Also present is Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi (left) and Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil (right). JOHOR BARU: The federal government will allocate RM300mil over the next two years to improve digital infrastructure, expand 5G coverage and strengthen cybersecurity awareness in Johor, particularly in areas linked to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Johor state government, is aimed at supporting the state's digital transformation and economic growth. "This is in line with the federal government's aspiration to help states like Johor enhance Internet access, accelerate digitalisation efforts, and increase public awareness on online safety and cybersecurity," he said. He added that the development will prioritise high-impact areas such as public transport hubs, industrial zones, data centre projects, tourist hotspots, and stadiums, particularly around the JS-SEZ. The strategic collaboration was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MCMC and the state government at Menara MBJB on Monday (April 21). The MoU exchange was conducted by state secretary Tan Sri Dr Azmi Rohani and MCMC executive chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din. The event was witnessed by Johor Regent Tunku Mahkota Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, and Fahmi. Fahmi said the first phase of the programme would focus on improving mobile network coverage and expanding 5G infrastructure in key JS-SEZ areas. "This will be one of MCMC's top priorities. The state government will assist with land matters, and we will also coordinate with local authorities through the One Stop Centre (OSC) to fast-track implementation," he said. MCMC will also work with the state to install public WiFi access points under the Johor Safe City initiative, aimed at providing secure Internet access for locals and tourists alike. The initiative also supports efforts to digitalise public and private sector services through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart technology applications. More to come
