The topic of fake news is not new, as it has been discussed and debated extensively in both traditional and alternative media spaces. Broadly speaking, fake news is a campaign of disinformation with the intention of shaping opinion, introducing bias, or damaging a certain target entity through the spread of false and fabricated news.

The proliferation of social media platforms and messaging apps where information can go viral almost instantaneously amplifies this problem, in comparison to the traditional print media of the past.

The Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports has introduced several programmes and opportunities for youths across the region. One of the most notable programmes is the Corporate Fellowship, introduced in 2019. In the Corporate Fellowship, identified youths undergo several phases of a selections and are placed into the top corporate organisations in Malaysia that develop and implement the national agenda. Some of the companies include Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Malaysia Airlines Bhd, Axiata Group Bhd, AirAsia Bhd, Ernst and Young, Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Telekom Malaysia, Petronas, Shell, MRCB among others.

I was one of the lucky few offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as a Corporate Fellow at Axiata Group Berhad, placed under the mentorship of edotco Malaysia Managing Director Mr Wan Zainal Adileen. Initially I had little knowledge about edotco since it is a business-to-business company, and not an end-user brand. As I quickly learned, edotco is the first and leading regional integrated telecommunications infrastructure services company in Asia. They specialise in end-to-end solutions in the tower services sector including co-locations, build-to-suit, energy, transmission and operations and maintenance (O&M).
