JAKARTA, June 24 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has embarked on a promotional effort in Jakarta aimed at attracting more Indonesian students to further their studies at institutions of higher learning in Malaysia – and in the process, forging stronger people-to-people relations in both countries.
The MyEduTour: Discovery Malaysia 2025 programme, organised by Education Malaysia Indonesia (EMI) — which is the official representative of the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia — along with Tourism Malaysia Jakarta and the Malaysian Embassy, was held at the embassy ground.

The Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia, Datuk Syed Mohamed Hasrin Tengku Hussin, said the initiative was part of the country's soft diplomacy effort featuring five public institutions of higher education, five private institutions of higher education, and a travel agency offering travel packages based around education.
'It is hoped that this programme may contribute to closer exchanges between Malaysians and Indonesians and forge stronger societal ties,' he said, adding that some 11,000 Indonesian students are currently enrolled in study programmes in Malaysia.
The programme combines education and tourism for Indonesians and is in line with Malaysia's effort to become a regional hub for higher education.
The embassy's Minister Counsellor (Education), Hasnul Faizal Hushin Amri, said the platform enables universities in Malaysia to offer academic programmes through interaction sessions and educational visit packages.
'The seminar provided detailed information on the programmes on offer, and this helped educators and representatives of universities to make the best choices for their students,' he said.
MyEduTour is an ongoing effort to strengthen cooperation in education and tourism based on long-standing cultural and historical relations between Malaysia and Indonesia, he added.

PUTRAJAYA, June 25 (Bernama) -- The President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Zhaparov, who is on a two-day official visit to Malaysia, attended an official welcoming ceremony at the Perdana Putra Complex here today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim received Zhaparov upon his arrival at 9 am, with the national anthems of both countries played as a mark of respect. Zhaparov then inspected a guard of honour mounted by three officers and 103 personnel from the First Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment, led by Major Nur Ahmad Zaim Zahari. Also present were Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, other Cabinet members, foreign diplomats and senior government officials. Zhaparov then signed the guest book before proceeding to a bilateral meeting with Anwar. According to the Foreign Ministry, the leaders are expected to explore opportunities to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various fields, including trade and investment, renewable and green energy, the halal industry, agricommodity, tourism, education, and capacity-building through the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP). Both leaders will also witness the exchange of several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on tourism, digital transformation and cybersecurity, higher education, health, trade promotion, economic cooperation, scientific and research collaboration, as well as an Exchange of Notes on youth development and training for diplomats. A Letter of Intent on legal cooperation will also be signed. The visit marks Zhaparov's maiden official trip to Malaysia since assuming office in January 2021, and reciprocates Anwar's official visit to the Kyrgyz Republic in May last year. In 2024, the Kyrgyz Republic was Malaysia's fourth-largest trading partner among Central Asian countries, with total bilateral trade valued at RM40 million (USD8.74 million).

MyGov Malaysia app for easy access to govt agencies
PUTRAJAYA: MyGov Malaysia, a single digital gateway app for government services, will be launched next month, says Gobind Singh Deo (pic). The Digital Minister said the app is part of the nation's government technology (GovTech) initiative, providing Malaysians easy access to various government agencies. 'This is part of the government's plan to transform Malaysia into a digital nation. It is only right to ensure we have a single platform where Malaysians can deal with various government agencies seamlessly,' said Gobind in a statement. The MyGov Malaysia mobile application will focus on seven main services – travel (passport-related matters); registration (birth and citizenship); driving (road tax and driving licence); healthcare (appointments and medical records); summonses; housing (land tax/assessment rates); and Rahmah Cash Aid, with more features to be added in the near future. Gobind said MyGov Malaysia would be integrated with MyDigital ID to streamline access to government services via a single, secure platform. 'Users will be able to verify their identity and access multiple services directly through the mobile application using their MyDigital ID credentials. 'This unified approach not only simplifies user interaction with government platforms but also underpins the broader commitment to digital inclusivity, trust and service excellence by the Digital Ministry,' he said. As of June 23, a total of 2,604,160 MyDigital ID registrations have been recorded. The integration of the single sign-on will be for 34 main government system applications. 'The MyGov Malaysia app will allow Malaysians direct access to multiple services at the palm of their hands. This is part of our journey in transforming Malaysia into a digital nation, a journey that will benefit Malaysians and to ensure no one is left behind in a trusted digital environment,' Gobind added.
