For the first time, the Minister of MOSTI, YB Khairy Jamaluddin mentioned the term Science, Technology, Innovation and Economy (STIE) in Parliament and embedded STIE into the new Dasar Sains, Teknologi, dan Inovasi Negara, which allows for the integration of the sciences with the economy for impact creation to be formally acknowledged.<\/p>\n

The meeting also announced the 2019 Senior Fellow, Academician Professor Datuk Dr Halimaton Hamdan FASc. Datuk Dr Halimaton\u2019s election was to recognise her tireless effort in building Malaysia\u2019s scientific talent as well as her outstanding achievements and contributions in nanotechnology through research, development, and commercialisation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Recognising the Top Scientific Minds that Invigorate the Nation (Top Research Scientists Malaysia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top-notch Malaysian scientific minds have significantly improved societal well-being and quality of life by advancing the technology of basic needs, maintaining the environmental sustainability as well as improving wealth creation. They carry out researches that scrutinise fundamental facts, disseminate knowledge for future generations and translate their findings for a better nation. These scientific minds, also known as research scientists, have the potential to lead the implementation of Malaysia\u2019s Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) agenda.<\/p>\n

ASM has initiated the Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM) database that aims to recognise the achievements of Malaysian research scientists and position them as role models of excellence and mentors to younger generation of scientists. This online repository is also a hub for knowledge dissemination that can spur the growth of STI in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
