‘MyDigital initiative to have big impact on investment community’
KUALA LUMPUR: The MyDigital initiative will have a far-reaching impact on the investment community, said RHB Banking Group managing director Datuk Khairussaleh Ramli.
It had come at an appropriate time in driving development through digital means, he added.
He urged government agencies and industry players to work together to build a strong foundation in digital adoption.
“This means building the infrastructure, facilitating innovation and creating an ecosystem that enables industry players to contribute to bridge the digital divide and support the country’s transition towards becoming a digitally driven, high-income nation,” he said at a webinar entitled “A Transformative Leap: MyDigital Insights & Fireside Chat” yesterday.
The session, hosted by RHB Investment
Bank, also facilitated direct engagement between investors and government agencies as well as the corporate sector, with a focus on the digital economy.
The webinar provided an interactive virtual platform for investors to gain a deeper insight into Malaysia’s digital landscape, including access to an exclusive panel session chaired by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department
(Economic Affairs) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, and the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint initiative.
Mustapa said the blueprint would pave the way towards making the country “digital-ready”.
“We had set up a national coun
cil that acts as a single coordinating body for the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint.
“We know that the public is excited to see a quick rollout of initiatives and, thus, more announcements will be made soon,” he said.
