MAXIS BERHAD<br />
ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />
55<br />
Collaboration is becoming increasingly important in the fast-moving world of<br />
telecommunications and we have forged partnerships on several fronts to enhance<br />
efficiency and market reach. In October 2011, we entered into a landmark multi-billion<br />
ringgit agreement with U Mobile for “active sharing” of our 3G Radio Access Network<br />
(RAN), the first partnership of its kind in Malaysia.<br />
Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our unique capabilities to enhance growth<br />
and profitability. We plan to invest prudently in strengthening and modernising our<br />
networks while building on the extensive passive infrastructure sharing that we have<br />
already begun.<br />

We are grateful to our shareholders and customers for their trust and confidence.<br />
Our business partners have been an integral part of our success and we thank them for<br />

Communications and Multimedia Commission in building a vibrant telecommunications<br />
