SRKK: Corporate Malaysia Poised to Enter AI- Execution Era
KUALA LUMPUR, 16 October 2025 – Digital transformation specialist SRKK Group believes Corporate Malaysia is ready to move decisively into the Al-execution era, supported by Budget 2026 incentives, national policy frameworks, and the establishment of dedicated AI centres fostering collaboration and excellence.
SRKK, which has delivered digital transformation projects for government-linked companies (GLCs) and large corporations, reports a significant rise in enquiries and increasingly complex projects integrating AI capabilities.

SRKK Chief Executive Officer Yew Lip Sin (杨立新) said recent projects have evolved beyond document automation to include AI-integrated production workflows, data retrieval through natural language, and AI-driven demand forecasting.
“These solutions are now being implemented across large-scale manufacturing, logistics, and retail sectors. In each case, AI has improved internal efficiency and external scalability, helping companies thrive in a fast-evolving business landscape,” Yew said.
“We are optimistic that Budget 2026’s digital economy and AI strategies will accelerate adoption, propelling Malaysia from awareness to execution.”
Yew was speaking at TRANSFORM 2026, SRKK’s annual digital transformation conference, attended by over 800 participants and graced by Ministry of Digital Secretary-General Tuan Fabian Bigar as guest of honour.
Malaysia’s National Al Drive Gains Momentum
In his keynote address, Tuan Fabian Bigar said the Government’s recognition of AI as the “engine of transformation” underpins the establishment of the Malaysia National AI Office (NAIO) and the National AI Strategy Framework 2026–2030, which aim to drive high-impact innovation across sectors.
“Under the MyDigital Blueprint, our goal is to create 500,000 new high-skilled digital jobs and foster an ecosystem of 5,000 startups by 2050,” he said.
“Malaysia ranks 24th globally in the Oxford Insights Government AI Readiness Index 2024. What matters now is action, breaking down silos and working collaboratively across public and private sectors, academia and civil society to build a digital future.”
The Ministry of Digital estimates that AI could contribute US$115 billion (RM486 billion) in productive capacity to Malaysia by 2030. Key enablers include the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint 2021–2030, the National Guidelines on AI Governance and Ethics, and the enhanced role of NAIO.
Among the Budget 2026 measures to encourage AI adoption are a 50% additional tax deduction for SMEs undertaking AI and cybersecurity training accredited by the MyMahir National AI Council for Industry, jointly led by TalentCorp and MyDigital, and an RM1.8 million allocation for NAIO’s expanded mandate.
Strengthening AI Resilience and Security
Yew welcomed the Government’s balanced approach to fostering innovation while ensuring public trust.
“We commend the proactive yet responsible stance in promoting AI adoption through guidelines and governance frameworks,” he said. “SRKK will continue working with our partners, clients, and provide platforms such as TRANSFORM 2026 and MyCyberShield to help organisations integrate AI with confidence.”
Now in its fourth edition, TRANSFORM 2026 focused on cybersecurity resilience, featuring keynote sessions and panels on secure AI adoption, Malaysia’s AI and cybersecurity landscape, and future-proofing digital defences in the AI era.
