Teo Nie Ching: RM300m smart city project to transform Kota Kinabalu by 2028

The Kota Kinabalu Smart City Project, worth approximately RM300 million, is set to transform the Malaysian city into a smart city by 2028. The project, initiated on August 6, is a collaboration between the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK), utilizing Universal Service Provision (USP) funds.

It involves developing fibre-optic and public Wi-Fi networks, installing 822 smart poles and multi-purpose poles, and establishing a Network Operations Command Centre (NOCC) within the former Kota Kinabalu Magistrates’ Court building. The NOCC will house a data centre with a capacity of 120 kW, supporting real-time monitoring for improved urban management, public safety, and service delivery.

The project also includes public Wi-Fi facilities to boost digital connectivity and economic opportunities. The MCMC will cover operating costs for five years after the two-year development period before transferring the facility to DBKK.

How I keep feedback pins on the right element when a website changes

  • Developed tool for clients to leave feedback on specific website elements.
  • Stored element's unique identifier, like ID or test attributes, to track pin.

SSH Connection Reset by Peer: Trace the Failure Before Changing Config

An SSH connection that resets is different from one that is refused or simply times out. The TCP connection may have started successfully, only for the server—or something between you and it—to…

  • Connection resets by peer occur before password/key prompt
  • Verify TCP port reachability with tools like nc or Test-NetConnection
