The collaboration reflects a shared vision of leveraging technology to drive Sarawak’s economic transformation.
SHAH ALAM — Malaysia's leading enterprise mobility solutions provider, Complete Human Network (CHN), has entered a strategic partnership with the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC), where the signing of their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) marks a significant leap in fostering digital growth within Sarawak, in line with the Sarawak government's plan to become a global innovation hub by 2030.
The MoU was formalised in a ceremony attended by CHN founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Teh Chai Peng and SDEC chief Malseni Jamal.
The collaboration reflects a shared vision of leveraging technology to drive Sarawak’s economic transformation, with a particular focus on establishing specialised tech development, cultivating local tech talent, and supporting sustainable digital initiatives. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development, the centre aims to bridge the skills gap and prepare the Sarawakian workforce for the evolving demands of the tech industry.
The centre would also offer comprehensive training programmes and resources tailored to address them. “Our partnership with SDEC represents a critical step in empowering Sarawak’s tech ecosystem.
“We are dedicated to harnessing our expertise in enterprise mobility to develop a robust tech development infrastructure that nurtures local talent and supports the region’s digital aspirations," Teh said.
In addition to talent development, the MoU also places high importance on community engagement and stakeholder collaboration.
Both CHN and SDEC will be working closely with local communities and relevant stakeholders to ensure the investment in tech development delivers tangible benefits. This includes facilitating educational partnerships and outreach programmes designed to inspire and engage local talent.
Through this collaborative approach, the aim is to foster a supportive environment where local businesses, educational institutions, and government bodies can work together to drive digital growth.
“Our partnership with CHN is a testament to our commitment to fostering an inclusive digital ecosystem in Sarawak. By engaging local stakeholders, we aim to create opportunities that drive economic growth and enhance the quality of life for our communities," said Malseni.

This includes the management of hardware services, the integration of software solutions through CHN’s Enterprise Mobility as a Service framework, and the deployment of the Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) Portal.
These efforts aim to equip stakeholders with access to the tools and technologies needed to drive digital transformation across various sectors.
The integration of advanced technical solutions would enable businesses and individuals to optimise their operations, reduce IT-related challenges, and focus on core activities.
By leveraging CHN’s expertise in Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions – where it offers bundled IT devices and software services on a subscription basis, enabling enterprises to optimise their IT budgets, minimise IT-related hassles, and focus on their core business operations.
In addition to enterprise mobility, the partnership aims to deliver innovative solutions that support Sarawak’s digital agenda.
Teh added: “This MoU signifies more than just a partnership; it represents a collective effort to shape the future of Sarawak’s digital landscape. We are excited to embark on this journey with SDEC and look forward to the positive impact this initiative will have on the region.”
