00:00Leading the way, bringing 5G advanced technology to Malaysia.
00:05Congratulations once again.
00:09Having achieved the target of 80% by the end of 2023,
00:14BNB is now introducing a new paradigm of 5G connectivity,
00:19bringing significant enhancement to network performance,
00:24sustainability and intelligence.
00:27And this is called 5G advanced.
00:305G advanced builds upon the existing 5G infrastructure
00:35to offer enhanced capabilities and performance.
00:39The technology aims to deliver even higher data transfer speeds.
00:445G advanced promises better network reliability and reduced latency,
00:50which is absolutely crucial for applications requiring real-time responses.
00:57It will empower more demanding applications,
01:00including extended reality, augmented reality and virtual reality,
01:08and high-definition video streaming.
01:11What is important for us to understand is that
01:14whilst we speak about technology, whilst we speak about connectivity,
01:19it is important for us to ensure that there is delivery.
01:24Recently, ladies and gentlemen, as I said earlier in my opening,
01:28we launched the National AI Office.
01:32The National AI Office is looking at key areas,
01:36such as transport, health, agriculture,
01:41the SMEs and MSMEs, and of course, government digital services.
01:47These are five areas that we are looking at to work on this year.
01:52Of course, when my office says they want to work on it for one year,
01:55I say there is no such thing.
01:56In three months, I expect us to get into this
01:59and to see how we can isolate problems in those sectors
02:02and find solutions that deal with those problems using AI.
02:07This is important because if we are going to understand the impact of what we see today,
02:12we need to understand where we are with technology
02:15and of course, the government policy in terms of how we are going to deal with these challenges.
02:22It is not easy.
02:23We can speak about 4G, we can speak about 5G,
02:26we can speak about technology that develops after that.
02:30But the question is, how are we doing in terms of implementation?
02:34Dato' Azman, earlier you said, and I think I echo this,
02:38there is a lot more work to be done and we need to move a lot faster.
02:42We've got Anwar from MDAC here.
02:44I've emphasised this many, many times.
02:46And I think today we are in the company of individuals who understand this message.
02:52We need to start delivering in terms of solutions that deal with the problems in all sectors.
03:00I've also said in my speech earlier, if I may speak in English,
03:03the National AI Office is up and running.
03:06We have now, in the first quarter, focused on five different areas.
03:10We are focused on the transport, we are focused on the health sector,
03:14we are focused on agri-tech, we are focused on the SMEs and MSMEs,
03:19and also government digital services.
03:21What we want to do is, of course, we are working with all the ministries
03:24to look at what the problems are.
03:25We are creating centres of excellence in the ministries itself
03:28that are run by officials from the ministries,
03:30head by the minister themselves,
03:33so that we can together look at problems that these sectors have
03:37and how we can provide more AI solutions to these sectors moving ahead.
03:41So I think the technology that we see today is going to be very significant
03:44in helping us insofar as looking towards problems in those sectors are concerned
03:49and how at least we can develop solutions to those problems moving ahead.
03:53So the timing is perfect.
03:55Whilst we are up and running, the National AI Office,
03:58we are looking towards delivering solutions to problems in those sectors.
04:03We see technology like this developing,
04:05which will assist us in terms of giving us a lot more help
04:10in deciding how we should design systems that provide solutions to those problems,
04:14and of course at a much faster pace as well.
04:17So overall, that is what we see today.
