Digital Ministry launches public survey to shape Malaysia's digital future
PETALING JAYA: In a bid to support national digital transformation, the Digital Ministry has opened a public survey on the Rakyat Digital portal for Malaysians to voice their digital needs and aspirations. In a statement on Tuesday (July 15), the ministry emphasised that public participation in the survey is not merely a sharing of opinions, but also signifies their role as partners in shaping a digitally empowered Malaysia. "This initiative aims to ensure that the country's digital policies genuinely reflect the needs and aspirations of the people, and that the benefits of digital transformation are equitably experienced by all. "By gathering direct citizen feedback, this initiative will shape concrete actions for the mid-term review of Mydigital Aspiration, ensuring future strategies are inclusive, resilient, and truly reflect the diverse needs and aspirations of society," the statement read. Through the survey, the ministry aims to understand ideas on digital access and connectivity challenges for the public and industry, digital literacy gaps and training needs, as well as risks and opportunities of emerging technologies. "These insights will guide policy improvements and the development of initiatives that truly address real-world situations, especially for underserved communities. "The survey asks for postcode information, used only for broad, non-personal demographic analysis, without identifying individuals," it added. With the goal to shape inclusive digital policies, the ministry urged all Malaysians, regardless of age, background, or location, to take part in this crucial survey. "Every citizen's contribution helps create Malaysia's digital future, ensuring no one is left behind as the nation moves towards a more connected and innovative society. "The survey is available online in Bahasa Melayu and English for broad participation. "The Ministry guarantees all collected data is handled with the highest standards of privacy and security," said the ministry.
