Fifteen government officers from various departments and Ministries graduated recently from the inaugural ‘ACE: Navigating the Digital Frontier for Smart Government’ programme, co-organised by Multimedia University (MMU) and ZTE Malaysia.
The graduation ceremony, held in Beijing, underscored ZTE’s commitment to supporting
Malaysia’s digital transformation and 5G goals, which align with Malaysia’s ambition to
accelerate its adoption of advanced technologies.
Kicking off in May this year, the six-month programme aimed to bridge academic expertise with industry insights, equipping participants with essential skills in artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, and cybersecurity – crucial areas supporting Malaysia’s future-ready, connected society.
The programme also supports the visionary goal championed by the Malaysia government to make Malaysia a leader in AI and digital innovation in Southeast Asia and supporting the
government’s commitment to utilise AI for the people to create opportunities of a digital future.
Yusri Razalli, Senior Deputy Director of Malaysia’s Public Service Department, expressed his
appreciation to MMU and ZTE for their commitment and cooperation in supporting this
programme, emphasising its significant role in enabling government officers to deliver the best for the people through digital innovation and AI.
“The main objective of this programme is to equip government officers with the skills to embrace the latest digital initiatives, which in turn improves the efficiency of government service delivery,” he said during his speech at the graduation ceremony.
Steven Ge, Managing Director of ZTE Malaysia, said that the programme was significant to
continue Malaysia’s digital trajectory as the programme participants will play a vital role in
advancing digital governance and AI adoption within the public sector.
