PRESIDENT & CEO'S REMARKS

As 2018 draws to an end, on behalf of the Management of MIGHT, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the Patron, Board of Directors, Lead and ordinary members, partners and associates, for your continued support and participation in our programs and activities throughout 2018.

Closing 2018 with a bang! On December 17th, we hosted the MIGHT Consultation 2018, where our Patron, the Honourable Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, in the presence of 60 captains of the industry and 4 ministers, delivered his keynote on the theme ‘Riding the waves of the high technology’. This was followed by a dialogue between the Patron and the participants on various topics relating to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and public-private partnership; it was subsequently agreed for MIGHT to develop a National Hi- Tech Industry Agenda 2.0.

Our new mandate and positioning. The moment the Prime Minister agreed to become MIGHT’s Patron on July 4th, in a private meeting with the Chairman and CEO, we immediately geared ourselves to support his high technology agenda. Subsequently, the first task given to MIGHT was to lead and coordinate the development of a new national car project (NNCP). Cementing that mandate, MIGHT remains under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department to develop the high technology industry through partnerships between the public and private sector plus academia.
