14 August 2026 – MyDIGITAL Corporation has officially exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pepper Labs to accelerate digital adoption, AI literacy and business growth under our flagship Rakyat Digital ecosystem.

Through this strategic partnership, Rakyat Digital is bringing practical AI skills directly to the ground through two core pillars:

  • Dapur Digital: Meeting local communities and micro-entrepreneurs where they are. We are bringing Rakyat Digital to these Dapurs ensuring community businesses can thrive in the digital economy.
  • AVPN & AI-Ready Malaysia Initiatives: Soon to feature courses on the Digital Skills Hub platform to support AI capabilities for 50,000 Malaysians – including MSMEs, university students, and educators. Pepper Labs will deliver additional courses on the ground supported by the AI Opportunity Fund (in collaboration with Google.org & ADB).

From community outreach at Dapur Digital to practical upskilling in the Digital Skills Hub, MyDIGITAL Corporation continues to lead the charge in making digital transformation inclusive, practical, and accessible for all Malaysians. 

Let’s build an AI-ready nation together!

“Malaysia has set the aspiration of KL20; to be the world’s top 20 innovation hub and startup ecosystem by 2030. Very ambitious but not impossible to achieve. Hence it is imperative to ensure the availability of local talents who will drive the country’s AI technology growth. Active efforts are being made to improve digital skills and re-skilling at all levels of society; from identifying challenges and opportunities in the digital talent landscape in Malaysia, to coordinating efforts to improve the school education curriculum. By fostering awareness and understanding of new technologies, we can turn doubt into hope, fear into empowerment and challenges into opportunities to attract digital talent to deepen knowledge and skills in new technologies including AI technology.” said Rafizi Ramli, Minister of Economy of Malaysia.

AI untuk Rakyat is an initiative to close the digital literacy gap among Malaysians. For students, this program can provide a basic overview of the world of AI which aims to attract their interest to enter and further build a career in this sector. For other groups of society, this program can provide a basic understanding of AI to promote better awareness and appreciation of a technology that is beneficial to individuals, society and ultimately the country.
