ASMIC'10

Academy Science Malaysia International Conference (ASMIC) was held on 2-3 /Jun/1010, with a special guest, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.For the 1st day, Tun delivered a speech about 'Building an Innovation Nation'. In his speech, he talked about mind set, that's how 2 change mind set of people to be creative and innovative, and 2 make it as a culture as well in our nation.

Tun also make a comparison between science and geography.where is, science is a field that needed people 2 b creative n innovative 2 master it, because d knowledge in science isn't fix. with continues research by researcher or scientist, science can progress quickly. compare with geographical, it's a fix knowledge. for example, if we study about boundary of a country, it will not change, even it change, it's just a little bit, or with some improvement in that knowledge. It's same with history. So it's not quite difficult for people 2 learn this subject. Moreover, creative n innovative not really needed 2 master these subject, but in science, both criteria r really needed.

At the end of his speech, tun leave a question, weather we really want 2 b a innovative nation, or we will be left by others in this challenging environment.

For the 2nd day,conference was continued with presentation from presenter that from various agencies. They talked a lot about the need of a gd S&T Policy, and National Innovation System (NIS), that are really needed 2 b implemented for us 2 b success in science n technology(S&T) like others, for example Republic of Korea (ROK)
