SpaceX has donated 50 Starlink satellite internet kits to Malaysia to support disaster preparedness efforts, according to Anadolu Agency.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the cooperation with Starlink is intended to expand connectivity in remote communities, which can lose access to conventional communication networks during natural disasters such as floods.
Satellite internet kits like Starlink's can provide connectivity in areas where terrestrial infrastructure has been damaged or does not reach, making them a tool increasingly used in disaster response and preparedness planning around the world.
Further details on the distribution timeline or the specific communities set to receive the kits were not included in the available reporting.
