I'm really proud to be a Malaysian. Our Prime Minister is really an incredible man.AUSTIN, Texas, May 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will host the world's first public-private sector centre against cyber-terrorism, to be called "International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber-Terrorism" or "Impact", Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said here Friday.
Malaysia hoped to create a pioneer platform to allow governments of the world to exchange notes and ideas, as well as to facilitate the sharing of skills and best practices, with the ultimate objective of combating these constantly evolving threats, the Malaysian Prime Minister said in his keynote address at the closing of the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) 2006.
He emphasised that Impact was not just a Malaysian concern, but was conceived as a partnership between governments as well as between governments of the world and the international private sector.
The world's leading names such as America's Symantec Corporation, Japan's Trend Micro, and Russia's Kapersky Lab have agreed to be key partners and to serve on Impact's International Advisory Board to be established soon.
