Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announces new digital transformation units for every ministry and an accelerated MyDigital ID rollout to enhance public services.
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Digital Economy and Fourth Industrial Revolution Council (MED4IRN) has agreed to establish a Digital Transformation Unit in every ministry.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the council also endorsed accelerating registration for the national digital identity, MyDigital ID.
“Priority is also being given to expanding internet coverage and improving service quality at public universities and government training centres to support continuous digital teaching and learning,” Anwar said in a statement.
He chaired the MED4IRN meeting which aimed to strengthen public-sector digitalisation under the government’s innovation agenda.
The council also backed efforts to advance MyGov Malaysia as a single artificial intelligence-driven digital gateway for services.
To realise Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a Global Digital Creative Hub by 2030, the government has drawn up the Digital Creative Ecosystem Roadmap 2026–2030.
This roadmap aims to position the country as a leader in high-quality intellectual property creation and world-class creative talent development.
Anwar said these initiatives form the foundation of Phase 3 of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint.
The blueprint’s next phase focuses on empowering businesses, improving living standards and driving digital economic reforms.
“InshaaAllah, the MADANI government will remain committed to delivering efficient, people-focused services,” he added.
He said this commitment would ensure Malaysia stays competitive, prosperous and prepared for the rapid changes of the digital era.
