  "summary": "Malaysia is transitioning from being a mere production base for digital content to a country that creates and owns intellectual property (IP), according to Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil. Speaking at the Building a Sustainable Ecosystem for the Digital Content Revolution session during the Borneo Animation & Games Festival (BAGFest) 2026, Fadzil stressed the importance of shifting focus from simply being a low-cost production hub to emphasizing excellence, quality, innovation, and local intellectual property with commercial value. The transition aims to ensure Malaysia remains competitive in the digital creative industry both regionally and globally.",
