Sacofa Submarine Cable System

SACOFA Sdn Bhd, a Sarawak Government-backed company, has successfully laid a 950km long submarine fibre optic linking Buntal in Kuching to Mersing in Johore. This "East-West Submarine Cable System" has a capacity of 20 gigabytes, said State Secretary Datuk Amar Abdul Aziz Husain who performed the soft launch in Kuching recently. The fibre optic system would enable broadband services to be more easily available to the people.
