Kuala Lumpur, 30 September 2025 – XOX today signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with MyDigital ID, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ministry of Finance (MOF), at the
opening of CYBERDSA 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. The MoU was witnessed by Tan Sri Asmat
Kamaludin, Chairman of Aerosea Exhibitions; Al-Ishsal Ishak, Chairman of the Board,
Cybersecurity Malaysia; and YB Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital Malaysia.
As one of the first telcos to formalise this partnership, XOX is taking a bold step to champion
the adoption of MyDigital ID through its flagship MySiswa program. The initiative will
integrate secure digital identities into higher education, empowering students, strengthening
campus engagement, and accelerating Malaysia’s digital future.
Through this collaboration, XOX will mobilise its nationwide youth network to accelerate the
adoption of MyDigital ID, while embedding real-world use cases across universities and
campuses. In addition, XOX will lead joint campaigns, roadshows and campus activations to
position MyDigital ID as the trusted enabler of Malaysia’s digital economy.
Datuk Kenneth Vun, Managing Director of XOX, said: “This partnership marks a bold new
chapter for XOX. By driving the adoption of MyDigital ID through MySiswa, we are equipping
students with secure identities that unlock trust, safety, and opportunity. This is about more
than technology; it’s about building a foundation for Malaysia’s digital generation.”
He continued: “Cyberspace today is filled with both opportunity and risk. While AI and digital
platforms empower progress, they are also exploited by criminals. The answer is not fear,
but trust. MyDigital ID provides that trust, protecting privacy, ensuring security, and opening
new possibilities for those who use it responsibly. XOX will push to the maximum on
MyDigital ID. This is our mission to build a trusted, inclusive, and forward-looking digital
ecosystem for Malaysia.”
The signing of this MoU reflects the shared vision of XOX and MyDigital ID to accelerate
digital transformation, empower youth, and position Malaysia as a trusted leader in the digital
age.
