dialog mostiFRIDAY, 23 AUGUST – The government’s efforts in injecting fund to encourage Research and Development (R & D) including innovation are in line with the competitiveness practiced by other countries to stay competitive and increasing their economic growth rate.

Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Datuk Dr. Ewon Ebin said that Malaysia would surely be marginalised if it does not strive to increase its competitiveness in the international arena.

“Thus, the role of researchers and inventors is important to ensure that research, development and commercialisation (R, D & C) would continue to increase and helps Malaysia towards being a developed country,” he said when officiating at the Dialogue Session With Fund Recipients and Applicants and a Talk on MOSTI Fund.

Datuk Dr. Ewon also announced a collaboration between MOSTI and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) through 16 projects related to marine and agriculture in the 10th Malaysia Plan.

Also present were MOSTI Secretary-General, Dato’ Dr. Rosli Mohamed, Federal Secretary of Sabah, Dato’ Abu Bakar Hassan, UMS Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Harun Abdullah and UMS Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research and Innovation, Prof. Dr. Shahril Yusof. – FL

TunDatukSeriZakiTUESDAY, 20 AUGUST – The new Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Chairman of the Board of Directors, Tun Dato’ Seri Zaki Tun Azmi urged academic staff of UMS to educate students to be forward thinking and more practical.

He said the responsibility of educating the new generation especially university students should be shouldered by academicians so as to produce a generation that is able to contribute to the nation.

“Today, majority of those studying at the university are there because they want to aim for a higher pay, but are not interested in what they are doing. We should change this thinking,” he said at a function with UMS academicians last night. Also present was UMS Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd Harun Abdullah, members of the Board of Directors and principal officers of the University.

Tun Zaki said that lecturers should teach their students how to implement those knowledge learned to their everyday lives or in the working world in future.

“Theoretical knowledge in itself is useless if not practiced” he stressed and emphasised that academicians should set their own Key Performance Indicators (KPI).

More than 200 lecturers were present at the function.
