KUALA LUMPUR, 14 October 2025 – MM Computer Systems Berhad (MMCS), together with its subsidiaries Micro Technology Solution Sdn Bhd (MTS) and SMIND Sdn Bhd (SMIND), has expressed strong alignment between Malaysia’s Budget 2026 and its core capabilities in IT infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, and IT outsourcing.
Malaysia’s largest-ever budget of RM470 billion highlights the Government’s priorities in artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, SME digitalisation, and education technology — all areas where MMCS already holds strong operational expertise and market presence.
AI and Cybersecurity Development
Budget 2026 introduces a 50% additional tax deduction for SMEs on AI and cybersecurity training approved by the MyMahir National Council for Industry (NAICI), and an RM18 million allocation to strengthen the National Artificial Intelligence Office (NAIO). These initiatives align with MMCS’ expansion of AI-ready infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions, backed by global partnerships with Dell Technologies and Trend Micro.
Cybersecurity Strengthening and Digital Sovereignty
The Budget reinforces Malaysia’s cybersecurity framework through support for the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), an RM30 million allocation to CyberSecurity Malaysia, and the creation of the Cyber Security and Cryptology Development Centre (CSCDC) to advance cryptographic and post-quantum technologies. MMCS views these moves as opportunities to collaborate with government and private sector entities to enhance Malaysia’s digital defence ecosystem.
Accelerating SME Digitalisation
To help SMEs embrace digitalisation, Budget 2026 allocates RM400 million to the SME Technology Transformation Fund, RM300 million to the Technology Adoption Fund (TECHAD) under SME Bank, and RM50 million for the SME Digital Matching Grant via Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN). MMCS is well positioned to support these initiatives through its end-to-end IT infrastructure and outsourcing expertise, enabling automation and operational modernisation.
Digitalising Higher Education
A total of RM401 million has been allocated to enhance cloud computing and network infrastructure across public universities, polytechnics and community colleges. This includes RM75 million for the Malaysia Research and Education Network (MYREN) and RM84.6 million for the Digital First Higher Education initiative to promote cloud adoption, digital learning, and campus modernisation. MMCS plans to leverage its experience in campus digitalisation projects to contribute to this nationwide effort.
Collectively, these measures offer strong revenue and growth potential for MMCS as it aligns with Malaysia’s digital economy agenda. The Group intends to harness these policy-driven opportunities as part of its growth strategy, following the submission of its draft prospectus to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad for a proposed listing on the ACE Market.
