Malaysian Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has announced the Cabinet has agreed to a number of changes, including new homes for its digital ID system and the public corporation developing it. Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), which operates Malaysia’s 5G network, and Cybersecurity Malaysia will also operate under the Digital Ministry.
Mimos Berhad will move from JPM to the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry. While Malaysia’s digital ID system, developed by Mimos through the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint initiative, is currently under JPM, it will move to the Digital Ministry as well once it is fully implemented in March.
