" --- \[Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia — May 2026 \] TSplus announces a major milestone in Southeast Asia with the successful deployment of its Remote Access solution at the Kangar Municipal Council (MP Kangar), the capital municipal authority of Perlis State, Malaysia. Delivered in partnership with Malaysian technology distributor Aswant Group, the project supports Kangar’s ambitious roadmap toward achieving Level 1 certification under the Malaysia Smart City Framework by 2026. This deployment represents the first public TSplus reference in Malaysia and establishes a scalable model for digital transformation across the country’s 114 municipal councils. ## TSplus Enables Secure Remote Access for Malaysia’s Smart City Vision As part of its Smart City modernization strategy, MP Kangar sought a secure, cost-effective, and highly manageable infrastructure capable of supporting both government employees working remotely and Smart City operators managing critical municipal systems. The council required a solution that could provide: * Secure remote access for hybrid government operations * High cybersecurity resilience * Fast disaster recovery and business continuity * Compatibility with existing municipal applications and peripherals * Simplified administration for IT teams * Lower infrastructure costs compared to traditional PC environments  After evaluating available technologies, MP Kangar selected TSplus Remote Access as the foundation of its new digital workspace environment. ## TSplus to Power Secure Hybrid Government Operations with Fast Deployment and Centralized Administration The solution, designed and implemented by Aswant, combines: * [TSplus Remote Access](https://tsplus.net/remote-access/) * Centerm Enterprise thin clients * KasperskyOS cyber immunity technology integrated at device level * TSplus Universal Printing * A dedicated RDP-generated connection client for simplified user access The unified platform enables both local and remote users to access municipal applications securely through a single interface while maintaining a highly streamlined user experience. Implementation was completed in **less than one week**. Today, MP Kangar’s IT department can centrally manage the entire infrastructure while ensuring exceptional operational resilience. In the event of device failure, users can replace endpoints within two minutes without affecting municipal data or services. The project also delivers significant return on investment through reduced hardware costs and simplified maintenance. ## A Repeatable Smart City Model for Municipal Councils Across Malaysia The success of the deployment positions the Kangar Municipal Council project as a reference model for local governments seeking practical Smart City infrastructure solutions that balance innovation, cybersecurity, and budget efficiency. With additional opportunities already emerging in other Malaysian municipalities, including Kulim in 2026, the partnership demonstrates the growing demand for lightweight, secure, and scalable remote access technologies across Southeast Asia. > **Mohd Norfaizal Aizal Bin Abd Razak, CIO of Kangar Municipal Council** > > “_Smart City is a strategic goal for our team, from the Mayor to every engineer involved in the project.
