MSC Malaysia. The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) program was launched by Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia (1981-2003), circa 1996. The establishment of the MSC program was crucial to accelerate the objectives of Vision 2020 and to transform Malaysia into a modern state by the year 2020, with the adoption of a knowledge-based society framework (Jeong, 2007).

The MSC flagship applications were launched to boost the MSC Malaysia initiatives and to create a multimedia utopia (hub) for innovative producers and users of multimedia technology.
