  YTL Power International Bhd’s 60 per cent-owned YTL Communications Sdn Bhd is working on several initiatives in efforts to alleviate the nation, amid the current difficult times due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

  One of the initiatives the company has introduced is to zeroise all phone calls for its mobile 4G brand "YES" to emergency helplines.
  YES, which last year emerged as the second country in the world and the first in Asia to deploy the 5G-ready Terragraph network, is also reminding Malaysians to avoid being outdoors during the Restricted Movement Order (RMO), implemented on 18th March nationwide to curb the spread of COVID-19.




  The 4G mobile operator has updated its operator signal bar which now displays ‘Y E S StayHome’ telling all Malaysians to be responsible for their well-being and to stay at home.
  "Today and until the end of the RMO, YES stands with all Malaysians as one by championing the two key initiatives that will make a difference for the better. We are changing the brand name with spacing as a reminder for the need for social distancing. YES is doing the best in its ability to keep Malaysians connected and hopes everyone will stay safe and be responsible for one another," said YTL in a statement.
  YTL said that as Malaysia’s first and only all-LTE service provider, YES has the responsibility to ensure the continuity of operations to serve the nation during this trying time, whilst maintaining constant communication with YES subscribers on its online service.




  YES, which was launched on 19th November 2010 as a WiMAX provider is the first and only 100 per cent 4G mobile operator in Malaysia. It is also the country's first operator to offer voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) service for high definition and crystal clear calls winning innovation awards for its services annually.
  In July 2019, YES deployed the world’s largest Terragraph (gigabit-speed) network in Georgetown, Penang and is eyeing more cities in Malaysia. The Terragraph network is the first millimetre wave network and the first large-scale IPv6 network — the two foundations to support 5G capabilities - of its kind in Malaysia. Using Terragraph, YES can deliver broadband services more than (100Mbps) to businesses and hotels in George Town.
  "This year YES continues to drive the best in mobility with the launch of Malaysia’s first and still only Unlimited HD Prepaid add-on," the firm said.
