Budget 2026 signals Malaysia’s boldest digital push yet, with initiatives ranging from a RM2 billion Sovereign AI Cloud and RM5.9 billion R&D, commercialisation and innovation (R&D&C&I) fund to new AI and cybersecurity training incentives for SMEs.

But beyond the hype, can Malaysia really execute? Are our SMEs ready to go digital, and do people even understand what these AI initiatives mean for them?

Alex Liew, Chairman of the National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM), joins us to discuss whether Malaysia’s new tech policies can deliver real-world impact, and how execution, inclusivity, and cyber trust will define the country’s digital future.
