Prakata

Saya amat berbesar hati atas penghormatan yang diberi kepada saya untuk berkongsi pandangan mengenai Laporan Tahunan Akademi Sains Malaysia (ASM) 2015 sempena sambutan ulang tahun ke-20 ASM. ASM harus berbangga di atas usaha gigih dan sumbangannya terhadap perkembangan sains, teknologi dan inovasi (STI) negara. Sebagai sebuah agensi di bawah Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi (MOSTI), ASM telah mencapai kejayaan signifikan dalam mengukuhkan ekosistem STI melalui kajian perdana yang dijalankan, promosi program berkaitan sains dan teknologi (S&T) serta kerjasama antarabangsa.

Saya berharap agar ASM akan terus berusaha memberikan sumbangan intelek yang menarik dalam bidang berkaitan STI dan memberikan cadangan dasar yang teguh kepada kerajaan. Melalui kajian flagship seperti Science Outlook dan Envisioning Malaysia 2050 Foresight Initiative, ASM dapat memberikan data STI yang tepat dan boleh dipercayai bagi penggubalan dasar. Ini dapat membantu agensi yang berkaitan mengkaji semula dasar dan pendekatan semasa mereka.

Laporan Science Outlook yang pertama telah menerima pengiktirafan Kerajaan melalui National Science Council (NSC) yang dipengerusikan oleh Perdana Menteri. Isu dan cadangan yang diketengahkan di dalam laporan ini telah menggesa agar tindakan tertentu diambil seperti syor NSC untuk membentuk Pelan Tindakan STEM Nasional bersepadu yang melibatkan MOSTI, Kementerian Pelajaran (KPM) dan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT).

Di samping itu, kerajaan Malaysia akan terus menyediakan platform untuk International Science, Technology and Innovation Centre (ISTIC) dan International Council for Science (ICSU) bagi menerajui intervensi STI di peringkat antarabangsa, terutamanya di kalangan negara-negara membangun.

MOSTI, melalui ASM, memainkan peranan penting dalam menyokong ‘Dasar untuk STI’ dan ‘STI untuk Dasar’, yang merupakan teras utama Dasar

Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi Negara (DSTIN) dalam membina ekosistem yang mapan untuk pembangunan sosioekonomi negara. STI untuk Dasar mengambil kira keperluan semua dasar di Malaysia yang mengandungi unsur STI. Melalui pendekatan ini, kita mampu mengintegrasikan elemen STI dalam semua dasar negara dan menempatkan STI dalam rantaian pelaksanaan secara keseluruhan. Dengan ini, STI tidak lagi dianggap sebagai intervensi yang berasingan, tetapi dapat bergabung dengan bidang ekonomi & kewangan, geopolitik, masyarakat dan budaya untuk proses penjanaan idea yang mapan ke arah transformasi sosio-ekonomi.

Saya amat berbangga kerana ASM telah diiktiraf sebagai entiti bebas bagi rakyat Malaysia melibatkan diri dalam perbincangan intelektual berkaitan isuisu utama dalam STI. ASM adalah penting kepada Kerajaan dalam memberikan input dan inisiatif strategik yang berkaitan dengan dasar STI sama seperti badan pemikir lain seperti Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia (ISIS) bagi dasar sosial dan antarabangsa serta Institut Penyelidikan Ekonomi Malaysia (MIER) bagi dasar ekonomi. Saya berharap agar Science Outlook diinstitusikan sebagai sumber rujukan dalam hal berkaitan lanskap STI negara setanding dengan Malaysian Economic Outlook.

Prakata Laporan Tahunan 2015 mengandungi keterangan mengenai pencapaian ASM yang terserlah melalui wacana intelek, seminar, bengkel, persidangan dan kajian berkaitan STI. Hasil kajian yang dijalankan telah diterbitkan dan menjadi bahan rujukan berguna bukan sahaja di kalangan pembuat dasar, tetapi juga kepada pihak berkepentingan lain seperti komuniti saintifik, ahli ekonomi dan pengamal industri.

Kajian yang dijalankan merangkumi pelbagai bidang seperti Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), nadir bumi, foresight 2050, ekosistem STI negara dan pendidikan Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik (STEM).

ASM dalam Laporan Science Outlook 2015 telah mengutarakan penemuannya dan memberi cadangan penting, perspektif yang tepat dengan penandaan aras serta hala tuju penyelesaian ke arah pembaharuan STI yang inklusif dan bersepadu dalam bidang kritikal untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan daya saing negara.

Sumbangan ini telah menyumbang ke arah usaha transformasi MOSTI dalam memacu agenda STI negara dengan berpandukan DSTIN. Walaupun beberapa kejayaan telah dicapai terutamanya dari segi penerokaan, pembangunan dan penggunaan STI bagi penjanaan ilmu, kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan masyarakat, banyak lagi perkara yang perlu dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan potensi STI sepenuhnya.

Tumpuan dan usaha yang berterusan perlu diberikan dalam mengukuhkan keupayaan STI negara, menangani cabaran atau isu asas, membina keupayaan dan akhirnya muncul sebagai model kecemerlangan STI serantau. Dalam hal ini, kualiti pendidikan STEM, kesedaran yang berimpak, orientasi STI di kalangan belia negara ini, infrastruktur STI yang lebih baik, profesional STI terlatih, objektif STI yang tertumpu dan penetapan sasaran yang praktikal, mencabar dan realistik menjadi prasyarat.

Saya berharap ASM terus berusaha untuk memainkan peranan penting dalam menangani isu-isu ini. Komitmen yang kuat dan dedikasi serta semangat Felo dan kakitangan Akademi terbukti dalam Laporan ini. Oleh itu, saya ingin merakamkan penghargaan yang tinggi kepada profesionalisme dan sumbangan mereka.

Titipan dari

Presiden Tahun ini merakamkan detik yang bersejarah kerana ia merupakan ulangtahun ke-20 Akademi Sains Malaysia (ASM) sejak penubuhannya sebagai badan berkanun di bawah Akta Parlimen 1995.

Tempoh 20 tahun ini telah mencatatkan perjalanan ASM dari permulaan yang sederhana ke arah pembangunan yang signifikan dan berimpak. Ini jelas dengan adanya kajian dan program ASM yang meluas, mendalam dan berpengaruh. ASM sebagai Peneraju Pemikir berusaha untuk menyampaikan output yang bebas, boleh dipercayai, relevan serta nasihat dan advokasi saintifik yang tepat pada masanya.

Jaringan, Hubungan dan Aspirasi Kepakaran ASM Tenaga penggerak ASM terdiri daripada jaringan kepakaran dan hubungan strategik antara pelbagai platform nasional dan antarabangsa yang efektif.

Jaringan kepakaran dan inisiatif strategik, kajian dan program ASM telah berkembang sebanyak lima kali ganda sejak dua dekad yang lalu. Bermula dengan 50 Felo asas, kini ASM mempunyai jaringan kepakaran yang terdiri dari tujuh Felo kehormat, 26 Felo kanan, 278 Felo, 28 Associates, 57 ahli Young Scientists Network dan 110 Top Research Scientists Malaysia.

Laporan tahunan ini merakamkan dan menyampaikan kajian, program dan inisiatif ASM. Saya berharap laporan ini bukan sahaja menunjukkan aktiviti ASM sepanjang tahun 2015 tetapi juga dapat menyampaikan mesej utama dalam pelbagai bidang fokus dan aspirasi ASM. ASM sebagai sebuah akademi sains yang masih muda bertekad untuk membezakan ASM dengan akademi-akademi sains sedunia lain yang kaya dengan legasi bijak pandai dengan cara menggabungkan komitmen dan semangat yang jitu.

Kami komited untuk menerajui pembangunan STI negara dan daya saing global tanpa jemu. Dengan ini, jelas menunjukkan inisiatif yang dijalankan oleh ASM mengatasi disiplin S&T konvensional dan mampu meningkatkan keperluan sains sosial, kemanusiaan dan perspektif ekonomi untuk dipertimbangkan di dalam perbincangan kita. Ini merupakan berita baik kepada rakan kerjasama dari luar bidang STI. Terdapat banyak peluang untuk kita bekerja dan menyumbang bersama. ASM menerima pakai pendekatan inklusif untuk menggalakkan penggabungan sains dengan ekonomi & kewangan, geopolitik serta masyarakat & budaya. Walaupun STI penting dalam menangani cabaran global yang menjejaskan penghuni bumi, namun kita tidak boleh bekerja secara sendirian.

Adalah mustahak untuk kita menguna pakai pendekatan berbentuk transformatif dan integratif.

Menyampaikan Input STI Tahun ini, ASM telah menyiapkan lapan kajian yang mempunyai kepentingan nasional, manakala, 11 kajian lagi masih berjalan. Kajian strategik ASM dibahagikan kepada empat tema iaitu Malaysia 2050, penjelmaan teknologi baru, kelestarian sains dan sosio-ekonomi. Aspek asas ekosistem, keupayaan dan sumber S&T di teliti dalam setiap kajian bagi memastikan cadangan yang diberi membawa pandangan yang holistik.

Pelancaran laporan Science Outlook 2015 yang diterbitkan julung kalinya telah menyumbang kepada satu detik bersejarah ASM dalam kajian perdana ASM. Science Outlook membentangkan pandangan bebas berkaitan trend utama STI di Malaysia. Barangkali terdapat beberapa perkara yang ditekankan dalam laporan Science Outlook merupakan isu yang sedia ada tetapi buat pertama kalinya terdapat data dan dokumen sokongan bagi menyokong kenyataan tersebut turut disertakan bersama cadangan untuk menanganinya secara efektif. Ini telah mendapat banyak perhatian dan menimbulkan perbincangan di kalangan pihak berkepentingan. ASM berharap untuk menerbitkan Science Outlook setiap dua tahun sekali untuk digunakan sebagai bahan rujukan bagi membolehkan keputusan dibuat berdasarkan maklumat.

Satu lagi kajian flagship ASM yang dikenali sebagai Malaysia 2050 merangkumi Kajian Mega Sains dan Foresight. Kajian ini meramal kedudukan Malaysia pada tahun 2050, membincangkan peneraju perubahan sosial, ekonomi dan geo-politik selain membuat cadangan ekosistem yang perlu dibangunkan dan pelaburan STI yang perlu diberi keutamaan untuk memastikan kejayaan di masa hadapan. Kajian Mega Sains memberi gambaran masa hadapan yang diinginkan secara keseluruhan dan menggabungkannya dengan sektor ekonomi yang spesifik.

Kajian ini kemudian membincangkan bagaimana STI dapat digunakan untuk mencapai masa hadapan yang diinginkan.

Tahun ini, fasa ketiga Mega Sains melibatkan lima sektor industri iaitu Perabot, Automotif, Kreatif, Pelancongan serta Plastik dan Komposit.

Buat pertama kalinya, ASM telah membawa lima badan pemikir dan institusi negara untuk mewujudkan pakatan foresight untuk menjalankan kajian di bawah ‘Envisioning Malaysia in 2050 Foresight Initiative’. Kajian inter-disiplin ini meramal kedudukan Malaysia berdasarkan empat komponen iaitu S&T, masyarakat & budaya, ekonomi & kewangan dan tadbir urus. Kajian ini akan memberikan cadangan dan mengenalpasti bidang strategik utama selain menggalakkan penggunaan foresighting sebagai DNA dalam perancangan

strategik kebangsaan. Malaysia boleh menggunakan kekuatan semasa untuk merangka kejayaan masa hadapan melalui aktiviti foresight.

Apa yang penting adalah kita perlu bertindak sekarang untuk memastikan kualiti hidup rakyat yang mampan, terhubung, makmur, aman dan harmoni terjamin di masa hadapan setaraf dengan trend global. Laporan ASM Foresight Initiative dijangka siap pada tahun 2016.

ASM sentiasa berusaha untuk menangani isu utama negara melalui perspektif STI. Contoh terbaik adalah kajian air ASM yang telah dijalankan sejak 2008 dan kini ianya diiktiraf dan menjadi rujukan pelbagai pihak berkepentingan dari kementerian dan agensi Kerajaan dan juga badan bukan kerajaan. Kejayaan ini adalah hasil dari laporan kajian air ASM yang menyeluruh serta kepimpinan yang berwawasan didokong oleh Jawatankuasa Air ASM serta penglibatan kepakaran pelbagai disiplin dan antara sektor.

Dengan berpaksikan kepada Pengurusan Sumber Air Bersepadu (IWRM) sebagai teras, jawatankuasa ini telah membentuk IWRM 11 sub-tema berasingan berdasarkan aplikasi praktikal dalam konteks Malaysia. Kajian menyeluruh dijalankan bagi setiap sub-tema ini di mana pelan strategi atau laporan nasihat dihasilkan bagi pertimbangan dan pelaksanaan agensi yang bertanggungjawab. Tahun ini, kajian bagi sub-tema Pengurusan Lembangan Sungai Bersepadu, Pengurusan Permintaan Air serta Bekalan dan Pengurusan Sisa Air telah disempurnakan.

Dalam bidang tenaga pula, kajian ASM difokuskan kepada penghasilan tenaga hijau melalui teknologi. Malaysia telah bertindak

10

AR2015BMVERSION.indd 10

4/21/16 7:51 PM

untuk menangani krisis keselamatan tenaga dan risiko perubahan iklim dengan mempelbagaikan sumber tenaga yang merangkumi sumber tenaga boleh diperbaharui dan tenaga alternatif serta membangunkan teknologi tenaga hijau untuk masa hadapan. Berikutan dengan itu, tahun ini ASM telah menghasilkan tiga laporan nasihat iaitu Penggunaan dan Kecekapan Tenaga dalam Pengangkutan, Tenaga Bebas Karbon dan Industri Sel Bahan Api di Malaysia.

Menerajui Bakat STEM Sebahagian penting fungsi ASM adalah untuk menyumbang ke arah membangun dan mengekalkan tenaga kerja saintifik negara yang mantap dari pelbagai bidang. Oleh itu, ASM menerajui pengembangan bakat dan pendidikan dalam bidang Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik (STEM). Inisiatif ini dipantau oleh Jawatankuasa Pendidikan Sains ASM yang komited.

Young Scientists Network (YSN-ASM) menghimpunkan saintis muda Malaysia yang cemerlang di bawah satu jaringan dan menyediakan landasan bagi saintis muda ini menerajui beberapa inisiatif yang signifikan. Sebagai pelapis kepada pemimpin masa hadapan, kumpulan saintis muda ini digerakkan untuk menjalankan program STEM di sekolah seluruh Malaysia, menyampaikan STI dengan efektif selain menggalakkan Pelaksanaan Penyelidikan Beretika (RCR) di kalangan komuniti saintifik. Melalui YSN, ASM dapat berhubung dengan generasi muda secara efektif dan memberi gambaran STI yang positif melalui saintis muda yang dilihat sebagai role model yang kontemporari dan cemerlang.

ASM turut memfokuskan pembangunan budaya kecemerlangan STI dengan memberi penekanan kepada tiga elemen utama iaitu bakat, jaringan dan pengiktirafan. Sebahagian daripada usaha untuk memperkukuhkan budaya kecemerlangan STI ialah, ASM memudahcara kolaborasi dan pertukaran kepakaran dengan pusat kecemerlangan antarabangsa dan institusi STI. Tujuan utama usaha ini adalah untuk menjadi pemangkin bagi kejayaan yang cemerlang di dalam bidang STI selain untuk membangunkan saintis Malaysia yang berkaliber yang mampu meraih pengiktirafan antarabangsa. ASM turut berperanan sebagai rakan pemudahcara antara institusi Malaysia dan pusat kecemerlangan antarabangsa bagi tujuan kerjasama penyelidikan dan pembangunan modal insan yang mampu mendokong usaha kerajaan bagi membina keupayaan dan kapasiti STI negara.

Melalui usaha ini, lima saintis muda telah diberi peluang untuk menemui Pemenang Hadiah Nobel tahun ini dengan menghadiri Mesyuarat Tahunan Lindau di Jerman. Selain itu, saintis muda juga telah terpilih untuk menghadiri Young Physician Leaders Programme anjuran InterAcademy Medical Panel, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Summer Student Programme (CSSP) dan Young Scientists Summer Programme anjuran International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

Meletakkan Malaysia dalam Arena STI Global

Penghargaan

ASM juga memainkan peranan dalam membantu komuniti saintifik Malaysia melalui pelbagai platform untuk berhubung dengan komuniti saintifik global bagi membuka peluang perkongsian ilmu, pembinaan kepakaran serta mengukuhkan kapasiti dan keupayaan STI dalam konteks pembangunan sains dan teknologi global.

ASM sangat menghargai sokongan dan kerjasama yang diberikan oleh pihak Kerajaan, memandangkan semua kajian dan program ASM pada tahun 2015 telah melibatkan sebanyak 20 kementerian. Khususnya, ASM bekerja rapat dengan MOSTI dan kami berhasrat untuk terus menyokong inisiatif MOSTI ke arah pencapaian hasil yang positif. Saya juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada institusi pengajian tinggi awam dan swasta, institut penyelidikan, penggiat industri dan sektor korporat yang telah bekerjasama dengan ASM melalui pelbagai platform untuk merealisasikan objektif bersama. Tanpa kerjasama dan kolaborasi penting ini, ASM dan Felo tidak mungkin dapat menjadi peneraju pemikir STI negara.

ASM terus menunjukkan komitmennya di arena STI antarabangsa melalui keahlian strategik dalam jaringan pelbagai hala, bergiat aktif dalam tadbir urus jaringan ini serta mengambil bahagian dalam interaksi saintifik global penting iaitu Konsortium Sains serta Newton-Ungku Omar Fund (NUOF), program kerjasama antara Kerajaan UK dan Malaysia.

Global R&D Leaders and CEOs Forum merupakan fora utama ASM yang telah dianjurkan pada tahun 2015. Bertemakan “Injecting Soul into R&D�, fora ini bersandarkan kepada idea untuk menggerakkan P&P manjangkaui tekanan pengkomersialan dan perniagaan yang memberi impak dan keuntungan yang nyata kepada komuniti. Fora ini telah menghimpunkan golongan pemimpin P&P dan KPE, visionaries, perintis perubahan dan aktivis sosial untuk merancang hala tuju bagi memenuhi keperluan golongan miskin tegar.

Pelancaran Network of ASEAN Science Academies (Net-ASA) yang telah diketuai oleh ASM merupakan satu lagi acara utama bagi tahun ini. Net-ASA merupakan platform bebas bagi akademi-akademi sains negara ASEAN untuk memberi saranan yang boleh dipercayai bagi pembentukan dasar dalam pembangunan ekonomi, sosial dan budaya. Platform ini dapat memastikan suara ASEAN yang sepadu diterima oleh pemimpin sedunia selain mengukuhkan kapasiti dan keupayaan STI di semua lapan negara ahli ASEAN. Penubuhan Net-ASA ini juga bertepatan dengan penubuhan ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

Saya juga ingin menyampaikan penghargaan saya kepada semua pengerusi dan ahli-ahli Jawatankuasa, Badan Bertindak dan Kumpulan Kerja ASM yang telah menyumbangkan kepakaran dan meluangkan masa mereka secara sukarela. Selain itu, terima kasih diucapkan kepada kumpulan pengurusan dan kakitangan ASM yang rajin dan berdedikasi yang telah menyumbang ke arah pelaksanaan program yang dirancang dengan jayanya.

Kita perlu terus memanfaatkan STI dan mengambil peluang berlandaskan paradigma pengetahuan sepenuhnya serta berinovasi untuk terus bersaing dan kekal relevan. Bagi mencapai matlamat ini, ASM terus bersemangat untuk mengarusperdanakan STI untuk transformasi sosio-ekonomi negara.

Hala Tuju Berdasarkan ulasan enam teras strategic DSTIN dan mengambilkira prestasi Malaysia sehingga kini, Science Outlook 2015 telah mengenalpasti dan mensyorkan 18 cadangan untuk menggerakkan tindakan di bahagian yang kritikal.

Perkara utama yang ditekankan adalah input dan intervensi STI tidak seharusnya dilihat sekadar menyokong penggubalan dasar atau membantu dalam penentuan keputusan sahaja, tetapi ianya harus diterapkan sebagai sebahagian daripada ekosistem pelaksanaan dasar ke arah mencapai sasaran yang telah ditetapkan.Kedua, STI hendaklah digabungkan dengan ekonomi & kewangan, tadbir urus, geopolitik serta masyarakat & budaya, untuk memantapkan proses penjanaan idea untuk transformasi sosio-ekonomi.

Akhir sekali, kita perlu memupuk pemikiran transformative, perancangan bersepadu dan pelaksanaan inklusif untuk mengarusperdanakan STI dalam pembangunan negara.

Pengurusan Lembangan Sungai Bersepadu (IRBM) Kertas Posisi Kajian ke atas Status dan Isu Pengurusan Lembangan Sungai Bersepadu (IRBM) di Malaysia yang telah siap pada 2014 telah mengenalpasti tiga faktor utama yang mengekang perkembangan IRBM di Malaysia. Melalui Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (DID) Malaysia, EPU telah menerima syor ASM dalam membangunkan pelan IRBM bagi 25 lembangan sungai di Malaysia di bawah Rancangan Malaysia ke-11 dan sebagai pelan tindakan di bawah Strategi Penggunaan Lembangan Sungai dan Tanah.

Kurang keseragaman undang-undang berkaitan air

lembaran fakta

12 dari 189 lembangan sungai di Malaysia telah melaksanakan IRBM setakat bulan Nov 2014.

85 dari 189 lembangan sungai berisiko mengalami banjir yang kerap.

9% kawasan di Malaysia mudah mengalami banjir.

Anggaran kerosakan tahunan akibat banjir di Malaysia ialah RM915 juta.

Banjir di Kelantan, Terengganu, Perak, Pahang, Johor, Sabah dan Sarawak telah mengakibatkan kerosakan infrastruktur bernilai hampir RM2.9 bilion (Dis 2014 – Jan 2015).

Laporan ini mengesyorkan 37 lembangan sungai yang mempunyai potensi ekonomi yang tinggi (cth: pertanian dan air minuman) untuk diberi keutamaan dalam pelaksanaan Pelan IRBM.

“Dalam COP21, Malaysia telah mengistiharkan komitmennya untuk mengurangkan pelepasan gas rumah hijau kepada 45% berdasarkan Produk Domestik Kasar sebelum 2030�

YB Dato’ Dr Haji Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar Menteri Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar

Pelepasan gas rumah hijau berpunca dari aktiviti harian manusia telah terbukti sebagai penyumbang utama kepada pemanasan global dan perubahan iklim. 90% dari sumber tenaga sedunia yang terhad adalah terdiri dari tenaga fosil, dan ianya dijangka akan habis diguna dalam masa terdekat ini. Keadaan ini boleh mencetuskan krisis tenaga disebabkan jurang penghasilan dan permintaan tenaga fosil semakin meningkat.

Kebanyakan negara termasuk Malaysia telah mengambil tindakan dalam krisis sekuriti tenaga dan perubahan iklim dengan mempelbagaikan sumber tenaga masing-masing. Antaranya ialah dengan mengambil kira tenaga boleh diperbaharui dan tenaga alternatif serta membangunkan teknologi tenaga hijau untuk masa hadapan. Menyedari kepentingan sektor tenaga di Malaysia, ASM telah menjalankan beberapa kajian berkaitan sektor tenaga dengan tujuan menangani isu dan cabaran yang dijangka akan dihadapi di masa hadapan.

Tenaga Bebas Karbon: Pelan Tindakan untuk Malaysia Pelan tindakan ini mensasarkan untuk menilai potensi kepelbagaian sumber tenaga dan tindakan yang perlu diambil untuk mewujudkan masa depan bebas karbon di Malaysia. Pelan tindakan ini menyediakan rangka kerja kuantitatif bagi membolehkan penggubal dasar memahami penawaran dan

permintaan tenaga pada masa hadapan.

Oleh itu, dasar yang bersesuaian dapat digubal bagi menangani isu dan cabaran berkaitan tenaga. Pelan tindakan ini memfokus kepada sektor tenaga elektrik, dengan tempoh sasaran 2015-2050. Berikut adalah dua senario yang telah dibangunkan untuk pelan tindakan ini:

Senario 1 : Mendapatkan gabungan sumber tenaga bebas karbon dalam penjanaan elektrik menjelang tahun 2050 Sumber tenaga bebas karbon telah diperkenalkan dan menjelang tahun 2050 bahan api fosil tidak lagi digunakan dan digantikan dengan lapan jenis sumber tenaga alternatif.

1 Penukaran Tenaga Terma Lautan (OTEC) meyumbang sekitar 41% penjanaan tenaga elektrik terutamanya untuk penghasilan hidrogen.

2 Tenaga angin terhasil dari kincir angin dalam dan luar persisir menjadi sumber kedua terbesar dalam penghasilan tenaga elektrik.

3 Penggabungan tenaga ombak dan arus pasang-surut akan menjadi sumber penting untuk masa hadapan.

4 Tenaga solar PV membekal tenaga pada waktu tengahari yang juga merupakan waktu kemuncak permintaan tenaga.

5 Sisa pepejal perbandaran dan biogas akan menjadi sumber utama tenaga bio dalam

penjanaan elektrik meskipun terdapat banyak sisa minyak sawit hasil dari industri tersebut.

6 Loji kuasa nuklear jenis 2GW akan dibina sebelum 2025 sebagai pelan jangka sederhana untuk membekal tenaga elektrik bebas karbon.

7 Kuasa hidro akan diteruskan untuk kegunaan loji memuncak dan bekalan simpanan.

8 Tenaga geoterma di Sabah sebagai penyumbang terkecil dalam penjanaan elektrik.

Pengunjuran ini menunjukkan bahawa antara 2035 - 2040, gabungan tenaga ini dapat mencapai tahap sifar bersih pelepasan gas CO2 dalam sektor tenaga elektrik. Selain itu, pada 2050 jumlah CO2 yang dapat dielakkan adalah 217Gton. Jumlah ini adalah bersamaan dengan pelepasan akibat pembakaran arang lebih kurang 106Peta gram.

24

AR2015BMVERSION.indd 24

4/21/16 7:51 PM

Senario 2 : Mencapai tahap sifar bersih pelepasan karbon dalam penjanaan elektrik menjelang tahun 2050.

Sumber tenaga bebas karbon dapat mengimbangi jumlah pelepasan CO2 hasil dari pembakaran bahan api fosil menjelang tahun 2050. Bahan api fosil bersama sembilan sumber bebas karbon akan menyumbang kepada gabungan tenaga masa depan seperti berikut: 1 Bahan api fosil akan menjadi sumber penting dalam penjanaan kuasa, namun sumbangannya pada 2050 (97%) akan dikurangkan lebih separuh kepada (42%) berbanding 2012.

2 OTEC akan menjadi pembekal utama dan merangkumi 17% penjanaan elektrik dengan 50% dari jumlah kapasitinya akan digunakan untuk penjanaan hidrogen pada 2050.

3 Bahagian penjanaan elektrik oleh sel bahan api (2020 – 2050) hanya boleh tercapai jika bekalan tenaga untuk penghasilan hidrogen mencukupi.

4 90% dari sisa pepejal perbandaran akan melalui penunuan dan menyumbang kepada gabungan penjanaan elektrik secara signifikan.

5 Tenaga angin akan menjadi sumber tenaga kelima terbesar dalam penjanaan elektrik pada tahun 2050.

6 Tenaga solar PV berkongsi jumlah kapasiti terpasang dengan tenaga angin. Namun, penjanaan elektrik oleh solar PV lebih rendah berbanding angin kerana faktor kapasiti yang rendah.

7 Tenaga nuklear akan menyumbang kepada pembekalan elektrik bebas karbon sebagai pelan jangka sederhana dan mengurangkan penggunaan bahan api fosil.

8 Gabungan tenaga ombak dan arus pasangsurut akan menjadi sumber penting di masa hadapan.

9 Loji kuasa hidro digunakan sebagai loji memuncak dan bekalan simpanan. Namun, kapasiti beroperasi perlu dikawal untuk

memelihara persekitaran.

10 Tenaga geoterma akan menjadi penyumbang terkecil dalam penjanaan elektrik.

Pengunjuran ini menunjukan bahawa sebelum 2050, gabungan tenaga ini dapat mengimbangi pelepasan dari bahan api fosil dan akhirnya mencapai pelepasan sifar bersih CO2 dalam sektor tenaga elektrik. Pada 2050, sejumlah 92 billion ton CO2 dapat dielakkan. Jumlah ini adalah bersamaan dengan pelepasan akibat pembakaran arang lebih kurang 44Peta gram.

Impak El Niño Terhadap Sosio-Ekonomi di Malaysia Kajian terhadap impak El Nino di Malaysia dijalankan atas permintaan MOSTI bagi memaklumkan ahli Kabinet mengenai langkah-langkah yang perlu diambil untuk menangani kesan buruk El Nino. Kajian ini meneliti impak El Nino dalam sektor berikut: • Pertanian • Sumber air • Tenaga • Perhutanan • Kualiti udara • Kesihatan • Perikanan • Marin dan ekosistem daratan • Pelancongan • Pendidikan

Pembangunan pesat di kawasan bandar, pembalakan, perlombongan pasir, perladangan serta aktiviti pertanian mengakibatkan sejumlah besar sungai dan kawasan pesisir mengalami pemendapan yang teruk sepanjang tahun. Kebanyakan ramalan senario perubahan iklim menjangkakan peningkatan kekerapan kejadian hujan lebat, terutamanya di kawasan kering. Ini akan meningkatkan kadar air larian dan hakisan tanah.

Hakisan dan Pemendapan Tanah

Ini adalah masanya untuk mengambil langkah untuk menghentikan kemerosotan kualiti air dan alam sekitarnya dari berterusan.

Masyarakat inginkan sungai dan pantai yang mempunyai air bersih yang tidak dicemari oleh tanah. Selain itu, tanggungan kos ekonomi bagi membersihkan sumber air ini amat tinggi bagi Kerajaan dan seterusnya pembayar cukai.

Hakisan tanah dan pemendapan hasil dari saliran air merupakan punca utama pencemaran saliran air di seluruh dunia (USDA 2000). Hakisan dan pemendapatan tanah memberi impak besar terhadap persekitaran dan ekonomi. Antaranya adalah kemusnahan hidupan air, mengurangkan kapasiti empangan dan punca utama banjir kilat di kawasan bandar.

Kumpulan Kerja Hakisan dan Pemendapan diwujudkan untuk mendapatkan input dari pelbagai pihak berkepentingan berkenaan isu semasa serta mengenalpasti jurang berkaitan dengan hakisan dan pemendapan. Satu Kertas Kerja berkenaan hakisan dan pemendapan akan dihasilkan, di mana input dasar dapat diberikan kepada kementerian yang berkaitan.

Keselamatan Siber

“Malaysia berhasrat untuk meningkatkan penguatkuasaan keselamatan siber bagi membendung pengaruh keganasan atas talian�

YB Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Timbalan Perdana Menteri

Terdapat keperluan yang mendesak untuk meningkatkan perlindungan ruangan siber dan infrastruktur kerana kemakmuran ekonomi abad ke-21 bergantung kepada keselamatan siber. Keselamatan siber bukan sekadar isu ICT. Ia merupakan isu negara yang mampu mengancam keselamatan negara. Selain ancaman dalam negara, ancaman siber juga boleh mengugat perhubungan diplomatik dengan negara lain. Aset dan sistem informasi telah menjadi keutamaan yang penting bagi kerajaan dan sektor korporat sedunia dalam menangani ancaman serangan.

Keselamatan siber didefinasikan sebagai perlindungan dari jenayah berasaskan teknologi yang mengugat privasi, ketersediaan dan kebolehpercayaan sumber IT sesebuah organisasi. Objektif utama keselamatan siber ialah untuk menangkis serangan siber sebelum ia berlaku.

Badan Bertindak Keselamatan Siber ASM akan menghasilkan Laporan Nasihat berkaitan Keselamatan Siber yang akan dipanjangkan kepada tiga pihak berkepentingan iaitu Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN), MOSTI dan KPM.

Global R&D Leaders and CEOs Forum 2015 Menyuntik nilai etika dalam P&P

Bekalan sumber alam tidak lagi mencukupi untuk menampung kehidupan apabila populasi dunia mencapai tahap yang tidak pernah dicapai sebelum ini. Air bersih, makanan dan tenaga akan menjadi mahal.

Oleh itu, penyelidikan saintifik tidak lagi memadai untuk menangani cabaran ini memandangkan aktiviti P&P masa kini lebih terdorong untuk mengaut keuntungan semata-mata. Ini akan melebarkan lagi jurang perbezaan antara kaya dan miskin, dan rakyat dari negara miskin akan terus menderita.

Global R&D Leaders and CEOs Forum yang julung kali diadakan dengan tema “Injecting Soul in R&D” bersandarkan kepada idea untuk menggerakkan P&P menjangkaui tekanan pengkomersilan dan keuntungan perniagaan. Pemimpin P&P dan KPE, visionaries dan perintis perubahan berhimpun untuk merancang hala tuju bagi memenuhi keperluan golongan miskin tegar.

Forum dua hari ini merangkumi enam sesi berikut: • Menyuntik nilai etika dalam P&P • Memanfaatkan Inovasi Sosial dan Keusahawanan • Mewujudkan penyelesaian berasaskan nilai • Perkongsian Teknologi • Kelestarian Kewangan dan Pelaburan Impak Socio-Ekologi • Sesi penggulungan panel

Berikut adalah pandangan panelis forum mengenai menyuntik nilai etika dalam P&P: 1. P&P yang beretika adalah P&P yang serius.

2. Struktur tadbir urus bebas politik diperlukan untuk P&P yang beretika.

3. Jiwa adalah seperti perusahaan saintifik bebas dan ia memerlukan struktur yang dapat memupuk perkembangannya.

4. Hanya dengan sains yang berniat baik, jiwa mula berfungsi. Adalah penting bagi menyokong sains yang mempunyai niat baik yang dapat menghasilkan impak yang wajar.

5. Penekanan terhadap KPI harus dinilai semula dan digantikan dengan keikhlasan penghasilan impak bernilai yang sukar diukur. Kaedah untuk mengukur impak ini perlu dibangunkan.

6. Golongan miskin tegar mesti di ambil kira sebagai sebahagian dari satu komuniti global. Ia mesti dimasukkan dalam semua interaksi sosial dan inovasi.

7. Landasan perkongsian teknologi seperti open source technology dan crowd sourcing perlu digunakan untuk mendapatkan input dari orang ramai.

8. Pengiktirafan kepada penyelidik Negara adalah sangat penting.

9. Penggunaan media sosial Negara perlu dikaji dan penggunaannya haruslah produktif.

Forum ini juga telah mengenalpasti hala tuju berikut bagi memenuhi keperluan golongan miskin tegar�

1 Perubahan minda di semua peringkat

quadruple helix (Kerajaan, Akademik, Industri dan Masyarakat).

2 Menerapkan elemen masyarakat penyayang

dan tanggungjawab sosial di semua peringkat pendidikan.

3 Role Model seperti dermawan social (Jonas

Salk, Bill Gates dll) memimpin dengan menunjukkan cara merangsang penyelidikan yang memenuhi keperluan kemanusiaan.

4 Mengenalpasti pemimpin di semua peringkat quadruple helix untuk melaksanakan agenda P&P berjiwa.

5 Bekerja dengan prinsip golongan miskin tegar adalah ‘pelanggan’ untuk penciptaan nilai yang berguna kepada mereka.

6 Rangka kerja kolaborasi bagi mekanisma

pemboleh di semua peringkat untuk menghasilkan penyelesaian berasaskan nilai.

7 Mewujudkan struktur tadbir urus P&P yang sewajarnya seperti Majlis STI Negara untuk memacu agenda golongan miskin tegar.

“Teknologi yang berkembang pesat berpotensi untuk memberi impak besar ekonomi yang boleh menggugat perniagaan, mengubah gaya hidup dan mengubah asas ekonomi dunia. Ia juga berpotensi untuk mengubah cara kerja kita, berkemungkinan menyebabkan kehilangan pekerjaan bagi jutaan pekerja serta meninggalkan kesan terhadap dasar awam ketara.”

“Malaysia bersedia untuk memainkan peranan penting sebagai ‘Negara Kuasa Pertengahan’ di peringkat antarabangsa. Ini sejajar dengan wawasan Malaysia untuk menjadi negara membangun dan berpendapatan tinggi menjelang tahun 2020. Namun, terdapat isu dalaman yang perlu ditangani terlebih dahulu sebelum kita tampil ke hadapan di persada antarabangsa.

Foreword

It is my privilege to have the opportunity to share some thoughts in the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) 2015 Annual Report in commemoration of ASM’s 20th Anniversary celebration. ASM should take pride in their tireless efforts in providing strategic input towards the development of science, technology and innovation (STI) of the nation. As an agency under the purview of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), ASM has achieved significant milestones in strengthening the STI ecosystem through flagship studies, promotion of science and technology (S&T) related programmes and international collaborations.

I wish to see ASM continue to provide compelling insights and robust policy recommendations on all STI matters of national and international significance.

Through flagship studies such as the Science Outlook and Envisioning Malaysia 2050 Foresight Initiative, ASM is able to provide accurate and reliable STI-related facts and figures for policy formulation. This helps relevant agencies to review their current activities and approaches. The inaugural Science Outlook report by ASM has been duly recognised by the Government particularly through the National Science Council (NSC) chaired by the Prime Minister. The issues and recommendations highlighted in the report have urged requisite action such as NSC’s call for a consolidated National STEM Action Plan involving MOSTI, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE).

The Malaysian government would also continue to facilitate the International Science, Technology and Innovation Centre (ISTIC) and International Council for Science (ICSU) as a platform to champion relevant STI interventions at the international level especially for developing countries.

MOSTI through ASM has a key role in advocating ‘Policy for STI’ and ‘STI for Policy’, the core elements of the National Policy on STI (NPSTI), so as to build up the right ecosystem for the

socio-economic development of the country. STI for Policy takes into consideration the need for all policies in Malaysia to contain STI elements.

Through this approach, we are able to position STI in all cross-cutting policies and by having the right STI inputs, we can position STI in the value chain of implementation. As such, STI will not be treated merely as a separate intervention but it will converge with economics and finance, society and culture as well as geopolitics to fuel a robust ideation process for socio-economic transformation.

I am proud that ASM has been recognised as an independent platform for Malaysians to participate in intellectual discourse pertaining to key STI issues. ASM is equally important to the Government in terms of providing strategic inputs on STI policies and initiatives as the Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia (ISIS) and the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) in terms of social and foreign policies as well as economic policies respectively. I look forward to as a valuable reference on the STI landscape of the country on par with the Malaysian Economic Outlook. Through this, ASM’s role as an apex STI advisory body would benefit all stakeholders.

Foreword This 2015 Annual Report bears testimony to many notable achievements by the ASM through intellectual discourses, seminars, workshops, conferences and studies related to STI. Many of these studies were published and serve as useful references not just for policy makers, but also for other stakeholders such as the scientific community, economists and industry practitioners.

The studies include the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) review, rare-earth studies, the 2050 foresight studies, STI national ecosystem and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. ASM seminal work on the Science Outlook 2015 Report provided crucial insights in its findings, incisive perspectives, benchmarking as well as way forward prescriptions towards inclusive and integrated STI reforms in critical areas to boost growth and competitiveness for the nation.

These contributions have complemented with MOSTI’s transformative efforts in driving the nation’s STI agenda within the framework of the NPSTI. While some successes have been achieved in terms of exploring, developing and utilising STI for knowledge generation, wealth creation and societal well-being, much more needs to be done to fully harness our STI potential.

Continued focus and efforts should be given in strengthening our STI capabilities, address the fundamental challenges or issues, build capacity and emerge as a regional model of STI excellence. Some of the prerequisites are quality STEM education, greater awareness and STI orientation amongst the youth of the country, improved STI infrastructure, better trained STI professionals, focused STI objectives, and the setting of practical, challenging yet realistic targets.

It is my sincere hope that ASM will continue in its efforts to play its crucial supporting role in addressing these issues. The strong commitment and dedication as well as enthusiasm of the Fellows and Staff of the Academy is evident in this Report. Hence, I wish to record my deepest appreciation on their professionalism and contribution.

A word from our

President

This is a momentous year for the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) as it marks our 20th Anniversary since inception as a Statutory Body through an Act of Parliament in 1995. The 20 year milestone of ASM marks a journey from humble beginnings to significant growth and impact. This is reflected by the breadth, depth and influence of the studies and programmes carried out by ASM. As a “Thought Leader” for STI, ASM strives to drive and deliver value in the form of independent, credible, relevant and timely scientific advice and advocacy.

ASM Expert Network, Linkages and Aspirations The driving force of ASM is an extensive expert network and effective linkages across strategic national and international platforms. Over the last two decades, there has been a five-fold expansion of ASM’s expert network and the number of strategic initiatives, studies and programmes. Having begun with 50 Foundation Fellows, ASM’s expert network in 2015 comprised 7 Honorary Fellows, 26 Senior Fellows, 278 Fellows, 28 Associates, 57 Young Scientists Network members and 110 Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM).

This Annual Report captures and communicates the studies, programmes and initiatives undertaken by ASM. As you go through the pages of the Annual Report, I hope it would serve to not only highlight the activitiesof the Academy for the year 2015 but also impart key messages on a wide range of subject matter addressed by ASM in the context of its focus and aspirations.

Although ASM is relatively young compared to other Science Academies around the world that reflect a rich legacy of learned societies, we strive to match the passion and commitment to make a difference. ASM is committed to relentlessly champion the advancement of STI for national development and global competitiveness. In doing so, it is becoming increasingly evident that many of the initiatives carried out by the ASM transcend conventional S&T disciplines and necessitate the consideration of the social sciences, humanities and economics perspectives in our deliberations. This is good news for our friends and partners from outside the STI circle. Indeed, there are many opportunities for us to collaborate and contribute together.

The Academy adopts an inclusive approach to promote the convergence of science with economy and finance, geopolitics as well as society and culture. As important as STI is in tackling global challenges that affect everyone on the planet, we cannot work alone. It is imperativeto adopt a transformative and integrative approach.

Delivering STI Input This year, ASM has finalised eight studies which are of national priority, while eleven more are on-going. ASM’s strategic studies are classified under four broad themes namely Malaysia 2050, emerging technology, sustainability science and socio-economics. The underlying aspects of the ecosystem, S&T capacity and resources are addressed in each of the studies to ensure that recommendations are derived from a holistic standpoint.

95

AR2015ENGVERSION.indd 9

4/21/16 7:55 PM

The launch of the inaugural Science Outlook 2015 report, a culmination of one of ASM’s flagship studies, further contributed to this being a landmark year for ASM. The Science Outlook presents an independent review of key trends in STI in Malaysia. It provides evidence-based insights and new perspectives on the Malaysian STI landscape.

Although some of the issues highlighted in the Science Outlook report may be ever familiar ones, for the first time relevant supporting data and evidence were presented alongside recommendations to address them effectively. This drew a lot of attention and deliberation among various stakeholders. ASM hopes to publish the Science Outlook biennially to serve as a useful reference for informed decision-making.

Another ASM flagship study is known as Malaysia 2050 encompassing the Mega Science and Foresight Studies.

This study is about envisioning Malaysia in 2050, deliberating on the social, economic and geo-political drivers of change and making recommendations on the ecosystem that needs to be nurtured and the STI investments that need to be prioritised in order to succeed in the future. The Mega Science Study looks at the big picture of the future we desire and links it to specific economic sectors. The study then deliberates on how to leverage on STI to devise the desired future. This year, the third phase of the Mega Science Study was initiated involving five industry sectors namely, Furniture, Automotive, Creative, Tourism as well as Plastics and Composites.

Under the ‘Envisioning Malaysia in 2050 Foresight Initiative’, for the first time, ASM has brought together five national Think Tanks and Institutes to form a foresight alliance to carry out the study. This study is interdisciplinary as it envisions how Malaysia would be like based on the four components of S&T, society and culture, economics and finance and governance. This exercise would provide recommendations; determine key strategic areas as well as advocate foresighting to become part of the DNA for national level strategic planning. Through foresight Malaysia can leverage on current

strengths for tomorrow’s success. Ultimately, it is about acting now to ensure sustainability, connectivity, prosperity, peace and harmony to ensure a high quality of life for all in the future in tandem with global trends. The ASM Foresight Initiative report is expected to be completed in 2016.

The Academy has always endeavoured to address the nation’s highest concerns from the STI perspective. One outstanding example is the Academy’s water sector studies that has been carried out since 2008 and is now recognised and sought after by most stakeholders both from Government ministries and agencies as well as non-governmental organisations. This success is due to the comprehensiveness of ASM’s water sector Advisory Reports driven by strong leadership through a dedicated ASM Water Committee and engagement of multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral expertise. Adopting Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as the central thrust, the Committee has for practical application in the Malaysian context, broken down IWRM into around eleven discrete sub-themes. Each of these sub-themes is then subjected to in-depth studies culminating in the preparation of a strategy plan or advisory report for consideration and adoption by the relevant authority or agency responsible for their implementation. This year, under the water sector, studies on three sub-themes namely Integrated River Basin Management, Water Demand Management as well as Water Supply and Wastewater Management were completed.

On the energy front, the focus of ASM’s studies has been on greening energy through technology. Malaysia has responded to anticipate energy security crisis and climate change risks by diversifying fuel-resources to include renewable and alternative energy as well as developing green technologies for the future. In consonance with this, this year ASM completed three advisory reports namely Energy Efficiency and Energy Usage in Transportation, Carbon Free Energy and Fuel Cell Industries in Malaysia.

Championing STEM Talent An important part of ASM’s work is to contribute towards building and sustaining a strong, diverse scientific workforce for the nation. As such, ASM champions Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and talent.

Initiatives related to this are overseen by a committed ASM Science Education Committee.

The Young Scientists Network of ASM (YSNASM) brings together brilliant Malaysian young scientists and provides a platform for the young scientists to anchor several significant initiatives.

As STI leaders of the future, this talent pool of young scientists are mobilised to conduct STEM programmes for schools nationwide, communicate STI effectively as well as advocate Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) among the scientific fraternity. Through YSN, ASM is able to effectively connect with the young generation and portray a positive and rewarding image of STI as the young scientists are seen as excellent, contemporary role models.

The Academy focuses on fostering a culture of excellence in STI through an emphasis on three key elements that are talent, alliance and recognition. As part of its focus on strategic alliance towards fostering a culture of excellence in STI, ASM facilitates scientific exchange and collaboration with world renowned centres of excellence and STI institutions.

The aim of such an endeavour is to catalyse the achievement of excellence in STI as well as develop high calibre Malaysian scientists who are capable of gaining international recognition.

ASM plays the role of facilitating partnerships between Malaysian institutions and world renowned centres of excellence for the purpose of research collaboration and human capital development programmes that would support the Government’s drive to build capacity and capability in STI. Through this endeavour, this year saw five young scientists having the opportunity to be up close and personal with Nobel Laureates through participation in the Annual Lindau Meeting in Germany.

Likewise, young Malaysians were selected to participate in the Inter Academy Medical Panel (IAMP) Young Physician Leaders Programme, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Summer Student Programme (CSSP) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Young Scientists Summer Programme.

Positioning Malaysia in the Global STI Arena

Appreciation

One of the roles of ASM is to facilitate various platforms for the Malaysian scientific community to connect with the global scientific community to leverage on opportunities for sharing of knowledge, building expertise as well as enhancing STI capacity and capability in the context of global science and technology advancement.

ASM highly values and appreciates the support and co-operation of all Government Ministries, considering that the studies and programmes of ASM in 2015 have engaged around twenty Government ministries. In particular, ASM works very closely with MOSTI and we look forward to complementing the initiatives of MOSTI towards more positive outcomes. I also wish to thank all Public and Private Institutions of Higher Learning, Research institutes, members of the Industry and Corporate sectors that partner with us through our various platforms of engagement to realise common goals. The scientific leadership of ASM and its Fellows would not be possible without this crucial partnership and collaboration.

ASM continues to demonstrate its commitment in the international STI arena through its strategic membership of multilateral STI networks, its active role in the governance of these networks and its participation in important global scientific interactions. This includes ASM’s facilitation of the Science Consortium initiative and the Newton-Ungku Omar Fund (NUOF) that is a collaboration programme between the Governments of UK and Malaysia.

The Global R&D Leaders and CEOs Forum is a key international forum organised by ASM in 2015. Themed “Injecting Soul into R&D”, the forum was premised upon the need to move research and development (R&D) beyond merely meeting commercialisation targets and business interests to impacting community in a tangible way. The forum brought together an interesting mix of R&D leaders and CEOs, visionaries, change-makers as well as social activists to pave the way forward to address the needs of the bottom billion.

Another important highlight was the launch of the Network of ASEAN Science Academies (NetASA) spearheaded by ASM. NET-ASA provides an independent forum for ASEAN science academies to offer credible input for policy formulation towards economic, social and cultural development. This platform would augur well to ensure that the voice of ASEAN science is heard by decision-makers worldwide as well as enhance STI capacity and capability in all ten ASEAN Member States. The formation of NET-ASA is also most timely in light of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

I also wish to record my heartfelt appreciation to all Chairpersons and members of ASM’s Committees, Task Forces and Working Groups who have given generously of their time and expertise. My appreciation is also extended to the diligent and dedicated management team and all staff of ASM for their efforts towards bringing ASM’s activities to fruition.

In order to be competitive and relevant, we have to fully harness STI, leverage on the knowledge paradigm and innovate. Towards this end, ASM is passionate about mainstreaming STI in the nation for socio-economic transformation.

The Way Forward Upon reviewing the six strategic thrusts of the NPSTI and taking stock of Malaysia’s performance thus far, the Science Outlook 2015 identified gaps and forwarded 18 recommendations to mobilise action in critical areas.

The key takeaway messages are firstly that STI inputs and interventions should not be seen just as a precursor to policy development or as a support for decision making, but must be an integral part of the whole ecosystem of policy implementation towards meeting set targets.

Secondly, STI must converge with economics and finance, governance, geopolitics as well as society and culture to fuel a robust ideation process for socio-economic transformation.

Thirdly and most importantly, we must adopt transformative thinking, integrated planning and inclusive implementation to mainstream STI in national development.

“In COP21, Malaysia has declared our commitment to reduce the greenhouse gas emission to 45% based on the Gross Domestic Product by 2030” YB Dato’ Dr Haji Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar Minister of Natural Resources and Environment

Emission of Greenhouse gases from human activities had been proven beyond doubt as the main cause of global warming and climate change. The finite world energy supply, which consists nearly 90% of fossil fuel, will be depleted in a short period of time precipitating an energy-crisis because of a widening gap between fossil-fuel production and demand.

Many countries including Malaysia has responded to the anticipated energy security crisis and climate change by diversifying their fuel-resources to include renewable and alternative energy, and developing green-energy technologies for the future. Realising the importance of energy sector in Malaysia, ASM has embarked on a series of studies relating to the energy sector with the aim to address issues and challenges anticipated to be faced by the energy sector in the near future.

Carbon Free Energy: Roadmap for Malaysia The roadmap aims to assess the prospects of energy mix and actions that need to be taken to achieve a carbon free energy future for Malaysia. The roadmap provides policymakers a quantitative framework to understand the supply and demand of the future energy trends and hence to formulate

appropriate policies and targets to address energy related issues and challenges.

The scope of the roadmap focuses only on the electricity sector with projection period of 2015 to 2050. The following scenarios were developed for the carbon free energy roadmap:

Scenario 1 : To achieve a carbon free energy mix

in electricity generation by 2050 Carbon free energy sources have been introduced, and by 2050, fossil fuels will be completely phased out and replaced by eight types of alternative resources in energy mix.

1 Ocean Thermal Energy Coversion (OTEC) will compromise about 41% of the electricity generation mainly for production of hydrogen.

2 Wind energy generated from on and off shore facilities would be the second major resource in the electricity supply.

3 Combined wave and tidal current energy will be the next important resources for the electricity generation.

4 Solar PV to supply for midday which is also the peak demand time of the day.

5 The main sources for the bioenergy in electricity generation will be the municipal solid waste and biogas despite the abundance of oil palm wastes from the oil palm industry.

6 A 2GW nuclear power plants will be in place by 2025 to supply the non-carbon electricity in medium term action plan.

7 Hydropower will be continued to be used as peaking plants and for reserve margin.

8 Geothermal in Sabah will be the smallest share in electricity generation.

The projections show that in between 2035 and 2040, the proposed energy mix will be able to achieve a net zero CO2 emission in the electricity sector. Furthermore, in 2050 the total avoidance is about 217 Gtonnes of CO2.

This amount is equivalent to approximately emission avoided from 106 Peta grams of coal burned.

110

AR2015ENGVERSION.indd 24

4/21/16 7:55 PM

Scenario 2 : To achieve net zero carbon emissions

in electricity generation by 2050 The total carbon dioxide emission avoidance from carbon free energy sources will offset the emissions from the fossil fuels combustion by 2050. Fossil fuels together with nine carbon free energy resources will contribute to the future energy mix as follows: 1 Fossil fuels will play an important role in power generation, however its share of electricity generation in 2050 (97%) will be reduced by more than half (42%) compared to 2012.

2 OTEC will be the main supply and accounting for about 17% of electricity generation with 50% of its total installed capacity will be used in hydrogen generation by 2050.

3 The shares of fuel cell in electricity generation (2020-2050) can only be achieved if the energy supply for hydrogen production is sufficient.

4 90% of municipal solid waste will be treated by incineration and will contribute significantly in the electricity generation mix.

5 Wind energy will be the fifth major energy sources in electricity generation by 2050.

6 Solar PV shares about the same amount of installed capacity as wind energy. However, the electricity generation from the PV is less than the wind because of the lower capacity factor.

7 Nuclear energy will contribute to supply the non-carbon electricity in medium term action plan and able to ease the reduction of fossil fuels consumption.

8 The combined of wave energy and tidal current energy will be the next important sources.

9 Hydropower plants has been used as peaking plants and reserve margin.

However, the operational capacity needs to be controlled to safeguard the environment.

10 Geothermal will be the smallest share in electricity generation.

The projections show that by 2050, the present proposed energy mix would be able to offset the emissions from the fossil fuels combustion and finally achieve a net zero CO2 emission in the electricity sector.

In 2050, the total avoidance is about 92 billion tonnes of CO2.

This amount is equivalent to approximately emission avoided from 44 Peta grams of coal burned.

Socio-Economic Impacts of El Niño in Malaysia The study on the Socio-economic Impacts of El Niño in Malaysia was a request by MOSTI to inform Cabinet on the necessary measures the Government would have to take to mitigate against the worst effects of El Niño.

This study examines the impact of El Niño in the following sectors: • Agriculture • Water resources • Energy • Forestry • Air quality • Health • Fisheries • Marine and terrestrial ecosystems • Tourism • Education Erosion and Sedimentation Soil erosion and the consequent sedimentation of waterways is the biggest single cause of waterway pollution all over the world (USDA, 2000). Erosion and sedimentation have both environmental and economic impacts. Among others, they severely deplete aquatic life, reduce reservoir capacity and are the main cause of flash floods in urban areas of the country.

Rapid land development for urbanisation, logging, sand mining, plantations as well as agriculture has resulted in most of the rivers and coastal areas having heavy sediment loads throughout the year. Most climate change scenarios predict a significant increase in the frequency of high intensity rainfall events especially in the dry areas, which will increase run off and soil erosion.

It is time for measures to be taken to stop further deterioration of the quality of our water environment. People want our rivers and beaches to have cleaner waters without the color of the soil. Not only that, the economic cost of cleaning up the waters will be too high for the government and consequently, the tax payers to bear.

A Working Group on Erosion and Sedimentation was formed to gather input from various stakeholders on current issues and gaps on erosion and sedimentation.

Deliverable from this working group would be a position paper on erosion and sedimentation providing policy inputs to relevant ministries on this issue.

Foresight Initiative In envisioning the features of the Malaysian society that aspires for the nation to be by 2050, ASM initiatied the Foresight initiative. Realising the complexity of the future which cuts across many different sectors and the effects of globalisation, ASM in collaboration with myForesight Institute, MIGHT initiated the Malaysia Foresight Alliance. This is a strategic partnership between ASM, UM Economic and Finance Group, Institute of ISIS and Institute of Integrity Malaysia (IIM) to conduct a foresight exercise in S&T, Economics and Finance, Geopolitics and Society and Culture respectively. The foresight identifies global mega trends and risks that would impact Malaysia.

Appropriate training was provided to the foresight alliance members.

Equipped with the techniques of foresighting, members conducted their respective foresight exercise through literature reviews and engaging stakeholders from public, private and academia.

ASM Transboundary Haze

This would call for collaboration among all stakeholders at all levels of organisation including ministries, government agencies, IHLs, GRIs, NGOs and industrial players to come up with a solution based position paper documenting all the necessary lines of action required to address the root causes.

Transboundary haze was first reported in Southeast Asia in 1972. What once was an occasional and local glitch has now turned into a regional and global imbroglio of huge proportion and becoming an intergenerational problem. Since the source of the problem is not limited to within Malaysian boundary, the expected response would require not only science diplomacy but also techno-economic action on the ground.

ASM could leverage on its national, regional and international networks to firm up the findings of this study inter alia through the scientific platforms of NetASA.

While the understanding of the haze episode would certainly call for the necessary knowledge virtually in all science disciplines, the said solutions to the problem would have to be found in the following four aspects of governmental and inter-governmental intervention: i. Legal-Policy Framework ii. Institutional Arrangements iii. Finance iv. Technology A study is being conducted by ASM focusing on three main areas namely; i. Air Quality and Haze Episode ii. Peat Area and Water Management iii. Waste to Resource: Energy or Materials

Cyber Security

‘Malaysia is keen to beef up cyber security enforcement to curb the influence of online terrorism’ YB Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi Deputy Prime Minister

There is an urgent need to protect our cyberspace and infrastructure as global economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cyber security. Cyber security is not only an ICT issue; it is also a national issue where it posed a great threat to national security. Other than threats within the country, cyber threats could also affect diplomatic relationships with other countries. In countering the threat of attack, information assets and systems has emerged as a key priority for governments and the private sector worldwide.

Cyber security is thus formally defined as protection from technology-enabled crimes that are capable of undermining the privacy, availability or reliability of an organisation’s IT resources. The main objective of cyber security is to deter cyber-attacks before they take place.

In this context, ASM through the Task Force on Cyber Security is producing an Advisory Report on Cyber Security to be forwarded to three (3) main stakeholders which are Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN), MOSTI and MOE.

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) There is a great need to create an awareness of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) among the intellectual community in Malaysia to ensure that research is conducted in a responsible and ethical manner.

The adverse impact of irresponsible conduct of research is not only limited to time and financial costs but also the reputation of the scientific community and the country as a whole. Therefore, three workshops were conducted as an Introductory Workshop to the YSN-ASM’s RCR Programme, from Oct to Dec 2015. The objectives of these workshops are: • To introduce the principles and elements of RCR • To discuss the concept of evidence-based active learning techniques • To identify the way forward to establish a sustainable RCR programme Four main RCR topics were discussed at these workshops which are: Research Misconduct, Authorship, Dual-use Research of Concern, and Collaborative Science. In addition, the concepts of active learning were introduced and the way forward to implement RCR programme was also discussed.

ICSU Regional Office for Asia and The Pacific ICSU ROAP focus on on implementing the Sustainability Initiative in the Marginal Seas of South and East Asia (SIMSEA), a regional Future Earth research programme initiated in 2014. A programme office of SIMSEA was established with the support of ICSU ROAP at the Marine Science Institute, University of Philippines. National SIMSEA research programmes are being actively developed in Japan, Malaysia and the Philippines.

The highlight of ICSU ROAP’s work in hazards and disasters was the 4th International Workshop on Psychological Intervention after Disasters (PIAD) held in Taipei in Nov. The Steering Group on Natural Hazards and Risk (SGNHR) actively promoted the scientific study of natural hazards and risk in the Asia-Pacific region. The Chair of SGNHR represented ICSU ROAP and the Steering Group at the United Nations 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan.

SGNHR obtained USD27,000 from Zayed University and USD11,000 from the National University of Singapore for a 2-year project entitled “Determining Modern Risks of High-energy Coastal Hazards in the Gulf of Thailand from Coarse Clastic Carbonate Sediments”. SGNHR continues to identify opportunities for research funding and agencies that can support ICSU ROAP’s initiative.

Scientists from the Research Centre for Environmental Changes, Taipei Academy of Sciences secured funding from the Ministry of S&T, Taipei, China to undertake the pilot project developed through the ICSU ROAP sponsored work in its priority area on urban health and well-being entitled Planning Green Transportation for Better Urban Health under Climate Change. The grant will enable several teams of researchers from the Centre and elsewhere to collaboratively use the systems approach in research that enables better planning and management of urban health and well-being in Taipei. Use of the approach in urban health research in Asia was pioneered in workshops organised by ICSU ROAP. ICSU ROAP is hosted by ASM on behalf of the Malaysian Government.

The review of ICSU ROAP was a major activity in 2015. The Review Panel was positive of ROAP’s work over the past five years and found it to be extremely effective despite its limited financial and human resources. A clear recommendation is to maintain the office with its current staff, as the work undertaken is exemplary not only in the Pacific region, but it is also unique within ICSU. The Review Panel acknowledged that the strong network fostered by ICSU ROAP benefits international science and the visibility of regional science.

Alliance with the Japan A strategic partnership was initiated in 2014 between ASM and JST followed by the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) in 2015. The MoC aims to strengthen cooperation between Malaysia and Japan in science education and science communication. The memorandum may promote activities in said fields of mutual interests.

The finalists of the NSC are given an opportunity to participate in the ‘SAKURA Exchange Program in Science’. This programme aims to encourage exchanges between the youths of Asia and Japan who will play a crucial role in STI. This is achieved through the close collaboration between industry-academia-government by facilitating short-term visits of competent Asian youths to Japan. This programme also aims to raise the interest of Asian youths towards STI development at Japanese universities, research institutions and private companies.

Apart from high school students, the SAKURA programme had also granted ASM’s proposal in sending Malaysian young scientists to Japan. The objective of the visit is to promote international research collaboration in areas of interests that will benefit both Malaysia and Japan. JST and ASM will also explore talent exchange activities, which will enable young scientists to share and learn from each other in the field of science communication.

Science Consortium

National Centre for Particle Physics (NCPP)

Pooling and sharing of resources among universities and research institutes are the way forward for Malaysia to optimise resources for greater impact. A research consortium would be able to befit this purpose. ASM champions science consortium as an umbrella for mutual collaboration in STI strategic areas for inter-institutional and international scientific exchanges.

National Centre for Particle Physics (NCPP) hosted at UM has spearheaded particle physics research in Malaysia with its participation in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Research Group at CERN in 2013. Throughout its two years establishment, NCPP champions local STI talent development and transfer of technology in particle physics through its collaboration with CERN, DESY (Deutsch Elektronen-Synchrotron) in German, KEK (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization) in Japan and COMET experiment in Osaka University, Japan.

These national centres are hosted by the identified local institutions which are responsible to coordinate national research initiatives. ASM plays a vital role to link this consortium with strategic international partners that will enable Malaysians to be involved in global mega projects in the frontier of science. This provides due international recognition to our researchers.

in brief • Enhancing the local capacity and capability in rainforest research is crucial. In addressing this pressing issue, ASM is working closely with the Yayasan Sabah since 2014 to formulate and develop a suitable research and training model as well as programmes for Imbak Canyon conservation area namely, Imbak Canyon Rainforest Research and Training Programme (ICRRTP).

Global R&D Leaders and CEOs Forum 2015 Injecting Soul into R&D

The world’s population will soon reach an unprecedented level where there will be a shortage of resources to sustain life. Fresh water, food and energy will be expensive.

Thus, doing good science alone is not sufficient anymore to address the grand challenges because R&D today is very much motivated by commercial gain. The impact will widen the gap between the have and have-nots where people from the poorest countries will suffer the most.

The inaugural Global R&D Leaders & CEOs Forum themed “Injecting Soul in R&D” is premised upon the thinking that, it is time to move R&D beyond the pressures of commercialisation and business. R&D leaders and CEOs, visionaries and change-makers came together to pave the way forward to address the needs of the bottom billion.

The 2-day forum consisted of six sessions as below: • Finding the Soul in R&D • Leveraging Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship • Co-producing Values-based Solutions • Technology Sharing • Sustainable Financing and Impact Investing • Concluding Panel Session

Below are some thoughts on sole in R&D as expressed by panellists at the forum: • A serious R&D is a R&D with ‘soul’.

• An STI governance structure free from political influence is needed for R&D with soul.

• The ‘soul’ is a scientific enterprise which needs a structure that nurtures it to grow.

• The ‘soul’ is operative only when one does good science. It is important to support good science that delivers proper outcomes.

• Overemphasis on KPIs should be reviewed and substituted with a sincere consideration for intangible outcomes. Methodologies to measure them must be developed.

• Bottom billion must be recognised as part of one big global community. It must be included in both innovation and social interactions.

• Technology sharing platforms such as open source technology and crowd sourcing to be used to obtain input from the masses.

• Recognition to nation’s researchers is important.

• Usage of social media in the country to be analysed. Social media to be used productively.

150

AR2015ENGVERSION.indd 64

The forum identified the following as the Way Forward in addressing the bottom billion needs:

1 A change of mindset at all levels of the

quadruple helix (Government, Academia, industry and Community).

2 Inculcate elements of social responsibility

and a caring society at all education levels.

3 Role models such as social philantropists

(e.g Jonas Salk, Bill Gates etc.) to lead the way to galvanise research that addresses the needs of humanity.

4 To have champions at all levels of the

quadruple helix to forge the agenda for soul-based R&D.

5 Working with the bottom billion

community to realise value creation for them as our “customers�.

6 A collaborative framework for enabling mechanisms at all levels to create value-based solutions.

7 Create a proper governance structure for R&D such as the National STI Council to drive the agenda of the bottom billion.

NST-ASM Future Malaysia Forum ‘For knowledge to be learnt by others, it must be shared and known by all.’

Tan Sri Dr Ahmad Tajuddin Ali FASc President

The Future Malaysia Forum is a new collaborative effort by ASM and NST. This Forum is envisioned to be an annual platform for national think tanks and research institutes to work strategically by sharing their latest findings, analysis and recommendations in charting the way forward for a sustainable and prosperous nation. Six institutions presented their findings on various aspects of national development.

1 Economy

Economic Outlook: What are the Challenges and Opportunities?

by Dr Shankaran Nambiar, MIER

“There is a major gap of economy perception in Malaysia and the world. If you are looking for a glorious future in 2050, you need to be at the cutting edge of knowledge, and it has to come from multi-factor productivity.

Payment of wages as a proportion of GDP is not huge, which signifies it is not right and something needs to be done at the level of productivity which comes from innovation and creativity. We need to have inclusive growth, and urban poverty needs to be better handled.”

Malaysia 2050: Great Aspirations.

How is the Science Outlook?

Society and Culture: Are We at a Crossroad?

Future Hopes: What are the Prospects for Youth?

“Investment in STI is a priority as Malaysia moves towards becoming a high income nation by 2020. There is a need to leverage STI to produce technologies, products and services in focal areas pertinent to economic growth, national development and global competitiveness. The government needs to apply strategic STI options, opportunities and priorities in support of the nation’s socio-economic agenda.”

“Malaysians are observed to have a thinned-ethnic boundary that allow them to have a cross-cutting social ties and social relationship. This has opened up a new social scenario that allowed the society to go beyond ethnicity and embraced civic nation elements in its development and nation building”

“The development of the Malaysian’s youth is a daunting task that many parties have set to achieve. Often these initiatives require the appropriate yardsticks in addressing the issues of evaluation, improvement and constructive development. In order to extract the highest level of benefits from policies, we first have to examine the root cause of the problems they wish to address; the Malaysian Youth Index (MYI) is the key to that necessity.”

by Hazami Habib, ASM

3 Industry & Technology High Tech Industry: A Game Changer or Not?

by Rushdi Abdul Rahim, MIGHT

“Rapidly developing technologies hold the potential for massive economic impacts that could disrupt businesses, transform lives, and fundamentally change the global economy.

They also hold the potential to change the nature of work and possibly displace millions of workers, implying significant public policy impacts.”

by Professor Dr Mansor Mohd Noor, KITA

5 Socio-politics Foreign Policy and Security: Where are We Heading?

by Syed Bakri bin Syed Abd Rahman, IDFR

by Dr Wasitah Hj. Mohd Yusof, IYRES

“Malaysia is gearing to play a more prominent role internationally as a ‘middle power’, a status that befits its standing as a high income developed country by 2020 and beyond.

However, there are some domestic issues that need to be dealt with / clarified as we go full steam ahead internationally.”

Social Inclusiveness in Innovation for Sustainable Development Challenges in S&T inputs and interventions are often seen as a prelude to policy development or support for decision-making.

However, this is not executed in the whole value chain of policy implementation towards meeting SDGs. To address these issues within the ASEAN community, ASM in collaboration with ISTIC, ASEAN-UNESCO and MOSTI organised a Senior Officials Forum on Social Inclusiveness in Innovation for Sustainable Development.

This forum centralises within four themes which are: • Leveraging Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship • Good Practices and Technology Sharing of Social Innovation • Enabling Environment for Social Innovation • Addressing Issues and Challenges Beyond Social Innovation to promote and facilitate consultations in pursuing social innovation.

ISTIC-Unesco International Conference/ Forum/ Seminar on UN Post-2015 Development Agenda As the chair of ASEAN for 2015, Malaysia hosted the ISTIC-UNESCO International Conference/ Forum/ Seminar on UN Post-2015 Development Agenda. This amplifies Malaysia’s commitment in championing the STI policy formulation and implementation and STI human capital development. It also provided a platform for policy-makers and stakeholders in developing countries to discuss on the key issues related to the UN Post-2015 Development Agenda.

ASM in collaboration with ISTIC organised two important fora as follows: 1. International Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) High Level Forum on ‘Evidence Based Science Education in Developing Countries’ 2. International Forum on “Harnessing Women’s Talents in Science, Technology and Innovation” The recommendations were collated and presented as a declaration to YB Dato’ Seri Idris Jusoh, Minister of Education II as the representative of YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Muhyiddin Mohd Yasin, President of the Malaysian National Commission for UNESCO at the Closing Ceremony of the event. The recommendations represent important inputs from stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific through Malaysia to assist UNESCO in implementing the UN SDGs 2016-2030.

Recommendations to UN SDG 4:

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

a. It is a priority for all governments and national Ministries of Education to improve education in all STEM subjects. b. Ministries of Education should implement small scale but high quality pilot projects on proven hands on inquiry-based methods of science teaching by those who have received training in view of the positive impact on performance in national and international assessment as proven in other pilots already conducted. These pilots could act as demonstration prototypes. c. More time should be given to science subjects to enable teachers to carry out inquiry-based science approaches. d. Schools should be given greater autonomy in choosing textbooks and in implementing the science curriculum. e. STEM teachers should have access to continuous professional development on delivery methods to encourage inquiry thinking.

SDG 5:

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

a. All Government ministries and private sector organization have to recognise that women bring different and unique capabilities to the workplace. There must be a mindset change and genuine recognition by society and policy makers that there are benefits in valuing women and having their participation at all levels. b. There has to be a paradigm shift on how we define success. The female perspective has to be articulated and this will require educating girls helping them develop an identity to find their passion and giving them freedom to choose. c. Organizations must practice an inclusive and equitable opportunity for both men and women to undergo leadership training and development that takes into account male and female leadership styles. d. A supportive and enabling environment which include national policy, integrated eco system that is both women and family friendly through alternative and flexible work arrangements. e. The Women in STI Forum will be institutionalised by ISTIC hosting the Forum once every two years in Malaysia.

Biosecurity According to the UN Report on Biosafety and Biosecurity (2004), biosecurity refers to the protection of microbiological assets from theft, loss, or diversion which could lead to the inappropriate use of these agents to cause public health harm.

While we are moving towards becoming a developed nation by 2020, biosecurity remains a major part of our scientific ecosystem. ASM collaborated with the Science & Technology Research Institute for Defence (STRIDE), an agency under the Ministry of Defence (MinDef) and the US Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) under the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) co-organised two seminars.

in brief • National Seminar on the Convergence of Chemical and Biological Security: • Participants: 128 from universities, government sector, NGOs, Industries • Speakers: 4 local and 7 international • ASEAN Discussion on Preparedness Against Chemical-Biological Threats: • Participants: 84 from Southeast Asia • Speakers: 7 local and 15 international

It is important to work hand-in-hand with ASEAN communities since biological and chemical weapons are transboundary threats that need mutual cooperation between different nations. Biological and chemical convergence needs to be updated and alerted among all researchers in Malaysia and neighbouring countries as a global concerted effort. The two seminars are important to ensure Malaysian researchers and scientists are ready to implement our own National Code of Conduct for Biosecurity in the Framework of Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention that was recently established.

Asian Innovation Forum: Towards A Better Asia The Asian Innovation Forum (AIF) opens up channels of communication between Asian countries. The forum brings together leading figures and institutes in STI to discuss research findings, policy trends and current challenges that each member country faces. The forum also discussed on joint growth and sustainable development.

The inaugural AIF was themed “Towards a Better Asia: Seeking New Possibilities of Innovation”. As the onset of the forum, the Asian STI Think Tanks Network (ASTN) was officially launched as a global think tank during the inaugural forum. The network will actively participate in technology transfers and build networks with international key players.

in brief • The 1st AIF was held in Seoul, Korea from 25 to 26 Aug 2015.

• YM Tengku Datuk Dr Mohd Azzman Shariffadeen Tengku Ibrahim FASc represented ASM in the signing of MoU. • The founding members of ASTN are made up of 12 organisations from 9 countries.

The Smart Village Initiative: Energy for Off-grid Community The Smart Village Initiative collaborates with organisations that care about rural energy access and its related issues, including education, community health and SMEs. The initiative is a two year multidisciplinary study that aims to look at technical, entrepreneurial and policy solutions to provide sustainable energy for development in off-grid rural communities. This endeavour was created for rural communities to enable them to benefit from the technological developments.

Six regional workshops were organised to gather input from stakeholders who are involved in rural electrification projects by European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) in collaboration with global organisations, namely Malaysian

Commonwealth Studies Centre at Cambridge (MCSC), Cambridge Malaysian Education and Development Trust (CMEDT) and InterAcademy Panel (IAP). Thus, ASM as the strategic partner organised the ASEAN regional workshop in collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). The workshop brought together leading scientists, engineers technologists, entrepreneurs, financers, thinkers and doers in the ASEAN region to help lift people out of rural poverty from the bottom-up, using access to modern energy services as a catalyst for rural development.

in brief • The global Smart Village Initiative was launched by YB Minister of MOSTI on 25 Jan 2015.

• The ASEAN regional workshop was held from 25-26 Jan 2015 in Kuching, Sarawak.

• Workshop participants: 81 from 15 countries.

• Field trip participants: 40 visited hydroplant managed by villagers at Kampung Sri Stamang 2, Lubok Antu, Sarawak.

• The Smart Village Initiative aims to develop an insightful, bottom-up view of the challenges of village energy provision for development, and how they can be ovecome.

• The target group of the initiative is the 1.3 to 1.6 billion people in the world without access to electricity, and the 2.7 billion people without clean cooking facilities.

• The final recommendation will be presented in Brussels, Belgium in 2016.

Science Communication in the New Age

MEDIA

ENGAGE

RISK

POLICY

EVALUATE

The advent of the 21st century has transformed information or knowledge accessibility, flow and connectivity. The opportunity for enhanced science communication lies in the surge of young people who have access to vast sources of information. In an increasingly globalised and modern world where S&T is accelerating rapidly, knowledge empowers people to make informed decisions and public understanding of science.

In this context, effective science communication has become a socio-economic imperative, particularly for developing economies to ensure that the society becomes more open and receptive towards STI. In light of this, ASM initiated the idea of an integrated set of science communication recommendations and strategies that are sufficiently flexible to apply in a local context; towards fostering local acceptance of S&T initiatives, products and services.

Hence, through the collaborative effort of ASM with APEC, YSN-ASM and MOSTI, the Young Scientists Workshop on Effective Science Communication in the 21st Century was organised involving participation and implementation of APEC member economies.

This project was implemented under the umbrella of the APEC Policy Partnership in STI (APEC PPSTI) to provide a platform for capacity-building, knowledge-sharing and hands-on implementation of best practices among young scientists and selected media practitioners.

The workshop deliberated on the following science communication themes and tool: i. Science in the Media ii. Public Engagement with Science iii. High Risk in Science & Technology iv. Science and Public Policy v. Science Communication Evaluation Tool The alliance of young scientists and media practitioners can expand the pool of science communicators who are not only able to think wisely but also communicate the message to the masses. This will allow scientific values to be understood and minimise communication gaps among scientists, policy makers and the society in APEC economies.

Thirteen science communication assignments were completed and presented by the participants as one of the outcomes of the workshop. The assignments encompass of various case studies on prevention of communicable diseases, scientific controversy such as rare earth plant, misconceptions on nuclear energy, nutritional issues for consumers and the representation of science topics in social media (e.g. Facebook & Twitter).

158

Building Disaster Resilience 7th General Assembly

Moderated by Ms Meera Sivasothy Presenter and Producer at BFM89.9

Malaysia has recently experienced a number of large scale and devastating natural disasters, including floods, landslides, earthquake and damaging storms. Realising this, there are critical and urgent needs for the country to enhance the capabilities to manage natural disasters.

How can we prepare to withstand the shocks of natural and man-made disasters? How can we efficiently help the affected communities? And can anything be done to help communities ‘bounce back better’? In short, the challenge is to make Malaysia to be more disaster resilient. It’s not only about saving lives but about preserving livelihoods.
