English abstract

The commitment of the Federal Government of Malaysia to enhance the capability of the country's higher education sector is the highest priority. This is proven by World Bank that shows since the year 2016, Malaysia is the world's fifth-largest country to allocate public funding for higher education. In the year 2017, Malaysia has remarkably allocated RM12.28 billion budget for higher education and an increase of 13.15% to RM13.89 bilion for the year 2018. Moreover, in line with the shift 7 of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) (MEB (HE)) innovation ecosystems, the research sector narratives have shifted from ‘culturing research' to 'bring research that can directly benefit the community'. Since that, Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education has provided Research Priority Roadmap 2017 which focuses on: a. The Grand Challenge program, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), led by Malaysian Research Universities; b. Bringing translational research into focus, becoming more valuable and relevant for bottom billions; for example:- i. Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) - implement rice research that has succeeded in increasing crop yield and rice quality. ii. Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)–implement research in membrane technology that is used to treat clean water during floods. iii. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)–implement research on Langkawi Geopark that helps to preserve and conserve flora and fauna. iv. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)–implement Zika Virus detection research as used in conjunction with Olympic games in Brazil in 2016. c. Promoting talent among researchers involved in the field of SDG as well as the 4th industry revolution; and d. Positioning the investigation for global excellence in line with the 8th MEB (HE) shift.
