KUALA LUMPUR: Minister of Communications and Digital Fahmi Fadzil (pix) is confident Malaysia has the potential to become an Asian digital ‘tiger’ if the country can achieve success in the three main aspects related to digital infrastructure and economy.
He said the first aspect is to resolve the issue of the last three per cent of populated areas that do not have network coverage.
“Secondly, to guarantee or improve the level of cybersecurity and personal data protection and thirdly increase the amount of investments and expanding digital economy.
“If these three aspects (can be achieved) with the cooperation of various agencies and parties under the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD), I believe the spillover from this effort can be enjoyed by the people and that success will eventually see Malaysia becoming an Asian digital tiger,” he said.
He told reporters this after officiating the #JagaDataKita campaign and Touch ‘n Go eWallet MyCyberShield personal data protection subscription today. -Bernama
