Digi will work closely with Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in coming
up with similar workshops for its Pi1M communities
with the aim of having them at least once a quarter.
Each workshop session is designed to have a maximum
of 35 participants including managers of the respective
Pi1M centres to encourage interaction as well as to effectively address all topics.
Mohd Hairulnizam Ismail, an F&B business owner
from Lundu, Sarawak, said the workshop session had
benefited him and his business in many ways. “As a
consumer, I’ve experienced purchasing airplane tickets from Air Asia’s online portal, but I still needed the
knowledge on how to bring my business onto the online
platform. By attending this workshop, I’ve learned a lot
on how to track my website’s popularity using Google
tools. Besides that, I have also learned how to use domain tracking tools on my website through Google Webmaster.”
Maszni Abdul Aziz, owner of Sparkle Beads Enterprise in Melaka, said the workshop was an eye opener
especially for people like her who are not fully exposed
to the potential of the internet. “I have not been exposed
very much to the internet, and I have never bought
anything online before. My objective of coming to this
workshop is to explore, and learn about what the internet has to offer. After the session with Zalora, I’m very
happy because I’ve learned a lot about the possibilities
that the internet can offer for expanding my business.
My dream is to bring my business up to a global scale,
and with the internet, I’m confident that I will be able to
achieve that dream.”
The training started with Google Malaysia and its
premium partner – Kasatria, who shared multiple insights on Google application, useful tips and trends.
The participants were then hosted by theStar, who introduced them to iBilik, a homestay proposition; Pos
Malaysia who shared information on PostMe, their online marketplace as well as their comprehensive service
offerings; and Zalora who shared their experience in
online business. MMSC Ventures also shared exciting
