ILMUchat Pro offers YES 5G subscribers a 100% discount on the standard RM 19.90 monthly fee, granting access to GPT-4-level AI and DALL·E 3 image generation at no cost.
Who Is This For?

It is particularly suited for students, freelancers, small business owners, and professionals who want to leverage generative AI without paying an additional subscription fee.
YES 5G currently serves over 1.2 million subscribers in Malaysia (as of Q4 2025, according to YTL’s annual report). The free Pro tier effectively makes advanced AI accessible to this user base, potentially increasing engagement with YTL’s 5G network.
