Malaysia Showcases ASEAN Leadership In Digital Growth And Regional Peace - Teo 

PETALING JAYA, July 29 (Bernama) -- As ASEAN Chair this year, Malaysia has not only taken bold steps in the digital domain, but also demonstrated effective diplomatic leadership in regional peace and stability, said Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching.

She noted that a key milestone was when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim successfully brokered a peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia over their border dispute, leading to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

“This achievement reinforced Malaysia’s commitment to ASEAN centrality for help in trade and innovation by ensuring Southeast Asia remains a zone of peace, freedom and neutrality. It also reflects the kind of leadership we aim to carry forward, one that embraces both technological progress and regional solidarity, recognising that a stable neighbourhood is essential for shared prosperity,” she said in her speech at the Malaysia-China Tech & Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference 2025 here today.

With the rapid advancement of digital technology and the transformation of global industries, she highlighted that Malaysia remains committed to ensuring a secure, efficient and innovative communications and multimedia ecosystem through the enforcement of regulations and technical standards under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Under this Act, she noted that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has introduced technical standards to ensure that all communications equipment and digital services in the country comply with high levels of safety, interoperability and reliability. “This approach not only safeguards consumer interests and the national network infrastructure but also ensures the country’s digital infrastructure and services align with international benchmarks,” she added.

Ramssol Group Bhd, in partnership with Equinix and Tencent Cloud, hosted the conference today to introduce Tencent Cloud’s latest AI and cloud-based solutions to the Malaysian market, through its subsidiary Rams Solutions.

In a statement, Ramssol said the initiative is aimed at helping local corporations and retail businesses integrate advanced Chinese AI and cloud technologies, enhancing operational efficiency and enabling data-driven customer experiences.
