TM WELCOMES BUDGET 2026 AS A CATALYST FOR A MORE CONNECTED AND INCLUSIVE MALAYSIA
KUALA LUMPUR, 10 October 2025 – “TM, welcomes Budget 2026 announcement and lauds the Government’s continued focus on economic reform and uplifting the well-being of the rakyat. The strong emphasis on digital infrastructure and inclusivity from the expansion of JENDELA 2, Points of Presence (PoP), NADI Centres, and the new Sambungan Kabel Dasar Laut MADANI (SALAM) will further strengthen our national digital resilience.
We are encouraged by the Government’s strategic intent to advance the Sovereign AI Cloud and establish an AI Transformation Centre, which embodies Malaysia’s determination to lead in a digital-first world. We align closely with this direction through TM Cloud Alpha Edge, our platform built to safeguard national data sovereignty while enabling innovation across industries. We are also proud that Multimedia University (MMU), our education arm, has been recognised as part of this journey to develop future AI talent and research excellence.
Recognising the Budget’s focus on people, TM is heartened to see continued support for MSMEs, TVET and capability building, alongside the expansion of Kampung Angkat MADANI and Sekolah Angkat MADANI. These initiatives remind us that true progress happens when communities are empowered, opportunities are created, and every Malaysian is able to participate meaningfully in the nation’s progress and digital journey.
As TM continues our path towards becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, we remain steadfast in enabling the digital economy and partnering with the Government to realise a sustainable, inclusive and digitally powered Malaysia by expanding national connectivity, strengthening sovereign digital capabilities, nurturing talents as well as driving greater purpose together.”
