Her Royal Highness Tuanku Hajjah Haminah of Malaysia just got a glimpse of the country's Build Build Build infrastructure program as she received a copy of the book Night Owl during a courtesy call with an official of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
DICT Undersecretary Anna Mae Lamentillo, the book author herself, handed over a copy of the book to the Malaysian royalty during the latter's visit.
The Night Owl sheds light on the difficult challenges, critiques, and difficult decisions faced by the Build Build Build team and dives into the consequences subsequently. Moreover, it includes heartwarming stories of Filipinos whose lives have improved with the completion of roads, bridges, rail, flood control projects, airports, seaports, and classrooms, among others.
Prior to this, Lamentillo also met with Malaysian Ambassador Mohd Fareed Zakaria and Counsellor Nadhirah Zanudin to discuss possible areas of digital cooperation between the two nations, such as cybersecurity, E-governance, and smart towers.
The DICT is currently exploring partnerships with other nations to further cooperation, exchange of knowledge, technical expertise, and best practices on digitalization to pursue the Marcos Administration's Build Better More thrust, which aims to provide universal connectivity and improve government services through digitalization.
