00:00Bibi, earlier you mentioned about the development of Malaysia's data

00:04Can you explain the needs of the company and when?

00:07If we look at the new technology, a lot of this technology will be based on AI and AI

00:14And we are all aware that the most important aspect to achieve this technology is data

00:21That's why the government has focused on bringing large investments, especially data centers and so on

00:27And we see investment from Google, Microsoft, ByteDance and so on

00:32And the amount of investment is quite large

00:34So when we look at that aspect, the question that arises is

00:39Do we have enough policy or framework to protect data

00:47And also to create policies that will allow or encourage the use of data

00:57But at the same time, ensure safety is always given priority

01:04So in that case, I have suggested that we create a data success order

01:11Actually, now we have a data success order from Prof. Nazri

01:18But there is no data success order yet

01:20But what exists is the power station

01:22So what I want to focus on is that we will use the power station platform first

01:28We will build the power station and move forward

01:31In the future, we will propose research so that the power station can be used as a data success order

01:39So that it can focus more on data aspects

01:44For me, it is very important to move forward

01:47So I think maybe at the end of this year

01:53Maybe at the beginning of next year, in March, the session of parliament

01:57We will be able to propose a move to the power station to create this data success order

02:06Now, the power station is being used as a personal data protection order

02:11In 2010

02:14So the move that is being made in the parliament now

02:18To the power station is aimed at how we can strengthen data security

02:25But not to the extent of moving forward so that the power station can be a data success order

02:31But that is what I want to do in the future

02:35I hope in March, if not, maybe in the middle of next year

02:38But this is in the process now
