KUALA LUMPUR: The Communications and Multimedia Ministry is working with the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) to establish a new Digital Content Ecosystem (Dice) Policy. Its minister Gobind Singh Deo said the ministry aims to realise this by the end of the year.

“In order to accelerate the growth of this industry, my ministry is leading the work towards the policy to further support and strengthen Malaysia’s regional leadership in digital content where our ambition is to firmly establish the country as the regional hub for a digital content ecosystem that is conducive, inclusive and globally competitive.

“Actually, we are ready but we have to formalise certain things. So, hopefully, the establishment of the Dice Policy can be seen by the end of this year … but, if we can do it early, we will do so,” he told reporters at the announcement of the fifth edition of the LEVEL UP KL 2019 event here. The event, to be held from Nov 6 to 10, is an annual Southeast Asian game festival which will bring together the local, regional and international community of games developers, publishers and technology providers to gather, learn and share the latest information of content development technologies and business trends in the industry. – Bernama
