In a significant stride towards amplifying the country’s digital economy, Malaysia’s recent Cabinet reshuffle led to the separation of the Communications Ministry and the Digital Ministry. This move aims to centralise efforts and policies, driving the nation’s technological progression.
Fahmi Fadzil, the Communication Minister, emphasised the necessity of streamlining internal policies to fortify the digital sector. He highlighted the deliberations with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s team, identifying the need for cohesive coordination across various ministries. Previously, the digital economy spanned four ministries, leading to fragmented handling of crucial aspects.
