On 30 June 2024, the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) launched the Sarawak Digital and Connectivity Day at the picturesque Kuching Waterfront. This landmark event showcased the state’s commitment to digital innovation and connectivity and highlighted the strides it is making toward a digitally inclusive future.

Celebrating Digital Innovations

The event served as a platform for various participating agencies to present their digital initiatives through engaging talks and demonstrations. The centrepiece was the introduction of the MySDEC application, which has been operational since August 2023. Designed exclusively for Sarawak Rural Broadband Network (MySRBN) users, MySDEC is a comprehensive lifestyle app offering features like account management, real-time updates, and digital services, including Sarawak Pay Global and online banking. This app epitomises SDEC’s dedication to bridging the digital divide and enhancing rural connectivity.

A new home prepaid package for MySRBN was also unveiled. Minister for Utility and Telecommunication Sarawak, Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi, emphasised the significance of this enhanced service in providing high-speed Internet access to rural areas.

“The prepaid package is preloaded with 300MB of free data every month while the home device for the service will be provided for free. The usage of MySRBN is based on users’ needs. With 300MB of data, it is enough for basic communication such as WhatsApp text messages or voice calls,” he stated.

Once users exceed the free 300MB, they can continue enjoying the service at an affordable rate: RM5 per week for 200GB of data or RM20 per month for 1TB of data. This pricing, significantly subsidised by SDEC, reflects a commitment to making high-speed Internet accessible. Dato Sri Julaihi also announced free router and antenna installation for approved applicants, further enhancing the service’s appeal.

This ambitious project is set to transform Sarawak’s digital landscape and bridge the gap between urban and rural connectivity.
