As part of the Malaysian government's privatisation plans of the early-1980s, it was decided in 1984 that the operator, Jabatan Telekom Malaysia (JTM), should be separated from the jurisdiction of the regulator, the Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications, and Posts. The network operating responsibilities of JTM were transferred to a new organisation, Syarikat Telekom Malaysia Berhad (STM), on October 12, 1984. On May 27, 1991, STM officially changed its name to Telekom Malaysia. The company has been listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange since November 1990.

As of March 31, 2007, the Malaysian government, through various companies, directly and indirectly held a 42.99% stake in Telekom Malaysia. Foreign ownership amounted to 12.97%.
