KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) — The MyDIGITAL initiative, which will be executed via the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint, is a strategic step in the right direction to further grow Malaysia’s Digital Economy and anticipated to contribute 22.6% of Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP), while creating 500,000 new jobs.
For continued growth of the Digital Economy and even higher than the 22.6% GDP contribution in years ahead, Malaysia would need very stable internet infrastructure that’s robust and reliable as internet usage would inevitably surge in the years ahead for government, businesses and the rakyat.
