KUALA LUMPUR, 11 FEBRUARY 2022 – FastJobs Malaysia, a tech-driven job platform that  provides equal access to gainful employment to Malaysians has launched FastGig, a mobile  app that allows the hustlers in the gig economy to have full control of their gigs in a simple and  convenient way. 

There are around 4 million individuals in the Malaysian gig economy as of April 2021, and the  number is steadily rising as a lot of people are now turning to digital platforms to make a living  in the wake of the pandemic, and now, as we move towards living in an endemic era.  

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 February 2021 – Opensignal, the independent global standard for measuring real world mobile network experience, has just announced the winners of its Global Mobile Network Experience Awards 2022.

The awards compare and rank the world’s best mobile operators utilising billions of measurements collected by Opensignal from millions of devices during the last six months of 2021.

The data collected for Malaysia highlights that while Malaysian mobile users are seeing improvements in some areas (in particular 4G Availability) the mobile experience for most Malaysian users is still significantly below the experience enjoyed in many countries.

This is highlighted by the fact that no Malaysian mobile operators were successful in achieving ‘Global Winner’, ‘Global Leader’ or ‘Global High Performer’ awards across six categories including Video Experience, Games Experience, Voice App Experience, Download Speed Experience, Upload Speed Experience and 4G Availability.
