Kuala Lumpur: The public is urged to make full use of National Information Dissemination Centres (NADI) to enhance their living standards and empower their skills through various programmes and training offered at these centres. Member of Parliament for Bandar Tun Razak, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, highlighted that with free membership registration, NADI provides opportunities for community involvement in entrepreneurship, employment, or self-development through the rapid advancement of technology.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Dr Wan Azizah noted that with the knowledge and guidance from NADI instructors, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs have the chance to expand their businesses through e-commerce platforms like Shopee. This initiative aims to enable them to reach a wider market, both domestically and internationally. She made these remarks while inaugurating the NADI Desa Tun Razak in her constituency, an event also attended by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din.
Dr Wan Azizah further emphasized that NADI provides a pathway for lifelong learning, allowing adults and young people to acquire skills relevant to technological developments, such as technology workshops and digital learning courses. She highlighted that NADI’s programmes not only focus on using technology but also on cybersecurity, helping individuals protect their personal data and avoid online scams.
Additionally, she described NADI as an important channel for delivering accurate and up-to-date information about government initiatives, ensuring that the public can clearly understand the policies and opportunities available to them.
Meanwhile, MCMC announced in a statement that NADI Desa Tun Razak is one of three new centres that began operations on September 17, increasing the total number of NADI centres in Kuala Lumpur to 24. NADI not only provides internet access but also aims to empower the community through five key pillars of the Smart Services initiative introduced in July 2024: Entrepreneurship, Lifelong Learning, Self-Wellbeing, Awareness, and Government Initiatives.
The Smart Services Initiative seeks to ensure that every programme conducted meets the community’s needs more comprehensively, thus having a significant impact on improving quality of life and driving societal progress.
