The accelerated adoption of digitisation has impacted the lives of Malaysians everywhere, with access to fast and reliable Internet services becoming a necessity in households, workplaces and learning institutions. This collaboration ensures educational equity and equal access to students from all parts of the country and we are pleased to support UC TATI in their transformation.”
"This collaboration will also be a catalyst for UC TATI in its digital transformation journey and is among the first steps for us to meet the IR 4.0 revolution. In addition to enhancing our research and development efforts into Big Data and other key technologies, this Internet service will enhance the university's operational efficiency, teaching and learning, and overall student experiences – especially for those who are resident on-campus. Working with TM One enables us to improve our capabilities and the quality of our services in these fields and to bring our institution into the next phase of its growth," explained Professor Dr. Anuar Bin Ahmad, Rector of UC TATI.

TM AND GOVT INTRODUCE NEXT-GEN 999 EMERGENCY SYSTEM
KUALA LUMPUR, 16 November 2025 – Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications, has made available the Next Generation Emergency Response Services 999 (NG MERS 999), representing a significant enhancement to the nation’s emergency communications infrastructure. This milestone follows the 2024 agreement between both parties, reinforcing their commitment to deliver smarter, faster and more inclusive emergency services across the country. A key highlight is the enhanced SaveME 999 mobile application, which now provides Malaysians, including people with special needs and assistance, with direct access to 999 operators through video, text, and multimedia-based distress alerts. This places Malaysia among the first in the world to operationalise nationwide inclusive digital emergency access at large scale. Members of the public may continue to call 999 as usual. The SaveME 999 app serves as an additional option, particularly for those who require accessible features. The NG MERS 999 is a fully digital, integrated platform that replaces the legacy MERS 999 system which is also developed and operated by TM. The upgraded system enhances operational efficiency, optimises resource deployment, and significantly improves response times across more than 800 locations nationwide. Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM’s Group Chief Executive Officer, said: “TM is proud to stand alongside the Ministry of Communications in delivering this vital national infrastructure that protects lives and strengthens our resilience. NG MERS 999 represents a leap forward in Malaysia’s digital transformation, harnessing AI and multi-channel communications to empower faster, smarter and more inclusive emergency response for all.” He added, “Inclusivity sits at the heart of NG MERS 999. The enhanced SaveME 999 and the Responder App put critical technologies directly in the hands of users and responders, enabling a faster and more optimised emergency response. This reflects TM’s commitment to building a more connected, secure and digitally resilient Malaysia on its journey to becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030” Malaysia is setting a new benchmark in emergency response with the adoption of Advanced Mobile Location (AML) for precise caller geolocation, a unified five-agency 999 platform, and strengthened digital accessibility for PwDs. These capabilities mirror, and in several areas exceed, implementations seen in advanced emergency systems internationally. Advanced Technology and Inclusivity Developed and operated by TM, the NG MERS 999 integrates AI-powered analytics, geolocation services, and secure sovereign cloud hosting to streamline emergency call management and enable real-time decision-making. Two key applications – SaveME 999 (for the public to send multimedia alerts with GPS data) and the Responder App (for real-time tracking and coordination among emergency agencies) – ensure faster response and improved outcomes in life-critical situations. Aligned with the NG112 framework and built to stringent ISO-certified benchmarks, NG MERS 999 reinforces Malaysia’s public safety infrastructure and readiness for the digital future. With NG MERS 999, every emergency call is now met with greater speed, accuracy, and care — reinforcing Malaysia’s position as a leader in digital public safety innovation.
