Consider This: Digital Resilience — Can Malaysia Withstand a Digital Crisis?
Malaysia is increasingly becoming more digital, everything from banking and healthcare, to government services and logistics. But much of the infrastructure supporting that digital economy extends beyond our borders.

And can we remain connected to the global digital infrastructure without becoming dangerously dependent on it? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Jun-E Tan, Senior Research Associate at Khazanah Research Institute, and Farlina Said, Director of Cyber and Technology Policy programme at ISIS Malaysia.
