Malaysia, S Korea to explore educational content development

19.02.2009
Malaysian government agency Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) has said its South Korean counterpart--Korean Dream Consortium (KDC) companies--wants to explore joint education content development.

Speaking at the MDeC-Korea Institute for Electronic Commerce (KIEC) workshop in Malaysia, MDeC's chief executive officer Dato' Badlisham Ghazali said that South Korea's interest in MSC (Multimedia Supercorridor) Malaysia Smart School's content development marked a significant milestone in the collaborative efforts between the two countries.

"It aims to involve the importance of working out a winning formula for both parties by examining the unique strength and capacity of the Korean Dream Consortium (KDC) companies and the MSC Malaysia status companies," said Badlisham.

The MDeC--KIEC programme was born out of the signing of memorandums of understanding (MOU) that was developed between MDeC and KIEC during the World Congress in IT (WCIT) that was held in Kuala Lumpur last year.
