Tengku Zafrul said that a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today showed the government's commitment to strengthening the country’s economic resilience.

In a separate post, Anwar said Malaysia needs to accelerate the exploration and application of artificial intelligence (AI) by encouraging innovation and adopting a cross-ministry and agency comprehensively.

He said this was among the issues discussed in the meeting he chaired today, regarding the AI Technology Strategy and digital assets, which have the potential to foster more sustainable economic growth for the country.
