| Summary: | MALAYSIA, like Cuba, views science and technology (S&T) as important in advancing its socioeconomic
status.
S&T are high priorities in Malaysia's quest to be a developed country as envisaged under the framework of
Vision 2020.
In fact, one of the challenges of Vision 2020 is to build a society that is scientifically progressive, a society that
is innovative and forwardlooking;
one that is not only a consumer of technology but also a contributor to the
scientific and technological community.
Much has been achieved in promoting S&T, particularly in transforming Malaysia into an industrial nation. The
development of electronic, automotive and more recently, IT industries are some of the S&Tbased
ventures
that Malaysia can be proud of. |
