马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣周三表示，SpaceX向该国捐赠了50套Starlink卫星互联网设备，以增强灾害应对能力。
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Wednesday that SpaceX has donated 50 Starlink satellite internet kits to Malaysia to bolster disaster preparedness.
这一捐赠是在安瓦尔与SpaceX代表团在马来西亚行政中心普特拉贾亚会面时宣布的。
The US aerospace company’s donation was announced during a meeting between Anwar and a SpaceX delegation in Malaysia’s administrative capital, Putrajaya.
安瓦尔在X（美国社交媒体平台）上发文称，双方讨论的重点是通过Starlink服务加强合作，扩大网络覆盖范围，特别是偏远地区的连接。
In a post on US social media company X, Anwar said discussions focused on strengthening cooperation through Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, to expand connectivity, particularly for people living in remote areas.
他提到Starlink正在支持政府推进JENDELA数字基础设施计划，旨在提升包括沙巴州、砂拉越州以及马来半岛原住民聚居区在内的地区的互联网质量和覆盖范围。
He said Starlink was supporting the government’s efforts under the JENDELA digital infrastructure initiative to expand coverage and improve internet quality, including in remote areas of Sabah and Sarawak and Orang Asli settlements in Peninsular Malaysia.
安瓦尔还对Starlink在赛博吉亚建立的接入点（PoP）基础设施表示欢迎，认为这将有助于优化本地数据传输并提升用户服务体验。
Anwar also welcomed the operation of Starlink’s Point of Presence (PoP) infrastructure in Cyberjaya, which he said would facilitate local data traffic and improve service quality for users. “Technological progress must bring tangible benefits to the people,” said Anwar.
他强调，技术进步必须为民众带来实际利益，并指出在扩大网络覆盖的同时，网络安全、数据保护和安全上网同样重要。
He added that cybersecurity, data protection and safe internet use should remain priorities alongside the expansion of connectivity. The government wants to ensure that remote communities have access to quality and secure internet services so they are not left behind in development, he added.
马来西亚正越来越多地依赖卫星通信来为传统电信基础设施不足的地区提供互联网服务。
Malaysia has increasingly turned to satellite connectivity to extend internet services to areas where conventional telecommunications infrastructure remains limited.
