The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) is a world-first, world-class act to help companies of the world test the limits of technology and prepare themselves for the future. The MSC will also accelerate Malaysia's entry into the Information Age, and through it, help actualise Vision 2020. The MSC brings together, for the first time ever, an integrated environment with all the unique elements and attributes necessary to create the perfect global multimedia climate. To spearhead the development of the MSC and give shape to its environment, seven primary areas for multimedia applications have been identified.

It seeks to improve the convenience, accessibility, and quality of interactions with citizens and businesses; simultaneously, it will improve information flows and processes within government to improve the speed and quality of policy development, coordination, and enforcement.
