00:00Most of the time, we proceed on the assumption that governments already have all the building blocks in place.
00:06So when we meet the industry, and the industry says to us that there's a solution that can work to solve a particular problem,
00:11we work on the assumption that governments already have the infrastructure in place to adopt the technology.
00:17That's where the problem is.
00:19We have to be honest enough to acknowledge that there's a lot that we need to do.
00:23There's a lot of data that needs to be digitized.
00:25We have to decide how it is we're going to share data.
00:28We have to decide how it is at the end of the day, you can look at integration so that solutions can apply across the board.
00:35Now, this is where governments come in.
00:37And for that purpose, you really need to set up an institution that will look at data, how data is used, how it is shared.
00:44And of course, more importantly, identify priority areas that need to be dealt with.
00:50Because data is everywhere, and governments have huge banks of data.
00:55You don't want to boil the whole ocean.
00:56You want to make sure that you focus on areas where data can help, particularly in terms of building smart cities.
01:02And this is where, as I said earlier, if you are able to look at next-gen technology, you use digital twins, for example, you operate in a different way.
01:10You're very focused on what you want to achieve.
01:12You give yourself a time frame.
01:13You have a data commission, which we are trying to build in Malaysia here, which will then define what needs to be done so that you can actually build these smart cities in that time.
