Data Overview
“It is time to stop debating whether the [i]nternet is an effective tool for political expression, and to move on to the much more urgent question of how digital technology can be structured, governed, and used to maximize the good it can do in the world and minimize the evil.”
Rebecca Mackinnon (2012)

As we transition to a digital-first communication and continue building our knowledge hub, publications released before October 2025 are preserved in their original format. Publications released from October 2025 onward adopt a new, digitally friendly format for easier online reading. The official versions of earlier publications, including their original language and formatting, remain available in the downloadable PDF.
This book is a compilation of KRI's revised published papers on digital policies issues from September 2020 to April 2021. Its eight chapters delve into pressing issues surrounding digital transformation, including digital inclusion, mobile broadband quality, platform workers, digitalisation among firms, data access and privacy, misinformation and artificial intelligence.

The book makes it clear that digital transformation is an all-of-society process that needs to include social well-being and human rights as well as economic development and growth. Having a digital society mindset involves thinking about development and design not just for efficiency but also for inclusivity. This society-first policy framework recognises that the challenges facing a digital society are not to be solved with just technical solutions but also with social solutions. Thus, inclusive and future-proof public policies are key to Malaysia’s digital transformation.
