KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia must continue advancing the use of bio-based and plant-derived technologies as sustainable alternatives to conventional chemical treatments in water and wastewater management. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof stated that such innovations reduce the nation’s carbon footprint and environmental impact while enhancing resource efficiency and national self-reliance. He emphasised these efforts align with the National Energy Transition Roadmap to ensure water sustainability and environmental stewardship move forward in harmony. Fadillah, who is also the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, spoke while officiating the Malaysia International Water Convention 2025. He stressed that as Malaysia progresses towards Water Sector Transformation 2040, bold steps must be taken to embrace emerging technologies and empower local innovators. The Deputy Prime Minister asserted that Malaysia must not only adopt technologies from abroad but also create, refine, and export its own innovations globally. He highlighted the importance of cultivating a vibrant ecosystem of home-grown startups, researchers, and entrepreneurs to build local intellectual property. Fadillah also launched the NextWave Innovation initiative and the Young Water Professional Mentor-Mentee programme during the event. He described the convention as a catalyst for transformation that unites government, industry, academia, and innovators to harness water’s full potential. A key highlight is the Non-Revenue Water Workshop focusing on efficiency improvement, resource conservation, and long-term sustainability. Fadillah noted that through smart metering, leak detection, and data-driven monitoring, Malaysia is taking bold steps to align with global sustainability goals. He elaborated that the NextWave Innovation initiative bridges the gap between research and application through collaboration between PROTEMP and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. These partnerships represent the collaborative DNA that Malaysia must continue to strengthen for real-world impact. Fadillah announced Malaysia envisions establishing a National Water Hub by 2040 in alignment with the AIR2040 aspirations. This hub will serve as the nerve centre of the nation’s water ecosystem, connecting research, innovation, policy, and industry under one dynamic framework. He concluded that the mission of sustainable water management requires collective responsibility from policymakers, industry players, researchers, and communities. – Bernama

PUTRAJAYA : The Ministry of Higher Education is ready to collaborate with the Ministry of Education to strengthen the integration of moral and ethical values within the national education framework. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir stated that education should not be seen as two different systems between schools and universities. He emphasised that education should be one continuous process that holistically shapes individuals with intellectual and moral integrity. “We are open to cooperation, and I want to see in context why the country’s education cannot be separated,” he told reporters after attending the 2025 Malay Language Academic Awards Ceremony. Zambry explained that both ministries need continuity in their educational processes and curriculum development. He highlighted that curriculum development cannot proceed separately without addressing disciplinary issues and value instilment. The minister revealed that the current higher education curriculum already incorporates value elements through General Studies modules. These modules have been undergoing improvement since last year under the guidance of two academic figures. Professor Datuk Dr Osman Bakar and Professor Datuk Dr Shamsul Amri Baharuddin are overseeing the curriculum enhancements. Zambry stated that the new framework emphasises nation-building, civilisation and value formation. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call to strengthen the moral foundation of the education system. “Although these subjects already exist at the university level, the Prime Minister has instructed that their content be shared with the Ministry of Education,” he said. This sharing will enable core values to be instilled earlier in the learning process according to Zambry. Both ministries are currently reviewing their respective education policies to ensure value development remains a key component. Zambry expressed confidence that the Ministry of Education is moving in the same direction regarding value-based education. The Prime Minister recently urged the education system to refocus on strengthening moral and ethical values. This call followed several cases involving children that were linked to weaknesses in value formation. – Bernama
