In an effort to achieve AI Nation status by 2030, the government also tabled Budget 2026 which will offer RM2 billion to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), in an effort to build a sovereign AI cloud computing infrastructure centered in Malaysia.
With this move, it will ensure the development of a secure national artificial intelligence capability, as well as supporting government services and the country's digital development. This will also reduce dependence on external technology, as well as further expanding local technology capabilities.
Full details on this matter are still unknown, and are expected to be known more when this presentation is discussed in more depth.
