KUALA LUMPUR: Huawei Malaysia has signed notes of understanding (NOUs) with Melaka ICT Holdings on information and communication technologies to contribute to the Malaysia Smart City initiative.

He said with strong focus on digital inclusion, Malaysia has the potential to be a bellwether in sustainable Smart Country initiatives in ASEAN.

Meanwhile, Melaka ICT Holding Sdn BHd Deputy Chairman, Datuk Wizan Abdul Ghani, said the Smart City initiative was part of the bigger technology infrastructure and economic development blueprint in Malaysia.

“Leveraging on Huawei’s ICT industry expertise, cutting edge end-to-end security and innovative technology solutions and our local reach, we are set up for success in this endeavour,” he said. — Bernama
