TM Celebrates Aidilfitri 2025 with “Salam Teristimewa”, Empowering Autistic Community through AI and Art

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 April 2025 – This Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (“TM” or “the Group”) presents “Salam Teristimewa”, a special campaign that brings together creativity, inclusion and innovation to celebrate the unique talents of Malaysia’s autistic community. Adding further meaning to the celebration, this year’s campaign also coincides with World Autism Acceptance Month in April. In supporting this, TM is collaborating with NakSeni, a social enterprise dedicated to empowering artists with disabilities, to shine a spotlight on three creative autistic individuals—Izzati Shahrin, Yuri Azzari, and Maria Soo. Rich in emotion, colour and individuality, their original artworks have been transformed by TM into dynamic, animated expressions using generative AI tools. These animated visuals offer an immersive glimpse into how neurodiverse individuals interpret themes such as festive joy, human connection and the feeling of belonging, among core elements of Aidilfitri that resonate will all Malaysians. Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM Group Chief Executive Officer said, “This Aidilfitri, we are celebrating the power of expression, inclusion, and how technology can and should be used to uplift lives. We believe that every voice, especially those less heard, has a story worth sharing. Through “Salam Teristimewa”, we are humbled to raise awareness around autism acceptance to foster a greater understanding of neurodiversity and promote a more inclusive society. “This initiative reflects TM’s broader aspiration to become a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, where innovation is not just about advancing technology, but about creating meaningful impact for communities. By harnessing the latest AI video generation tool, we have reimagined how art and technology can intersect to amplify underrepresented voices, and offer all Malaysians a new, heartfelt perspective on Raya,” added Amar. As part of the campaign, the public is invited to view the animated artworks on TM’s official social media platform via @mytmgroup or via the QR code below. Each piece offers a window into the autistic artists’ perspectives, blurring the line between technology and human emotion and creating a celebration that is truly teristimewa.

TM data centres now powered by clean energy

TM secures Green Electricity Tariff (GET) from TNB for its KL, Cyberjaya and Johor Bahru data centres, adding to their Green Building Index (GBI) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications Customers of data centre services provided by Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) will now be able to accelerate their sustainability journey, with the Group recently securing Green Electricity Tariff (GET) from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) for three (3) of its data centres.   The data centres comprise the Klang Valley Core Data Centre (KVDC) in Cyberjaya, Iskandar Puteri Core Data Centre (IPDC) in Johor Bahru and KL City Data Centre (CTDC) in Brickfields. This adoption of green energy supply complements the data centres’ Green Building Index (GBI) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications obtained previously for their efficient energy use, further cementing TM’s commitment towards reducing carbon emission and impact on the environment. GET is one of the Government’s initiatives to provide Malaysian consumers the option to use green electricity coming from renewable energy supply as the country moves towards achieving net-zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2050. GET subscribers are supplied with electricity coming from solar and hydro generators instead of fossil-fuel based. Imri Mokhtar, Group Chief Executive Officer, TM said, “The largest source of carbon emission worldwide is from electricity generation as well as heat management, and data centres use significant amounts of power to run the IT and Cloud workloads. This indirectly contributes to high level of carbon emission as the electricity typically comes from fossil fuel-based energy supply. With this clean electricity, we will substantially reduce the impact our data centres have on the environment, while continuing to enable our customers, from large enterprises, the public sector or global hyperscalers, to enjoy the convenience, stability and security of our data centre services. “For our data centre customers who are conscious of the green efforts in their business operations, GET fulfills this need, enabling them to deliver their products and services in a greener manner to their end customers. This green initiative by TM will provide a total energy saving of 27 million kWh per year, which is equivalent to a total carbon emission of 19,134 metric tons,” he added. “To put that into perspective, this is comparable to the amount of electricity used at 3,476 homes for a year, or 9.7 million litres of petrol consumed by the average automobile.” The adoption of GET is the latest among the Group’s various initiatives under the Environmental pillar of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment. Mindful of its responsibilities towards environment conservation and climate impact, the Group has included sustainability factors in all its operations in addition to running nature preservation activities via its foundation, Yayasan TM. In promoting sustainability, TM remains steadfast in its ESG commitments. For Environmental, the Group will progressively cut down emissions by 30% in 2024, 45% by 2030 and achieve Net-Zero emission by 2050. On Social, TM is set to provide access to high-speed internet to at least 70% of premises nationwide. The Group promotes gender diversity in decision-making roles by having a minimum of 30% women on its Board of Directors and in Management. Under Governance, TM will continue working with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to uphold its zero-tolerance to any form of corruption and maintain the highest standards of corporate governance.
