Subject ARTICLE ENTITLED: "TELEKOM CONSORTIUM FAILS IN BID TO BUY STAKE IN MALAWI TELECOMMUNICATIONS LIMITED (MTL)"

Contents :

We refer to the newspaper article entitled “Telekom consortium fails in bid to buy stake in MTL” appearing on pages 1 and 6 of the Business Section of the New Straits Times, dated 8 July 2003, in particular the following sentences mentioned in the said article:


A Consortium, in which Telekom Malaysia Bhd is a member, has failed in its attempt to buy a stake in Malawi Telecommunications Ltd (MTL) under the country’s privatization Programme.

“……Masons Intertrade of Tanzania had expressed interest in MTL and indicated that Telekom Malaysia was its technical partner.”

We would like to confirm the report. However, we wish to clarify that TM’s involvement in the consortium with Masons Intertrade of Tanzania (“Masons”) is to provide technical, marketing and management expertise on contractual basis, subject to a successful bid for a stake in MTL by Masons. TM does not have any equity interest in the consortium.
