PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he is disappointed over delays in executing the MyDigital ID and second 5G network national digital initiatives, reported Bernama.
He said the rollout of MyDigital ID is a year behind schedule, while the second 5G network remains stalled as negotiations for the project have not received a positive response from Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) and telecommunication companies.
"This has caused me to lose some patience,” he said at the Finance Ministry’s monthly assembly in Putrajaya today.
He described the delays in both projects as negligent and a hindrance to the nation’s efforts in realising its digital transformation agenda.
Anwar stressed the importance of expediting the two projects as Malaysia will be Asean chair next year, and the grouping's focus will be on the Asean Energy Grid agenda, digital networks, and food technology.
Anwar also noted that he had conveyed his dissatisfaction over the matter during the National Digital Economy and Fourth Industrial Revolution Council (MED4IRN) meeting yesterday. - December 5, 2024
