  • Nexpert Academy Tingkatkan Kepakaran Anak Muda Dalam AI Demi Masa Depan Digital Negara

    Nexpert Academy Tingkatkan Kepakaran Anak Muda Dalam AI Demi Masa Depan Digital Negara

    Sejak diperkenalkan pada Mac/April 2025, inisiatif pembiayaan pendidikan oleh Yayasan Peneraju telah menjadi pemangkin penting dalam memperluas penyertaan Bumiputera dalam sektor teknologi bernilai tinggi. Menjelang penutupannya pada Disember 2025, program ini telah memberi peluang kepada Bumiputera berusia 16 tahun ke atas daripada pelbagai latar belakang untuk mengikuti latihan profesional dalam bidang Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Cybersecurity, Networking dan Cloud Computing, iaitu bidang teras yang menggerakkan transformasi ekonomi digital negara.

    Walaupun inisiatif ini berada dalam fasa penutupan, permohonan bagi pengambilan terakhir masih dibuka. Nexperts Academy turut menyediakan elaun latihan kepada peserta yang layak di bawah program ini. Skim pembiayaan ini menawarkan mekanisme yang amat digalakkan peserta, termasuk 0% bayaran balik (Silver-tier) apabila syarat dipenuhi. Bagi kursus yang mempunyai peperiksaan, pembiayaan akan menjadi tanpa bayaran balik apabila peserta mencapai kehadiran yang ditetapkan dan lulus peperiksaan. Bagi kursus tanpa peperiksaan, pembiayaan bertukar kepada pembiayaan tanpa bayaran balik setelah peserta menamatkan keseluruhan kursus. Maklumat lengkap boleh dirujuk di laman rasmi Yayasan Peneraju.

    Sebagai salah satu penyedia latihan dilantik (ALTI), Nexperts Academy Sdn. Bhd. yang beroperasi di Petaling Jaya merupakan antara institusi yang menawarkan kursus berfokus industri di bawah inisiatif ini, selain universiti dan penyedia latihan lain. Peserta bebas memilih kursus dan penyedia latihan sebelum memohon pembiayaan melalui Yayasan Peneraju.

    Permintaan terhadap tenaga mahir dalam bidang Cloud Computing, Networking, AI, Keselamatan Siber dan analitik data semakin meningkat seiring perkembangan teknologi. Banyak syarikat melaporkan kewujudan kekosongan pekerjaan namun kekurangan bakat tempatan untuk mengisinya. Dalam masa sama, risiko serangan digital semakin meningkat, menjadikan sektor keselamatan siber berada pada tahap paling kritikal.

    Nexperts Academy turut melatih peserta dalam Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), kursus keselamatan siber terkemuka dunia yang diiktiraf EC-Council. Kursus ini memberi pendedahan kepada teknik serangan sebenar, membolehkan peserta berfikir seperti penggodam bagi mengukuhkan pertahanan organisasi. Keperluan ini semakin ketara selepas beberapa syarikat tempatan menjadi mangsa serangan ransomware, termasuk sebuah syarikat yang kehilangan data operasi sepenuhnya sebelum penyerang menuntut bayaran tebusan dalam bentuk mata wang kripto. Situasi ini mengukuhkan keperluan melahirkan lebih ramai profesional keselamatan siber Bumiputera yang bersistem, berkompeten dan bersedia menghadapi ancaman moden.

    Selain keselamatan siber, Network & Multicloud Bootcamp oleh Nexperts Academy merupakan antara kursus paling popular di bawah pembiayaan Yayasan Peneraju. Direka untuk peserta yang bermula dari sifar, bootcamp ini membolehkan mereka memperoleh tiga pensijilan antarabangsa: CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Cloud+ dan Microsoft Certified Azure Associate. Gabungan pensijilan ini membuka pelbagai laluan kerjaya termasuk IT Support, Network Engineer, Helpdesk Engineer serta potensi peningkatan ke peranan lebih tinggi seperti Cloud Engineer, Network Engineer Level 2 atau System Administrator. Laluan pensijilan ini turut menjadi alternatif untuk individu tanpa diploma atau ijazah IT, menjadikannya pilihan utama peserta baharu dan mereka yang ingin beralih kerjaya.

    Pertumbuhan data dan penggunaan aplikasi moden menjadikan pusat data tradisional semakin mahal dan kompleks, mendorong lebih banyak organisasi beralih kepada cloud. Peralihan ini melonjakkan permintaan terhadap jurutera cloud terlatih dan menjadikan pensijilan berkaitan antara keperluan paling kritikal dalam transformasi digital negara.

    Sepanjang program, peserta didedahkan kepada latihan industri dan simulasi dunia sebenar untuk memastikan kesiapsiagaan memasuki pasaran kerja. Pendekatan ini bukan sahaja membina kemahiran teknikal, malah membuka peluang kerja fleksibel seperti freelancing dan konsultansi.

    Bootcamp AI & Machine Learning yang ditawarkan Nexperts Academy juga antara kursus paling tinggi permohonan. Peserta mempelajari teknik analisis data, automasi, pembangunan penyelesaian berskala kecil dan besar serta membina sistem yang mampu membuat keputusan berdasarkan input pengguna. Ramai peserta bukan IT mendapati kemahiran automasi meningkatkan prestasi kerja harian mereka dan memudahkan proses perniagaan. Misalnya, suri rumah yang ingin memulakan perniagaan kecil dapat menggunakan teknik analisis data untuk menilai trend pasaran dan mengenal pasti produk berpotensi tinggi.

    Pengarah Nexperts Academy, Nazreen Abdul Ghani, menegaskan prinsip “Kenapa jadi basic kalau boleh jadi premium?”, percaya bahawa pendedahan kepada teknologi mampu menjadikan individu lebih produktif, kreatif dan bernilai dalam pasaran kerja moden. Menurut beliau, ramai Bumiputera memiliki potensi besar tetapi kurang akses kepada pensijilan global. Inisiatif Yayasan Peneraju membuka pintu kepada rakyat untuk mendapatkan kemahiran yang kini menjadi keperluan kritikal industri. Pensijilan membuka laluan kepada kenaikan pangkat, tawaran kerja baharu dan gaji lebih tinggi, seterusnya mengubah taraf hidup peserta dan keluarga mereka.

    CEO Nexperts Academy, Vaheed, turut menegaskan kepentingan pembangunan bakat Bumiputera dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi digital negara. Beliau menekankan bahawa ekonomi digital Malaysia tidak dapat berkembang tanpa barisan bakat Bumiputera yang terlatih. Matlamat mereka ialah menjadikan peserta sebagai profesional bertauliah yang bersedia memasuki industri teknologi bernilai tinggi dan menyumbang kepada aspirasi Malaysia sebagai negara berkemampuan AI menjelang 2030.

    Sebagai penutup program selama lapan bulan ini, media dijemput bertemu peserta yang telah menamatkan latihan. Alumni berkongsi kisah kejayaan termasuk peralihan kerjaya ke sektor IT, peningkatan kemahiran teknikal dan tawaran kerja baharu, mencerminkan impak jelas inisiatif ini terhadap mobiliti sosial Bumiputera dan pembangunan modal insan negara.

    Permohonan bagi pengambilan terakhir masih dibuka sehingga 15 Disember 2025. Maklumat kursus Nexperts Academy boleh disemak di www.nexpertsgrants.com dan laman rasmi akademi di www.nexpertsacademy.com.

    UiTM Johor Strengthens Digital Future Through Huawei ICT Academy Launch

    Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) has taken another major step in advancing Malaysia’s digital education landscape through a new partnership with Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Johor. The collaboration marks the establishment of a Huawei ICT Academy at UiTM Johor, aimed at cultivating high-caliber and interdisciplinary talent equipped with digital and intelligent skills essential for the country’s technological transformation.

    The Huawei ICT Academy will harness Huawei’s global expertise and internationally recognised certification programmes across key areas such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing. This initiative will act as a catalyst for strengthening UiTM Johor’s digital talent ecosystem, providing students with real-world exposure to cutting-edge technologies that are shaping industries worldwide.

    The partnership was officially formalised through a Letter of Intent (LoI) signed during Huawei’s Intelligent World 2035 event held in Segamat, Johor. The event brought together students, academics and industry leaders in a series of seminars and workshops exploring the latest advancements and career opportunities in AI, cloud and 5G. It also highlighted how intelligent platforms are revolutionising various sectors, including healthcare, food, mobility, energy and digital trust.

    Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, who officiated the event, emphasised that Malaysia’s success in building an intelligent future will depend on strong collaboration between government, industry and academia. She noted that innovation must serve all layers of society, stressing the importance of digital literacy, equitable access to technology and the protection of privacy and trust. According to her, Malaysia must continue fostering homegrown innovation and talent to ensure technological independence and data sovereignty.

    Huawei’s Intelligent World 2035 vision paints a picture of a society where advanced connectivity, artificial intelligence and cloud computing become as fundamental and accessible as basic necessities. By 2035, breakthroughs in AI, next-generation networks like 5.5G and 6G, and intelligent platforms are expected to drive global transformation, reshaping industries and the way people live, work and connect.

    UiTM Johor’s Exercising Rector, Associate Professor Dr Saunah Zainon, stated that the partnership demonstrates UiTM’s commitment to developing skilled professionals who understand advanced technologies and are ready to lead the country toward an intelligent future. She highlighted that AI is a key driver of transformation in the era of Intelligent World 2035, and universities must remain proactive in creating learning environments that expose students to emerging innovations. Dr Saunah added that through the combined strength of Huawei’s global expertise and UiTM’s community network, this collaboration will not only benefit students and faculty but also the wider Johor community.

    Huawei Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Simon Sun, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to nurturing Malaysia’s digital talent pool. He shared that through the Huawei ICT Academy, thousands of students from 52 public and private higher education institutions in Malaysia have already been trained in the latest technologies. The academy serves as a bridge between academia and industry, helping to align educational outcomes with the needs of the modern job market. Its mission is to equip students and educators with the skills, knowledge and exposure required to excel in the global digital economy.

    The Huawei ICT Academy offers professional training and internationally recognised certification in AI, Cloud Computing, Data Communication and 5G technologies. Malaysian students have consistently achieved outstanding results in the global Huawei ICT Competition, reflecting the nation’s growing presence in the international technology arena.

    To date, Huawei Malaysia has trained more than 54,000 individuals in digital skills, surpassing its original target of 50,000 by 2025. This achievement underscores Huawei’s strong commitment to empowering Malaysia’s digital workforce and fostering a sustainable, innovation-driven future for the nation.

  • Samsung Brings Sleep Apnea Detection to Malaysia with Galaxy Watch Series

    Samsung Brings Sleep Apnea Detection to Malaysia with Galaxy Watch Series

    Samsung has officially announced the availability of its Sleep Apnea feature in Malaysia, now accessible through the Samsung Health Monitor app on the Galaxy Watch series. This innovative addition marks another step forward in Samsung’s mission to empower users with advanced health-tracking tools that contribute to overall well-being.

    The introduction of the Sleep Apnea feature in Malaysia follows the receipt of the Medical Device Registration Certificate from the Medical Device Authority (MDA), a certification that underscores Samsung’s compliance with the nation’s strict health, safety, and environmental protection standards. This recognition not only solidifies Samsung’s leadership in sleep technology but also reflects the company’s dedication to improving user health through scientific and medically approved innovations. In addition to Malaysia, the feature has also received approval from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration and Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority, further validating its global reliability and accuracy.

    This achievement builds upon Samsung’s earlier milestone when the company received De Novo authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was the first time a wearable device had been authorized to detect signs of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, positioning Samsung as a trailblazer in the field of wearable health technology. The feature has also gained approval from Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Brazil’s health regulatory agency ANVISA, and Health Canada, signifying its international acceptance and compliance with global medical standards.

    Sleep plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health, and Samsung continues to prioritize this aspect through its ecosystem of connected devices and digital wellness features. By introducing the Sleep Apnea function, Samsung enables users to identify potential symptoms of this common yet often undiagnosed condition early on. This early detection can help prevent more serious health complications linked to sleep apnea, such as cardiovascular issues and fatigue-related risks.

    Samsung’s approach to sleep health goes beyond simple monitoring. The company provides users with comprehensive insights into their sleep patterns, personalized coaching, and recommendations for optimizing their sleep environment. The addition of the Sleep Apnea feature further enhances this ecosystem, giving users a more complete understanding of their sleep quality and encouraging proactive steps toward better rest and overall health.

    In celebration of this milestone, Samsung is offering limited-time rebates and promotions on the Galaxy Watch Series until 31 October. Customers can enjoy up to 30% off selected watch bands and enhanced trade-in deals worth up to RM250. The promotion covers a wide range of models, including the Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra. Those who purchase the Galaxy Watch Ultra will also receive exclusive gifts such as a Galaxy SmartTag2 worth RM149, a 15W power adapter, and a 10,000mAh battery pack, adding even greater value to the purchase.

    The new Sleep Apnea feature reinforces Samsung’s commitment to delivering meaningful innovations that make a difference in people’s daily lives. By expanding access to this FDA-authorized technology, Samsung empowers users around the world to take control of their sleep health and make informed choices for a healthier future.
