  • 5 April 2014 MH370 PRESS BRIEFING by HISHAMMUDDIN HUSSEIN, MINISTER of DEFENCE and ACTING MINISTER of TRANSPORT 1. Introduction
    5 April 2014 MH370 PRESS BRIEFING BY HISHAMMUDDIN HUSSEIN, MINISTER OF DEFENCE AND ACTING MINISTER OF TRANSPORT 1. Introduction It’s been almost a month since MH370 went missing. The search operation has been difficult, challenging and complex. In spite of all this, our determination remains undiminished. We will continue the search with the same level of vigour and intensity. We owe this to the families of those on board, and to the wider world. We will continue to focus, with all our efforts, on finding the aircraft. 2. Investigation into MH370 As per the requirements set out by the ICAO in Annex 13 of the International Standards and Recommended Practices, Malaysia will continue to lead the investigation into MH370. As per the ICAO standards, Malaysia will also appoint an independent ‘Investigator In Charge’ to lead an investigation team. The investigation team will include three groups: an airworthiness group, to look at issues such as maintenance records, structures and systems; an operations group, to examine things such as flight recorders, operations and meteorology; and a medical and human factors group, to investigate issues such as psychology, pathology and survival factors. The investigation team will also include accredited countries. Malaysia has already asked Australia to be accredited to the investigation team, and they have accepted. We will also include China, the United States, the United Kingdom and France as accredited representatives to the investigation team, along with other countries that we feel are in a position to help. 3. Formation of committees In addition to the new investigation team mentioned above, the Government - in order to streamline and strengthen our on-going efforts - has established three ministerial committees.

  • Local Researchers Honoured at Malaysia's Rising Star Award
    11/8/2016 Local researchers honoured at Malaysia's Rising Star Award | New Straits Times | Malaysia General Business Sports and Lifestyle News Local researchers honoured at Malaysia's Rising Star Award BY ZULITA MUSTAFA ­ 7 NOVEMBER 2016 @ 12:01 PM Like 0 Facebook 0 Twitter Share 0 NEW FINDS: Local researchers honoured at Malaysia’s Rising Star Award THE role of research at universities is crucial not only in developing academic systems but also for Malaysia to be a part of the global knowledge society. For Professor Dr Lee Keat Teong from Universiti Sains Malaysia, one of the five Malaysia’s Rising Star Award (MRSA) Young Researcher recipients for 2016, being cited from his published papers by peers means that his research is relevant for other researchers working on their own experimental work. He said: “This also indicates that the education system in Malaysia is capable of producing researchers that are on a par, if not better, with researchers from world­renowned institutions.” Lee, 39, has published papers in the field of biofuel, specifically biodiesel and bioethanol. Both are renewable fuel with biodiesel being used to run trucks and buses, and bioethanol to run cars. “You need to look at the positive side and be more creative and innovative in conducting research work to get the best results out of the resources and facilities made available, especially in the current unfavourable economical situation,” he said. He added that the USM management right from the vice­chancellor to the deputy vice­chancellors and deans have been supportive in creating an ambience that allowed him and his research team to achieve what he has achieved today.

  • MRT Project Needed to Cater for Population Increase Malaysiakini.Com Disember 22, 2010
    MRT project needed to cater for population increase Malaysiakini.com Disember 22, 2010 The MRT and high-speed train projects for the Klang Valley must be implemented now to cater for the population increase each year. Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri said if not now, the government would still have to do it eventually as the existing public transport system would not be able to cope with the rapid population increase. "Our roads have become increasingly congested as each year almost a million new vehicles are registered, resulting in many public complaints on congestion and discomfort. "That is why this public transport system upgrading initiative is very important, particularly for Greater KL as this area alone has more than five million residents," he said when winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2011 for his ministry in the Dewan Negara today. The MRT, the biggest infrastructure project in Malaysia, is an entry point project for the National Key Result Area (NKRA)-Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley under the Economic Transformation Programme. The project is expected to start in July next year and will take five to six years to complete, with the first route linking Sungai Buloh and Kajang via the city centre. Abdul Rahim said if the government delayed in providing a suitable, modern public transport system, the cost would go up in future and be a bigger financial loss for the country. "We cannot delay this project as other countries in the region like Singapore with its MRT system, and China, its high-speed trains, are advanced in this field." He said the public must think positively about the project aimed at further improving the public transport system which would not only benefit the local population but foreigh tourists as well.
