Kota Kinabalu: The Institute for Development Studies Sabah (IDS) says one of the hindrances of the development of the digital economy in Sabah is the lack of co-operation in terms of data sharing between the State and Federal agencies. 

Its CEO Anthony Kiob said precious time was wasted to make meaningful and effective progress in the implementation of digital revolution in the State. 

He said this at a discussion on Digital Economy and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), organised by IDS, attended by the main players in the technology innovation industry from the government, private and NGOs sectors in the State.

“Digital economy is the way forward for Sabah,” said Anthony.
