It has been sixty years since we gain our independence from the British in 1957. Looking at some of the old photos taken from that era, Malaysia has progressed rapidly since then. Towns have turned to cities, cars and buses are moving side-by-side with the mass rapid transits (MRTs) and light rapid transits (LRTs), there is hardly payphones anymore because everyone is carrying their own mobile phones, and so on. Malaysia has indeed came a long way.
Under the Science to Action (S2A) Initiative which the Prime Minister launched two years ago, we are on the cusp of a major transformation of science in this country, involving its governance, the participation of the private sector and the buy-in of the people. We hope our rhetoric could be translated into action beginning with the 11th Malaysia Plan starting next year.
As a nation, our future competitive advantage will rely largely on our strength and depth of s&t-based innovation capacity. Otherwise, our ability to compete in the global marketplace will be severely jeopardised. If we do not do the right things today, especially in the field of education, when the time comes, it will be too late as the real outcome of what we do today will only be realised 20 to 30 years from now.
