From Paper to Platform: The Digital Future of Malaysia's Government

The Digital Leadership Excellence Programme (DLE) is an innovative collaboration developed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Huawei Malaysia that emphasizes leadership, innovation, and sustainable growth in the digital era.

Designed to serve as a springboard for Malaysia’s digital advancement, programme participants derive from the key sectors that drive national digital transformation forward: the government, academia, and industry.

As was the case with the 2024 programme, 2025 saw DLE participants visit Huawei's HQ in China's Shenzhen, giving Huawei Blog the chance to interview some of Malaysia's leading industry experts, government delegates, and academics.
