KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 (NNN-Bernama) — Malaysia is poised to be in the Global Digital Competitiveness Index\u2019s top 10 ranking in terms of digital infrastructure by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) said that this can be achieved by addressing the issue of digital infrastructure construction through enhancing the cooperation between the relevant ministries and agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MPC director-general Abdul Latif Abu Seman in a statement said such cooperation is crucial to coordinate infrastructure data in order to design the appropriate interventions in digital infrastructure construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also noted that under the 12th Malaysia Plan, there are differences in relevant policies and regulations with regards to the provision of digital infrastructure in each state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs such, one of the steps that can be taken to improve Malaysia\u2019s standing is accelerating the construction of digital infrastructure through continuous engagement sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is to increase the industry\u2019s understanding of the government\u2019s efforts in improving the business environment, especially in relation to the construction of digital infrastructure along the highways,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdul Latif said MPC has been focusing on change management, together with MyDIGITAL Corporation in collaboration with the Business Facilitation Special Task Force (PEMUDAH), Productivity Nexus, ministries and agencies to support the country’s digital competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that technology and digitalisation are important factors to boost productivity, which contributes to the people\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMPC had also conducted a deep-dive on competitiveness indicators to identify specific issues which pose a challenge to the country’s competitiveness in terms of the implementation of improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is jointly conducted by the public and private sectors through the \u2018collaborative innovation\u2019 approach,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
