KUALA LUMPUR: The 2027 Budget reinforces Malaysia's commitment to strengthening its digital economy through investments in connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and analysts say.
The initiatives aim to expand digital access, improve public services and boost economic competitiveness. However, analysts say effective implementation, domestic technology development and private sector participation will be crucial to achieving these goals.
Among the key initiatives are RM5 billion for the National Digital Network Plan (JENDELA), RM1 billion for the national digital healthcare ecosystem and RM142 million to strengthen National Information Dissemination Centres (NADI).
