OpenAI has recently introduced a new low-cost plan for the Malaysian market, namely ChatGPT Go. This plan offers higher access limits and models than free users, but is more limited than ChatGPT Plus users. This new plan is offered at a price of RM38.99 in Malaysia.
In parallel, OpenAI said that the use of ChatGPT has increased rapidly over the past year. Compared to 2024, ChatGPT weekly active users in Malaysia have increased by more than 2.5 times. However, the number of local users was not announced. ChatGPT simply informed that “millions” of people in Malaysia use ChatGPT for learning, creativity and daily problem solving.
Previously, ChatGPT was ready to state that their weekly active users have now reached 800 million users. The Malaysian government itself is also focusing on the artificial intelligence arena, and many local users have also been active in using various different artificial intelligence platforms.
In the 2026 Budget presented recently, the government also emphasized that Malaysia aims to become an AI nation by 2030.
