Description

The annual spending on ICT is expected to retain its fast pace. Mobile penetration in Malaysia is second only to Singapore in the Southeast Asia region. Though ICT uptake is better in Malaysian enterprises than in households, it faces significant challenges. To correct labor shortages in the ICT industry, Malaysia offers work permits for foreign workers and has increased efforts to upgrade domestic ICT literacy. The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) provides world-class ICT infrastructure, with a high-speed link connecting to Japan, the ASEAN countries, the United States, and Europe.
