KUALA LUMPUR: Cyber security is often neglected and not given enough consideration despite Malaysia’s ongoing efforts in digital transformation, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said to embrace a secure digital future, it is crucial to foster a culture of cyber security and "cyber hygiene" across the nation as well as to establish and maintain secure systems, applications and infrastructure.
