MOSTI (Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation) is now aiming to produce Nobel Prize Winners from among local scientists. There is no timeline specified at this time.
For now, several efforts are being carried out to achieve the matter. Among them is the implementation of initiatives through local universities to foster the thinking of Nobel Laureates, in addition to the Malaysian Science Academy which has implemented programs such as organizing lectures, scientific discussions and science motivation sessions.
Since 2004, Malaysia has also sent 84 young scientists to participate in the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting - where Nobel Laureates usually gather to present their research findings.
Together we are looking forward to the development in this arena of science and innovation, until we successfully attend with a number of Nobel Prize Winners.
