CelcomDigi Berhad (“CelcomDigi”) has unveiled a short film featuring two world-class Malaysian athletes in a coordinated challenge designed to demonstrate the real-time responsiveness made possible by 5G connectivity. The film entitled “An Epic Showcase of 5G” brings together Soh Wai Ching, the World’s No. 1 towerrunner, and Qabil Irfan, motorsports rising star and FIM MiniGP World Champion, in a synchronised test where timing determines the outcome.
In the film, Soh Wai Ching, who recently set a new record in the Malaysia Book of Records for the fastest climb up Exchange 106, sprints up 106 floors to hit a buzzer, while Qabil Irfan races along a track where a gate narrows continuously. The challenge depends on whether the buzzer is activated before the gate closes, highlights how timing, accuracy, and connectivity must work in perfect sync to achieve a single outcome. The experience is crafted to help viewers feel the difference that ultra-speed and real-time responsiveness can make, whether in mission-critical actions, remote operations, streaming, gaming, or everyday digital use.
“5G services open new possibilities for how people live, work, and enjoy digital content. This showcase is a simple but powerful way to help Malaysians see what ultra-fast responsiveness looks like in action. Our focus is to deliver the best 5G service experience through great value plans, widest range of 5G device choices, and seamless internet access locally and abroad with the best global roaming partners,” said Chan May Ling, Head of Brand and Marketing Services.
