On 14th October 2022, YTL Communications’ Yes launched the first fully enabled and powered by 5G connectivity Yes Experience Store in Malaysia at Lot 10, Bukit Bintang. The experience store, a stone’s throw away from Menara YTL, was created with the aim to demonstrate the future of 5G connectivity in changing the way we live, work and play, falling in line with Yes’ mission to enable 5G connectivity for the nation.
Being the first-of-its-kind in the country, the Yes Experience Store brings a whole new experience for Malaysians to try their hand at ultra-fast connectivity of Yes 5G, with reduced latency, swift response times, and reliable coverage.
The store is more than just a place to purchase the Yes Infinite Gateway 5G Wireless Broadband, Yes First to 5G prepaid plans and Yes Infinite 5G postpaid plans. At the heart of the store is Malaysia’s first 5G-enabled cafe and restaurant, for customers to dine and enjoy 5G connectivity with friends and family over a cup of joe. Paired with the 5G Experience Centre, the store provides a modular space for private or corporate functions that can range from co-working sessions and conferences, to tech hackathons, 5G powered gaming tournaments and entertainment activities. The store will be a true community space that serves to connect people while harnessing the potential of technology.
During the launch, CEO of YTL Communications, Wing K. Lee stated his hopes in creating a community-centered space for the public to enjoy 5G, “With the official launch of our first Yes Experience Store, we are proud to take another step forward into our mission of “5G for All”, providing a technologically advanced space for the community to work and play – all while enjoying the best that Yes 5G has to offer.”
“Malaysians will have the opportunity to experience more of our world-class 5G connectivity, such as our 5G download speeds of over 665Mbps, which is over 15 times higher than the current average 4G speed of 44.1Mbps. This is part of our commitment to providing affordable 5G services and solutions for the benefit of every Malaysian, that makes every day experiences simpler, easier and better. Yes will continue to play a leading role in enabling a more connected future for the nation through 5G.”

Besides free 5G WiFi connectivity, the Yes Experience Store also offers customers a variety of hands-on 5G tech experiences, from the latest 5G devices and 5G-powered robots to VR experiences with the HTC Viveflow VR Glasses. With the store’s modern design and stunning setup, it also serves as the perfect place for taking Instagram-worthy pictures, creative photos and video shoots.
The refresh of Yes’ exclusive Yes 5G Databack programme with Shopee was also announced at the launch of the store as both Yes 5G and 4G Prepaid and Postpaid users are rewarded with free 5GB data for every RM50 spent on the platform. To date, over 13.7 million users have received Yes Databack, with a total of 2.46 billion GB Databack distributed, and these numbers will only continue to increase with Yes 5G Databack.
If you are not KL-based and are upset that you can’t join in on the fun, fret not as Yes plans to expand their Experience Stores to other states in the future. And if you are based at Menara YTL, don’t just take our word for it, go experience 5G like never before!
