ZTE Corporation and Multimedia University (MMU) have jointly introduced a new initiative named "Navigating the Digital Frontier for Smart Government." This program, supported by the Public Service Department of Malaysia, aims to enhance skills essential for thriving in today's digital era through specialized industry attachments.
The program consists of two phases. The initial phase involves an intensive one-month preparation session at MMU. This segment includes rigorous coursework and practical exercises concentrated on AI, digital transformation, and cybersecurity. It aims to build a strong groundwork in digital technologies and their practical use in governance.

After completing the preparatory phase, participants will undertake a transformative five-month industry attachment in China, led by experts from ZTE and MMU. This segment will feature workshops, case studies, and field visits that highlight advanced digital innovations including AI, smart city projects, and cybersecurity.
Prof. Dato' Dr. Mazliham Mohd Su'ud, President of Multimedia University, expressed his appreciation for the collaboration on this program, highlighting its alignment with the prime minister's vision to invest in "local talent development for specialized overseas courses." He emphasized the initiative's core focus, which includes providing "hands-on experience and knowledge-sharing opportunities with leading technology firms in China," rather than relying on consultant agencies, which typically require significant financial investment.
