The government has just launched a new National Fourth Industrial Revolution Policy, aimed at propelling Malaysia towards high-income nation status, through the use of developing technologies. But while the country undoubtedly needs to digitize in order to move forward into a new technological age, does this policy provide a sufficient roadmap? We speak to Dr. Rachel Gong, Senior Research Associate from Khazanah Research Institute to find out.

Dr. Rachel Gong led the team that produced KRI’s new book on digital policy issues, available here.
