Malaysia needs more locally developed technology and innovation, says investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz.
He said the government’s focus on localisation and high-technology transfer is aimed at creating quality jobs, strengthening technical expertise, and helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) become global suppliers.
“What we want is a ripple effect, where it spurs local innovation, nurtures engineers and technicians, supports training institutions, and drives broader economic growth.
