The TM ONE hosted City LEAP Summit 2022 saw the congregation of local city and municipal councils eager to move forward in adopting the Smart City concept in their respective localities.
Held under the theme of ‘Solutions Built for Citizens’, the summit, focused on sustainability and improving the quality of life for citizens, which is TM ONE’s initiative to take Malaysia’s Smart City transformation forward by supporting the Ministry of Housing and Local Government’s (KPKT) aspirations for a “Liveable Malaysia”.
This year’s City LEAP Summit provided insights into best practices as well as use cases of effective planning and execution of a smart city with talks by Bapak Setiaji, Chief of Digital Transformation Office, Ministry of Health, the Republic of Indonesia who previously was the Head of Jakarta Smart City; and multi-award-winning Smart Cities and IoT industry expert, Dr. Mazlan Abbas, who is also co-founder and CEO of FAVORIOT Sdn. Bhd.
In welcoming the delegates, Ir. Ts. Azizi A. Hadi, Chief Operating Officer of TM, said: “The development of a planned, integrated and holistic smart city is both timely and important. It helps to ensure that Malaysia is always in line with the current global urban development. Urban development extends beyond just making the city smarter; we must also ensure that the city leverages technology innovatively and creatively to provide a more liveable Malaysia.”
He reiterated that with the existing assets of the TM Group, including the widest broadband network infrastructure, submarine cables, telecommunication towers, cloud computing, data centres, and cybersecurity, TM ONE is primed to provide world-class services and more effective solutions to local authorities. Besides that, with its services and solutions aligned with the objectives of the Malaysia Smart City Framework (MSCF), TM ONE is well-positioned to assist PBTs in achieving most of the Smart City standard indicators.
In his opening speech, Kamaruzaman Umar, Deputy Secretary-General of KPKT said: “The success of a smart city lies in its implementation and requires coordinated efforts across three layers within the government; namely federal, state and local governments. Nevertheless, the participation of the private sector and industry players are equally important in the smart city ecosystem.”
Commenting on the summit, Shazurawati Abd Karim, Executive Vice President of TM ONE said: “We are passionate and ready to co-create a more comprehensive suite of smart city solutions, providing the best services to the people, supporting the business community while achieving environmental sustainability.”
The event showcased some of the smart city solutions, including Smart Parking (SPARKS), Smart Street Light System (SLIMS), Smart Surveillance, Smart Water Management, Smart City Dashboard, Fleet Management System (FMS), and others.
