As Malaysia prepares to celebrate Pesta Kaamatan and Hari Gawai, CelcomDigi is introducing Maya, an AI-powered chatbot created in collaboration with Replyr.ai. This chatbot aims to help revive native Bornean languages such as Iban and Dusun, offering an accessible way for users to engage with and learn ancestral dialects.
The inspiration behind Maya is brought to life through a short festive film by CelcomDigi. It tells the story of a young Iban girl, Maya, who embarks on a journey across a Borneo landscape in search of forgotten native words. Motivated by her grandfather’s reminder that these languages are fading, she becomes determined to preserve them for future generations.
At the same time, CelcomDigi also did a Misi Kereta Api initiative in Sabah and Sarawak, conducted in collaboration with Kupi Kupi FM. The team travelled by train from Kota Kinabalu to Beaufort and from Kuching to Durin, reaching a longhouse community in Sarawak. This latest campaign builds on CelcomDigi’s past efforts to highlight the cultural richness of East Malaysia, including traditions and languages while exploring how technology can bridge generations and support cultural continuity.
In conjunction with the Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations, CelcomDigi is also offering several seasonal deals:
- Free one-month Viu Premium access via StreamMORE Add-Ons, which also includes 5GB of extra internet (available for first-time StreamMORE Viu subscribers).
- 2999GB Internet Pass for just RM8, valid for 4 days—ideal for streaming and gaming.
