Malaysia’s digital services company MY E.G. Services Berhad (MYEG) has signed an agreement with Guangxi Beitou IT Innovation Technology Investment Group to jointly set up the Malaysia-China AI Innovation and Cooperation Center as the flagship China-ASEAN AI lab toward realizing the vision of the governments of Malaysia and China to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI).

MYEG said in a statement on Thursday that in conjunction with the signing of a government-to-government memorandum of understanding between the governments of China and Malaysia on AI development, MYEG and Beitou IT Innovation, a wholly-owned state-owned enterprise of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Government, have been selected to jointly establish a one-of-a-kind G2G lab that brings together leading AI companies from China and ASEAN to jointly develop localized AI products and to power cross-border applications.

Spearheaded by MYEG, the AI lab will also see the participation of leaders in their respective fields such as China’s Deepseek, robotics and drone companies DJI and Leju Robot, Huawei Technologies as well as Malaysian IT services provider Heitech Padu Berhad, among others.

Located at Zetrix Tower (formerly MYEG Tower) in Petaling Jaya, the AI lab will focus on the convergence of blockchain, generative AI and robotics technologies with emphasis on cross-border applications and customization of AI services according to local culture and values.

The first service to be introduced will be the mutual recognition of national Digital IDs from Malaysia and China starting with Guangxi province.

This service enables citizens from Malaysia to use their MyDigital ID for various identity verification requirements in Guangxi Province, especially for KYC requirements at financial institutions and various tourist attractions.

At the same time, the digital ID of Chinese nationals will be similarly accepted for identity verification in Malaysia.

In providing impetus toward the success of this joint effort, the Guangxi provincial government has allocated a sum of RMB 10 billion ($1.37 billion) through an investment fund to seed the development of such projects under the China-ASEAN program.

“As the leading digital technology group in Guangxi, we are proud to act as the bridge connecting China AI resources such as open source large language models (LLMs), AI applications and AI talents, and et cetera, with AI use cases across public private sectors, industries and academics in Malaysia and ASEAN,

“Working closely with our China and Malaysia partners, we are confident of increasing the overall productivities of Malaysia and ASEAN by leveraging the power of AI,” said Beitou IT Innovation Group Chairman Lai Shuiping.

Meanwhile, MYEG Group Managing Director TS Wong, said the firm is honored to be selected by both countries to lead this important initiative.

“Blockchain, robotics and AI technologies are converging to provide the next wave of services and we are well positioned to offer state of the art next generation products,

“We look forward to expanding this partnership to other ASEAN countries,” he added.

It is noted that MYEG has forged exclusive partnerships with major Chinese government agencies and related entities, including China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC), positioning Zetrix, its public layer-1 blockchain network, as the preferred platform for the adoption of game-changing real-world Web3 and AI applications capable of revolutionizing cross-border transactions.
