MAJLIS HIGH TECH NATION KETENGAHKAN TEKNOLOGI MASA HADAPAN

Semalam saya telah mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Majlis High-Tech Nation yang bertujuan merangka hala tuju teknologi sedia ada dan masa hadapan yang berpotensi untuk dibangunkan di Malaysia. Majlis ini juga akan melaporkan sebarang perkembangan secara terus kepada Majlis Sains Negara yang dipengerusikan oleh Perdana Menteri.

Program dan dasar yang akan dibentuk di bawah majlis ini adalah berpandukan kepada kerangka MySTIE 10-10 serta Dasar Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi (DSTIN) 2021-2030 yang telah saya lancarkan minggu lalu. Sebanyak 30 bidang keutamaan telah dikenal pasti menerusi rangka kerja ini dan majlis ini akan merapatkan jurang yang wujud bagi memastikan ia dapat memberi kesan maksimum kepada setiap bidang keutamaan.

Majlis ini juga akan mengambil peranan secara proaktif dalam mengetengahkan teknologi masa hadapan yang akan melonjakkan kedudukan negara sebagai peneraju teknologi.

Saya juga telah memilih untuk mengutamakan beberapa program, hala tuju dan dasar agar sesuai dengan keperluan masa kini yang mendesak.

Antara cadangan yang telah dibentangkan semalam adalah berkenaan perubatan kepersisan (precision medicine) daripada Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM). Perubatan kepersisan berasaskan teknologi data raya ini berupaya mendiagnos serta merancang perubatan yang berkualiti dan terjamin bagi seseorang pesakit.

Selain itu, Institut Penyelidikan Hidraulik Kebangsaan Malaysia (NAHRIM) juga telah membentangkan Hala Tuju Inovasi Air Negara yang akan menjamin keselamatan air. Menerusi hala tuju ini, sebanyak lima program telah dikenal pasti iaitu sungai yang bersih, rizab margin air, sistem air pintar, pengurangan risiko bencana dan pembiayaan air.

Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi (MOSTI) pula telah membentangkan 9 hala tuju yang sedang dibangunkan oleh agensi-agensi di bawah kementerian. Kesemua hala tuju yang akan dibentangkan pada pertengahan 2021 ini akan memacu kerajaan untuk merangka pelaburan serta memformulasi dasar terbaik dalam pembangunan teknologi-teknologi tersebut. Pelan itu antara lain akan merangkumi: blok rantai (blockchain); nanoteknologi; robotik; hidrogen; kecerdasan buatan (AI); litar bersepadu dan bahan termaju (advanced materials)

Akademi Sains Malaysia telah membentangkan cadangan untuk menginstitusikan sebuah badan pemecut pengkomersialan teknologi (Tech-Commercialisation Accelerator) bagi mengetuai dan mengkoordinasi usaha-usaha penyelidikan beradasarkan perniagaan serta ekonomi. Penyelidikan dan pembangunan (R&D) serta sistem penyampaian ini akan dibuat berasaskan permintaan serta keperluan pasaran untuk inovasi-inovasi penganggu (disruptive innovations). Saya akan mengumumkan lebih lanjut mengenai perkara ini sedikit masa lagi.

Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (MIROS) telah membentangkan kertas kerja ‘Teknologi Motosikal: Penyelesaian Kepada Dilema Kemajuan Ekonomi-Keselamatan’ dan menjelaskan bahawa 66 peratus daripada kematian di jalan raya melibatkan kemalangan motosikal. Kami berharap untuk memberi insentif dalam pembangunan, pengaplikasian dan penggunaan teknologi sedia ada serta akan datang bagi memperbaiki kebolehcapaian kesemua aspek keselamatan jalan raya. Bidang yang berpotensi untuk dibangunkan termasuklah teknologi pengujian serta verifikasi, teknologi penghindaran kemalangan, teknologi mengurangkan kecederaan (dalam kemalangan), teknologi pemaduan kembali sosial (social reintegration technology-merujuk kepada teknologi respons pintar awal dan pemulihan) serta teknologi pengurusan dan perancangan strategik.

Kementerian Alam Sekitar dan Air pula telah membentangkan Hala Tuju Inovasi Teknologi Hijau Kebangsaan yang mensasarkan penggunaan teknologi hijau menjelang 2030 bagi memastikan kemampanan alam sekitar negara. Inovasi-inovasi sektoral di bawah pelan ini termasuk perolehan hijau kerajaan, teknologi grid pintar, proses perindustrian hijau, pengawasan sungai melalui Internet Segala Benda (IoT), skim Waste to Energy (WTE) and wealth, pengaplikasian bangunan hijau dan pintar, kenderaan cekap tenaga dan kenderaan elektrik, pertanian bandar serta IoT pengawasan hutan.

Akhir sekali, dalam kita mengadaptasi perubahan tingkah laku akibat COVID-19, saya telah meminta MOSTI menyediakan satu kertas kerja mengenai Inisiatif Infrastruktur dan Ekonomi Sentuhan Rendah. Ini memerlukan anjakan paradigma bukan sahaja dalam cara kita berinteraksi sesama sendiri, malahan dengan dunia secara keseluruhan. Antaranya termasuklah penggosok lantai berautonomi, robot pembantu (membawa barangan) dan sistem pengurusan sisa pintar di pasar-pasar awam. MOSTI juga telah melancarkan penggunaan robot di hospital dengan kerjasama KKM serta memulakan modul robotik, dron serta AI di ladang-ladang bersama FELDA. Beberapa inisiatif ini akan direalisasikan di bawah Sandbox Teknologi dan Inovasi Nasional (NTIS).

Kebanyakan progam, hala tuju dan dasar sedia ada selama ini telah dimajukan secara berasingan atau bersendirian oleh pelbagai kementerian dan agensi. Majlis High Tech Nation adalah permulaan baharu kepada cara kita membangun dan mengaplikasi teknologi dalam negara bagi memastikan segalanya selaras dan koheren dengan keperluan nasional.

HIGH-TECH NATION COUNCIL WILL CHAMPION UPCOMING TECHNOLOGIES

Yesterday, I chaired the first High-Tech Nation Council meeting, which aims to give strategic direction regarding existing and upcoming technology that has the potential to be developed in Malaysia. The High-Tech Nation Council will report directly to the National Science Council, which is chaired by the Prime Minister.

The programmes, roadmaps and policies under the High-Tech Nation Council are driven by the mySTIE 10-10 and National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy 2021-2030 that I launched last week. 30 niche areas were identified under this framework, and the High-Tech Nation Council will aim to fill in any gaps we have identified to make sure that there is maximum impact in these areas.

This Council will be proactive and champion upcoming technologies that we need to embark on as a nation to position us at the forefront of what is current and what is cutting-edge.

I have chosen to prioritise some of the programmes, roadmaps and policies in line with pressing national needs.

Some of the papers presented yesterday include the Ministry of Health’s paper on precision medicine, which takes a personalised, predictive, preventive and participatory approach to medicine. This will be layered together with big-data analytics to give personalised recommendations to each person.

National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) presented on the National Water Innovation Roadmap, to guarantee national water security. This involves five programmes; Clean River, Reserve Margin, Smart Water, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Water Financing.

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation presented nine roadmaps that are currently being developed under our agencies. All of these roadmaps will be unveiled by the middle of 2021. These roadmaps will guide our investments and policy direction in rolling out these technologies. They will cover: blockchain, nanotechnology, robotics, hydrogen, artificial intelligence, integrated circuits and advanced materials among others.

The Academy of Sciences presented on institutionalising a Tech-Commercialisation Accelerator, to spearhead and coordinate economic-oriented research in the form of demand-driven R&D and market-driven delivery systems for disruptive innovations. I will be announcing this in due course.

The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) also presented on Motorcycle Technology: Solving a Dilemma between Economic Development and Safety. 66% of the fatalities on the road involve motorcycles. We hope to incentive the development, application and deployment of existing and future technologies to improve accessibility and all aspects of road safety. Potential areas we are looking at include testing and verification technology, crash avoidance technology, injury mitigation technology (in event of crash), social reintegration technology (which refers to smart first response and rehabilitation technology), and management and strategic planning technology.

The Ministry of Environment and Water presented the National Green Technology Innovation Roadmap, which aims to leverage green technology innovation for an environmentally sustainable Malaysia by 2030. Sectoral innovations under this roadmap include government green procurement, smart grid technology, green industrial process, IoT river monitoring, Waste to Energy and Wealth schemes, application of smart and green buildings, energy efficiency vehicles & electric vehicles, vertical & urban farming, and IoT forest monitoring.

Lastly, but not least, in line with behavioural changes due to COVID-19, I asked MOSTI to prepare a paper on Low-Touch Infrastructure and Economic Initiatives. These will require a paradigm shift in how we look interact both with each other and the world around us. Some of the low-touch initiatives we have quickly identified include autonomous floor scrubbers, autonomous power assist robots (to carry your goods) and smart waste management systems in public markets. We’ve also launched robotics in hospitals together with MOH, and robotics, drones and artificial intelligence modules in plantations together with FELDA. Some of these initiatives will be realised via the National Technology & Innovation Sandbox.

Many of these programmes, roadmaps, and policies have existed and been implemented in silos by different ministries and agencies. This is just the start of how we relook at the development and application of technology in this country, to ensure everything is in line with our national needs and part of a coherent whole.

2020 Taiwan-US-Japan Trilateral Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue

Hello moderator, fellow panelists, I am Taiwan legislator Freddy Lim.

This year, due to the pandemic, we can only conduct this panel online. I’m still very glad to be invited to attend this event and exchange ideas with these great panelists. Here I want to share my views on today’s main topic: “Challenges and Opportunities in the Indo-Pacific Region and the Taiwan Strait in 2020 & Beyond”.

First I want to start with the conventional positioning of Taiwan under the established international order.

After WWII, the international order led by the allies dragged Taiwan into China’s civil war. Since then, Taiwan's been struggling with the “One China” dispute, unable to gain independence and world recognition like many other colonies.

Even though Taiwanese people have built an independent and democratic country after half a century of hard work, now we enjoy freedom and human rights, the international community still isolates Taiwan. One of the main reasons is obviously China.

The established international community viewed China as a huge economic opportunity, a partner that would eventually carry out political reforms and be integrated into modern international order. Under this conventional thinking, the international community is willing to help China ease and suppress many of its unpleasant problems, including the thorny "Democratic Taiwan."

This has reduced Taiwan to merely China’s “Taiwan Problem”. We’re even slandered as the “troublemaker” of the Taiwan Strait; As a result, the respect that Taiwan deserves continues to be shelved, and the active role we can play, the contributions we can make in the international community are also ignored.

However, this established international structure is now changing.

After decades of appeasement policy, and acquiring WTO membership in 2001, China’s various structural changes that the world anticipated have never taken place. On the contrary, China’s been using organized measures, such as bribing, infiltration, and hybrid-warfare, to undermine international norms. It’s worked hard to manipulate and control international organizations, in order to project its influence onto the world. These actions have been even more distinct after Xi Jinping became President of China in 2012.

Internationally, China implemented debt-trap diplomacy on many countries through the Belt and Road Initiative. It established Confucius Institutes around the world, which are basically intelligence operations in the name of culture. Chinese tech giant, Huawei also aids China’s international surveillance. Not to mention China’s relentless expansion in the South China Sea, building military bases, creating man-made islands. This year, it’s even more serious. We witnessed the long time Chinese infiltration into UN organizations. The favoritism towards China helped its cover-up, which led to the dysfunction of WHO, ultimately causing the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Domestically, the Chinese government not only failed to implement any political reforms, but it also created the “Social Credit” system with advanced technology, to surveil and control its own people; In addition, the Chinese government built the notorious “Reeducation Camps” - concentration camps in reality, in Tibet, Xingjian, where human rights conditions were already in a bad shape. Even the Hong Kong people, who were supposed to be protected by the promise of “One Country, Two Systems”, their freedom and human rights were completely destroyed by the Chinese government.

These compelling examples show that there is some serious fallacy in the conventional way of viewing China. All facts point to this: Taiwan is not the problem. China is the problem. China is the troublemaker of the Taiwan Strait. It’s the troublemaker of the Indo-Pacific region. It’s even the troublemaker of the entire world.

Under decades of collective misjudgement, China was allowed to become the most terrifying, largest digital authoritarian government in human history. It’s a new form of dictatorship. As a response, many countries have vastly changed their China policy in recent years, thus the change of international structure.

This brings me to my next point: Give Taiwan the status it deserves. Let us contribute to the international society.

In a new international structure, Taiwan shouldn’t be categorized as “China’s Taiwan Problem”. Instead, we should be one of the key countries for international cooperation, responding to the new type of dictatorship.

Taiwan has faced authoritarian China on the front line for decades. Many countries are now facing the problem of China's infiltration under its United Front programs. Taiwan started dealing with the same problems 10 to 20 years ago. We have gained a lot of experience to contribute to the international community.

Taking the COVID pandemic as an example, Taiwan has studied and analyzed the actual situation and the information provided by the Chinese government with a serious and high-vigilance attitude. Based on our experience and lessons learned from the China SARS epidemic in 2001, we decisively formed a series of epidemic preventive measures. We have handled the crisis with the principle of openness and transparency. Our people have been self-disciplined and willing to cooperate. All of this demonstrates the high level of democracy in Taiwan’s society.

After the domestic epidemic was brought under control, Taiwan has continued to share our epidemic prevention supplies and the experiences on forming epidemic prevention policies with the world.

Although Taiwan was suppressed, even excluded by China in various international organizations in the past, we’ve been doing our best to comply with the norms & regulations of international organizations. We always actively contribute every time we have the opportunity. What I want to say is, all of this proves Taiwan could be a reliable partner in the international community. We are capable of working with other countries to solve major problems. We deserve our seats and participation in international organizations.

Regarding the impact of U.S. change of administration.

Now the U. S. presidential election is over and the administration is currently under transition. Many countries, including Taiwan, are concerned about whether the new U.S. government will change its course on foreign policy, especially its China policy. However, the "Rebalance (of Asia-Pacific Region)" proposed by the Obama administration in 2011, was in fact already a strategic adjustment in response to the rise of China and possible subsequent expansion.

The Trump administration further proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy in 2017 to promote and uphold international law and regulations, aiming to ensure every country has the liberty to be free from oppression and coercion. I believe that both parties in the U.S. understand the root cause of the Indo-Pacific regional problem comes from the Chinese government. Even for the Biden administration, it will have to provide practical responses. Facing the new structure, they can’t just go back to the traditional thinking of the last century.

As for Taiwan, the pro-Taiwan acts in the U.S., such as the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018, Taiwan Travel Act, Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement, were passed with strong consensus between the Republicans and the Democrats. I believe Taiwan could be a key partner to the international community and play an active role in the free world. This isn’t just the consensus of the two parties in the U.S., but will be the consensus of all democratic countries.

In a progressive aspect, the International community can benefit from a wider recognition of Taiwan.

In recent years, the performance of Taiwanese society in terms of epidemic prevention performance, human rights, gender equality, marriage equality, and open government are actually in line with many progressive ideas and visions. The ideas and visions that many democratic countries have long supported. Therefore, I’m quite optimistic that, after 2020, Taiwan can make even greater progress, on multiple levels and in broader aspects, contributing to the international community.

Finally, I want to emphasize again that to truly resolve regional problems, we need dynamic multilateral cooperation. But this must not be a return to the conventional thinking of the past century, which was "expecting" China to abide by the international order. The outdated thinking had been proved to be a failure. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a series of Chinese infiltration and aggression after its rise in recent years, which became one of the most difficult issues in the world. I believe after 2020, U.S., Japan, and Taiwan can establish a new model of international cooperation through deeper collaboration and communication. And hopefully, this model will maximize the security of the Indo-Pacific region and promote peace, stability and development in the region.

This concludes my speech, thank you all for listening.
Lastly, I’d like to express my gratitude to the moderators, my fellow panelists, and the organizers of this event.
I wish everyone peace and good health. Thank you.

We're happy that Taiwan is committed to progress in human rights and hope that we can work with #LikeMindedCountries to ensure that everyone around the world "without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status" can enjoy a life of freedom, good health and fulfillment!

#TaiwanPride #StandUp4HumanRights

PTT is one of the most open social media platforms in the Chinese language. Though it’s not more populous than Facebook, it’s arguably more impactful than Facebook here in Taiwan. It’s a reflection of Taiwan's spirited democracy, and it’s used heavily as a source for local journalists.

We speak with two INDSR researchers on a year-long project, “A Pilot Study on PTT in the Context of Influence Operations” (批踢踢影響力作戰前導研究）which attempts to identify CCP state actors on the platfor. The researchers are Oddis J.F. Tsai (Policy Analyst at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources) and Dr. Jui-Ming Hung (Assistant Research Fellow at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources).

The paper lays out mechanics and - through quantitative analysis - identifies types of suspect behavior on the world’s largest non-commercial, forum-based, open-source online bulletin board system in the Chinese language. This interview was recorded in January 2021 after the paper was published by INDSR.

Today’s host is J.R. Wu - a non-resident advisor at INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia. She has led news bureaus for Reuters and Dow Jones.
