Abstract
Malaysia’s first formal science and technology policy was introduced
in 1986 (National Science and Technology Policy II 2000–2010 [NSTPII]
2000). One of the major programs of this policy was the provision
of greater opportunities for interactions between industry and public
research institutions. Its aim was to increase economic development at
a national level in tandem with support for Malaysia’s industrialization
program. Since its inception, the government has been proactive
in seeking industry collaboration and cooperating in enhancing several
economic and industrialization programs. For instance, a greater focus
on research and development (R&D) projects that involve industry has
been refl ective of this new policy implementation (NSTPII 2000). The
policy was originally formulated by the Malaysian National Scientifi c
and Research Council, membership of which consists of both government
and industry representatives (NSTPII 2000).
