Continue Enhancing Nadi To Maximise Public Benefit, Fahmi Tells MCMC
From Mohd Khairi Idham Amran GENEVA (Switzerland), July 7 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been urged to further enhance all 1,099 National Information Dissemination Centres (NADI) nationwide to maximise benefit for the public. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said key areas for improvement include increasing internet speed and offering additional services such as e-Health. 'I will ask MCMC to review several aspects to ensure that NADI truly becomes NADI MADANI. 'Our aim is for all 1,099 NADI MADANI across the country to be fully utilised by the people,' he told reporters after the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes 2025 award ceremony here today. At the event, MCMC's NADI Digital Inclusive Project was named one of the WSIS Prizes 2025 winners through its NADI Pulau Banggi initiative, for its success in providing digital literacy, skills training and economic opportunities to one of Malaysia's most remote island communities. Fahmi said the award reflects global recognition of MCMC's initiative to bridge the digital divide and improve internet connectivity for Malaysians. 'This is an acknowledgement that MCMC's efforts not only help close the digital gap across the country, including in areas long affected by poor connectivity, but can also serve as a model for other nations. 'In many places, when I share about such initiatives with fellow ministers, they express strong interest in learning more about this model,' he said.
