  "summary": "Malaysia's artificial intelligence (AI) agenda should shift beyond data centre construction towards enterprise adoption, domestic intellectual property, cybersecurity, and workforce productivity, according to MBSB Investment Bank Bhd (MBSB IB). The bank also emphasizes the need for supply-side efficiency by broadening the tax base, closing leakages, expanding consumption excises, introducing carbon pricing, rationalising spending, and attracting private investment. MBSB IB highlights the importance of policy certainty, transparent project implementation, outcome-based incentives, and measures that channel long-term savings into productive investment. A multi-year project pipeline with disclosed project values, tender timing, funding sources, and execution milestones is recommended for improved planning and reduced speculative market movements.",
