At the heart of MyDemokrasi.my is a collaboration fueled by technologists, innovators, academics, and civic society, led by Digitum Labs and financially supported by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

Digitum Labs earned the pilot through a launchpad program following a meticulous tender process orchestrated by Frontier Tech Hub. This included proposal submissions, interviews, and thorough background checks.

Our pilot aims to explore the transformative potential of technology in election processes and voter participation. The goal is to create a digital platform connecting voters with candidates, offering insights into their records, ambitions, and monitorable pledges.

Frontier Technologies Hub collaborates with UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) staff and global partners to explore innovative tech in the development context. They test and scale ideas to drive positive change.

Sustainability is a key focus during the pilot, shaping the idea’s development for the benefit of the target group. Decisions regarding funding for the next phase depend on the pilot’s outcomes and effectiveness.

No, neither Digitum Labs nor FCDO directly involves any political members. The collaboration centers on leveraging technology for democratic improvement without direct political involvement.

A panel of experts from Malaysia, including Prof. Datuk Dr. Jayum, Dr. Muhamad Sayuti Hassan, Dr. Siti Nurhanizahhafizah Boyman, and Dr. Nur Ayuni Mohd Isa, advises us on political dynamics.

Our data center, located in Malaysia with stringent privacy regulations, employs robust encryption, access controls, and a comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy.

MyDemokrasi employs a multi-layered security approach, fortifying the system with multiple layers of security walls to prevent and mitigate various cyber threats.

To ensure data sustainability, we follow protocols for regular backups, redundancy measures, and a long-term data management strategy to adapt to evolving technological landscapes.
