Track subtle changes in your body with Health Guardian features on Pixel and Fitbit

A new level of proactive health and wellness is coming to your wrist. Backed by rigorous clinical research, these new features track subtle physiological shifts and help you catch changes in your health and wellness that need attention.

Health Guardian features — a suite of proactive health and safety tools — are coming soon to the Google Health app for Pixel Watch and Fitbit Air. Health Guardian features include three new capabilities that can track important shifts in your body over time and deliver insights to help you make informed choices about your health.

By working quietly in the background 24/7, Health Guardian features can track usually invisible health and wellness indicators, such as insulin resistance trends. The information is shared in a monthly summary in the Google Health app that highlights noteworthy shifts. You can also get timely notifications if a feature detects something that requires your attention.

Whenever you get new information, Google Health Coach is there to help you understand what it means. Your Coach acts as your partner, translating your data into clear insights and guiding you on practical lifestyle changes to improve your health and wellness.

New ways to track your well-being

Here are the four Health Guardian features that will be coming soon to qualified Pixel Watches and Fitbit Air.

Insulin resistance trends: Insulin resistance affects how efficiently your body absorbs energy from food. When your insulin resistance is trending high, your body works overtime to deliver that energy. Prolonged unmanaged insulin resistance can lead to a deterioration of your metabolic health. And because these shifts happen quietly, roughly 40% of adults are unaware they're happening. If you catch fluctuations in your insulin resistance early, you have the opportunity to improve your metabolic health by changing your nutrition, sleep, and movement. A first-of-its-kind feature on Pixel and Fitbit wearables, Insulin Resistance Trends analyzes multi-week physiological data to track shifts in your metabolic health without requiring a single drop of blood.
Blood pressure trends: Blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of heart health, but for most people it's invisible. Six in 10 people don't realize when their blood pressure has shifted higher. These persistent patterns over time can lead to a deterioration in your heart and kidney health. Our devices passively measure your pulse and motion patterns throughout the month to estimate your blood pressure trends without requiring a cuff or manual calibration. This helps you spot persistent higher cardiovascular trends early so you can make lifestyle changes, confirm patterns with a home blood pressure monitor, or consult a healthcare professional.
Sleep breathing quality trends: Breathing variations can interrupt your sleep without fully waking you and impact your energy and recovery. sleep breathing quality trends give you a new way of understanding how your breathing changes while you sleep. Each morning, you'll see how much of your sleep was spent in optimal breathing. Those insights come together into a monthly assessment that can help you recognize longer-term patterns, adjust your sleep environment and daily habits, or talk with a healthcare professional about how to increase your daytime energy.
Breathing emergency detection: [Pixel Watch; select European countries only] When a breathing-related emergency — severe pneumonia, an accidental drug overdose, or choking — causes a persistent, critical drop in oxygen saturation, a person can rapidly become unresponsive and unable to call for help. A first of its kind, opt-in feature on Pixel Watch, breathing emergency detection can recognize when a person's blood oxygen level drops dangerously low. If they become unresponsive, it can automatically call emergency services and, if applicable, their emergency contacts so they can receive potentially life-saving care.

AI that understands human biology

Bringing this technology to your wrist is the result of years of breakthrough AI research. Traditionally, teaching AI required experts to manually analyze and label thousands of hours of sensor data. Instead, we developed advanced AI models that taught themselves human biology by observing sensor data from millions of opted-in users across billions of minutes of everyday life.

The result is a state of the art sensor model that deeply understands how the human body works and can even fill in the blanks when your device misses a beat or captures incomplete data.

Products backed by research

Every Health Guardian feature has undergone thoughtful clinical validation with gold-standard ground truth devices and measurement protocol, incorporating feedback from the scientific community. For example:

Insulin resistance trends are built with our latest large sensor foundational model, which is pretrained on over one trillion minutes of data from 5 million opted-in users. An article speaking to their accuracy, which was validated by standard clinical blood tests, was published in Nature.
Blood pressure trends are built on WavesFM, a foundation model trained on billions of minutes of raw heart and movement data. The data was validated across a diverse range of people and by a Fitbit Hypertension Labs study.

A smarter approach to health and longevity

By powering Health Guardian features with advanced AI, we're laying the foundation for a new wave of health insights. Moving forward, these models and advancement will allow your wearable to catch more subtle changes early, helping you take proactive steps toward a longer, healthier life.

Pixel Watch 5: Proactive assistance and advanced health tracking on your wrist

2026-08-13T08:03:00.000+08:00

Pixel Watch 5: Proactive assistance and advanced health tracking on your wrist

Designed for Gemini Intelligence and Google Health, your watch provides the help you need right when you need it. Stay on top of your day with proactive assistance, and experience breakthrough Health Guardian features.

Last year, Pixel Watch 4 set a new standard for our smartwatches with its iconic design, long lasting ultra-fast charging battery, and on-wrist Gemini capabilities. Today, Pixel Watch 5 builds upon this foundation to change what a smartwatch can do, delivering our most proactive help and health experience yet. It’s designed for Gemini Intelligence, advanced fitness features with Google Health, and breakthrough new Health Guardian features.

Helpfulness at a glance

Pixel Watch 5 works silently in the background so you can stay present in the moments that matter most. At the center of this experience is At a Glance, which brings dynamic, context-aware updates directly to your watch face right when you need them. At a Glance ensures critical information is always right at hand — like surfacing live boarding passes as you step into the airport or showing remaining stops on your morning commute.

Interacting with your watch is even faster and more fluid thanks to major enhancements to Raise to Talk, our most popular way to interact with Gemini. Simply lift your wrist to engage Gemini to launch a workout, set a timer, or pull up dinner reservations straight from Gmail. Powered by on-device AI, core actions now process instantly with low latency, even when you’re completely offline.

Building on that foundation, Gemini Intelligence Proactive Suggestions turns complex, multi-step tasks into seamless one-tap actions. If a loved one asks when is the dinner with family, Gemini automatically locates the info in your calendar and surfaces it directly on your wrist, eliminating the need to dig through your phone.

To make taking action effortless while staying in the moment, intuitive one-handed gestures work hand-in-hand with these proactive suggestions. When a timely proactive suggestion surfaces, you can select, confirm and send with a simple double pinch gesture, keeping your interactions fast and hands-free.

All of this helpfulness is driven by powerful new hardware under the hood. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® W5 Gen 2 Accelerated processor and a power-efficient dual-chip architecture, Pixel Watch 5 packs 50% more RAM and a 12% CPU boost — making it 20% faster so every proactive insight and action feels instant.

Advanced health and fitness, enhanced with Google Health Coach

Precision remains our cornerstone, and Pixel Watch 5 delivers our most accurate GPS route tracking yet — offering 2x greater accuracy compared to previous generations in the toughest environments. Whether you’re running through dense high-rises or navigating covered trails, your watch delivers pinpoint location tracking even in the most challenging environments.

We leveraged the advanced technology behind Google Maps to trace satellite ray paths through 3D building models. Pixel Watch 5 also taps into a global network of weather reference stations in real time, adjusting satellite readings to account for local atmospheric conditions as they happen.

This combination of 3D environmental modeling, AI driven optimizations, and atmospheric corrections elevates route precision to a whole new tier. Pixel Watch 5 has our most accurate GPS route tracking for exercise, outperforming Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin Fenix 8 Pro.

We know fitness goes far beyond cardio. Building strength is essential for long-term health, but structuring balanced workouts and staying on track during a session can be challenging. Coming soon, our new on-wrist Strength Training workout experience brings step-by-step guidance directly to your wrist, helping you move through sets and rest periods while making it easy to log your weights and reps on the go.

Google Health Coach also creates customized strength workouts tailored to your goals. You can also build and customize your own strength routines directly in the Google Health app. Beyond workout planning, Google Health Coach translates recovery metrics like your sleep and heart rate variability into adaptive recommendations — such as swapping an intense run for indoor yoga during an afternoon heat wave.

When it's time to recharge, Pixel Watch 5 and Google Health Coach elevate sleep tracking with 15% more accurate sleep stage detection, bedtime automations that automatically pause audiobooks when you drift off, and a dedicated bedtime watch face. When morning comes, Smart Wake ensures you wake up feeling refreshed. By monitoring your heart rate and movement during the 30 minutes leading up to your alarm, Smart Wake identifies optimal moments of lighter sleep to gently wake you before your set alarm time.

Take steps to improve wellness with Health Guardian features and more

Health Guardian features can catch subtle shifts in your health and wellness before they escalate into bigger issues. Pixel Watch 5 builds on crucial, potentially life-saving features like Loss of Pulse Detection and satellite communications by introducing an industry-first feature to the wrist: breathing emergency detection. Powered by multimodal sensors — including PPG, accelerometer, and barometer — alongside on-device AI, Pixel Watch 5 continuously monitors for severe, persistent drops in oxygen saturation that can result from drug toxicity accidents, severe pneumonia, or choking. If a breathing emergency is detected and you are unresponsive, your watch can automatically call emergency services and transmit your exact location (launching first in Europe).

While emergency response is critical, taking steps toward improving your health is also about seeing the full picture, catching quiet, invisible trends before they become emergencies. Joining established capabilities in the Google Health app like irregular heart rate notifications, high and low heart rate alerts, and ECG, we're introducing three additional groundbreaking Health Guardian features.

Built on state-of-the-art Health Foundation Models trained on billions of minutes of sensor data from opted-in users and rigorously validated against gold-standard clinical measurements, these models power three new monthly trend summaries: blood pressure trends, sleep breathing quality trends, and insulin resistance trends. Rolling out soon — with your first detailed summary arriving after one month of wear — these reports illuminate metabolic, respiratory and cardiovascular shifts early, giving you clear insights to help you take control of your long-term health. Plus, monthly summaries will soon be available across our wearable portfolio, including the new Google Fitbit Air.

By bringing together proactive Gemini Intelligence, our most precise GPS engineering, personalized strength coaching with step by step directions (coming soon), and innovative Health Guardian features, Pixel Watch 5 delivers the insights, safety, and speed you need, right when you need them most.

7 can’t-miss updates from our Pixel 11 launch

2026-08-13T08:02:00.000+08:00

7 can’t-miss updates from our Pixel 11 launch

Our 11th generation of Pixel phones is designed for Gemini Intelligence and delivers advanced camera features.

The new Pixel 11 lineup is designed for Gemini Intelligence and delivers impressive camera upgrades. From all-new image sensors to proactive and personalized assistance, our latest hardware is built to help you navigate your day-to-day so you can stay present for what matters most.

1. With Gemini Intelligence, get personalized help with everyday tasks.

We’re introducing a bunch of updates that deliver timely, proactive help and help you get things done. On Gemini Intelligence devices, Gemini can handle even more multi-step tasks across your favorite apps, expanding to more than 40 apps and counting along with plenty more features you’ll find first on Pixel.

That includes Rambler, our Gemini-powered voice input feature, which is built for the way you actually talk. It delivers fast, accurate voice input that transcribes your point cleanly and concisely — even when you use filler words, like “um” and “ah.” And beyond Rambler, we’re introducing a couple more updates right in Gboard: sign-to-text functionality, which uses Google DeepMind's Sign Language-to-Text (SL2T) model, allows Signers to naturally type messages while enhanced writing tools help craft relevant, tailored messages in your own personal style.

Pixel 11 will offer timely, helpful information through easily glanceable cards in the apps you’re already using. So, for example, if a friend asks about a trip that’s coming up, a card with your booking details will pop up along with details on if your flight is on time or delayed.

You’ll also see suggestions that are contextually relevant to the conversations you’re having. Like when you’re texting about dinner while rushing out the door — Pixel can step in to help, offering a proactive prompt suggestion to lock down your reservation with just a tap.

You’ll see this type of proactive help in many more places across your phone — like suggestions to save events to your Calendar, locations to Maps or relevant information to Google Wallet, like membership numbers on airline or hotel apps.

One last thing. Launching in Preview, your phone will provide location based insights7 Like when you’re waiting for a table at a new restaurant, your lockscreen will proactively show that location and, with just a tap, offer insights - such as top menu items or the most popular seats - from hundreds of reviews and photos, right in Google Maps.

2. Stay present with Magic Capture.

Life’s most precious moments can happen in a blink. And we don’t want you to miss living in the moment as you try to capture it. With Magic Capture, you’ll be able to automatically snap those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it baby smiles, playful pets, or hard-to-get action shots — like a basketball frozen in mid air — with a single tap, all while you stay present and engaged.

In a typical session, Magic Capture uses both on-device intelligence and Gemini models to analyze around 400 frames to deliver perfectly-timed, high-quality 12MP photos. And Magic Capture can even automatically apply edits like crop and unblur, so your moments are ready to share. Even better, you’ll also get a video without needing to go back and forth between modes.

3. Pick your aesthetic with Camera Looks.

Camera Looks allows you to choose the exact aesthetic you’re going for, right at the point of capture. Because while the Original Pixel look is widely loved, we know everyone has their own preferences.
Now, you can set a new default photo look with three alternative options: Natural (for relaxed details), Shadows (for deeper contrast), and Vanilla (for a warm, golden glow). To create our Camera Looks, we made adjustments such as merging fewer frames for a minimally processed feel or rewriting color-lookup tables and more to emulate classic film chemistry.

If you want to add even more personal style to your photos, you can choose from six additional Looks: Digi, Black Tie, Minimal, Editorial, Classic, and Velvet. And every Camera Look is fully customizable so your photos will perfectly reflect your vision.

4. Make content more easily with Creator Suite.

Creator Suite makes content creation even easier on Pixel.

That includes handy tools right in your viewfinder — like social media gridlines or an on-screen teleprompter that dynamically scrolls as you talk — allowing you to frame recordings and speak at your own pace and never miss a word. You’ll also get more organizational support, with your captured videos saved directly into project folders. And once your video’s recorded, use Storyboard to effortlessly trim and rearrange your clips. Plus, you can now set video as your default mode when you open Pixel Camera, so you’re always ready for action.

5. Take low-light pictures much faster.

Pixel has always been great at capturing the stars, and Instant Night Sight makes low-light photography better than ever on Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. You’ll now be able to capture Night Sight images up to 4.5 times faster while still retaining the quality you’ve come to expect. Because when you’re shooting in low light, you shouldn't have to choose between a great shot and holding still.

6. Translate real-world content without interruption.

Translate videos and audio in real time with Live Translate . This technology leverages Live Translate’s real-time speech-to-speech translation capability, advanced on-device GenAI models powered by our Tensor G6 processor, automatically dubs media content from around the world into your preferred language.

7. Circle to search made easy, right in camera

Use Circle to Search in your Camera viewfinder to learn about things you see. For example, if you’re exploring a botanical garden, you can quickly point your camera at a flower, zoom in for a closer look, and use Circle to Search to instantly identify the species, find planting tips, or get more information.

The dual screens on Pixel 11 are ideal for real-time translation, especially with our new sign-to-text feature. Developed in partnership with the Deaf community, it lets signers express themselves in Live Transcribe and Gboard. Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s hands-free form factor makes setting up for signing easy, and can be used with both one-handed and two-handed signs. Sign in American Sign Language to the front camera and transcriptions will appear on the outer display.

And bubbles have been optimized for Fold to make multitasking easy. Turn any app into a bubble and you'll be able to see it on the bottom right corner of your screen when unfolded for quick and easy access.

Foldable-exclusive features you know and love are here to stay, like Drag and Drop, Split Screen, Instant View, and two new animations for Made You Look. Plus, Pixel 11 Pro Fold is equipped with the same helpful features as the rest of the Pixel 11 lineup, including proactive assistance, and improved Circle to Search integration with Pixel Camera.

A camera for moments you can’t retake

From detailed landscape shots to extreme close-ups, you’ll get crisp, beautiful images every time thanks to a new 48MP main camera and telephoto camera with up to 30x Super Zoom. New features for the Pixel 11 series like Magic Capture and Camera Looks allow you to elevate and personalize your photos by capturing the perfect moment when your subject is in motion and providing customizable Looks that bring your unique vision to life.

The Pixel 11 series: Your most personal Pixel yet

2026-08-13T08:00:00.000+08:00

The Pixel 11 series: Your most personal Pixel yet

Our 11th generation of Pixel phones bring refined hardware that’s built to last, upgraded cameras, and more proactive Gemini support — powered by the new Google Tensor G6 chip.

We have unveiled the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL, which come with major camera upgrades, enhanced durability, and our fastest, most powerful chip, Google Tensor G6, that runs the latest Gemini Nano model. These phones are designed for Gemini Intelligence to deliver time-saving, personal help and include new camera experiences that will help you better capture the moment in your authentic style.

A refined design that’s built to last

All three phones feature a sophisticated design with edge-to-edge glass across the iconic Pixel camera bar.

And starting with Pixel 11, the camera bar's thickness was reduced by 40%, making the phone virtually bumpless when paired with a Made by Google case. That means it’s more pocketable than ever and completely wobble-free on flat surfaces. Pixel 11 combines style and strength, housing a bright, immersive Actua display in a stunning satin metal frame with a polished glass back — and is engineered to withstand everyday splashes, scratches, and drops.

Pixel 11 comes in two vibrant pops of color, Pistachio and Hibiscus, along with two elegant neutrals, Frost and Obsidian.

Back again in two sizes, our latest pro phones — Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL — deliver the ultimate Pixel experience. That starts with our brightest-ever Super Actua display, up to 3,600 nits and a new anti-scratch display coating that delivers more than double the scratch resistance of the previous generation. And when paired with our drop-resistant design introduced in our Pixel 9 series, these are our most durable Pro phones yet

Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are available in four elevated, fresh color options: Canyon, Fog, Olive, and an all-matte Obsidian.

All three phones start at 256GB of storage and feature our fastest charging yet, including Pixelsnap built-in and — new to Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro — Qi 2.2 25W compatibility. As for wired charging, Pixel 11 Pro XL can now get you 15 hours of battery life in 15 minutes.

A connected experience, without the distraction

On Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, HiLight will help you stay informed without having to look at your screen. It’s a delightful addition to our Pro devices that will keep you connected, not distracted, when your phone is face down.

Using colored LED lights built around the camera’s flash, HiLight will gently glow to notify you of timely, glanceable information. For example, when you prompt Gemini, it will glow in different patterns to signal that it’s listening, thinking, or responding.

And for incoming calls, you can assign custom colors to the people who matter most to you. It gives you confidence that you won’t miss anything critical, while staying focused on your task. It’s one of the many ways our latest hardware will help you be more present. And you can expect to see more capabilities added to HiLight over time — like message notifications from your favorite contacts.

A camera system built for priceless moments

All three phones include major upgrades across their camera systems.

Starting with Pixel 11, you’ll find a new, larger, 48-megapixel main sensor that delivers 56% more light sensitivity for some truly stunning photos and videos, even in challenging low-light environments. And powered by Tensor G6, our 5x telephoto lens will now support 30x Super Zoom, getting you even closer to your subject.

Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are also getting major camera upgrades.

Starting with the main lens, you’re getting a brand new sensor for Pixel’s best camera yet. And for the telephoto, we have an upgraded 48-megapixel camera that delivers stunning quality across its full zoom range. We’ve completely redesigned it to include a larger image sensor with 30% more light sensitivity, and we’ve enabled Portrait Mode at 5x, so you can have even more options to frame up the perfect shot. And thanks to Tensor G6, combined with our latest imaging models, you’ll also be able to see even further, with Pro Zoom at 120x.

Tensor G6 also plays a big role in elevating low light photography with its upgraded Image Signal Processor (ISP). And combined with redesigned software and improved sensors, Night Sight will now capture up to 4 and a half times faster, with the same excellent quality you’ve come to expect.

All powered by Google Tensor G6

Powering some of our most advanced camera experiences, Tensor G6 is our fastest, most powerful chip yet.

But we didn’t just build a faster chip; we built a purpose-driven engine designed to make your Pixel more intuitive, fluid, and helpful.

Tensor G6 features an upgraded CPU for 25% faster web browsing and 15% quicker app launches. (16) Packing 50% more TPU compute and paired with the latest Gemini Nano model, Google Tensor G6 processes on-device AI tasks up to 3.5 times faster while using up to 3.5 times less energy.

As technology evolves, so do the threats. Google Pixel is engineered specifically to help safeguard your most sensitive information from advanced attacks today and from risks like attacks by quantum computers in the future. Our new Titan M3 security chip and custom Tensor G6 processor seamlessly integrate to form our most robust, proactive defense system yet, bringing post-quantum cryptography to secure boot on your device.

Everything on your Pixel works together - the software, the hardware, the processor, and the AI - to give you real-world protection. And sccording to a new report by Counterpoint Research, our AI experience on Pixel has the most privacy protection on a phone.

Ask Maps comes to Malaysia

2026-08-07T12:10:04.219+08:00

Ask Maps is Google Maps’ biggest transformation in over a decade. By bringing Gemini capabilities together with the world’s freshest map, we’ve made it easier than ever to get answers to real-world questions.

We’ve been thrilled to see how Ask Maps is helping people use Maps in entirely new ways from finding a restaurant where you can actually hear each other talk, to mapping out a scenic three-hour motorcycle ride. Building on this, we’re now making Ask Maps even more helpful with new agentic capabilities, real-time information. We’re also expanding it to over 160 new countries and territories, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and New Zealand.

Order food, find the perfect hotel, and discover events

Ask Maps can now handle complex, multi-step tasks for you using new agentic capabilities. Say you want to order takeout before leaving the office: just ask Maps to “order spicy pad kee mao with seafood for me to pick up on my way home.” It’ll find open restaurants along your route that serve what you're craving, and can even consider things like your saved places or specific dietary needs. Once you select a restaurant, Ask Maps automatically adds your dishes directly to your cart so you can easily review and complete your order. This is possible thanks to partners like Square, Toast, and Uber Eats - we’ll continue working with these partners to evolve these experiences as we co-develop the Universal Commerce Protocol for Food.

With Ask Maps, you can also quickly discover the latest information about hotels and local events. Ask for what you need: ““For next week’s conference in downtown Miami, find me a decently priced, top-rated hotel with an artsy vibe, within walking distance from a gym and restaurants.” Ask Maps compares real-time prices and checks availability for you so you can find the right spot. And if you need ideas for what to do nearby, Ask Maps will show you everything from concerts to comedy shows, complete with links for tickets.

Get trusted, real-time information instantly

People already rely on Google Maps for up-to-date, real-world information. Now, Ask Maps is making this info even easier to access with a new live transit board that updates automatically. So if you ask, “Is there a ferry to get to Taronga Zoo with views of the Opera House? When is the next one coming?" you’ll see all of your options at a glance, including live delay alerts. If you're planning to drive instead, Ask Maps will tell you about real-time disruptions along your route like a crash or construction. Want to beat the crowds? Just ask Maps how busy a place is right now so you can time your arrival perfectly.

Contribute map updates and share tips conversationally

Insights from over 500 million contributors play a big role in keeping Maps fresh and helpful, and now we’re making it simpler to share updates. You can suggest edits conversationally, right from Ask Maps and the Contribute tab. If you notice a store’s hours have changed, tap the "..." icon in Ask Maps and select “update a place” to make a conversational update. As always, Maps systems review suggested edits for accuracy, and won’t post suggestions that violate our policies. You can even upload a photo of a storefront sign, Maps will detect the new hours from the image and confirm with you before submitting your suggestion. Beyond edits, you can share insider tips by saying something like, “Try asking the owner for personal styling advice.”

Real-time information, more personalized responses and remembering past conversations in Ask Maps are rolling out now everywhere Ask Maps is available. Food ordering, discovering hotels and events, in addition to conversational contributions are rolling out now in the U.S., with more countries to come over time. With these new updates, Ask Maps is ready to help you tackle whatever the day throws your way.

Introducing Gemini Spark: Your 24/7 personal AI agent in Malaysia

2026-07-29T12:01:15.927+08:00

Introducing Gemini Spark: Your 24/7 personal AI agent in Malaysia

Gemini Spark is officially launching in Malaysia, a 24/7 background AI agent that works under your direction to manage complex, time-consuming tasks and give you your time back.

We all have a running list of daily digital tasks we wish someone else would just handle for us. If you’re a busy parent, imagine having someone sort through scattered school emails in your Gmail so you never miss another permission slip deadline.

Meet Gemini Spark: your 24/7 personal AI agent that can do exactly that. Officially expanding to Google AI Pro subscribers in Malaysia this week, Spark works quietly in the background - even when your laptop is closed or your phone is locked. It operates on Google’s secure cloud infrastructure, which means it connects natively with your Google Workspace tools like Gmail, Docs, and Sheets with zero setup required.

Available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers in Bahasa Malaysia and English, Gemini Spark fundamentally shifts AI from a reactive assistant that answers your questions into an active partner that gets real work done for you, even while you’re sleeping. Driven by Gemini 3.6 Flash, this new tool is designed to handle your time-consuming digital chores under your direction, giving you time back to focus on what matters most.

Spark always operates under your direction. You choose whether to turn it on and what apps it connects to, and it is designed to ask you first before performing high-stakes actions like spending money or sending emails.

Here are some great prompts to try with Gemini Spark:

“Daily life-maxxer”: Every Friday at 8AM, find interesting things happening around Kuala Lumpur, such as food festivals, concerts, night markets, hiking trails or family-friendly events. Add them to a Google Doc with the event details, estimated travel time and links to learn more. If there are up to three events you think I'd really enjoy, add them to my Google Calendar

“Savvy Ringgit-saver”: On the first day of every month, review my Gmail for bills and subscription receipts from the previous month, including utilities, internet, insurance, streaming services and mobile plans. Let me know if any prices have increased, if free trials are ending, or if I’m paying for subscriptions I rarely use. Draft cancellation emails where appropriate for my review.

“Hustling entrepreneur”: Scan my inbox for customer inquiries. Automatically draft an email response recommending my services and pricing packages based on their request, and save it to drafts for my review.

“Productive professional”: Read through the last 50 emails that I wrote and turn it into a style guide for how I write emails. Turn that into a skill that gets used every time I ask you to draft emails for me. Call that skill ‘ghostwriter’.

This is the next chapter for Google AI: agents that put the world’s information to work for you. So ask whatever’s on your mind, and Google can now do more for you than ever before.

YouTube Launches Creators for Impact Programme to Support Safer Online Experiences for Malaysian Families

2026-07-22T15:30:00.000+08:00

YouTube is working with six prominent homegrown voices to bring practical digital safety tools and real-world guidance directly to Malaysian households

Google representatives with the six homegrown voices selected to champion online safety and empower parents through educational content at the launch of YouTube Creators for Impact

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 July 2026 – Google announced the official launch of the YouTube Creators for Impact programme in Malaysia, bringing together trusted local creators to champion online safety and empower parents through educational content as online safety becomes an increasingly important conversation for Malaysian families.

This rollout builds on YouTube's long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more responsible online ecosystem. With 72% of Malaysian parents stating that using digital safety or educational tools together with their child helps them feel more confident discussing online safety¹, the programme harnesses the influence of trusted local creators to spotlight such tools and make these conversations more accessible and relatable for families.

To help Malaysian families cultivate good digital habits at home, Google has mobilised the Lighthouse Creators – a group of six prominent homegrown voices chosen for their credibility, positive influence, and unique ability to spark meaningful conversations. The lineup includes A Lad and a Dad, Aqil Zulkiflee, Fourfeetnine, FU LOVE, Im_siowei and JE Pong.

Over the next two months, these creators will collaborate with industry experts and peers in intensive workshops, gaining practical insights into critical online safety issues—specifically parental controls and youth well-being. Armed with this knowledge, they will produce content focused on three core pillars:

Smart Guardrails: Practical tips on navigating parental tools and safety features.

Digital Wellness: Practical strategies for building healthy tech habits at home.

Purposeful Tech: Leveraging technology as a powerful tool for learning and skill-building.

YB Teo Nie Ching, Deputy Minister of Communications in Malaysia, said, "Building a secure and resilient digital ecosystem is a core national priority, but achieving a truly safe online space requires a shared commitment between the government, industry leaders and communities. We commend Google’s proactive efforts to build a digitally secure community in Malaysia by utilising our nation’s vibrant creator ecosystem.”

Ben King, Managing Director of Google Malaysia and Singapore, said, “At Google, we believe in protecting kids in, not from, the digital world, which is why we have invested for over a decade to give Malaysian families the tools they need to explore our platform safely. Having our creators join this vital conversation to help families build healthy online habits and confidently leverage our safety guardrails is incredibly powerful. We continue to be inspired by their creativity and dedication to imparting this important information in relatable ways. By combining our technology with trusted local voices, we hope to give Malaysian families the confidence to build a more secure digital world.”

JE Pong, one of the C4I Lighthouse Creators said: "Years ago, I came to YouTube as an artist chasing creative dreams. Fast forward to today, I look at it through the lens of a mother invested in what the next generation consumes online. While a fast-moving digital world can feel overwhelming, our responsibility is not to fear technology, but to master it with confidence. Knowing platforms like YouTube embed safety features into the everyday experience gives families like mine real peace of mind. Through Creators for Impact, I hope to use my voice to bridge the gap between technology and parenting, helping more children explore, learn, and grow safely."

2026-06-24T09:15:25.423+08:00

Project Sigma 2.0, an expanded programme by Google, empowers local newsrooms to better engage Gen Z audiences through experimentation, innovation and audience-focused strategies
Google launches Project Berita to address journalism talent and skills gaps while advancing AI readiness across Malaysia's media ecosystem
PENANG, 20 June 2026 – Google announced the launch of Project Berita and Project Sigma 2.0 in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications Malaysia and Majlis Media Malaysia (MMM) at the National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2026. These initiatives seek to advance the future of Malaysian journalism by helping news organisations navigate changing audience behaviours, ongoing technological transformations and the growing demand for future-ready media skills.
Building on the success of the initial 2024 pilot¹, Google is introducing Project Sigma 2.0 to support up to 20 small-to-medium-sized news organisations across Malaysia with frameworks, tools and consulting strategies to better engage Gen Z audiences, who comprise approximately 26% of the nation's population.²
In response to the launch, Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications, said that the Government is committed to ensuring that media practitioners continue to have opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills in emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI).
"In line with this commitment, the Ministry of Communications fully supports the implementation of Project Sigma 2.0, an initiative led by Google Malaysia in collaboration with the Malaysian Media Council (MMC).

You can now virtually try on clothes and shoes with this new AI shopping feature

2026-06-02T09:33:38.833+08:00

Google’s Try On tool is now available in Malaysia to help you shop with more confidence

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 June 2026 — Whether you’re looking for a cozy sweater, a fresh look for a weekend getaway or the perfect piece for a job interview, envisioning how you’d look in it when shopping online can be challenging. But we’re now making it easier.

Today, we’re expanding access to our apparel try-on tool, launching it in Malaysia. This will start rolling out and will be available widely in coming weeks. The feature makes the online shopping experience more personal, allowing you to virtually try apparel on yourself, just by uploading a photo. In addition to being able to try on tops, bottoms, dresses, you can also try on shoes. So you can find those great new sneakers, heels or loafers for fall.

Try On is powered by a custom image generation model for fashion, which understands the human body and nuances of clothing — like how different materials fold, stretch and drape on different bodies. It preserves these subtleties when applied to poses in your photos - so the result lets you see how a piece of clothing would look on you, instead of seeing just a still picture or on a model. Try On lets you shop from the billions of apparel items in our Shopping Graph across Search, Google Shopping and even product results on Google Images.

To get started, tap on any product listing across Google or any apparel product result on Google Images and tap the “try it on” icon. Upload a full-length photo of yourself and within moments you’ll see what you might look like wearing that exact piece of clothing. And you can try on as many looks as you want, experimenting with different colors, new styles and trends.

Afterwards, you can go back and scroll through other looks you’ve tried. You can also save your favorite ones and even share them with your friends. If you like it, you can tap on the shop button and you’ll be redirected to the merchant’s website where you can purchase the look.

When you try on clothes in a store, you can easily tell if they’re right for you. You should feel just as confident shopping for clothes online. And with Google’s Try On feature we’re bringing the fitting room experience to your screen.

Google launches ‘Bijak Digital Bersama Google dan YouTube’ to help families become safer and smarter digital citizens

2026-05-11T12:33:00.003+08:00

New Asia-Pacific AI Safety survey finds more than 4 in 5 Malaysian parents concerned about online risks, revealing a critical “resilience gap” as families navigate an AI-driven world

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 May 2026 – Google and YouTube today introduced Bijak Digital Bersama Google dan YouTube, an initiative aimed at equipping Malaysian families with the knowledge, tools and confidence to navigate the digital world safely. Through hands-on experiences and expert-led discussions, the programme empowers families to foster healthier, more resilient relationships with technology, encouraging a shift from active monitoring towards long-term digital confidence and mentorship.

This comes on the back of a YouGov survey commissioned by Google on AI safety perceptions and habits, which found a growing “resilience gap” among Malaysian families. While 67% of parents feel confident guiding their children on AI, many struggle to translate that confidence into consistent and effective online safety practices.

The survey also highlighted several key challenges faced by Malaysian parents:

3 in 5 parents (56.8%) cite online safety and privacy as their top concern, yet fewer than 2 in 5 (38.9%) feel confident protecting their child’s personal data online.
More than half of parents (54.5%) are concerned about content exposure, while 86.1% believe their children are at risk of encountering misinformation or harmful content.
3 in 5 parents (52.7%) struggle with managing screen time, but only 1 in 5 (21%) use remote locking features to manage device usage.

These challenges often lead to a reliance on “active monitoring” (54%), which can be exhausting for parents and create friction with teens who value their digital independence. Against this backdrop, discussions at Bijak Digital Bersama Google dan YouTube focused on empowering families to move from short-term control towards building long-term digital confidence, open dialogue and critical thinking skills that can better prepare children to navigate the online world independently and responsibly.

Ben King, Country Managing Director, Google Malaysia, said, “Parents today are more engaged than ever in guiding their children online, but many are still navigating unfamiliar ground as technology continues to evolve. At Google, our goal is to protect kids and teens in the digital world, not from the digital world. That’s why we have been building age-appropriate experiences for our younger users and developing tools that help families manage their relationship with technology. By equipping families with the right tools and knowledge, we hope to ensure that children are able to navigate the Internet safely and confidently.”

Helping Families Learn Better and Stay Safer Online

To support this shift from monitoring to mentorship, Google and YouTube have introduced a range of built-in tools and resources designed to help families learn better through AI, while also fostering safer and healthier digital habits.

Google is also invested in building age-appropriate experiences for our younger users, and developing tools that put parents in the driver’s seat to shape their families’ digital experience with tailored products and features. This includes:

Content guardrails for the age-appropriate experiences for children – such as SafeSearch help filter explicit content across websites and search results, while YouTube Kids and supervised experiences on YouTube provide age-appropriate viewing environments based on a child’s maturity level.
Helping families manage screen time and digital routines: With tools like Family Link, parents can establish ground rules within the family like customising time limits to apps, managing the websites they visit and apps they download. Features such as “School Time” and device downtime also help minimise distractions when children need to focus.
On YouTube, Parents can enable digital wellbeing reminders like “Bedtime” and Take a Break to control the time spent on the platform. Parents also have the ability to set the amount of time their kids spend scrolling Shorts, including to zero, helping young users pause, reflect and reduce excessive scrolling habits.
Ensuring digital literacy as a family: Through initiatives such as Be Internet Awesome, both parents and children are equipped with practical skills to navigate the online world more responsibly, from identifying misinformation to developing safer online habits.

Across its platforms, Google and YouTube continue to strengthen safeguards for younger users including age-appropriate experiences, enhanced content protections and tools that help users better understand and verify what they see online. These efforts reflect a broader commitment to ensuring children and teens can explore, learn, and grow online in a way that is both safe and empowering.

Google launches enhanced protection in Google Play Protect to better protect Android mobile users from scams

2026-04-28T23:47:00.002+08:00

(L to R) Ram Papatla, Managing Director, Trust and Safety, Google APAC, YB Teo Nie Ching, Deputy Minister of Communications, YB Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications, Ben King, Country Managing Director, Google Malaysia, Ir. Dr Megat Zuhairy Bin Megat Tajuddin, Chief Executive of NACSA National Cyber Security Agency, National Security Council (NACSA, NSC), Mediha Mahmood, Chief Executive Officer, Communications and Multimedia Content Forum

To further keep Malaysians safe from financial fraud, Google has rolled out its enhanced fraud protection feature within Google Play Protect to all Android users in Malaysia. This initiative is supported by the National Cyber Security Agency, National Security Council (NACSA, NSC), and is designed to better safeguard mobile users against malware-enabled scams, by blocking the installation of potentially-risky sideloaded apps.

The announcement was made at the Google 2026 Online Safety Dialogue, alongside Malaysia Minister of Communications, YB Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. This is in line with the Ministry’s ‘Kempen Internet Selamat’, aimed at bolstering nationwide digital safety against threats such as online scams.

How enhanced fraud protection works

Google Play Protect’s enhanced fraud protection analyses and automatically blocks the installation of apps that may abuse sensitive permissions to commit financial fraud

Google’s feature blocks installation of internet-sideloaded apps from web browsers, messaging apps or file managers that attempt to access sensitive permissions commonly exploited for financial fraud.

Real-time inspection: With this enhancement, when someone attempts to install a potentially risky app from an internet-sideloading source – such as a web browser, messaging app or file manager – Google Play Protect inspects the declared permissions in real-time.
Automatic block: This enhancement will inspect the permissions of the app declared in real-time and specifically look for runtime permissions frequently abused for financial fraud – such as reading SMSes, or intercepting one-time passwords (OTPs). If the app requests access to these sensitive permissions, the installation is blocked.
Clear warnings: Consumers will receive a prompt explaining that the app was blocked because it requests access to sensitive data, which can increase the risk of identity theft or financial fraud.

(L to R) Ram Papatla, Managing Director, Trust & Safety, Google APAC, Dr. Piti Srisangnam, ASEAN Foundation Executive Director, YB Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Ambassador Datin Sarah Nava Rani Al Bakri Devadason, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the ASEAN Foundation and Permanent Representative of Malaysia to ASEAN, Ambassador Evangeline T. Ong Jimenez-Ducrocq, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Philippines to ASEAN

YB Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Malaysia Minister of Communications, said, “Strengthening online safety and platform accountability is a national priority. We are encouraged by Google’s proactive introduction of enhanced safeguards across its platforms, which serve as a critical defense against evolving cyber risks. By combining technology with partnerships and local community outreach, the company’s initiatives support our national 'Kempen Internet Selamat' and ensure that every Malaysian is empowered with the knowledge and tools to stay safe and informed in this digital age."

Ben King, Country Managing Director, Google Malaysia, said, “As Malaysia advances with AI, creating a safe digital experience for every Malaysian becomes more critical than ever. While we have introduced new products and programs to tackle scams, we understand that these threats are always evolving. Google remains committed to staying ahead of these risks by innovating our AI-powered defenses, and investing in nationwide literacy programs that empower Malaysians with the knowledge to defend against these evolving threats. Together, we are building a future where everyone can navigate the internet with confidence.”

Ir. Dr. Megat Zuhairy bin Megat Tajuddin, Chief Executive of the National Cyber Security Agency, National Security Council (NACSA, NSC), added, “Safeguarding our national cyberspace requires a multi-layered and whole-of-society approach, in line with the Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy (MCSS) 2025–2030. NACSA welcomes industry-led efforts that enhance user protection, as such measures contribute to strengthening Malaysia’s overall cyber resilience and help ensure that digital technologies remain a safe and trusted enabler of progress.”

A Multi-Layered Security Ecosystem

Google also announced two new updates that increase the accountability of content online, and create a safer digital experience for users:

Android Developer Verification: Mandatory developer identity verification will be introduced to prevent repeat offenders from distributing harmful apps. By 2027, all apps on certified Android devices in Malaysia must come from verified developers.
Financial Services Verification: As of 14 April 2026, advertisers promoting financial services must be verified by regulators such as Bank Negara Malaysia and the Securities Commission Malaysia before running ads on Google platforms, helping block fraudulent financial promotions.

Empowering Malaysians Through Digital Literacy

Google’s commitment to safety extends beyond technology to partnering with the community in ensuring that everyone is empowered with the right knowledge to navigate the online world.

To drive this, starting from the third quarter of 2026, Google will roll out its "Be Scam Ready" game in Bahasa Malaysia for Malaysia. This game immerses users in real-life scenarios to help them develop the critical thinking skills needed to spot a scam in the real world.

In addition, Google is working with the community to scale literacy around scams. As part of the regional Scam Ready ASEAN initiative, supported with US$5 million funding from Google.org, the ASEAN Foundation is scaling its impact right here in Malaysia. In collaboration with social change impact agency, Ratio:Cause and local partners, the program will reach over 200,000 Malaysians over the next two years with online scam prevention resources to navigate the digital world safely.

By employing a train-the-trainer model, the initiative empowers community leaders to build a network of experts and deliver localised training and awareness programmes for Malaysians, especially our youths and seniors. These efforts are reinforced by using interactive tools like the "Be Scam Ready" game, which builds digital resilience for everyone.

Beyond individual empowerment, the program also drives systemic impact by convening public and private sector leaders to share threat intelligence and strengthen policy coordination against digital fraud.

A smarter, more helpful AI powered Chrome arrives in Malaysia

2026-04-22T10:36:00.001+08:00

A smarter, more helpful AI powered Chrome arrives in Malaysia

We’re evolving the browsing experience by bringing Chrome’s powerful AI features to more regions and languages, helping millions of people get the most out of their browser.

Kuala Lumpur, April 21, 2026 - The browser is where we get work done, learn new things and connect with the world. But sometimes, the tasks we do online — like reading a long chemistry paper or just finding quick inspiration for dinner — can feel tedious and slow us down.

That’s why we’ve reimagined Chrome with built-in AI to help people seek and understand information. Today, we’re bringing many of Chrome's latest AI features, including Gemini in Chrome, to Malaysia.

Powered by our latest AI capabilities (Gemini 3.1), these browser enhancements will first be available on desktop and iOS. On Android, you can activate Gemini when using Chrome and other apps by holding the power button.

Here are the features to expect.

Interact with web content without switching tabs

Whether you need to synthesize a complex article or spark a new idea, you can now do so without losing your place on the web. With Chrome’s side panel, you can multi-task with ease and instantly get help with whatever you’re working on, without ever having to switch tabs. Just click the icon in the top right corner of your current tab and start chatting with your personalized browsing assistant

Gemini in Chrome is rolling out to all Mac, Windows and Chromebook Plus users

Chrome’s new AI enhanced capabilities can help you summarize lengthy web content, perform tasks like creating a pop quiz for your upcoming final, answer questions like “how can I make this recipe vegan?” and even remember pages you’ve previously visited so you can finally close the tabs you’ve set aside for later.

By connecting your workspace tools within the browser (such as Gmail, Maps, Calendar, YouTube and more), Chrome helps you act on information the moment you find it. With ease, you can schedule meetings on your Calendar, see location details from Maps and ask questions about YouTube videos.

Gemini in Chrome lets you easily see the key points of YouTube videos.

Integration with Gmail means you can even compose and send emails without leaving your current page. Just open the side panel and ask to send an email. Once it’s finished, you’ll have the option to make any necessary edits and then get it sent with a single click.

Gemini in Chrome works with other Google apps, such as Gmail, letting you draft and send emails directly from the side panel.

Get work done faster across tabs

Gemini in Chrome can work across multiple open tabs, so you can easily cross-reference and consolidate information into a single view. Planning a team building activity? Chrome can bring together all of your research to plan the perfect offsite ice breaker. Shopping for a vegan protein powder? No problem. You can easily create a table comparing the key details of products across sites, making shopping a breeze.

Gemini in Chrome can work with the context of multiple tabs.

Transform images on the web with Nano Banana

We’ve also built Nano Banana 2 directly into Chrome so you can transform images on the fly. All you need to do is type a prompt in the side panel to explain what you’re trying to do. Nano Banana 2 will do the rest, transforming the image without needing to upload files or open a new tab. For instance, with Nano Banana 2, you can become your own interior designer, mixing and matching furniture before ever making a purchase.

No need for copy-pasting or re-uploading; Gemini in Chrome uses Nano Banana to transform images in your current browser window.

Stay safe with Chrome’s security by design

These new capabilities are designed to keep you in control, and were built with security in mind from the start. We’ve trained our models to recognize known threats like prompt injection to keep you safe as you browse. We’ve also built safeguards to ask for confirmation before taking certain sensitive actions, like sending an email or adding an event to your calendar. To validate the security of Chrome’s layered defenses, we use automated red-teaming to continually strengthen our protections, and Chrome’s auto-update capabilities allow us to get fixes out to you quickly, so we can respond to the latest threats.

These are just some of the awesome new capabilities that represent the next chapter of Chrome in making the web more accessible and actionable to everyone in Malaysia. We’ll be adding more capabilities and expanding into even more regions and languages throughout the year, so stay tuned.

Google launches Personal Intelligence in the Gemini app in Malaysia

2026-04-14T21:00:00.010+08:00

Google launches Personal Intelligence in the Gemini app in Malaysia

Earlier this year, we introduced Personal Intelligence in the U.S. to show how Gemini can make life easier by learning what matters most to you. Today, we’re officially bringing that personalized experience to our users in Malaysia.

Personal Intelligence securely connects information from apps like Gmail and Google Photos to make Gemini uniquely helpful. If you turn it on, you control exactly which apps to link, and each one supercharges the experience. It connects Gmail, Photos, YouTube and Search in a single tap, and we’ve designed the setup to be simple and secure.

Personal Intelligence has two core strengths: reasoning across complex sources and retrieving specific details from, say, an email or photo to answer your question. It often combines these, working across text, photos and video to provide uniquely tailored answers.

To illustrate how this works, imagine you are planning a trip to Penang for the school holidays. You know you’ve received booking confirmations for your flight or train tickets and hotel stay, but the details are scattered across your digital life.

When you ask Gemini, “what are my travel plans for Penang?”, it goes beyond a simple search. By securely referencing Gmail, it pulls your booking details into a clear timeline. Because it understands your context from Photos, it can retrieve a screenshot you took of a map to a cafe in Georgetown or a photo of a souvenir idea you saved weeks ago. It can even suggest a nasi kandar spot based on a YouTube video you recently watched about where locals eat in Penang - saving you from digging through your history and multiple apps while you’re on the go.

How it works, and our approach to privacy

We built Personal Intelligence with privacy at the center. Connecting your apps is off by default: you choose to turn it on, decide exactly which apps to connect, and can turn it off anytime. When enabled, Gemini accesses your data to answer your specific requests and to do things for you. And because this data already lives at Google securely, you don't have to send sensitive data elsewhere to start personalizing your experience. This is a key differentiator.

You also won’t have to guess where an answer comes from: Gemini will try to reference or explain the information it used from your connected sources so you can verify it. If it doesn’t, you can ask it for more information. And if a response feels off, just correct it on the spot ("Remember, I prefer window seats"). You can also easily regenerate responses without personalization for a particular chat, or use temporary chats to have a conversation without personalization.

We also have guardrails for sensitive topics. Gemini aims to avoid making proactive assumptions about sensitive data like your health, though it will discuss this data with you if you ask.

Our goal is to improve your experience while keeping your data secure and under your control. Built with privacy in mind, Gemini doesn’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library. We train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses, to improve functionality over time.

Here’s what this means in this Penang example. The photos of your souvenir ideas, your booking confirmations in Gmail, and the videos you watched on YouTube are not directly used to train the model. They are referenced specifically to deliver your reply. We train the model using things like your specific prompts and responses, only after taking steps to filter or obfuscate personal data from the conversation you have with Gemini. In short, we don’t train our systems to “learn” your booking details; we train them to understand that when you ask for them, we can locate them.

You can read more about our privacy approach here. At any time, you can adjust settings, disconnect Google apps, or delete your chat history.

How you can help us improve

We’ve tested this beta version of Personal Intelligence extensively to minimize mistakes, but we haven't eliminated them. You may encounter inaccurate responses or “over-personalization,” where the model makes connections between unrelated topics. When you see this, please provide feedback by giving the response a “thumbs down.”

Gemini may also struggle with timing or nuance, particularly regarding relationship changes, like divorces, or your various interests. For instance, seeing hundreds of photos of you at a golf course might lead it to assume you love golf. But it misses the nuance: you don’t love golf, but you love your son, and that’s why you’re there. If Gemini gets this wrong, you can just tell it ("I don’t like golf").

These areas and more continue to be under active research and improvement. For a deeper look at our methodology, current limitations, and how we’re working to fix them, read this paper.

Google launches financial services verification in Malaysia to combat scams

New security safeguards for financial ads on Google to enhance digital safety for Malaysians

Kuala Lumpur, March 10, 2026 - To further protect Malaysians against financial scams, Google introduced new certification requirements for financial services advertisers targeting Malaysia. This financial services verification (FSV) adds a new layer of security to the existing financial products and services policy by ensuring that only legitimate, licensed financial service providers can reach users in Malaysia.

This comes at a critical time when financial scams are on the rise in Malaysia, with RM2.77 billion in losses from financial fraud in 2025 alone, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

In an effort to address this, starting from 14 April 2026, select advertisers of financial products and services will be required to complete a verification process before they can run ads on Google's platforms. As part of the verification process, financial services advertisers will need to demonstrate that they are authorised by Malaysian authorities, such as Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA), and have completed Google’s advertiser verification program in order to begin promoting their products and services.

FSV introduces a unique, structural layer of defense and directly supports the government's fight against financial fraud. It enforces local licensing standards at the point of advertising, effectively closing the loopholes that bad actors exploit to reach Malaysian citizens. It is already available in other countries like the UK, Singapore, and Australia.

What this means for advertisers required to verify:

Advertisers will be able to apply for verification through our compliance partner, G2, starting 10 March 2026, and the enforcement will go into effect on 14 April 2026.
Advertisers may initiate verification themselves.
Advertisers who provide or promote in-scope financial services must successfully complete the updated verification process by the time enforcement begins in order to show financial services ads to Malaysian users. This will include financial service advertisers, and non-financial services advertisers who are targeting users seeking financial services.
Advertisers that have not successfully completed the new verification process by 14 April, 2026 will no longer be allowed to show financial services ads.

“Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics to evade detection. That’s why we’re strengthening our defenses to ensure only authorised financial providers can reach users on Google. By partnering with authorities to enforce these stricter checks, we’re staying one step ahead of bad actors and giving Malaysians greater confidence when engaging with financial services online,” said Ben King, Country Managing Director, Google Malaysia

"MCMC welcomes this initiative by Google as it is a critical step in preventing financial scams from reaching Malaysians. Tackling digital fraud requires a whole-of-ecosystem approach, where technology platforms, regulators, and the public all play a role. Verifying the legitimacy of financial advertisers is essential to our goal of ensuring a safe and trusted digital environment for all Malaysians,” said Abdul Karim Fakir Ali, Managing Director of Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

FSV strengthens Google’s multi-layered defense system, which includes policies around Advertiser Identity Verification and Limited Ad Serving for high-risk categories. These are complemented by user-facing AI tools like Circle to Search and Google Lens, which help Malaysians detect potential scams in real-time.

Google 在马来西亚推出金融服务验证，以打击诈骗

Google 针对金融广告推出全新安全保障措施，提升大马人的数字安全

吉隆坡，2026年3月10日 —— 为了进一步保护大马人免受金融诈骗，Google 针对马来西亚金融广告商引入了新的认证要求。此金融服务验证 (Financial Services Verificaiton, FSV) 确保只有合法且持牌的金融服务提供商才能触及大马用户，为现有的金融产品和服务政策增加了一层新的安全障。

为了应对这一问题，从2026年4月14日起，特定金融产品和服务的广告商必须在完成验证程序后，才能在 Google 平台上投放广告。作为验证过程的一部分，金融服务广告商需要证明他们已获得马来西亚相关机构的授权，例如马来西亚国家银行 (BNM)、马来西亚证券委员会 (SC) 和纳闽金融服务管理局 (LFSA)，并且已经完成了 Google 的广告商验证计划，方可开始推广其产品和服务。

广告商将可从2026年3月10日起通过我们的合规合作伙伴 G2 申请验证，该规定将于2026年4月14日正式生效。

广告商可以自行发起验证。

若广告商所提供或推广的金融服务落在申请条件内，将必须在规定生效前成功完成更新的验证程序，才能向大马用户展示金融服务广告。这将包括金融服务广告商，以及目标受众为寻求金融服务的用户的非金融服务广告商。

在2026年4月14日之前未成功完成新验证程序的广告商，将不再被允许展示金融服务广告。

Google 马来西亚区董事总经理 Ben King 表示：”诈骗者不断改变策略以逃避检测。这就是为什么我们要加强防御，以确保只有经过授权的金融服务提供商才能在 Google 上接触到用户。通过与当局合作执行这些更严格的审查，我们能够领先不法分子一步，让大马人在进行线上金融服务互动时更有信心。“

马来西亚通讯及多媒体委员会 (MCMC) 董事总经理 Abdul Karim Fakir Ali 表示：”MCMC 欢迎 Google 采取的这项举措，因为这是防止金融诈骗触及大马人的关键一步。应对数字欺诈需要整个生态系统共同努力，科技平台、监管机构和公众都扮演着重要角色。验证金融广告商的合法性，对我们确保所有大马人拥有一个安全和值得信赖的数字环境的目标至关重要

FSV 加强了 Google 的多层防御系统，该系统包括关于广告商身份验证 (Advertiser Identity Verification) 和广告投放限制 (Limited Ad Serving) 的政策。这些措施与画圈搜索 (Circle to Search) 和 Google Lens 等面向用户的 AI 工具相辅相成，帮助大马人实时检测潜在的诈骗。

Google melancarkan pengesahan perkhidmatan kewangan di Malaysia untuk memerangi penipuan

Langkah perlindungan keselamatan baharu untuk iklan kewangan di platform Google bagi memperkukuh keselamatan digital rakyat Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, Mac 10, 2026 - Untuk terus melindungi rakyat Malaysia daripada penipuan kewangan, Google telah memperkenalkan keperluan pensijilan baharu bagi pengiklan perkhidmatan kewangan yang menyasarkan Malaysia. Pengesahan perkhidmatan kewangan (Financial Services Verification, FSV) ini menambah lapisan keselamatan baharu kepada dasar produk dan perkhidmatan kewangan sedia ada dengan memastikan bahawa hanya penyedia perkhidmatan kewangan yang sah dan berlesen sahaja dapat menjangkau pengguna di Malaysia.

Langkah ini diperkenalkan pada saat yang kritikal di kala kes penipuan kewangan semakin berleluasa di Malaysia, dengan kerugian akibat penipuan kewangan mencecah RM2.77 billion pada tahun 2025 sahaja, menurut Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN).

Sebagai usaha untuk menangani isu ini, bermula 14 April 2026, pengiklan produk dan perkhidmatan kewangan terpilih akan dikehendaki melengkapkan proses pengesahan sebelum mereka boleh menyiarkan iklan di platform Google. Sebagai sebahagian daripada proses pengesahan tersebut, pengiklan perkhidmatan kewangan perlu membuktikan bahawa mereka diberi kuasa oleh pihak berkuasa Malaysia, seperti Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia (SC) dan Lembaga Perkhidmatan Kewangan Labuan (LFSA), serta telah melengkapkan program pengesahan pengiklan Google untuk mula mempromosikan produk dan perkhidmatan mereka.

FSV memperkenalkan lapisan pertahanan berstruktur yang unik serta menyokong secara langsung usaha kerajaan dalam memerangi penipuan kewangan. Ia menguatkuasakan piawaian pelesenan tempatan pada peringkat pengiklanan, sekali gus menutup kelompangan yang sering dieksploitasi oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab untuk mendekati rakyat Malaysia secara berkesan. Inisiatif ini telah pun dilaksanakan di negara-negara lain seperti United Kingdom (UK), Singapura, dan Australia.

Implikasi kepada pengiklan yang perlu melengkapkan pengesahan:

Pengiklan boleh memohon pengesahan melalui rakan pematuhan kami, G2, bermula 10 Mac 2026, dan penguatkuasaan akan berkuat kuasa pada 14 April 2026.

Pengiklan boleh memulakan proses pengesahan sendiri.

Pengiklan yang menyediakan atau mempromosikan perkhidmatan kewangan dalam skop yang ditetapkan mesti melengkapkan proses pengesahan baharu ini dengan jayanya sebelum penguatkuasaan bermula untuk menyiarkan iklan perkhidmatan kewangan kepada pengguna di Malaysia. Ini merangkumi pengiklan perkhidmatan kewangan, serta pengiklan perkhidmatan bukan kewangan yang menyasarkan pengguna yang mencari perkhidmatan kewangan.

Pengiklan yang gagal melengkapkan proses pengesahan baharu ini menjelang 14 April 2026 tidak lagi dibenarkan untuk menyiarkan iklan perkhidmatan kewangan.

“Golongan penipu sentiasa mengubah taktik mereka untuk mengelak daripada dikesan. Itulah sebabnya kami memperkukuh sistem pertahanan kami bagi memastikan hanya penyedia perkhidmatan kewangan yang sah sahaja dapat menjangkau pengguna di Google. Melalui kerjasama dengan pihak berkuasa untuk menguatkuasakan pemeriksaan yang lebih ketat ini, kami dapat mendahului pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab dan memberikan keyakinan yang lebih tinggi kepada rakyat Malaysia apabila berurusan dengan perkhidmatan kewangan dalam talian,” kata Ben King, Pengarah Urusan Negara, Google Malaysia.

“MCMC menyambut baik inisiatif Google ini kerana ia merupakan langkah kritikal dalam menghalang penipuan kewangan daripada menjangkau rakyat Malaysia. Menangani penipuan digital memerlukan pendekatan 'keseluruhan ekosistem' (whole-of-ecosystem), di mana platform teknologi, pengawal selia, dan orang awam semuanya memainkan peranan masing-masing. Memastikan kesahihan pengiklan kewangan adalah amat penting bagi matlamat kami untuk menjamin persekitaran digital yang selamat dan dipercayai untuk semua rakyat Malaysia,” kata Abdul Karim Fakir Ali, Pengarah Urusan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC).

FSV memperkukuh sistem pertahanan pelbagai lapisan Google, yang merangkumi dasar mengenai Pengesahan Identiti Pengiklan dan Penyiaran Iklan Terhad bagi kategori berisiko tinggi. Langkah-langkah ini dilengkapi dengan alat AI yang berorientasikan pengguna seperti Circle to Search dan Google Lens, yang membantu rakyat Malaysia mengesan potensi penipuan dalam masa nyata.

Enabling Gemini for Education across all Malaysian public universities

2026-03-09T11:30:00.001+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 MARCH 2026 – Today marks a significant milestone for education in Malaysia: All 20 public universities have officially enabled Gemini for Education within their academic and administrative frameworks, reaching nearly 600,000 students and 75,000 faculty members. As part of their existing Google Workspace for Education environment, these universities now have access to Gemini for Education, providing the entire academic community with secure, AI-powered assistance for research and learning. The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has further equipped 40,000 faculty members with Google AI Pro for Education for expanded access to our premium AI models, alongside providing NotebookLM Enterprise to 128,000 students to supercharge their research and writing. This initiative supports Malaysia’s goal to become an AI-driven nation by 2030.

Through these initiatives, students and lecturers in public universities in Malaysia now have access to Gemini 3.1 Pro — our most advanced reasoning model — infused with LearnLM — our family of pedagogical models fine-tuned for learning. They can explore features like Guided Learning, which acts as a collaborative thinking partner to help students build a deep understanding of concepts instead of just getting quick answers, and Deep Research, their personal research assistant.

Beyond access to technology, we are providing robust training to help students and faculty develop AI literacy. Initiatives like Gemilang, Google Skills platform, free Google AI courses, Gemini Certification for University Students, and Google Career Launchpad are designed to help users boost efficiency, personalize learning, and prepare for the workforce.

Here are some examples of how key Malaysian institutions are using Google AI tools.

Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP): Personalizing education with Gems

UniMAP is personalizing learning for students through Gems, personalized versions of Gemini you can build and customize to be experts on any topic without any coding. A pioneer lecturer at the university built a bespoke Gem that serves as a specialized, on-demand study partner for his Integrated Circuits Design and MEMS Design and Fabrication students in the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Technology. The Gem guides them through their specific curriculum, creating a more interactive and personal learning experience.

Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM): Deep Research and digital etiquette

In the Introduction to New Media Communications course at USIM, students use Gemini’s Deep Research capabilities and NotebookLM to analyze social media content and study digital etiquette. They also use NotebookLM for self-directed learning by uploading lecture notes to instantly generate study guides, summaries, and sample quiz questions to prepare for exams.

Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM): Research-backed success with NotebookLM

Research conducted at UPM shows that AI tools like NotebookLM are bridging literacy gaps and building student confidence. Undergraduates use it to enhance literature reviews and even generate podcasts from study materials, which has boosted positive attitudes toward technology and reduced resistance to academic research. This approach has strengthened UPM’s leadership in flexible learning while ensuring students remain competitive and efficient in a global landscape.

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS): Leading with community

UNIMAS is training more than 500 lecturers in Google Workspace for Education and certifying 120 as Gemini Certified Educators. This progress extends to students, too, with nearly 500 earning certifications. By pairing powerful, secure AI tools with comprehensive training, we're working alongside the MOHE to help equip students and educators with the skills they need for the future. This collaboration is a key part of supporting Malaysia's vision, and we look forward to seeing what this new generation of thinkers, creators and leaders will build.

Year in Search 2025: What Malaysians Searched and Followed This Year

2025-12-09T10:41:00.000+08:00

Year in Search 2025: What Malaysians Searched and Followed This Year

From AI breakthroughs to local dramas, and keeping up with national events, and viral personalities — here’s what shaped Malaysia’s search behaviour in 2025

Kuala Lumpur, December 8, 2025 - As Malaysians wrap up another year of rapid change, cultural shifts and digital transformation, Google’s Year in Search 2025 provides a unique lens into what mattered most to the nation. From government initiatives that directly impacted households, to AI tools that became everyday essentials, to dramas, personalities and blockbusters that sparked nationwide conversations, this year’s trending searches reflect the heartbeat of Malaysia in 2025.

Turning to Search to Navigate Living Costs and Welfare

In 2025, Malaysians turned to Google to navigate rising living costs, new government rollouts and updated welfare programmes, alongside staying informed about emerging technologies that could improve their daily lives.

Rahmah Cash Contribution (#2 Searches, #1 News) remained a topic of interest, as a key form of financial assistance for many Malaysian households. Welfare and social assistance program like MyKasih (#3 Searches, #2 News) and targeted fuel subsidy scheme such as Budi95 (#6 Searches, #3 News) also saw significant spikes, as families sought clarity around eligibility, disbursement schedules and application steps. Meanwhile, E-Pembelajaran Sektor Awam (Public Sector E-Learning) (#7 Searches) and mySalam (#10 Searches) continued to draw strong interest, especially for civil servants seeking upskilling opportunities and B40 households looking for dependable health coverage information respectively.

The year’s biggest local news moments, ranging from the Putra Heights pipeline explosion (#8 News) to the Southern Selangor floods (#9 News), dominated national attention as Malaysians increasingly relied on Search for real-time updates, road closures and safety information.

AI Takes Centre Stage in Everyday Malaysian Life

Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, (#1 Searches) topped the overall trending list, reflecting Malaysians’ growing reliance on AI for work, learning and decision-making. Users were also getting creative with tools like Pixverse AI (#6) to create hyper-realistic visual content, short-form videos and animation for work, studies and social media.

In fact, Malaysians are among the most active AI users in ASEAN, with three in four Malaysian digital consumers interacting with Generative AI tools daily. This surge in AI interest signifies Malaysia’s wider push towards digitalization — from students using chatbots for schoolwork, to SMEs adopting AI for marketing and customer support, to creators using AI for content production.

Movies and Dramas that Captivated the Nation

Malaysians once again proved their deep connection to both Hollywood and Asian cinema, with Blood Brothers (#1 Movies), Superman (#2) and Thunderbolts (#3) dominating the charts as passionate fan communities fuelled waves of anticipation and online conversations. People of all ages were dancing along to the tracks of KPop Demon Hunters (#7), while younger audiences fuelled the popularity of A Minecraft Movie (#9), and beloved franchises like Jurassic World Rebirth (#10) and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (#6) resurfaced as major crowd-pullers.

Closer to home, dramas such as Keluarga Itu (#7 Drama) and Dia Bukan Syurga (#10 Drama) reflected Malaysians’ enduring appetite for relatable family themes, local humour and emotional storytelling.

On the drama front, global hits like Squid Game (#1 Drama) kept Malaysian audiences at the edge of their seats and Emerald Hill (翠山小娘惹, #3 Drama), brought them through a journey of cultural nostalgia.

Personalities Who Captivated Malaysians in 2025

Malaysians’ search behaviour this year demonstrated a vibrant mix of entertainment, global issues and cultural moments, with personalities ranging from international figures to regional and homegrown talents. Locally, Amira thman (#1 People) saw a surge in attention driven by her new music release and renewed focus on her personal life.

Globally, climate advocate Greta Thunberg (#7 People) drew heightened searches as Malaysians followed updates surrounding her recent situation, while regional favourite Luna Maya (#8 People), one of Indonesia’s most recognisable entertainment figures, attracted increased interest as news of her marriage became a major talking point. Beyond personalities, nostalgia rose as fans revisited iconic acts like My Chemical Romance (#9 People) following the announcement of their Kuala Lumpur concert and the addition of a second show.

Ben King, Managing Director, Google Malaysia & Singapore said, “Year in Search truly takes the pulse of Malaysia – from national milestones to seeking the best entertainment and trending personalities. We are also seeing a shift in the way people search. They are now seeking not just answers, but deeper context and quicker insights. By introducing features like AI Mode, we are reimagining what Search can do to help Malaysians navigate their world faster and stay helpful across moments big and small.”

AI Menjadi Sebahagian Kehidupan Seharian Rakyat Malaysia
Assistant kecerdasan buatan (AI) Google, Gemini, (#1 Carian) mengungguli carta trending keseluruhan - mencerminkan peningkatan kebergantungan rakyat Malaysia terhadap AI untuk kerja, pembelajaran dan membuat keputusan.

Rakyat Malaysia merupakan antara pengguna AI yang paling aktif di rantau ASEAN, dengan tiga daripada empat pengguna digital di Malaysia berinteraksi dengan alat AI Generatif (Generative AI) setiap hari.

Filem dan Drama yang Menarik Minat Rakyat Malaysia

Rakyat Malaysia sekali lagi membuktikan hubungan mendalam terhadap filem Hollywood dan Asia, dengan Blood Brothers (#1 Filem), Superman (#2) and Thunderbolts (#3) mendominasi carta di kala peminat tegar mencetuskan gelombang keterujaan dan perbualan dalam talian. Rakyat Malaysia dari semua peringkat umur turut menari mengikut lagu-lagu KPop Demon Hunters (#7), sementara penonton yang lebih muda meningkatkan populariti A Minecraft Movie (#9), dan francais kegemaran seperti Jurassic World Rebirth (#10) dan Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (#6) muncul semula sebagai penarik utama penonton.

Drama tempatan seperti Keluarga Itu (#7 Drama) and Dia Bukan Syurga (#10 Drama) mencerminkan citarasa rakyat Malaysia untuk tema kekeluargaan yang mereka boleh kaitkan, jenaka tempatan dan penceritaan yang beremosi.

Di samping itu, drama global seperti Squid Game (#1 Drama) terus memastikan rakyat Malaysia berada di hujung kerusi mereka dan Emerald Hill (翠山小娘惹, #3 Drama), membawa mereka mengharungi perjalanan penuh budaya dan nostalgia.

Personaliti yang Mencuri Tumpuan Rakyat Malaysia pada Tahun 2025

Corak carian rakyat Malaysia tahun ini menunjukkan campuran antara hiburan, isu global dan momen budaya, dengan personaliti yang merangkumi tokoh antarabangsa, serantau dan bakat tempatan. Di Malaysia, Amira Othman (#1 People) memperlihatkan peningkatan minat yang ketara susulan keluaran muzik baharu dan perhatian yang kembali tertumpu kepada kehidupan peribadinya.

Di peringkat global, advokat iklim, Greta Thunberg (#7 People) mendorong peningkatan carian di kala rakyat Malaysia mengikuti perkembangan mengenai keadaan terkininya, sementara bintang serantau, Luna Maya (#8 People), figura hiburan Indonesia yang paling dikenali, menarik minat di kala berita mengenai perkahwinannya menjadi tumpuan. Di sebalik personaliti, nostalgia mengimbau di kala para peminat kembali mengikuti artis seperti My Chemical Romance (#9 People) selepas pengumuman konsert mereka di Kuala Lumpur dan penambahan hari kedua.

Ben King, Pengarah Urusan Google Malaysia & Singapura, berkata, “Year in Search benar-benar mengambil denyut nadi Malaysia - dari pencapaian nasional hingga mencari hiburan terbaik dan personaliti yang tular.

e-Conomy SEA report 2025: Malaysia’s digital economy is Southeast Asia’s fastest growing, projected to reach US$39 billion in 2025

e-Conomy SEA report 2025: Malaysia’s digital economy is Southeast Asia’s fastest growing, projected to reach US$39 billion in 2025

Online travel, cashless payments and AI infrastructure fuel Malaysia’s next stage of digital growth

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 November 2025 – Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company today launched the 10th edition of the e-Conomy SEA Report 2025, revealing that Malaysia is now the fastest-growing digital economy in Southeast Asia with an increase of 19% year-on-year (YoY), and on track to reach Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) US$39 billion (approximately RM161 billion) this year. This shift towards resilient growth is supported by sustained consumer adoption and stable macroeconomic conditions, including contained inflation.

At the regional level, Southeast Asia’s (SEA) digital economy is projected to surpass US$300 billion (approximately RM1.24 trillion) in GMV by 2025, growing 15% YoY and outperforming the region’s first forecast by 1.5 times. As the world’s fifth largest economy with a population of over 680 million, Southeast Asia has rapidly digitalized over the past decade, showing strong resilience and monetization capabilities despite global headwinds such as COVID-19, inflation and supply-chain pressures.

Key findings in the Malaysia report:

1. Malaysia’s performance this year is underpinned by the strength and maturity of its digital economy

Online travel recorded 19% growth in GMV, the fastest in SEA, driven by improved air connectivity, visa liberalization measures and large-scale digital tourism campaigns building momentum ahead of ‘Visit Malaysia 2026’. With inbound travel accelerating more than 20% YoY in the first half of 2025, Malaysia is benefitting from both rising traveller volumes and higher-value trips as visitors opt for better-quality and digitally enabled travel experiences. These trends reflect a digital sector that is increasingly defined by stable adoption, efficiency and deeper value creation across both consumers and businesses.

Ecommerce continues to expand at a healthy pace, making up the biggest driver of the country’s digital economy, reaching US$20 billion (approximately RM83.3 billion) by 2025. The sector has grown 21% YoY in GMV, the second-fastest rate in SEA. This was supported by rising platform consolidation with large regional players leveraging significant economies of scale, and expanding video commerce engagement that converted attention into sales with minimal friction.

Digital Financial Services (DFS) show continued double-digit growth, with digital payments set to reach US$213 billion (approximately RM887 billion) in Gross Transaction Value (GTV) by 2025. This momentum is driven by Malaysia’s rapid shift toward cashless payments, including a 28% surge in digital payment usage reported by Bank Negara Malaysia, and cross-border acceptance has scaled significantly with the DuitNow QR standard now interoperable across an increasing number of SEA markets.

2. Malaysia’s rise as one of Southeast Asia’s core AI and digital infrastructure hub

Malaysia’s digital economy is also strengthened by strong investments in digital infrastructure. Data centre capacity has increased to 690 MW in H1 this year from 120 MW in 2024, and plans have been reported to further increase capacity by 350%. This represents half of all planned regional capacity. In 2024, Google has also committed a US$2 billion investment in the country, including the development of its first Google data center and Google Cloud region to meet the growing demand for AI-ready cloud services locally and around the world.

3. Positive investment climate, driven by funding and IPO activity and strong investments in digital infrastructure.

The country captured 32% of all private AI funding across SEA, at US$759 million (approximately RM3.14 billion), supported by major digital financial services deals. Malaysia also led Southeast Asia in IPO activity, contributing half of the region’s listings over the last 12 months. This uptick in exits signals a more stable investor environment, reinforcing Malaysia’s position as a competitive destination for high-growth technology companies and digital expansion.

Investor sentiment is optimistic, with nearly two-thirds (64%) of surveyed investors expecting funding activity in the country to rise through 2030, particularly in software, services, AI and deep tech.

Ben King, Managing Director, Google Malaysia & Singapore said, “Malaysia’s digital economy is showcasing a positive growth trajectory. This momentum is fueled by several critical factors – robust sector growth, a healthy funding landscape, and strong digital infrastructure investments. But it is high AI adoption that is accelerating this progress. With three in four Malaysian digital consumers having used Gen AI tools, this strong daily engagement is laying a solid foundation for the next phase of AI-powered growth. In line with the nation’s goal of becoming a regional digital leader by 2030, Google remains fully committed to supporting Malaysia’s ambition to build an inclusive, innovative, and AI-ready digital economy."

“Southeast Asia’s digital economy has shown extraordinary growth and remarkable resilience, sustaining momentum despite periods of investor caution and a shifting macroeconomic landscape over the last decade. Malaysia now stands at the forefront as Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economy, on track to reach US$39 billion in GMV by 2025. Powered by robust growth across ecommerce, online travel, cashless payments, and expanding AI-ready infrastructure, Malaysia is cementing its position as a digital leader in the region. The real opportunity now lies in how businesses harness AI as a catalyst for impact while building on Malaysia’s strong digital foundations,” said Amanda Chin, Partner, Bain & Company.

Malaysia’s digital progress is expected to bring meaningful benefits to consumers and businesses including improved travel services, broader access to secure and convenient digital financial solutions, and expanding opportunities in AI, cloud services and digital skills development.

Laporan e-Conomy SEA 2025: Ekonomi digital Malaysia paling pesat berkembang di Asia Tenggara, dijangka capai US$39 bilion pada 2025

Pelancongan atas talian, pembayaran tanpa tunai dan infrastruktur AI memacu perkembangan digital negara

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 November 2025 – Google, Temasek, dan Bain & Company hari ini melancarkan edisi ke-10 laporan e-Conomy SEA yang menunjukkan Malaysia kini sebagai ekonomi digital yang paling pesat berkembang di Asia Tenggara dengan peningkatan tahun-ke-tahun sebanyak 19%, dan berada di landasan yang tepat untuk mencapai Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) sebanyak US$39 bilion (kira-kira RM161 bilion) tahun ini. Peralihan ke arah pertumbuhan mampan ini didorong oleh kadar penggunaan digital yang kekal tinggi dalam kalangan pengguna serta persekitaran makroekonomi yang stabil, termasuk kadar inflasi yang terkawal.

Di peringkat serantau, ekonomi digital Asia Tenggara dijangka melepasi US$300 bilion (kira-kira RM1.24 trilion) dalam GMV menjelang 2025, dengan pertumbuhan 15% tahun-ke-tahun dan mengatasi unjuran pertama rantau ini sebanyak 1.5 kali ganda. Sebagai ekonomi kelima terbesar dunia dengan populasi melebihi 680 juta, Asia Tenggara telah melalui proses pendigitalan yang pesat dalam sedekad lalu, menunjukkan ketahanan dan keupayaan penjanaan pendapatan yang kukuh walaupun berdepan cabaran global seperti COVID-19, inflasi dan tekanan rantaian bekalan.

Dapatan utama dalam laporan Malaysia:

1. Prestasi Malaysia tahun ini didorong oleh kekuatan dan kematangan ekonomi digitalnya

Sektor pelancongan dalam talian mencatat pertumbuhan GMV sebanyak 19%, iaitu yang terpantas di Asia Tenggara, didorong oleh peningkatan perhubungan udara, langkah pelonggaran visa dan kempen pelancongan digital berskala besar yang semakin rancak menjelang ‘Visit Malaysia 2026’. Dengan ketibaan pelancong antarabangsa meningkat lebih 20% tahun-ke-tahun pada separuh pertama 2025, Malaysia meraih manfaat daripada jumlah pelancong yang lebih tinggi serta perbelanjaan yang lebih besar apabila pelawat memilih pengalaman perjalanan yang lebih berkualiti dan berteraskan digital. Tren ini menggambarkan sektor digital yang semakin dibentuk oleh kadar penggunaan yang stabil, kecekapan yang lebih baik, dan penciptaan nilai yang lebih mendalam dalam kalangan pengguna serta perniagaan.

E-dagang terus berkembang pada kadar yang sihat dan kekal sebagai penyumbang terbesar kepada ekonomi digital negara, dijangka mencecah US$20 bilion (kira-kira RM83.3 bilion) menjelang 2025. Sektor ini mencatat pertumbuhan 21% tahun-ke-tahun dalam GMV, kadar kedua terpantas di Asia Tenggara. Pertumbuhan ini didorong oleh penyatuan platform yang semakin meningkat apabila pemain besar serantau memanfaatkan skala ekonomi, serta penglibatan video commerce yang berjaya menukar perhatian kepada jualan dengan halangan yang minimum.

Perkhidmatan Kewangan Digital (Digital Financial Services, DFS) terus menunjukkan pertumbuhan dua angka, dengan pembayaran digital dijangka mencecah US$213 bilion (kira-kira RM887 bilion) dalam Gross Transaction Value (GTV) menjelang 2025. Momentum ini dipacu oleh peralihan pesat Malaysia ke arah pembayaran tanpa tunai, termasuk peningkatan 28% dalam penggunaan pembayaran digital seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia. Selain itu, penerimaan rentas sempadan turut berkembang dengan ketara apabila standard DuitNow QR kini boleh beroperasi merentasi semakin banyak pasaran di Asia Tenggara.

2. Kedudukan Malaysia sebagai salah satu hab teras AI dan infrastruktur digital di Asia Tenggara kian menyerlah.

Ekonomi digital Malaysia turut diperkukuh melalui pelaburan besar dalam infrastruktur digital. Kapasiti pusat data telah meningkat kepada 690 MW pada separuh pertama tahun ini berbanding 120 MW pada 2024, dan terdapat perancangan untuk meningkatkan kapasiti tersebut sebanyak 350%, mewakili separuh daripada keseluruhan kapasiti yang dirancang di peringkat serantau. Pada 2024, Google turut mengumumkan komitmen pelaburan sebanyak US$2 bilion di Malaysia, termasuk pembangunan pusat data Google pertama dan Google Cloud region bagi memenuhi permintaan yang semakin meningkat terhadap perkhidmatan awan berkeupayaan AI di dalam dan luar negara.

3. Iklim pelaburan yang positif dipacu oleh pembiayaan dan aktiviti IPO yang rancak serta pelaburan kukuh dalam infrastruktur digital.

Malaysia meraih 32% daripada keseluruhan pembiayaan AI swasta di Asia Tenggara, berjumlah US$759 juta (kira-kira RM3.14 bilion), didorong oleh beberapa urus niaga besar dalam sektor perkhidmatan kewangan digital. Malaysia juga menerajui aktiviti IPO di rantau ini, menyumbang separuh daripada keseluruhan penyenaraian dalam tempoh 12 bulan lalu. Peningkatan aktiviti keluar (exits) ini menandakan persekitaran pelaburan yang lebih stabil, sekali gus mengukuhkan kedudukan Malaysia sebagai destinasi kompetitif untuk syarikat teknologi berimpak tinggi dan pengembangan digital.

Sentimen pelabur kekal positif, dengan hampir dua pertiga (64%) pelabur yang disoal selidik menjangkakan peningkatan aktiviti pembiayaan di Malaysia sehingga tahun 2030, terutamanya dalam sektor perisian, perkhidmatan, AI dan teknologi mendalam (deep tech).

2025年《e-Conomy SEA 报告》：马来西亚数字经济增速全东南亚第一，2025年预计达390亿美元

在线旅游、无现金支付及AI基础设施助推马来西亚下一阶段数字增长

2025年11月25日，吉隆坡 - Google、淡马锡（Temasek）和贝恩策略顾问公司（Bain & Company）今日联合发布第10版《2025年 e-Conomy SEA 报告》。报告显示，马来西亚已成为东南亚增长最快的数字经济体，按年增长率（YoY）达到19%，预计今年的商品交易总额（GMV）将达到390亿美元（约1610亿令吉）。这一强劲的增长势头得益于持续的消费者采用率以及通胀受控等稳定的宏观经济条件。

从区域层面来看，东南亚（SEA）的数字经济GMV预计将在2025年突破3000亿美元（约1.24兆令吉*），按年增长15%，表现超出该地区最初预测的1.5倍。作为拥有超过6.8亿人口的世界第五大经济体，东南亚在过去十年中迅速实现数字化，尽管面临新冠疫情、通胀和供应链压力等全球逆风，仍展现出强大的韧性和变现能力。

马来西亚报告主要发现：

马来西亚今年的表现归功于其数字经济的实力与成熟度

在线旅游录得19%的GMV增长，增速位居东南亚之首。这主要得益于航空连通性的改善、签证放宽措施以及为“2026马来西亚旅游年”（Visit Malaysia 2026）造势的大规模数字旅游宣传。2025年上半年，入境旅游增长超过20%，随着游客倾向于更高质量和数字化的旅游体验，马来西亚正从游客数量增加和高价值行程中双重受益。这些趋势反映出数字旅游领域正通过稳定的采用率、效率提升以及为消费者和企业创造更深层价值而日益成熟。

电子商务继续保持健康扩张步伐，是国家数字经济的最大驱动力，预计到2025年将达到200亿美元（约833亿令吉）。该领域的GMV按年增长21%，增速在东南亚排名第二。这得益于平台整合度的提高（大型区域参与者利用显著的规模经济优势），以及视频电商参与度的扩大，这种模式正以极低的摩擦力将用户注意力转化为实际销售。

数字金融服务持续呈现双位数增长，数字支付的总交易值（GTV）预计到2025年将达到2130亿美元（约8870亿令吉）。这一势头由马来西亚向无现金支付的快速转变所推动，根据马来西亚国家银行的报告，数字支付使用量激增了28%。此外，随着 DuitNow QR 标准在越来越多东南亚市场的互通，跨境支付的接受度也显著扩大。

马来西亚崛起成为东南亚核心AI与数字基础设施中心

强劲的数字基础设施投资进一步巩固了马来西亚的数字经济。数据中心容量已从2024年的120兆瓦（MW）激增至今年上半年的690兆瓦；据报道，计划中的容量还将进一步增长350%。这占据了整个区域规划容量的一半。2024年，Google 也承诺在该国投资20亿美元，包括建设其首个 Google 数据中心和 Google Cloud 区域，以满足本地及全球对具备AI能力的云服务日益增长的需求。

积极的投资环境：受资金、IPO活动及数字基建强力投资驱动

马来西亚囊括了东南亚32%的私人AI融资，总额达7.59亿美元（约31.4亿令吉），主要由大型数字金融服务交易支持。马来西亚在首次公开募股（IPO）活动方面也领跑东南亚，在过去12个月中贡献了该地区一半的上市数量。这种退出机制（exits）的增加标志着投资者环境更加稳定，进一步巩固了马来西亚作为高增长科技公司和数字扩张竞争目的地的地位。

投资者情绪保持乐观，近三分之二（64%）的受访投资者预计该国的融资活动将持续增长至2030年，特别是在软件、服务、AI和深科技（deep tech）领域。

Google 马来西亚与新加坡董事总经理 Ben King 表示：“马来西亚的数字经济展现出积极的增长轨迹。在强劲的消费者采用率、稳健的行业板块以及强大的数字基础设施投资的推动下，马来西亚正在构建一个日益复杂且具全球竞争力的数字生态系统。AI 的高采用率也在加速这一进程，四分之三的马来西亚数字消费者已使用过生成式 AI（Gen AI）工具，且精通数字技术的用户日常参与度极高，这为下一阶段由 AI 驱动的增长奠定了坚实基础。为了配合国家在2030年成为区域数字领袖的目标，我们依然致力于支持马来西亚打造一个包容、创新且具备AI就绪能力的数字经济雄心。”

贝恩公司（Bain & Company）合伙人陈异媚表示：“东南亚的数字经济在过去十年中展现了非凡的增长和卓越的韧性，尽管面临投资者谨慎期和宏观经济环境变化，仍保持了强劲势头。马来西亚目前站在最前沿，作为东南亚增长最快的数字经济体，有望在2025年实现390亿美元的 GMV。在电子商务、在线旅游、无现金支付的强劲增长以及不断扩展的 AI 基础设施的推动下，马来西亚正在巩固其作为区域数字领袖的地位。现在的真正机遇在于企业如何在马来西亚强大的数字基础上，利用 AI 作为催化剂来创造实质性的影响。”

马来西亚的数字化进程预计将为消费者和企业带来实质性的利益，包括改善旅游服务、更广泛地获得安全便捷的数字金融解决方案，以及在 AI、云服务和数字技能发展方面不断扩大的机会。

By working with organisations like the Content Forum, we are adding a crucial layer of local expertise, which deepens our ability to respond to harmful content with relevance and precision. The Priority Flagger Program reinforces our commitment to empowering trusted partners and helping keep our platforms safe for everyone, everywhere.”

Mediha Mahmood, CEO of Communications and Multimedia Content Forum said, “Being part of Google’s and YouTube’s Priority Flagger Programs marks a meaningful advancement in how we support content safety in Malaysia.

Google Pay rolls out integration of eWallets – ShopeePay and TNG eWallet – for Android users in Malaysia

2025-04-22T15:18:00.033+08:00

This integration with Google Pay will enable Android users to pay on mobile sites with their preferred eWallet at participating merchants.
Users can also top up their preferred eWallet directly through Google Pay.

Google announced the integration of ShopeePay and TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner) with Google Pay in Malaysia, marking Google Pay's first eWallet integrations in Southeast Asia. This new feature will enable Android users in Malaysia to checkout seamlessly with their preferred eWallets when shopping on mobile sites via Google Chrome, starting with selected online merchants.

This initial integration features ShopeePay and TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner), and will expand to support more partners in the future.

With 88% of Malaysians using eWallets in 2024, this Google Pay integration helps make online payments more convenient and secure. By incorporating the popular eWallets that Malaysians use daily, Google Pay now offers consumers more choices in addition to card payments and extends cashless payments to the underbanked, fostering a more inclusive digital payment ecosystem.

Farhan S. Qureshi, Country Director, Google Malaysia said, “We are excited to bring this new Google Pay feature first to Malaysia, a market with a thriving digital payment landscape and a strong appetite for eWallet adoption. By integrating with trusted local platforms like ShopeePay and TNG eWallet, we are localising Google Pay to match their everyday payment preferences, and delivering a frictionless and secure manner when shopping on their favourite mobile sites on Google Chrome. As the first market in the region to offer this integration, Malaysia also has the potential to set a new standard for digital payment innovation across Southeast Asia."

Bringing more convenience to Malaysians

Users can select the Google Pay button at checkout (top) or select “eWallet” when prompted in Chrome (bottom)

This integration of Google Pay with widely used local eWallets offers Malaysians a more efficient experience for their everyday online transactions, including shopping, food delivery, and bill payments.

Cara beruang matahari di Asia Tenggara diselamatkan dan dipantau dengan Google Earth

2025-03-03T10:11:00.012+08:00

Cara beruang matahari di Asia Tenggara diselamatkan dan dipantau dengan Google Earth
Ditulis oleh: Raleigh Seamster, Pengurus Kanan Program, Google Earth Outreach

Beruang matahari di Asia tenggara sangat sesuai untuk persekitaran hutan mereka: padat, omnivor, dan dibina untuk memanjat pokok. Tidak seperti beruang Amerika Utara, beruang matahari menghabiskan sebahagian besar hidupnya di kanopi hutan, tidak lebih daripada mencari tempat yang baik untuk tidur di atas pokok.

Tetapi kehidupan beruang matahari penuh dengan cabaran, seperti mencari makanan secara berterusan dan ancaman daripada beruang matahari lain yang bersaing untuk mendapatkan wilayah. Dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini, ancaman yang lebih berbahaya telah muncul: manusia yang menebang hutan, menceroboh habitat beruang matahari dengan pembangunan, dan memburu mereka untuk dijadikan makanan atau haiwan peliharaan.

Melihat beruang matahari yang dikurung serta keadaan di mana ia dipelihara, memberi kesan mendalam kepada ahli biologi hidupan liar Malaysia, Wong Siew Te dan memberikan inspirasi untuk penubuhannya Pusat Pemuliharaan Beruang Matahari Borneo (BSBCC) di Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Wong menjadi pakar dalam kajian beruang matahari semasa belajar di Universiti Montana, di mana beliau mengembara ke Borneo untuk mengkaji spesies ini di habitat semula jadi mereka. Apa yang ditemuinya adalah populasi beruang liar yang terancam dan spesies yang sering disalah fahami di peringkat tempatan, dan hampir tidak dikenali serta kurang dihargai di peringkat global.

Gambar ihsan dari Pusat Pemuliharaan Beruang Matahari Borneo

Di hutan tebal, mencari tanda beruang matahari

Untuk mencapai matlamat pemuliharaan beruang matahari, tugas BSBCC bergantung pada lima teras: kebajikan, pemulihan, pendidikan, penyelidikan dan ekopelancongan. Pada peringkat awal, organisasi Wong diberikan kuasa untuk menyita beruang matahari yang dipelihara secara haram; hanya lebih 40 ekor beruang pada masa ini membentuk populasi beruang yang disimpan di rizab seluas 4,200 hektar bersebelahan dengan bangunan Pusat Pemuliharaan. Menyelamatkan beruang terus menjadi salah satu keutamaan organisasi. Jika beruang itu cukup muda, BSBCC akan cuba memulihkan mereka sepanjang hayat di dalam hutan.

Dalam usaha penyelidikannya, BSBCC turut menjalankan kajian terhadap beruang matahari di alam liar di Rizab Hidupan Liar Tabin (Tabin Wildlife Reserve) berdekatan, iaitu lebih 120,000 hektar. "Walaupun saya telah mengkaji beruang matahari selama 26 tahun, masih banyak yang perlu dipelajari tentang beruang matahari," kata Wong. "Habitat mereka terdiri daripada hutan tebal dan padat menjadikannya sangat mencabar untuk penyelidik menjalankan kajian, dan inilah sebab utama mengapa maklumat mengenai mereka masih sangat terhad."

Sebahagian besar kerja yang doijalankan oleh BSBCC bergantung pada Google Earth Pro dan imejan satelit yang digunakan oleh Wong dan penyelidik lain untuk lebih memahami kawasan perlindungan hidupan liar. "Imej-imej ini memberi kami pandangan terperinci mengenai topografi, jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan dan penggunaan tanah," kata Wong. "Sesetengah kawasan ini sangat terpencil sehinggakan peta terperinci tidak tersedia untuk mereka."

Wong dan rakan-rakannya mendapati bahawa menambahkan data peta mereka pada imejan satelit Google Earth boleh memberitahu mereka lebih banyak tentang habitat beruang matahari daripada peta topografi yang mudah. "Kami dapat mengenal pasti perbezaan antara kanopi hutan tua, hutan sekunder, dan pelbagai jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan," kata Wong.

Selain imej satelit beresolusi tinggi dari Google Earth, Wong turut menambah data daripada kamera jauh, kolar pemancar yang dipasang pada beruang yang dipulihkan, serta pemerhatian penyelidik di lapangan. Peta ini bukan sahaja menunjukkan lokasi beruang, kawasan jelajah, dan corak pergerakan mereka, tetapi juga membantu memahami jenis persekitaran yang mereka gemari serta bagaimana mereka bertindak balas terhadap gangguan habitat.

Wong dan pasukannya boleh menggunakan maklumat itu untuk mengelakkan beruang liar semasa perjalanan rehabilitasi di dalam hutan, memutuskan penempatan kamera jauh dan memilih kawasan yang memerlukan kajian lanjut. "Ini semua adalah maklumat penting untuk mengkaji ekologi beruang-semuanya bermula dengan peta," kata Wong.

Wong dan penyelidik lain juga menggunakan mudah alih Google Earth bersama-sama unit GPS untuk mencari jalan, yang bukan tugas kecil di bahagian dunia ini.

"Kadang-kadang kami perlu pergi jauh di luar jangkauan jalan raya, meredah hutan dan juga mengupah penduduk kampung tempatan untuk membawa kami ke laluan air dengan bot mereka," kata Wong. "Peta Google Earth membantu kami mencari laluan terbaik, paling selamat dan paling tidak memberi kesan ke tapak yang perlu kami lawati di dalam hutan."

Soalan juta dolar: Berapa banyak beruang matahari yang ada?

Melangkah ke hadapan, Wong dan pasukan penyelidiknya berharap dapat menggunakan Google Earth untuk menjawab apa yang beliau gelarkan sebagai "persoalan bernilai sejuta ringgit", iaitu berapa banyak beruang matahari yang masih wujud di hutan Malaysia? "Kami mempunyai seorang pelajar siswazah yang sedang membangunkan grid kamera jauh," jelas Wong. "Semoga jika kami dapat mengumpulkan data yang mencukupi daripada itu, kami boleh mencari cara untuk menganggarkan populasi dan kepadatan mereka."

Maklumat yang dikumpul daripada perangkap kamera akan membantu menentukan garis dasar untuk kajian masa depan–dan yang lebih penting, memberikan petunjuk tentang kesihatan habitat beruang matahari dan seterusnya, persekitaran yang lebih besar yang mereka kongsi dengan manusia.

"Sebagai ahli biologi, dan sebagai ahli ekologi hutan, saya tahu betapa halusnya ekosistem, dan betapa saling berkaitan unsur-unsur itu," kata Wong. "Apa yang berlaku dengan satu spesies mungkin akan menjejaskan yang lain. Dan inilah sebabnya mengapa memelihara beruang matahari adalah sangat penting."

谷歌地球 (Google Earth) 如何协助东南亚马来熊的救援与监测工作

作者：Raleigh Seamster，谷歌地球拓展项目高级经理

东南亚的马来熊完美适应了丛林环境：身形精巧、杂食性，并且擅长爬树。与北美洲的熊不同，马来熊大部分时间都在树冠层度过，最喜欢在树上找个好地方打盹。

然而，马来熊的生活充满挑战，例如需要不断寻找食物，以及来自其他争夺地盘的马来熊的威胁。近几十年里，出现了更危险的威胁：人类砍伐森林、开发项目侵占了马来熊的栖息地，并且为了食物和宠物等原因偷猎马来熊。

看到被圈养的熊以及它们所处的环境，深深地触动了马来西亚野生动物生物学家黄修德博士(Dr Wong Siew Te)，并激发了他创办婆罗洲马来熊保护中心 ( Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, 简称 BSBCC）的灵感，该中心位于马来西亚沙巴山打根。黄博士在蒙大拿大学求学期间成为马来熊专家，并前往婆罗洲进行实地研究。他发现，野生的熊群正受到威胁，而且这个物种在当地被误解，在全球范围内也鲜为人知且不受重视。

黄博士说：“当我意识到鳄鱼养殖场、小型动物园、私人动物园等地方有多少马来熊时，我感到情况非常危急。它们通常被关在恶劣的环境中，并且患有许多严重的行为困扰。”

在茂密的森林中寻找马来熊的踪迹

为了实现马来熊保护的目标，BSBCC的工作依赖于五大支柱：福利、复原、教育、研究和生态旅游。早期，黄博士的组织获得了没收非法圈养马来熊的权力；目前，在保护中心建筑物毗邻的4,200公顷保护区内，生活着40多只熊。救援熊只仍然是该组织的首要任务之一。如果熊只足够年轻，婆罗洲马来熊保护中心会尝试将它们复原，让它们重返丛林生活。

为了进行研究，BSBCC还在附近的塔宾野生动物保护区（面积超过120,000公顷）研究野生马来熊。黄博士说：“即使我已经参与了26年，关于马来熊仍有许多需要学习的地方。它们的栖息地是极其茂密的森林，对于研究人员来说，这是一个极具挑战性的工作环境，这也是人们对它们知之甚少的原因。”

BSBCC的大部分工作都依赖于谷歌地球专业版（Google Earth Pro）和卫星图像，黄博士和其他研究人员利用这些图像来更好地了解野生动物保护区。黄博士说：“这些图像为我们提供了地形、植被和土地利用的详细视图。其中一些地区非常偏远，根本没有详细的地图。”

黄博士和他的同事发现，将他们的地图数据添加到谷歌地球的卫星图像中，可以比简单的地形图更详细地了解马来熊的栖息地。黄博士说：“我们可以区分原始森林、次生林和不同种类植被的树冠外观。”

在谷歌地球的高分辨率卫星图像上，黄博士添加了来自远程摄像机和安装在复原熊只身上的发射项圈的数据，以及研究人员自己的观察结果。然后，地图不仅提供了熊只的位置、活动范围和移动模式，还提供了它们偏好的环境类型以及它们对侵占的反应。

图片说明：关于马来熊的数据和观察结果叠加在谷歌地球上（图片来源：婆罗洲马来熊保护中心）

黄博士和他的团队可以利用这些信息，在森林中进行复原步行时避开野生熊只，决定远程摄像机的放置位置，并选择值得进一步研究的区域。黄博士说：“这些都是研究熊只生态的重要信息，一切都始于地图。”

黄博士和其他研究人员还将谷歌地球移动版与GPS设备一起使用，进行导航，此事在这个区域执行起来并非易事。

黄博士说：“有时我们必须远离道路，徒步穿越森林，甚至雇用当地村民用他们的船只带我们走水路。谷歌地球的地图帮助我们找到前往位于丛林中目的地最佳、最安全、以及影响最小的路线。”

最重要的问题：野生马来熊有多少只？

展望未来，谷歌地球和研究人员希望利用谷歌地球来回答他所说的“最重要的问题”：马来西亚野生环境中还有多少只马来熊？黄博士解释说：“我们有一位研究生正在努力设置远程摄像机网格。希望如果我们能够从中捕获足够的数据，我们就能找到估算种群数量和密度的方法。”

从摄像机陷阱收集的信息将有助于确定未来研究的基准，更重要的是，提供马来熊栖息地健康状况的指标，进而提供它们与人类共享的更大环境的指标。

黄博士说：“作为一名生物学家和森林生态学家，我知道生态系统有多么脆弱，以及各个要素之间是如何相互关联的。一个物种的遭遇很可能会影响其他物种。这也是保护马来熊如此重要的根本原因。”

Google Malaysia Highlights Tools to Keep Families Safe Online

Google Malaysia Highlights Tools to Keep Families Safe Online

As search interest in ‘Screen Time’ surges, Google tools, resources, and parental controls are available to manage device usage and create a safer online experience for children

With families increasingly turning to digital platforms for education and entertainment, online safety has never been more top-of-mind for parents. According to Google Trends, search interest in ‘screen time’ reached an all-time high in Malaysia in December 2024, as more parents looked for ways to manage their children’s online habits. To help families navigate the digital world with confidence, Google Malaysia is reinforcing its ongoing commitment to online safety by spotlighting the tools, resources, and parental controls available across its platforms.

“As more kids and teens become savvy navigators of the digital world, it’s important that families are empowered with the right knowledge and tools to ensure that the Internet remains a safe space for everyone. We understand that each family’s relationship with technology is unique, and that’s why we’ve built easy-to-use parental controls such as Family Link and YouTube supervised experiences as well as digital literacy programs like Be Internet Awesome to aid in their digital parenting. Together, we will be able to build a safer digital environment for all Malaysians,” said Farhan Qureshi, Country Director, Google Malaysia.

Putting Parents in Control Across Google Products

According to the APAC Kids and Families Online Safety Survey, 3 in 4 Malaysian children are spending an average of 1 to 6 six hours daily on digital platforms*. The top three types of inappropriate content reported by parents were misinformation (56.4%); deceptive ads and spam (52.3%); as well as violent content (45.9%).

In response to more children going online, Google’s search data in the past 12 months also reflects parents’ interest in online safety solutions that help manage digital risks for their children. "Screen time for kids" was a top 10 related search term among Malaysians, while the search term "recommended screen time by age" saw a 50% rise in interest.

Over the years, Google has invested in building safety features and controls in its products that help keep Malaysian families safe online without having to change any settings.

For example, to make online searches safer and prevent accidental exposure to inappropriate content, SafeSearch on Google is automatically enabled for all signed-in users under 18 years old, and blurs explicit imagery such as pornographic images, videos, and websites across all searches.

In addition, Google has also developed parental controls that empower parents to secure and manage their children’s online experience - while helping them build healthy digital habits. These protections are an important way of creating an environment where children can learn and explore safely. Some of the most impactful features that are helping parents across Malaysia include:

Parental Controls for a Safe Experience: Family Link is an app created to help parents set up a supervised account for their child. With the app, parents are able to understand how their child is spending time on their device, find the screen time that works best, stay connected on the go, as well as manage and secure their children’s accounts.

New tools such as the ability to set Downtime and School time to help reduce distractions, parent-managed contacts, and an improved interface were also added to help foster healthy digital habits.

Manage children’s access to websites in Chrome browser: Enable parents to manage their child’s access to specific websites when they are using the Chrome browser on their Android or Chrome OS device. Parents may choose to limit access only to websites that they are comfortable with, or block specific sites that they don’t want their child to visit. This can be done through the Family Link app by tapping on Manage Settings > Google Chrome and choosing the setting that’s right for the family.”

Additionally, YouTube is more than just entertainment for Malaysian youth – it's a place for them to learn new skills, dive deep into their passions, express their unique selves, and discover creators. To make it a safe and positive experience, YouTube has also invested in a range of features and policies to protect younger users:

YouTube Kids: A separate app that offers a more contained and curated environment for children. Parental controls on YouTube Kids allows families to limit screen time, only show videos approved by the parent or select suitable content based on the age of the child.
Supervised Experiences for pre-teens and teens on YouTube: On the main YouTube app, parents can set up a supervised experience on YouTube to manage the content that their children view – such as live streams, live chats, comments and the types of videos they can watch. The Family Center hub also allows parents and teens the option to link their accounts and get shared insights and notifications.
Empowering teens to manage their screen time: Features like Bedtime reminders and Take a Break notifications that encourage healthy digital habits are turned on by default for viewers under 18 years old, across short and long-form videos, with a default setting for Take a Break reminders every 60 minutes. Autoplay is also disabled for teenagers to give them more control over their viewing experience.

Building programs to elevate digital literacy in Malaysia

Beyond built-in safety features, Google is investing in education and free resources to equip families, schools, and communities with the knowledge they need to navigate the digital world safely. The free digital citizenship programme, Be Internet Awesome, has empowered more than 148,000 children to develop critical online safety skills. It is also available in Malay, and accessible via DELIMa (Digital Educational Learning Initiative Malaysia).

In addition, Google also launched the Be Internet Awesome World, a new gaming experience on Roblox that will bring these same safety lessons to life in an interactive and fun way.

Roblox is one of the most popular online gaming platforms, with over 79.5 million daily active users. Working with Roblox helps Google to reach children where they are already spending time to teach them the basics of online safety. Visitors will explore the magical world of the Internauts and learn how to navigate various real-world scenarios and risks by applying safety tips and critical thinking skills. They will have the ability to play multiple games, each based on a specific safety topic, ranging from identifying phishing attempts to practicing kindness online. During the game, players will receive immediate feedback, helping them learn through trial and error.

Find More Resources at the Google Safety Center

Google remains committed to providing families with accessible, easy-to-use tools that help them manage screen time, filter content, and protect their children online. Parents can explore these features and safety guides at the Google Safety Center.

*The survey was conducted in 2023 with 8,000 parents across Australia, India, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In Malaysia, the survey was conducted with 500 parents who have at least one child aged five to 17 years old.

Google Malaysia Menonjolkan Alat untuk Memastikan Keluarga Selamat Dalam Talian

Dengan lonjakan minat carian terhadap 'Masa Skrin' (Screen Time), alatan Google, sumber dan kawalan ibu bapa tersedia untuk mencipta pengalaman dalam talian yang lebih selamat untuk kanak-kanak

Dengan keluarga yang semakin beralih kepada platform digital untuk pendidikan dan hiburan, keselamatan dalam talian tidak pernah menjadi keutamaan bagi ibu bapa. Menurut Google Trends, minat carian terhadap ‘masa skrin’ (‘screen time’) mencapai tahap tertinggi sepanjang masa di Malaysia pada Disember 2024, apabila lebih ramai ibu bapa mencari cara untuk menguruskan tabiat dalam talian anak-anak mereka. Untuk membantu keluarga menavigasi dunia digital dengan yakin, Google Malaysia memperkukuh komitmen berterusannya terhadap keselamatan dalam talian dengan menonjolkan alatan, maklumat dan kawalan ibu bapa yang tersedia di seluruh platformnya.

"Memandangkan lebih ramai kanak-kanak dan remaja menjadi pelayar yang bijak dalam dunia digital, adalah penting bahawa keluarga diperkasakan dengan pengetahuan dan alatan yang betul untuk memastikan Internet kekal sebagai ruang yang selamat untuk semua. Kami memahami bahawa hubungan setiap keluarga dengan teknologi adalah unik, dan itulah sebabnya kami telah membina kawalan ibu bapa yang mudah digunakan seperti Family Link dan pengalaman digital yang diawasi oleh YouTube serta program celik digital seperti Be Internet Awesome untuk membantu keibubapaan digital, kita akan dapat membina persekitaran digital yang lebih selamat untuk semua rakyat Malaysia,” kata Farhan Qureshi, Pengarah Negara, Google Malaysia.

Meletakkan Ibu Bapa dalam Kawalan Merentas Produk Google

Menurut Tinjauan Keselamatan Dalam Talian APAC Kids and Families, 3 daripada 4 kanak-kanak Malaysia menghabiskan purata 1 hingga 6 enam jam setiap hari di platform digital*. Tiga jenis kandungan yang tidak sesuai yang dilaporkan oleh ibu bapa adalah maklumat salah (56.4%); iklan dan spam yang mengelirukan (52.3%); serta kandungan ganas (45.9%).

Sebagai respon kepada lebih ramai kanak-kanak pergi dalam talian, data carian Google dalam tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu juga mencerminkan minat ibu bapa terhadap penyelesaian keselamatan dalam talian yang membantu mengurus risiko digital untuk anak-anak mereka. "Masa skrin untuk kanak-kanak" ("Screen time for kids") ialah antara 10 carian teratas dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia, manakala istilah carian "masa skrin yang disyorkan mengikut umur” ("recommended screen time by age") menyaksikan peningkatan minat sebanyak 50%.

Selama bertahun-tahun, Google telah melabur dalam membina ciri dan kawalan keselamatan dalam produknya yang membantu memastikan keluarga Malaysia selamat dalam talian tanpa perlu menukar sebarang tetapan.

Contohnya, untuk menjadikan carian dalam talian lebih selamat dan mengelakkan pendedahan tidak sengaja kepada kandungan yang tidak sesuai, SafeSearch on Google didayakan secara automatik untuk semua pengguna yang dilog masuk di bawah umur 18 tahun dan mengaburkan imej eksplisit seperti imej lucah, video dan laman web merentas semua carian.

Selain itu, Google juga telah membangunkan kawalan ibu bapa yang memperkasakan ibu bapa untuk menjamin dan mengurus pengalaman dalam talian anak-anak mereka - sambil membantu mereka membina tabiat digital yang sihat. Perlindungan ini merupakan cara penting untuk mewujudkan persekitaran di mana kanak-kanak boleh belajar dan meneroka dengan selamat. Beberapa ciri paling berkesan yang membantu ibu bapa di seluruh Malaysia termasuk:

Kawalan Ibu Bapa untuk Pengalaman Selamat: Family Link ialah aplikasi yang dibuat untuk membantu ibu bapa menyediakan akaun diawasi untuk anak mereka. Dengan aplikasi itu, ibu bapa dapat memahami cara anak mereka meluangkan masa pada peranti mereka, mencari masa skrin yang paling berkesan, kekal berhubung semasa dalam perjalanan serta mengurus dan melindungi akaun anak mereka.

Alat baharu seperti keupayaan untuk menetapkan Masa Henti dan Masa Persekolahan untuk membantu mengurangkan gangguan, hubungan yang diuruskan oleh ibu bapa dan antara muka yang dipertingkatkan turut ditambahkan untuk membantu memupuk tabiat digital yang sihat.

Urus akses kanak-kanak ke laman web dalam penyemak imbas Chrome: Membolehkan ibu bapa mengurus akses anak mereka ke tapak web tertentu apabila mereka menggunakan penyemak imbas Chrome pada peranti Android atau OS Chrome mereka. Ibu bapa boleh memilih untuk mengehadkan akses kepada tapak web yang mereka selesa sahaja atau menyekat tapak tertentu yang mereka tidak mahu anak mereka lawati. Ini boleh dilakukan melalui aplikasi Family Link dengan mengetik pada Urus Tetapan > Google Chrome dan memilih tetapan yang sesuai untuk keluarga.

Selain itu, YouTube adalah lebih daripada sekadar hiburan untuk belia Malaysia – ia adalah tempat untuk mereka mempelajari kemahiran baharu, menyelami minat mereka, menyatakan diri mereka yang unik dan menemui pencipta (creators). Untuk menjadikannya pengalaman yang selamat dan positif, YouTube juga telah melabur dalam pelbagai ciri dan dasar untuk melindungi pengguna yang lebih muda:

YouTube Kids: Aplikasi berasingan yang menawarkan persekitaran yang lebih terkawal dan dipilih susun untuk kanak-kanak. Kawalan ibu bapa di YouTube Kids membolehkan keluarga mengehadkan masa skrin, hanya menunjukkan video yang diluluskan oleh ibu bapa atau memilih kandungan yang sesuai berdasarkan umur kanak-kanak itu.

Pengalaman Diawasi untuk pra-remaja dan remaja di YouTube: Pada aplikasi YouTube utama, ibu bapa boleh menyediakan pengalaman diawasi di YouTube untuk mengurus kandungan yang dilihat oleh anak mereka – seperti strim langsung, sembang langsung, ulasan dan jenis video yang boleh mereka tonton. Hab Family Center juga membenarkan ibu bapa dan remaja pilihan untuk memautkan akaun mereka dan mendapatkan cerapan serta pemberitahuan yang dikongsi.

Memperkasakan remaja untuk mengurus masa skrin mereka: Ciri seperti peringatan Waktu Tidur dan Pemberitahuan Rehat yang menggalakkan tabiat digital yang sihat dihidupkan secara tetapan asal untuk penonton di bawah umur 18 tahun, merentas video pendek dan panjang, dengan tetapan asal untuk peringatan Rehat setiap 60 minit. Automain juga dilumpuhkan untuk remaja bagi memberi mereka lebih kawalan ke atas pengalaman menonton mereka.

Membina program untuk meningkatkan literasi digital di Malaysia

Di sebalik ciri keselamatan terbina dalam, Google melabur dalam pendidikan dan sumber percuma untuk melengkapkan keluarga, sekolah dan komuniti dengan pengetahuan yang mereka perlukan untuk mengemudi dunia digital dengan selamat. Program kewarganegaraan digital percuma, Be Internet Awesome, memperkasakan lebih 148,000 kanak-kanak untuk membangunkan kemahiran keselamatan dalam talian yang kritikal. Ia juga tersedia dalam bahasa Melayu, dan boleh diakses melalui DELIMa (Digital Educational Learning Initiative Malaysia).

Selain itu, Google turut melancarkan Be Internet Awesome World, pengalaman permainan baharu di Roblox yang akan menghidupkan pelajaran keselamatan yang sama ini dengan cara yang interaktif dan menyeronokkan.

Roblox ialah salah satu platform permainan dalam talian yang paling popular, dengan lebih 79.5 juta pengguna aktif setiap hari. Bekerja dengan Roblox membantu Google menjangkau kanak-kanak di mana mereka sudah meluangkan masa untuk mengajar mereka asas keselamatan dalam talian. Pelawat akan meneroka dunia ajaib Internauts dan belajar cara mengemudi pelbagai senario dan risiko dunia sebenar dengan menggunakan petua keselamatan dan kemahiran berfikir kritis. Mereka akan mempunyai keupayaan untuk bermain berbilang permainan, masing-masing berdasarkan topik keselamatan tertentu, mulai daripada mengenal pasti percubaan pancingan data kepada mengamalkan kebaikan dalam talian. Semasa permainan, pemain akan menerima maklum balas segera, membantu mereka belajar melalui percubaan dan kesilapan.

*Tinjauan itu dijalankan pada 2023 dengan 8,000 ibu bapa di seluruh Australia, India, Filipina, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapura, Malaysia, Jepun, Korea, Taiwan dan Hong Kong. Di Malaysia, tinjauan itu dijalankan terhadap 500 ibu bapa yang mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya seorang anak berumur lima hingga 17 tahun.

Google马来西亚强调在线家庭安全工具
“屏幕时间”搜索量激增，Google 提供工具、资源和家长控制选项，帮助儿童安全上网

随着越来越多的家庭依赖数字平台进行教育和娱乐，家长对在线安全的关注也日益提升。根据 Google Trends 数据，2024 年 12 月，马来西亚关于“屏幕时间”的搜索量达到历史新高，显示出越来越多的家长在寻找有效方法来管理子女的上网习惯。为帮助家庭安心应对数字世界，Google 马来西亚正加强其对在线安全的长期承诺，并重点介绍其平台上的各类工具、资源和家长控制功能，以打造更安全的上网环境。

“随着越来越多的儿童和青少年熟练运用数字技术，家庭更需要掌握正确的知识和工具，以确保互联网始终是一个安全的环境。我们深知，每个家庭与科技的互动方式各不相同，因此我们推出了 Family Link 和 YouTube 受监管体验等简便易用的家长控制功能，以及 Be Internet Awesome 等数字素养项目，帮助家长更好地引导孩子健康上网。通过共同努力，我们可以为所有马来西亚人打造一个更安全的数字世界。”Google 马来西亚区国家总监 Farhan Qureshi 表示。

让家长掌控 Google 产品中的在线安全

根据《亚太地区儿童与家庭在线安全调查》（APAC Kids and Families Online Safety Survey），四分之三的马来西亚儿童每天在数字平台上的平均使用时间为 1 至 6 小时*。家长们最常报告的三类不适当内容分别是：错误信息（56.4%）、欺骗性广告和垃圾信息（52.3%）、以及暴力内容（45.9%)。

随着越来越多的儿童接触互联网，过去 12 个月的 Google 搜索数据也显示出家长对在线安全解决方案的关注度上升，以降低子女面临的数字风险。其中，“儿童屏幕时间”跻身马来西亚十大相关搜索词之一，而 “按年龄推荐的屏幕时间” 搜索量增长了 50%，反映出家长对合理管理孩子上网时间的需求日益增长。

长期以来，Google 始终致力于在产品中集成安全功能和控制选项，让马来西亚家庭无需额外调整设置，即可享受更加安全的上网体验。

例如，为了提高搜索安全性，并防止儿童意外接触不适当内容，SafeSearch on Google（安全搜索）默认对所有 18 岁以下的登录用户启用，并对搜索结果中的敏感图像（如色情图片、视频和网站）进行模糊处理，确保孩子们拥有更安全的在线环境。

此外，Google 还开发了一系列家长控制功能，让家长能够管理和保护孩子的在线体验，同时帮助他们培养健康的数字习惯。这些保护措施对于营造一个安全的学习与探索环境至关重要。以下是一些在马来西亚广受家长欢迎的功能：

家长控制，打造安全上网体验: Family Link 是一款专为家长设计的应用程序，帮助他们为子女创建受监管的账户。通过该应用，家长可了解孩子在设备上的使用时间、设定适合家庭的屏幕时间管理方案、远程保持联系、以及管理和保护孩子的账户。

此外，Google 还推出了全新工具，如 Downtime 和 School Time，帮助孩子减少分心、支持家长管理联系人、以及优化了更直观的界面，以促进孩子养成健康的上网习惯。
管理儿童在 Chrome 浏览器上的网站访问: Google 允许家长管理孩子在 Android 或 Chrome OS 设备上使用 Chrome 浏览器时可访问的网站。家长可以选择仅允许访问特定网站，确保孩子只能浏览适合的内容，也可以阻止特定网站，防止孩子进入不适宜的网站。家长可通过 Family Link 应用轻松进行设置：点击“管理设置”（Manage Settings）> 选择“Google Chrome” > 设定最适合家庭的访问权限。

对于马来西亚年轻用户而言，YouTube 不仅是娱乐平台，更是他们学习新技能、深入探索兴趣、展现个性并发现创作者的空间。为确保他们的使用体验既安全又积极，YouTube 在保护青少年用户方面投入了多项安全功能和政策，包括：

YouTube Kids：YouTube Kids 是一个独立应用程序，为儿童提供更加受控和精选的内容环境。家长可通过 YouTube Kids 家长控制功能，限制孩子的屏幕使用时间、仅显示家长审核批准的视频、以及根据孩子年龄选择合适的内容。

青少年版 YouTube 受监管体验在主 YouTube 应用中，家长可以设置受监管体验（Supervised Experiences），管理孩子可以观看的内容，包括控制内容类型（如直播、直播聊天、评论等）、设定适合青少年的观看范围、以及通过 Family Center Hub 让家长和青少年账户关联，共享观看数据和通知。

帮助青少年管理屏幕时间：为了鼓励青少年养成健康的数字习惯，YouTube 默认启用睡眠提醒（Bedtime Reminders）和休息提醒（Take a Break）。此功能适用于所有 18 岁以下用户，默认每 60 分钟提醒一次休息、自动播放（Autoplay）默认关闭、以帮助青少年更主动管理观看体验。

推动数字素养教育助力马来西亚安全上网

除了内置的安全功能，Google 还积极投资于教育和免费资源，帮助家庭、学校和社区掌握安全使用互联网的知识。免费数字公民教育计划 Be Internet Awesome已帮助超过 148,000 名儿童发展关键的在线安全技能。该计划不仅提供马来语版本，还可通过马来西亚数字教育学习计划（DELIMa）轻松获取。

此外，Google 还推出了 Be Internet Awesome World—— 一个全新基于 Roblox 的互动游戏体验，让这些安全知识以寓教于乐的方式生动呈现。

Roblox 是全球最受欢迎的在线游戏平台之一，每日活跃用户超过 7,950 万。Google 通过与 Roblox 合作，在孩子们最常使用的平台上教授基本的网络安全知识。玩家将在Internauts的奇幻世界中冒险，学习如何应对现实生活中的网络安全挑战，通过游戏体验各种安全主题，例如识别网络钓鱼（Phishing）、预防在线欺诈、在网络上践行友善等。实时反馈机制，让玩家在尝试和学习中掌握网络安全技能。这一创新举措结合游戏化学习与实践训练，帮助儿童在沉浸式体验中掌握安全上网的关键知识。

*这项调查于2023年进行，覆盖澳大利亚、印度、菲律宾、泰国、越南、新加坡、马来西亚、日本、韩国、台湾和香港，共计8,000名家长参与。在马来西亚，我们对500名育有5至17岁子女的家长进行了调查。

Year in Search 2024: Here’s What Malaysians Searched, Celebrated, and Remembered

From sporting triumphs to groundbreaking news that shaped the nation, this year’s search trends offer a window into what captivated Malaysians

As 2024 enters its final chapter, it is the perfect time to reflect on the moments that defined the year. With Google’s Year in Search, Malaysians are reminded of the topics they searched for throughout the past twelve months. From electrifying sports moments that brought the nation together, to headline-grabbing news and viral trends that sparked nationwide fascination, this year’s searches paint a vibrant picture of the stories that resonated deeply across the country.

A Year of Sporting Glory That United Malaysians

2024 was a year when sports had Malaysians glued to their screens and cheering with passion, with 6 out of the top 10 trending searches reflecting the nation’s deep-seated love for sports. Whether it was friends huddled around screens at mamak stalls, enthusiastically watching the UEFA Euro 2024 (#1 Search, #1 Sports) over steaming cups of teh tarik, or families gathering at home to catch every nail-biting moment of the AFC Asian Cup (#4 Searches, #2 Sports), the excitement resonated deeply with Malaysians. The Copa América (#6 Searches, #4 Sports) added to the football fever, proving that no matter the time zone, Malaysians will always stay up for the love of the game.

The Paris Olympics 2024 (#3 Sports) also saw Malaysian athletes bring their A-game, with badminton stars Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik earning a repeat bronze medal in men’s doubles, while singles star Lee Zii Jia claimed his own bronze in singles, proudly flying the Malaysian flag high. The "Malaysia Boleh" spirit carried on with the Paralympics 2024 (#9 Sports), adding an emotional layer to the year’s sporting achievements, with Malaysian athletes taking home five medals. Back home, local broadcaster RTM (#7 Sports) kept Malaysians connected to all the action with seamless live coverage.

Stars, Athletes, and Politicians

Malaysians’ love for sports also translated into the personalities they were searching for, with athletes taking half of the spots in the Trending People list. National heroes such as cyclist Azizulhasni Awang (#2 People) or fondly known as the "Pocket Rocketman" and badminton player Pearly Tan (#8 People) inspired the nation with their outstanding performances at the Olympics 2024. Footballer Faisal Halim (#5 People) also garnered attention with his impressive comeback to the national team. Internationally, badminton enthusiasts followed the journeys of Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn (#4 People) and Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen (#10 People), whose stellar performances earned silver and gold medals at the Olympics 2024.

Sports aside, Malaysians were keeping a close watch of the US election campaigns by Donald Trump (#6 People) and Kamala Harris (#9 People).

News That Mattered to Malaysians

With the rising costs of living, Malaysians turned to search for financial assistance programs and ways to manage their budgets. Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (#1 News), the government’s cash assistance for the low and middle income groups, topped the trending ‘News’ list. Complementing these efforts was the Program Bantuan Subsidi Madani (#9 News) and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (#10 News), which provided targeted subsidies, collectively offering much-needed relief during challenging economic times.

Malaysians have also embraced the digital evolution in education and welfare, with platforms like DELIMa (#8 searches, #3 News), offering digital learning tools for students and educators, and AINS (#7 News), fostering a reading culture among students, making their way into the trending searches list. Social welfare programs like MyKasih (#6 News) that support vulnerable communities were high on Malaysians’ search behaviour. Additionally, the KWSP Akaun (#8 News) remained a focal point for Malaysians planning their financial futures.

Taking AI Enthusiasm to the next level

From chat bots to creative tools, AI has seamlessly become part of Malaysians’ daily routines. The widespread adoption in AI is further fueled by government initiatives like the National Artificial Intelligence Framework and Digital Economy Blueprint, which continue to drive AI integration across both personal and professional spheres.

For instance, AI chatbots like Gemini (#3 AI) are reimagining the way people are finding information and staying productive. Malaysians are also staying creative with tools such as Viggle AI (#7 AI) and Vidu Studio (#8 AI) to transform text into breathtaking visuals within seconds, unlocking new avenues for artistic expression and innovation.

From Bingeworthy Dramas to Blockbuster Hits

Malaysians flocked to theaters in a wave of excitement as Inside Out 2 (#1 Movies) and Kung Fu Panda 4 (#6 Movies) brought beloved characters back to the big screen. For fans who grew up with the earlier installments, the anticipation was heightened and made these sequels into must-watch cinematic events that reignited nostalgia. Superhero fans were treated to a thrilling lineup with Deadpool (#2 Movies), Madame Web (#5 Movies), and Venom (#7 Movies) with each offering a compelling take on the superhero genre that intrigues both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Back at home, TV dramas became a source of comfort and connection for Malaysians. Global hits like Queen of Tears (#1 TV Shows), Marry My Husband (#2 TV Shows) and 家族荣曜之继承者 (The Heir to the Throne) (#3 TV Shows) brought emotionally charged narratives to the forefront, offering a blend of love, loss, and resilience that kept viewers hooked week after week. Series like Aku Bukan Ustazah (#4 TV Shows) and Lovely Runner (#5 TV Shows) emerged as fan favorites, weaving cultural nuances into compelling stories that felt both authentic and emotional.

Remembering Those Who Left Their Mark

While celebrating the presence of loved ones, Malaysians also turned to Google to honor the lives of figures who passed. The unexpected loss of Liam Payne (#1 Passing), beloved former member of One Direction, sent shockwaves across the globe. The passing of Taib Mahmud (#2 Passing), Sarawak’s former Governor and Chief Minister, on the other hand, marked the end of a significant chapter in Malaysian politics.

The nation also mourned the loss of cherished personalities such as Nidza Afham (#4 Passing), Hamdan Senario (#6 Passing), Jaafar Onn (#7 Passing), and Nabil Zamanhuri (#10 Passing), whose contributions left an impact in the entertainment industry. Globally, the departure of legendary manga artist Akira Toriyama (#5 Passing), whose iconic Dragon Ball series many Malaysians grew up watching, serves as a reminder of the profound impact cultural icons have in shaping childhoods.

Carian Tahun 2024: Inilah Perkara yang Dicari, Disambut, dan Diingati oleh Rakyat Malaysia

Dari kejayaan sukan hingga berita yang mencorakkan negara, trend carian tahun ini memberikan gambaran tentang perkara yang menarik perhatian rakyat Malaysia

Menjelang penghujung tahun 2024, kini tiba masanya untuk kita merenung semula momen-momen yang telah mendefinisikan tahun ini. Melalui laporan Carian Tahun Google, rakyat Malaysia dapat mengenang kembali topik-topik yang menjadi perhatian sepanjang tahun. Daripada detik sukan yang menyatukan negara kepada berita utama dan trend viral, carian ini mencerminkan kisah-kisah yang menyentuh hati rakyat Malaysia.

Tahun Kegemilangan Sukan yang Menyatukan Rakyat Malaysia

Tahun 2024 menyaksikan rakyat Malaysia terpaku pada skrin, menyokong acara sukan dengan penuh semangat. Enam daripada sepuluh carian trending tahun ini adalah berkaitan sukan. Sama ada menikmati UEFA Euro 2024 (#1 Carian, #1 Sukan) di kedai mamak sambil ditemani teh tarik atau berkumpul bersama keluarga di rumah untuk menyaksikan setiap detik mendebarkan Piala Asia AFC (#4 Carian, #2 Sukan), keterujaan ini jelas bergema di seluruh negara. Copa América (#6 Carian, #4 Sukan) turut menambah kehangatan demam bola sepak, membuktikan bahawa tanpa mengira zon waktu, rakyat Malaysia sentiasa bersedia berjaga malam demi kecintaan terhadap permainan ini.

Sukan Olimpik Paris 2024 (#3 Sukan) menjadi pentas gemilang bagi atlet Malaysia, apabila pasangan beregu lelaki badminton, Aaron Chia dan Soh Wooi Yik, berjaya mengulangi kejayaan meraih pingat gangsa. Dalam acara perseorangan, Lee Zii Jia turut mengharumkan nama negara dengan menyumbangkan pingat gangsa. Semangat "Malaysia Boleh" diteruskan di Sukan Paralimpik 2024 (#9 Sukan), dengan atlet negara membawa pulang lima pingat. Penyiar tempatan, RTM (#7 Sukan) memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan rakyat Malaysia tidak ketinggalan menikmati setiap detik aksi, dengan liputan langsung yang lancar dan menyeluruh.

Bintang, Atlet, dan Ahli Politik

Kecintaan rakyat Malaysia terhadap sukan turut tercermin melalui personaliti yang menjadi tumpuan carian, dengan atlet mengisi separuh daripada senarai individu paling sohor. Wira negara seperti pelumba basikal Azizulhasni Awang (#2 Individu), atau lebih dikenali sebagai Pocket Rocketman, serta pemain badminton Pearly Tan (#8 Individu), memberi inspirasi kepada negara melalui persembahan cemerlang mereka di Sukan Olimpik 2024. Pemain bola sepak Faisal Halim (#5 Individu) juga menarik perhatian ramai dengan kemunculannya semula yang mengagumkan bersama pasukan kebangsaan. Di peringkat antarabangsa, peminat badminton mengikuti perjalanan Kunlavut Vitidsarn (#4 Individu) dari Thailand dan Viktor Axelsen (#10 Individu) dari Denmark, yang masing-masing meraih pingat perak dan emas di Sukan Olimpik 2024.

Selain sukan, rakyat Malaysia turut memberi perhatian rapat kepada kempen pilihan raya presiden Amerika Syarikat, dengan nama-nama seperti Donald Trump (#6 Individu) dan Kamala Harris (#9 Individu) menjadi tumpuan.

Berita yang Menjadi Perhatian Rakyat Malaysia

Dengan peningkatan kos sara hidup, rakyat Malaysia semakin cenderung mencari maklumat mengenai program bantuan kewangan dan panduan menguruskan belanjawan. Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (#1 Berita), bantuan tunai kerajaan untuk golongan berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana, mendahului senarai carian 'Berita' paling sohor. Melengkapkan inisiatif ini ialah Program Bantuan Subsidi Madani (#9 Berita) dan Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (#10 Berita), yang menyediakan subsidi bersasar. Secara kolektif, program-program ini menawarkan bantuan yang amat diperlukan dalam menghadapi cabaran ekonomi semasa.

Rakyat Malaysia semakin selesa dengan evolusi digital dalam bidang pendidikan dan kebajikan. Platform DELIMa (#8 Carian, #3 Berita) menyediakan alat pembelajaran digital untuk pelajar dan pendidik, manakala AINS (#7 Berita) menggalakkan budaya membaca dalam kalangan pelajar. Di samping itu, program kebajikan sosial seperti MyKasih (#6 Berita), yang memberi sokongan kepada komuniti rentan, turut mendapat perhatian. Akaun KWSP (#8 Berita) pula kekal menjadi tumpuan utama bagi rakyat Malaysia yang ingin merancang masa depan kewangan mereka.

Kemajuan AI ke Tahap Baru

Daripada bot sembang hingga ke alat kreatif, AI kini menjadi sebahagian penting dalam rutin harian rakyat Malaysia. Penerimaan meluas terhadap teknologi ini turut dipacu oleh inisiatif kerajaan seperti Rangka Kerja Kecerdasan Buatan Kebangsaan dan Rangka Tindakan Ekonomi Digital, yang terus mempercepatkan integrasi AI dalam sfera peribadi dan profesional.

Bot sembang AI seperti Gemini (#3 AI) telah mentransformasi cara rakyat Malaysia mendapatkan maklumat serta meningkatkan produktiviti harian. Pada masa yang sama, kreativiti terus berkembang dengan alat seperti Viggle AI (#7 AI) dan Vidu Studio (#8 AI), yang membolehkan teks ditukar menjadi visual menakjubkan dalam beberapa saat. Inovasi ini membuka peluang baharu untuk ekspresi seni dan penerokaan kreatif.

Dari Drama Menghiburkan hingga Filem Hebat

Rakyat Malaysia beramai-ramai memenuhi pawagam untuk menyaksikan tayangan perdana filem-filem yang paling dinanti-nantikan. Filem animasi popular seperti Inside Out 2 (#1 Filem) dan Kung Fu Panda 4 (#6 Filem) menghidupkan kembali watak-watak kesayangan di layar perak. Bagi mereka yang membesar dengan siri terdahulu, kehadiran sekuel ini menjadi acara wajib tonton, membawa kenangan nostalgik kepada generasi peminat setia. Sementara itu, peminat adiwira juga menikmati pelbagai pilihan filem aksi mendebarkan. Filem seperti Deadpool (#2 Filem), Madame Web (#5 Filem), dan Venom (#7 Filem) menawarkan perspektif unik terhadap genre adiwira. Filem-filem ini tidak hanya memukau peminat setia tetapi juga berjaya menarik perhatian penonton baharu dengan naratif yang segar dan menarik.

Di rumah, drama televisyen menjadi sumber keselesaan dan hubungan emosi bagi rakyat Malaysia. Rancangan popular dari seluruh dunia seperti Queen of Tears (#1 Rancangan TV), Marry My Husband (#2 Rancangan TV) dan 家族荣曜之继承者 (The Heir to the Throne) (#3 Rancangan TV) memikat hati penonton dengan cerita penuh emosi yang merangkumi tema cinta, kehilangan, dan ketabahan. Sementara itu, siri tempatan seperti Aku Bukan Ustazah (#4 Rancangan TV) dan Lovely Runner (#5 Rancangan TV) berjaya menambat hati rakyat Malaysia dengan menyuntik unsur budaya ke dalam jalan cerita yang autentik dan menyentuh hati. Gabungan cerita yang relevan dan watak yang berkesan menjadikan siri-siri ini sebagai kegemaran ramai.

Mengenang Mereka yang Meninggalkan Legasi

Rakyat Malaysia turut menggunakan Google untuk mengenangi individu yang telah meninggal dunia. Kematian mengejut Liam Payne (#1 Pemergian), bekas ahli One Direction, menggemparkan dunia, manakala pemergian Taib Mahmud (#2 Pemergian), bekas Yang di-Pertua Negeri dan Ketua Menteri Sarawak pula menandakan pengakhiran bab penting dalam politik Malaysia.

Negara turut berduka atas kehilangan personaliti seperti Nidza Afham (#4 Pemergian), Hamdan Senario (#6 Pemergian), Jaafar Onn (#7 Pemergian), dan Nabil Zamanhuri (#10 Pemergian), yang memberi impak besar dalam industri hiburan. Di peringkat global, pemergian legenda komik, Akira Toriyama (#5 Pemergian), pencipta Dragon Ball, turut menyentuh sisi sedih dalam hati generasi peminat tempatan yang membesar dengan karyanya.

2024年度搜索: 马来西亚人搜索、庆祝与铭记的事物

从体坛盛事到改变国家局势的即时新闻，搜索趋势展示了大马国人今年最关注的焦点

随着2024年接近尾声，现在是回顾定义今年重要时刻的最佳时机。通过谷歌 (Google) 的年度搜索报告，大马国人可以重温过去十二个月中搜索的主题。从让全国团结一致、振奋人心的体育赛事，到引人注目的新闻头条和引发全国热议的热门话题，今年的搜索生动描绘了深深触动国人的故事。

团结马来西亚人的体育辉煌之年

2024年的体育赛事是让大马人热血沸腾的一年，10大搜索趋势中有6项与体育相关，体现了国人对体育的深厚热爱。无论是在嘛嘛档一边喝着热腾腾的拉茶一边热情观看UEFA欧洲杯2024（#1 搜索，#1 体育）, 或是与家人聚在家中紧张地关注 亚洲杯（#4 搜索，#2 体育）的每一个瞬间，这份激情深深感染了全国。美洲杯（#6 搜索，#4 体育）更是加剧了足球热潮，证明无论在哪一个时区，大马人民都会为热爱的赛事而熬夜。

在 2024年巴黎奥运会（#3 体育）上，马来西亚运动员展现了卓越的表现。羽毛球选手谢定峰和苏伟译再次获得男子双打铜牌，而李梓嘉则在男子单打中摘得一枚铜牌，为马来西亚国旗增添荣耀。"Malaysia Boleh" 的精神延续至 2024年残奥会（#9 体育）, 大马代表团共获得五枚奖牌，出色的体育成就振奋人心。在国内，RTM（#7 体育）通过流畅的现场直播，将这些精彩瞬间传递给全国观众。

明星、运动员与政治人物

马来西亚人对体育的热爱也体现在他们的搜索人物上，运动员占据了热门人物榜单的一半。国家名将如被亲切地称为“袖珍火箭人”的自行车选手阿兹祖·哈斯尼·阿旺（Azizulhasni Awang，#2 人物），以及羽毛球选手陈康乐（Pearly Tan，#8 人物） ，因其在2024年奥运会上的杰出表现激励了全国。足球运动员费萨尔·哈利姆（Faisal Halim，#5 人物）也因成功重返国家队而备受瞩目。在国际方面，羽毛球爱好者关注泰国选手昆拉武特（Kunlavut Vitidsarn，#4 人物）和丹麦选手安赛龙（Viktor Axelsen，#10 人物），他们分别在奥运会上斩获银牌和金牌。

除了体育，马来西亚人还密切关注美国总统大选的竞选活动，包括唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump，#6 人物） 和 卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris，#9 人物）。

与国人密切相关的重要新闻

随着生活成本的不断上升，马来西亚人纷纷搜索有关财务援助计划和管理预算的方法。政府为中低收入群体提供的现金援助计划包括 Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah （#1 新闻）, 在热门新闻榜单中排名第一。此外， Program Bantuan Subsidi Madani （#9 新闻）和 Sumbangan Asas Rahmah（#10 新闻）, 也为特定群体提供了有针对性的补贴，在经济严峻时期为民众提供了急需的帮助。

马来西亚人也积极拥抱教育和福利领域的数字化进步，例如平台DELIMa （#8 搜索，#3 新闻）, 为学生和教育者提供数字学习工具，AINS （#7 新闻）则致力于培养学生的阅读文化，这些平台成功进入热门搜索榜单。此外，支持弱势群体的社会福利计划如MyKasih （#6 新闻）在搜索行为中占据高位，而KWSP Akaun （#8 新闻）继续成为马来西亚人规划财务未来的焦点。

将人工智能热潮推向新高度

从聊天机器人到创意工具，人工智能已经无缝融入了马来西亚人的日常生活。政府推出的国家人工智能框架和数字经济蓝图进一步推动了人工智能在个人和专业领域的应用，促进其广泛采用并推动技术融合的发展。

例如，像 Gemini (#3 AI) 这样的聊天机器人正在重新定义人们获取信息和保持生产力的方式。马来西亚人还通过使用诸如 Viggle AI (#7 AI) 和 Vidu Studio (#8 AI) 等工具保持创意，这些工具可以在几秒内将文本转化为令人惊叹的视觉效果，为艺术表达和创新开辟了新的途径。

从比追影集到热门大片

《头脑特工队2》（#1 电影）和 《功夫熊猫4》（#6 电影），将备受喜爱的角色重新带回大银幕，让大马人满怀期待地涌入电影院观赏。对于和前作一起长大的影迷来说，这些续集唤起了浓厚的怀旧情感，成为必看的电影佳作。超级英雄爱好者则享受了一系列令人振奋的影片，包括 《死侍》（#2 电影）、《蜘蛛夫人》（#5 电影） 和 《毒液》（#7 电影） ，每部作品都以独特视角展现了超级英雄的魅力，吸引了忠实粉丝和新观众的目光。

电视影集则成为国人在家中放松与产生共鸣的来源。全球热门剧集如 《泪之女王》（#1 电视剧）、《和我老公结婚吧》（#2 电视剧）和 《家族荣曜之继承者》（#3 电视剧）以充满情感的叙事牵动人心，融合了爱情、失去和成长的主题，每周吸引观众持续追剧。像Aku Bukan Ustazah （#4 电视剧）和 《背着善宰跑》（#5 电视剧） 这样的系列剧则成为粉丝的心头好，将文化元素巧妙融入引人入胜的故事之中，展现出真实又感人的情节。

缅怀那些留下深远影响的人

在庆祝亲人陪伴的同时，马来西亚人也通过谷歌向已故人物致敬。前One Direction成员、备受喜爱的 Liam Payne (#1 已故) 的意外离世震惊了全球。另一方面，砂拉越前州元首兼首席部长Taib Mahmud (#2 已故) 的离世则标志着马来西亚政治一个重要篇章的结束。

国家也悼念了几位深受喜爱的知名人物，例如Nidza Afham （#4 已故）、 Hamdan Senario（#6 已故）、Jaafar Onn（#7 已故）、和 Nabil Zamanhuri （#10 已故），他们在娱乐行业的贡献留下了深远影响。在全球范围内，传奇漫画家鸟山明（Akira Toriyama，#5 已故）的离世也引发了大众哀悼。他创作的标志性作品《龙珠》陪伴了许多马来西亚人的童年，这也提醒我们，文化偶像在塑造童年记忆方面具有多么深远的影响。
