Shadan said MBMB hoped to win the Developing Smart City Award after being named the recipient of the Smart City Early Adopter Award through the Malaysia Smart City Rating programme recently.

It was one of the highest achievements by MBMB, he said, adding that the council will ensure that the criteria required in the programme are expanded by creating various initiatives that apply ICT and innovation in services provided in areas under the MBMB's jurisdiction.

The rating of the programme which was introduced through PLANMalaysia is part of the implementation of the Malaysia Smart City Framework 2019-2025 to recognise the role of local authorities in implementing the Smart City initiative based on indicators in Malaysia Standard (MS) ISO 37122:2019.
