Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was among key issues discussed at the National Digital Economy and 4IR Council (MED4IRN) meeting, which he chaired this morning.

“Among the main items on the agenda were the implementation of ‘MyDigital ID’, which needs to be strengthened, and the status of ‘MyGov Malaysia’, which requires the cooperation and support of all ministries and agencies.

“These efforts are part of preparations for Malaysia to become an AI-driven nation by 2030,” he said in a Facebook post.

Anwar said the meeting also endorsed the proposed National Quantum Policy, beginning with the establishment of a National Quantum Task Force to strengthen preparedness in addressing quantum technology advancements and the Q-Day threat, which could compromise the country’s data security and digital infrastructure.

He stressed that such measures were critical to ensure Malaysia remained competitive, resilient and ready to meet future technological challenges.
