We have identified some gaps in the availability of security products during this event, and believe that this should be addressed. At Bigdomain, we are committed to helping Malaysian businesses of all sizes improve their security awareness and thus actively promote the importance of security product offerings during events during the MDD Penang.
Maxis, one of the leading telco in Malaysia, shared on the job platform Colla.Team, which offers digital talent skills from RM500 a month. This is a great option for those looking to hire freelance and contract employees, as it allows them to access a wide pool of talent at a competitive rate.
In addition, Bigdomain, as we aimed to become a leading domain and webhosting company, offered complete websites, payments, digital packages, and domain names at huge discounts. This is a great option for those who are looking to launch or upgrade their online presence quickly and affordably.
