DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA
Abstract
This paper will discuss the changes in technology, the benefits of technology to the Malaysian and Indonesian communities, the challenges faced in embracing technology and how the two countries overcome the challenges. The rapid proliferation of ICT within the sphere of rural development is evident both locally and globally. In line with national aspirations, the government has proactively addressed the challenges posed by ICT through a comprehensive program. In Malaysia, this initiative involved the establishment of telecentres within rural communities, thereby introducing the digital realm to these settings. This technological advancement provided access to online facilities, a broader global perspective, and improved learning opportunities for the rural population. The ultimate objective was to bridge the digital divide that separates rural and urban communities, promoting inclusivity and equitable access to technology. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, proactive measures have been taken by fostering inclusive digital transformation through promoting universal digital readiness and implementing free Wi-Fi areas in numerous public spaces. Both countries have successfully outlined a roadmap and outcomes of cultivating a "digital society" to face the upcoming challenges of IR5.0.
