**Calls for Stronger Local Interconnection to Maximise Digital Investments**
Upgraded infrastructure will boost data sovereignty, lower costs, and support Malaysia’s rise as a regional digital hub.
The Malaysia Internet Exchange (MyIX) has welcomed the Madani Budget 2026 as a decisive step towards strengthening Malaysia’s digital backbone. The government’s focus on submarine cable infrastructure, nationwide connectivity, 5G expansion, artificial intelligence, and digital inclusion are seen as critical enablers of the nation’s future.
MyIX Chairman Chiew Kok Hin highlighted that the government’s commitment of more than US$880 million (RM4 billion) in digital infrastructure investments demonstrates Malaysia’s readiness to compete as a regional digital hub. However, he emphasized that global investments must be matched by resilient domestic interconnection.
> “As digital highways such as submarine cables, AI clouds, and 5G networks are being built, the true benefits only reach the rakyat when traffic flows locally and securely. At MyIX, our role is to anchor these capacities so that every Malaysian enjoys lower costs, smoother streaming, faster cloud access, and assured data sovereignty,” Chiew said.
The Budget allocates US$440 million (RM2 billion) for the Sambungan Kabel Dasar Laut Madani (SALAM) submarine cable, linking Johor, Sarawak, and Sabah. Additionally, another US$440 million (RM2 billion) is designated for a Sovereign AI Cloud, alongside continued 5G rollout, MyDigital ID adoption, and global investments from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services.
Chiew noted that Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are among MyIX’s global peering partners, supporting the exchange’s mission to enhance the speed, resilience, and affordability of Malaysia’s internet.
The measures outlined in Budget 2026 reflect strong foresight and position Malaysia as an emerging regional AI and digital hub. Chiew added:
> “The government’s commitment to submarine cables, AI infrastructure, and 5G rollout will unlock unprecedented capacity. At MyIX, our role is to ensure these investments translate into real benefits for Malaysians through efficient local traffic routing. This is how we strengthen digital sovereignty while enabling inclusive growth.”
He also highlighted the Budget’s focus on the development of Sabah and Sarawak, alongside initiatives such as GovTech digitalisation, MyDigital ID expansion, and tax incentives for AI and cybersecurity adoption. These steps will further broaden access to the digital economy nationwide.
> “By localising internet traffic, MyIX reduces reliance on foreign routing and ensures that connectivity gains are felt across the nation—from rural areas to urban centres in the Klang Valley. As Malaysia builds towards AI Nation 2030, low-latency interconnection will be the invisible layer powering AI, 5G, and cloud adoption for government, businesses, and the rakyat alike,” Chiew explained.
Currently, MyIX operates across Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya, Johor Bahru, and Kuching, serving as key interconnection points for seamless traffic exchange. The exchange continues to deliver significant cost reductions, foreign exchange savings, and faster local internet speeds, while enhancing national resilience and efficiency.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which was instrumental in MyIX’s formation in 2006, remains actively engaged in the exchange’s ongoing development.

**You can now withdraw your entire PF balance anytime**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 13, 2025, 07:55 pm*
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has taken a significant step to enhance the ease of living for its members. In a major decision, the EPFO’s Central Board of Trustees (CBT) has approved allowing members to withdraw up to 100% of their eligible Provident Fund (PF) balance. This withdrawal includes both the employee and employer contributions.
### Key Decision Announced at 238th CBT Meeting
The decision was made during the 238th meeting of the CBT held in New Delhi, chaired by Union Minister for Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya. This move is set to bring greater flexibility and convenience for EPFO members in managing their PF accounts.
### Major Changes in PF Withdrawal Rules
Previously, full withdrawal from the PF account was only permitted in cases of unemployment or retirement. Under the new liberalized rules, members can now access their entire eligible PF balance, subject to certain conditions and specific categories.
In addition to this, the CBT has simplified the existing partial withdrawal provisions. Earlier, there were 13 complex rules governing partial withdrawals, which have now been consolidated into a single, streamlined rule divided into three categories:
– Essential needs (such as illness, education, and marriage)
– Housing needs
– Special circumstances
### Increased Flexibility for Education and Marriage Withdrawals
The new rules also increase the limits on withdrawals for education and marriage expenses. Withdrawals for education purposes can now be made up to 10 times, while those for marriage can be done up to 5 times.
Moreover, the minimum service requirement to be eligible for all partial withdrawals has been uniformly reduced to just 12 months. This is a significant relaxation compared to the previous norms, where members had to justify their withdrawal reasons under “Special Circumstances,” often resulting in claim rejections.
### Member Benefits: Minimum Balance and Auto-Settlement of Claims
To ensure members continue to benefit from the high interest rates offered by EPFO (currently 8.25% per annum), the CBT has introduced a new rule requiring a ‘Minimum Balance’ of 25% of contributions to be maintained in the PF account at all times. This provision helps preserve the compounding benefits and aids in building a substantial retirement corpus.
The board has also announced a move towards greater automation, eliminating the need for any documentation for partial withdrawal claims. This paves the way for 100% auto settlement of claims, making the process faster and hassle-free for members.

This landmark decision by the EPFO is expected to bring greater financial flexibility to millions of PF members across India, enabling them to access their funds effortlessly when needed.
