It\u2019s been constantly popping up in conversations, news articles, and government initiatives all over the world since the pandemic started \u2014 Malaysia included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic has no doubt accelerated growth within the digital economy \u2014 forcing traditional brick-and-mortar enterprises to get online, paving the way for new digital businesses. Increasing the importance and reliance on digital platforms as millions of Malaysians turned online for their ecommerce, entertainment and even education needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re sure you definitely learnt a thing or two about the power of technology during the pandemic: from medical teleconsults to changing your Zoom backgrounds for meetings, online orders and home deliveries for almost everything under the sun, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/free-online-team-building-games\/\">online team building games<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of this, to ensure that no Malaysian is left behind as the rest of the world rides on the wave of digitalisation, the government identified an urgency in building the foundation for Malaysia\u2019s transformation towards an advanced digital economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 19th February 2021, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaysia.gov.my\/portal\/content\/31187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MyDIGITAL initiative<\/a> \u2014 as part of governmental plans to <em>&#8220;transform Malaysia into a digitally-driven, high income nation and a regional leader in the digital economy.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what exactly is this MyDIGITAL initiative, and how will it help Malaysia on its journey of digital transformation?

However, about 30% of SMEs only look at information, communications and technology (ICT) as a productivity tool instead of a business enabler. A further 20% of SMEs tend to wait until other companies have invested in, tested and proven a particular technology before considering using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"646\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image5.webp\" alt=\"Chart showing ICT adoption and productivity levels in Malaysian SMEs\" class=\"wp-image-26417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image5.webp 646w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image5-300x218.webp 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image5-440x320.webp 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: Malaysia Digital SME Study 2018, SME Corp.

The four types of IP that need improvement are; patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme aims to review and update existing laws, implement a digital IP enforcement strategy, understand the need for different rules and processes for products and services that are digitally generated and transacted, as well as enhance awareness of online branding protection using a Malaysian domain (.my). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-empowering-local-champions-and-stimulating-investment-through-digital-industry-clusters\">3. Empowering local champions and stimulating investment through digital industry clusters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the aim of establishing digital industry clusters as a regional hub, and for more local champions to become regional players, the government is hoping to spur economic development by raising the profiles of its digital industry clusters in foreign markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be done through promotional drives, participation in trade missions, and trade fairs \u2014 both internationally and locally. They are also keen to develop a single platform with a comprehensive database for investment opportunities, and increased ease of business collaborations within the clusters. Incentive packages will also be enhanced to attract targeted investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-incorporating-comprehensive-digital-economy-elements-in-international-trade-arrangements\">4. Incorporating comprehensive digital economy elements in international trade arrangements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative aims to accelerate digital integration actions at the regional level to facilitate cross-border trade and investment, and lower the operating barriers for businesses. Particularly the MSMEs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They aim to enhance trade arrangements and cooperation in strategic areas at bilateral and regional levels, by establishing a global framework that enables digital trade in a non-discriminatory and less restrictive manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-introducing-fit-for-purpose-tax-framework-to-capture-revenue-from-the-digital-economy-growth\">5. Introducing fit-for-purpose tax framework to capture revenue from the digital economy growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to facilitate fair competition for local businesses, and ensure a clear tax framework in promoting the digital economy, the government aims to develop frameworks and guidelines based on international best practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help to ensure that the income generated in Malaysia from cross-border digital activities is taxed in Malaysia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strategic-thrust-4-building-agile-and-competent-digital-talent\">Strategic thrust #4: Building agile and competent digital talent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"colleagues discussing about something shown on a laptop\" class=\"wp-image-26415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1-440x293.webp 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/image3-1.webp 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategic pillar is aimed at creating future-ready digital talents who are well-equipped with the skills required to thrive in an evolving digital job market.
