KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has launched the third cohort of its award-winning Accelerated Leadership Programme Series (ALPs), bringing together 40 carefully selected high-potential (HiPo) officers to prepare for future leadership roles in the fast-changing digital and AI-driven era.
The programme, developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Business and Economics at Universiti Malaya, is part of MCMC’s long-term strategy to strengthen its leadership pipeline and ensure continuity in regulatory and industry stewardship.
MCMC, in a statement, said the Accelerated Leadership Programme Series (ALPs) is anchored on three objectives: developing future-ready talent, building critical capabilities to lead organisational transformation, and fostering a high-performance culture with structured career progression.
“Participants will undergo MBA-level training, coupled with a globally recognised Artificial Intelligence certification from the United States Artificial Intelligence Institute (USAII®). The curriculum blends academic coursework with applied leadership development and practical digital competencies aligned with MCMC’s regulatory and developmental mandate,” MCMC said.
“The journey includes a capstone project, leadership masterclasses, executive coaching, and experiential learning. Officers will also be tasked with designing innovation initiatives and representing MCMC in international competitions — providing exposure to global best practices, emerging trends, and cross-border perspectives,” the statement added.
MCMC emphasised that the ALPs reflects its broader commitment to systematic leadership development, talent progression, and organisational readiness, ensuring the Commission remains agile and effective in addressing future regulatory, industry, and technological challenges. – February 4, 2026
