Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo said this is because the digital era offered greater opportunities not just in the field of communications but also economics which could change the lifestyle of the people.
“I ask that all youths work with the government in building the future of our country.
“With the development of existing technology and the borderless digital world, our country is capable of becoming an economic leader in this region, especially as we are made up of people who are multi-lingual and strong in our understanding of mutual-respect for different religions and cultures,” he said.
