NSTopinion: Today, scientific advances based on research and development create technologies that produce industrial or commercial goods that affect and enrich humanity in many ways. Knowledge is the key.

Imagine the impact on lives when some early man or woman first shaped a rock or branch into a simple tool. Or saw a stone roll and recognised the idea and potential of the wheel. Or discovered how to control fire. Or first cultivated crops and livestock, eventually freeing people from the individual need to find food daily.

Today, as the world enters the Fourth Industrial Revolution , there is ‘a blurring of boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological worlds’, to quote Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum. The first was by Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah at the launch of SkillsMalaysia 2.0: SKILL4ALL - Towards New-Collar Jobs at the Ipoh Industrial Training Institute on Dec 2.

On that same day elsewhere, at the launch of the National Technical Profession Day, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad underlined some similar messages and said Malaysia is emulating Japan, Germany and the United States in focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects and TVET to produce more skilled technical professionals.
