Reflecting on the ministry’s two-year milestone, Gobind highlighted several key achievements, including the gazetting and enforcement of pivotal legislation such as the Data Sharing Act 2025 [Act 864] and the rollout of the National Cloud Computing Policy (NCCP).
“In 2025, the Ministry transitions from the planning phase to full implementation with the gazetting of the Data Sharing Act 2025, the launch of the National Cloud Computing Policy (NCCP), as well as the rollout of the AI City pilot projects in Putrajaya and seven other cities to strengthen the nation’s digital infrastructure,” he explained.
The anniversary celebration served as a platform to recognise the ministry’s progress, reinforce leadership within the digital sector, and reaffirm the commitment of all ministry personnel in driving Malaysia’s digital transformation towards 2030. - December 13, 2025
