KUALA LUMPUR: The 2024 Budget needs to reflect the country's priorities in driving the digital sector and 5G network technology through accurate investments and smart strategies to overcome issues related to poor coverage, network problems and service charges, says the Malaysia Cyber Consumer Association (MCCA).
MCCA president Siraj Jalil said this was because the digital world is now filled with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence , Augmented Reality , Virtual Reality and Internet of Things , thus enhancing the country's cyber world.
"Through government-private partnership, we can combine resources and expertise to ensure Malaysia is at the forefront of the 5G revolution," he told Bernama. Yayasan Digital Malaysia chief executive officer Nasru Syazwan Nawai said with the rapid development towards digitisation which saw many sectors and industries moving towards digitalisation, cyber security issues need to be given attention especially from the legal aspect.
The Unity Government through Budget 2023 allocated RM10mil to the National Scam Response Centre to upgrade equipment and start an awareness campaign as well as promote the 997 hotline.
