Editor's Notes
On the back of all of this, Digital Malaysia has been mapped out and is anchored on three key strategic thrusts that are aimed at creating an ecosystem which promotes the pervasive use of ICT in all aspects of the economy; to connect communities globally and to interact in real time resulting in increased Gross National Income, enhanced productivity and improved standards of living.
There are four initiatives that will serve as Digital Malaysia’s priority areas – one, to tap the demand for
digital goods and services; two, to increase citizen income and unlock entrepreneurial potential; three, to nurture a new
generation of IT-savvy youth who will be the bulk of the workforce in 2020; and four, to enhance SME productivity by encouraging
entrepreneurship.
