STI Must Drive Malaysia’s Economic Resilience Amid Global Uncertainty – PM Anwar Ibrahim

PUTRAJAYA, May 11 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today stressed that science, technology and innovation (STI) must become the main driver of Malaysia’s economic transformation in facing growing global financial uncertainties and geopolitical challenges, including the post-conflict energy crisis in West Asia. Anwar said every aspect of planning and implementation related to STI development must be mobilised in a more strategic and effective manner to ensure the country remains resilient amid an increasingly fragile global economic chain. He said the MADANI Government remains fully committed to strengthening the national STI ecosystem through several mission-based initiatives aimed at optimising resources, stimulating sustainable economic growth and accelerating the development of high-value technologies and innovations. According to the Prime Minister, the approach is crucial in reinforcing strategic synergy between the government, private sector and research and development (R&D) institutions to ensure research outcomes can be translated into tangible benefits for the people and the nation. “Science, technology and innovation must not remain within laboratories or policy documents alone, but must be transformed into practical solutions that strengthen the economy, create quality jobs and improve the people’s well-being,” he said. Anwar said this while chairing the National Science Council (MSN) Meeting No. 1 for 2026 today. He added that stronger collaboration between all stakeholders would also position Malaysia as a competitive regional hub for innovation and advanced technology development in the years ahead. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE: FB ANWAR IBRAHIM

SEPANG, May 5 -- The aerotrain service at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is expected to resume 24-hour operations by the end of this month, pending approval from the relevant authorities, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke. He said all necessary tests have been carried out by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), and a full report is currently being submitted to the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) for further assessment. “It is expected that after APAD’s approval, by the end of this month the aerotrain will resume 24-hour operations,” he told a press conference after launching the MyKLIA and MyPutrajaya Monthly TravelCard (MTC) at KLIA Terminal 2 (T2) here today. Elaborating further, Loke said the aerotrain is currently still in operation but is halted for a few hours at night to allow for maintenance and inspections. “It is still operating, but we suspend services for a few hours at night to carry out track maintenance and inspections,” he said. On Nov 14 last year, MAHB reiterated its commitment to strengthening the reliability of the KLIA aerotrain system through the implementation of a comprehensive action plan (CAP) to fully address technical issues that emerged since the service resumed in July 2025. Previously, Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah said that the KLIA Terminal 1 Aerotrain had recorded 19 incidents between July 2 and Sept 30, due to various issues, including human-related incidents such as passengers forcing train doors open. Since resuming operations on July 1, the aerotrain system has served about seven million passengers, completed more than 53,000 return trips, and recorded an operational service availability (OSA) of 98.41 per cent. -- BERNAMA
