Malaysia, China deepen high-tech collab under Belt and Road framework
(From left) Chiew, Chang and Lee seen during the bilateral meeting, held in Chengdu. MIRI (June 15): Malaysia and China have reaffirmed their growing partnership in science, technology and innovation (STI), following a high-level bilateral meeting between the two countries' respective ministries of science and technology. According to Miri MP Chiew Choon Man, who was part of the Malaysian delegation at the meeting, the discussions meant to deepen collaboration under the 'Belt and Road Initiative', with both countries expressing strong commitment to joint efforts in high-tech industries. 'Our shared efforts in advancing science and technology are a testament to the long-standing friendship between Malaysia and China. 'This meeting has been highly fruitful and a step forward in cementing long-term strategic partnerships that benefit both our nations,' said the parliamentarian in a press statement issued yesterday, in connection with the 'Second Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange' in Chengdu, China. Also attending the recent session were Science, Technology and Innovation Minister of Malaysia Chang Lih Kang and former deputy minister of health, Datuk Dr Lee Boon Chye. The meeting built on the momentum of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Chinese Premier Li Qiang last year. The MoU identified six priority sectors for cooperation: artificial intelligence (AI), space technology, blockchain, advanced materials, biotechnology, and renewable energy. Since the inception of STI cooperation in 2013, both countries have experienced a steady expansion of collaborative programmes. To date, over 300 joint research project proposals have been submitted under the current framework, reflecting robust enthusiasm among researchers and institutions in both nations. Both governments also reiterated support for joint laboratory programmes, talent exchanges, and people-to-people initiatives. A notable development is the 'Malaysia-China Joint Laboratory Programme', which involves leading academic institutions from both countries. These platforms are expected to accelerate technology transfer, innovation, and commercialisation of scientific breakthroughs. China has remained Malaysia's largest trading partner since 2009, contributing 16.8 per cent of total trade. With this growing STI collaboration, both countries are now aligning efforts in critical sectors including digital economy, green energy, vaccine development, and space technology – all seen as key drivers for Malaysia's long-term economic transformation.

The path to a brighter future
GEORGE TOWN: As school-leavers and parents face pressure to make the right education choices, the Star Education Fair 2025 provides a one-stop platform to explore academic programmes and financial aid opportunities. Now in its 38th year, the long-running fair is a rare opportunity to access diverse study options and funding resources under one roof. Held over two days until today, the event drew tens of thousands from Penang and neighbouring states on its opening day yesterday. Visitors explored over 100 booths representing 57 local and international institutions offering programmes ranging from pre-university to postgraduate levels. Students were drawn not just by enrolment perks but also by the chance to engage directly with education providers. S. Yamuna, 18, a recent SPM leaver from SM Bukit Jambul, attended with her mother in search of an information technology course. 'I was in the IT stream at school, which gave me early exposure to software and computing. 'Now I'm looking for something that matches my interests and is affordable – ideally with scholarship options,' she said. Her mother M. Puspa Kumari, 49, appreciated the convenience of comparing multiple institutions in one place. 'Tertiary education is a big step. This fair saved us the trouble of visiting each campus individually,' she said. For Form Five student Jason Lim, 17, the fair was an eye-opener. 'I wanted to explore both local and overseas universities,' he said. 'Scholarships and foundation programmes matter a lot to me. Even if I qualify, the cost of living and tuition need to be manageable. I also want a course with strong career prospects.' Exhibitors echoed the fair's importance, particularly in the northern region where such events are held less frequently. Patrick Ooi, assistant vice-president of INTI International College Penang, said the fair was an ideal platform to showcase over 50 programmes. 'We've received strong interest, several appointments and even on-the-spot sign-ups. 'With campuses in Penang, Subang, Nilai and Kota Kinabalu, we cater to a wide range of academic goals,' he said. Peninsula College deputy chief executive officer Tan Choo Khuan highlighted the appeal of their 'Campus-in-Industry' model. 'As a subsidiary of PKT Logistics Group, we place students within industrial parks where they can work part-time through our 'Jom Belajar Sambil Bekerja' initiative,' he said. 'They graduate with both academic and work experience certification.' Han Chiang University College of Communication (HCUC) vice-chancellor Dr Beh Kok Hooi noted that education fairs serve more than just promotional purposes. 'They raise awareness on the importance of tertiary education,' he said. 'With over 70 programmes, we're the only institution in the northern region offering Chinese Studies from diploma to doctorate level.' Organised by Star Media Group, the fair remains one of Malaysia's longest-running education expos. Admission is free, with door gifts for early birds. Key exhibitors include INTI International College Penang, Peninsula College, HCUC, Universiti Kuala Lumpur and The One Academy Penang. Others include UCSI University, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Universiti Malaya, TARUMT, AIMST University, Open University Malaysia, City University Malaysia, Wawasan Open University, University of Southampton Malaysia and Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia. Specialist colleges such as Ko Beauty Academy, Golden Chef College, Travex International College and Akademi Laut Malaysia join international institutions like Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University and Concord College International School. The event also features four booths focusing on TVET, three offering scholarships, three first-time exhibitors, two international participants and three booths centred on English language courses.
