AI mastery essential for progressive society says DPM Fadillah
Fadillah, who is also the Member of Parliament for Petra Jaya, said in today's fast-evolving digital landscape, enhancing digital skills is a shared responsibility that benefits individuals, families, and the wider community.
'Learning has no age limit. As long as we are able, seeking knowledge is a noble pursuit that benefits not just ourselves, but also those around us.
'In a world that is constantly changing, it is our responsibility to keep improving our skills and adapting to digital transformation,' he said in a Facebook post today.
Earlier, Fadillah visited the 'AI for MY Future' training programme held in the Petra Jaya parliamentary constituency at the Centre for Technology Excellence Sarawak (CENTEXS) in Kuching.
The programme brought together 150 participants, including 51 community leaders, 33 teachers, and 24 entrepreneurs, and focused on the application of AI in areas such as data analytics, document creation, and digital management and reporting.
Fadillah highlighted the value of tools like Microsoft Co-Pilot, especially for community leaders who often work without sufficient administrative support.
'With tools like Microsoft Co-Pilot, they can now carry out their duties more efficiently and professionally – from preparing reports and communication materials to managing data,' he said.
He also thanked the organisers and encouraged similar initiatives to be extended to other areas.
'My message to all participants - with the knowledge and understanding of AI and digital transformation, we not only enhance our individual capabilities but also drive meaningful change in our communities,' he added. - Bernama

MOHE strengthens cooperation with Indonesia
PUTRAJAYA: The Higher Education Ministry remains committed to strengthening regional cooperation, especially with Indonesia, to make Malaysia a top destination for international students. The ministry, in a statement today, said that among the areas of cooperation set to be strengthened with Indonesia include research collaboration and the mobility of lecturers and students in strategic fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), renewable energy technology and aerospace. It said cooperation between higher education institutions in both countries will also be a key focus, building upon existing collaborations in the higher education sector. This commitment was formalised following a two-day working visit by ministry Secretary-General Datuk Dr Anesee Ibrahim to Indonesia on Friday. During the visit, he attended a series of programmes, meetings, and courtesy visits with his Indonesian counterparts, which successfully opened new avenues and opportunities for enhanced bilateral cooperation in higher education between Malaysia and Indonesia. Indonesia remains one of the top countries sending students to pursue higher education in Malaysia, with 11,293 Indonesian students recorded as of March 2025. As of December last year, there were 464 collaboration agreements established between Malaysian and Indonesian higher education institutions, covering initiatives such as student and academic staff mobility for capacity-building programmes. In addition, the Malaysia International Scholarship initiative continues to offer opportunities for Indonesian students to further their studies at Malaysian institutions of higher education, with 21 students benefitting from the programme as of December 2024. "The ministry is confident that efforts to promote Malaysia as a preferred destination for international students will further enhance the country's image globally. "The higher education internationalisation policy, which is aligned with current global trends and demands, will help strengthen Malaysia's competitiveness on the world stage, in line with the core values of Malaysia Madani, namely sustainability, prosperity, creativity and confidence." – Bernama
