U Mobile & WeChat Introduces Unlimited Data For Chinese Tourists

U Mobile and WeChat Introduces Unlimited Data For Chinese Tourists

U Mobile today announced a partnership with WeChat to launch the U Mobile WeChat Go SIM. This new prepaid SIM will offer Chinese tourists unlimited data to enjoy social messaging on the WeChat app and free Lingcod TV subscription whilst having unlimited data to stream over 100,000 hours of high-definition movies, documentaries, and educational content out of China.

The new U Mobile WeChat Go SIM will be the only WeChat Go cobranded prepaid SIM in the country and it is packed with other value-added services including 1GB of free roaming data for Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia and 60 minutes’ worth of IDD calls to China or calls made in Malaysia.

The launch of U Mobile WeChat Go SIM is very timely as the Malaysian Tourism and Culture Ministry is targeting to attract eight million Chinese tourists by 2020. With more and more tourists from China visiting Malaysia, the U Mobile prepaid WeChat Go SIM is well positioned to meet all their connectivity demands.

“With the new U Mobile WeChat Go SIM, the whole WeChat ecosystem goes beyond just social messaging. Together with WeChat, we will work on packing even more benefits like mobile commerce into the WeChat Go SIM not just for Chinese tourists but for anyone who is a user of WeChat,” said Jasmine Lee, Chief Marketing Officer, U Mobile.

U Mobile WeChat Go SIM will be available from 6 December 2017, and Chinese tourists may opt to purchase the prepaid SIM pack from Sunway Media retailers in China prior to travelling. The SIM card will also be available at 138 U Mobile outlets in Malaysia as well as the various international airports in the country such as KLIA and KLIA 2.

Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link on track to open by 2024, should cut down Causeway jams: Khaw Boon Wan

Works on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, which will allow commuters to take the train across the border, are on track for completion in 2024, the Land Transport Authority said on Tuesday (April 17).

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan shared photos and videos of the progress of the RTS Link.

He visited the sites at the Woodlands station, as well as Bukit Chagar station in Johor.

"We are bullish about the upcoming RTS Link, linking Woodlands North Station to Bukit Chagar Station in JB," he wrote. "When completed in 2024, it should be the preferred mode of transport for commuters crossing the Johor Strait."

He added that the trip between the two stations takes just five minutes.

"Over at Bukit Chagar, ample provisions will be made for Malaysian commuters to park their vehicles," wrote Mr Khaw.

He added that the development "should shift commuters currently using the Causeway", and said the RTS Link is expected to "significantly cut down the Causeway jams".

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak had witnessed the signing of a bilateral agreement to build the RTS Link on Jan 16.

The myBas public intracity bus service, expected to commence in Johor Baru in August, will have the largest fleet in the country.

It will involve 249 buses, 222 diesel buses and 27 electric buses connecting major areas within Johor Baru.

“The bus services will be provided in four phases and the fleet in Johor is the biggest compared to other states.

“The fares will range between RM1 and RM4, depending on the distance,” said Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) acting chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad.

Among the areas the service will cover are Setia Indah, Kempas, Ulu Tiram, Gelang Patah, Senai International Airport, Permas Jaya, Selesa Jaya, Taman Universiti, Pulai Indah, Larkin, Taman Tan Sri Yaakob, Pasir Gudang, Terminal Kota Masai, Terminal Pasir Gudang, Bukit Indah, Taman Flora Heights, Bakar Batu, Seri Alam, and Johor Premium Outlet.

To facilitate this service, SPAD signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with network operator Handal Indah Sdn Bhd.

The ceremony was witnessed by Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

Mohamed Khaled said building the network of infrastructure and public amenities was key to the city’s development.

“In the next 10 years, Johor wants to be an important economic player in Malaysia and have an influential regional position.

“This cannot be achieved if Johor Baru does not have a developed network of infrastructure,” he said at the signing of the MoU.

Under the Stage Bus Service Transformation (SBST) programme, the government is expected to spend about RM90mil per year in Johor Baru.

SPAD chief operating officer Qamar Wan Noor said ridership for buses was expected to increase by 31% to 44,145 passengers from the 33,610 currently in Johor Baru in the next five years.

“On average, we have seen an increase in ridership of between 5% and 15% for the existing bus services provided in other cities,” she said.

Currently, the bus service is provided in Kangar, Seremban, Ipoh and Kuala Terengganu.

Qamar said SPAD planned to launch the myBas service in Alor Setar and Melaka this year.
