Malaysia Must Move Fast On Drone Industry Technologies – PM Anwar

SEPANG, June 27 -- Malaysia must accelerate its adoption and development of new technologies, particularly in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or drone industry, to bolster its global economic standing, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said the drone industry, which intersects with artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, has emerged as a powerful catalyst for innovation, productivity and economic growth. "If Malaysia wants to become a more successful country in terms of its economy, it must be fast in developing new technologies and fields. “Drones are related to digital technology and AI, and we need to build an ecosystem that is suitable and reasonable for them," he said at the MyDrone Expo 2026 (MDX2026) closing ceremony here today. Co-organised by the World UAV Federation (WUAVF) Malaysia Chapter and the Malaysia UAV Development Association (MUDA), the three-day expo surpassed expectations by featuring more than 100 exhibition booths and attracting thousands of visitors and industry delegates from 46 countries. Anwar pointed out that the global UAV market is projected to exceed USD55 billion by 2030, while the low-altitude economy is becoming an increasingly important driver of investment. To seize these opportunities, Anwar has directed Cabinet ministers, policymakers, science research establishments and all related agencies to extend full regulatory and ecosystem support to the industry. "The policy is clear. Drones and the related industry are given full support, not only for the air force and defence industry but also for civil activities, such as plantations, to enhance productivity," he added. To further drive the industry, Anwar said the government is committed to improving the regulatory framework, enhancing research funding, testing and certification. He also urged closer collaboration between private players, government research establishments and universities to build a robust talent pipeline, similar to existing faculties in AI and quantum computing. -- BERNAMA

KUANTAN, May 28 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has donated a sacrificial cow to media practitioners in Pahang for this year’s Aidiladha celebration, in recognition of the role journalists play in connecting the government and the people. The donation, made for the first time, was received by Pahang Press, which organised the qurban programme at Kampung Anak Air here with the assistance of about 40 members of the Tok Peramu Qurban Squad. Pahang Press chairman Fazli Ahmad said the initiative enabled the distribution of sacrificial meat to journalists and photographers from various print and electronic media organisations, as well as residents of Kampung Anak Air. “Pahang Press would like to express its deepest appreciation to the Prime Minister for donating a cow for the ritual sacrifice, with the meat distributed to media personnel. “For media practitioners in Pahang, this gesture carries special meaning as it reflects recognition of our role in delivering information and serving as a bridge between the government and the people,” he told reporters here today. He said the programme also served as a platform to foster cooperation among media practitioners through gotong-royong activities, including giving some participants their first experience in preparing sacrificial meat. “This is a different experience because we not only received sacrificial meat, but also strengthened ties through the spirit of cooperation. Most importantly, it reflects the Prime Minister’s appreciation for the role of media personnel in Pahang,” he said. -- BERNAMA
