First of all, GLOW is one of the government's initiatives to Malaysians to create a career by using the Internet as a platform to gain income. The GLOW program is one of the alternatives that have organized by MDEC which is a government agency under Malaysia's Ministry of Communications and Multimedia. GLOW is a digital income-generating program for Malaysians via 'crowdsourcing' method. "Crowdsourcing" means digital revenue generation where work is offered and implemented digitally on a global platform. GLOW is implemented to create a community of capable digital workers. GLOW also introduces freelancing as an alternative career for Malaysians through global digital revenue
On September 24, 2018, I attended a seminar on e-Rezeki (GLOW) organized by the MDEC. The seminar was conducted by Encik Muhd Ihsanuddin Jamhari, he is a master trainer for GLOW and he is also a full-time freelancer. He explained that MDEC is a one of the digital economic platform that widely used by Malaysians, but there is some people do not know about MDEC very well .
Main focus of MDEC program is to help people to generate their income digitally. MDEC divided into two which is, e-Usahawan and e-Rezeki. E-Usahawan is a program that will teach us techniques on how to sell and promote our products in social media such as Facebook, Instagram and etc. Next, he also explains that e-rezeki have rebranding their program into new one named GLOW which is comprises the word Global Online Workforce. This is because they want to avoid confusion among people about e-Rezeki and GLOW. So, we can consider e-Rezeki and GLOW is a same program that have same objectives.
