MALAYSIAN TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC OUTLOOK 2019/2020

“Test beds” for local environments had to be formulated and tested as part of the adoption and adaption processes of this new emerging and game changing technology. Results recorded in this exercise serve as inputs in the Regulatory Framework for use of Autonomous Vehicles Certification Standards & Test Facilities and expedite the technology adaptation in Malaysia. Such technology is expected to generate environmental, social, and economic positive impacts to the country. It should be taken as an opportunity to rejuvenate Malaysia’s high technology industry, especially in the E&E sector where it is considered the gem of Malaysia’s economy. The task is not insurmountable, especially considering the existing capabilities like in the E&E ecosystem that has had already been built since the late 60s. One wonders if it is necessary to have the third national car project being lauded and has received widely responded from all walks of life. Automobile is one of the platforms in acquiring new technology advancements, human capital development, GDP contribution and job creation to the “rakyat” and sustainability of strategic industries, especially in handling the advancement of new technology at a much faster rate nowadays. To achieve the aspiration of Malaysia to become the technology innovator or provider and move a step ahead from the current scenario of technology as users or assemblers; we should look into opportunities of leveraging on our currents strength and tap this window of opportunity to enhance sustainability within the E&E industry and reap its spill overs. This can be achieved by moving up the value chain as suggested in the solar industry roadmap through appropriate applicable strategic interventions and focusing on certain industries sector like the AV industry sector.
