RM497.54 mln for Sabah human capital development
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has allocated RM497.54 million this year to strengthen the human capital development agenda to produce a generation that is competent, innovative and has integrity, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. He said the state government continues to place human capital development as the main thrust in making the state's economic agenda a success, especially in exploring the great potential of the growing blue economy sector. 'The world has changed, and we also need to change. We can no longer hold on to the old system. Therefore, competitive and highly skilled human capital is needed to drive the state's development,' he said in his speech at the opening of the Sabah Blue Economy Skillfest 2025 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), here today. The text of his speech was read by Deputy Chief Minister II Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam, who is also Sabah's Minister of Local Government and Housing. The Chief Minister said that through the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Roadmap, the state government continues to formulate inclusive and sustainable development policies by prioritising increasing the people's capacity in the new economic era. According to Hajiji, from 2021 to 2024, a total of RM848.26 million has been allocated by the state government through four main education channels that benefit nearly 245,953 recipients. The allocation includes the Sabah State Education Fund (RM227.1 million), Sabah State Government Scholarships (RM324.1 million), Education Assistance from the Office of the Deputy State Secretary (RM164.14 million) as well as assistance and loans from Sabah Foundation (RM132.92 million). He said the Skillfest programme is among important efforts to strengthen skills training in the blue economy sector, which includes industries such as mariculture, fisheries, marine energy, marine tourism as well as ocean technology research and development. 'Sabah is rich in marine resources. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure that the people are prepared to harness this potential sustainably,' he said. Hajiji said the strategic collaboration between HRD Corporation and the Sabah Maju Jaya Secretariat (SSMJ) in organising this programme was commendable as it supported the government's goal of expanding access to lifelong learning. The programme is also a continuation of the success of the Sabah International Blue Economy Conference (SIBEC) 2024 which has attracted global attention and positioned Sabah as a major player in the regional blue economy.

FRIM Enhances Efforts To Commercialise Forest Resource-based Research Innovations
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- The Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) continues to strengthen its role in the development of forest resource-based technology and innovation through the comprehensive execution of research, development, commercialisation, and application (RDCA) activities. FRIM said the initiative represents a strategic effort by the institute to support Malaysia's aspiration of becoming a high-tech nation by the year 2030. 'In line with the Forestry Research Institute Malaysia Act 2016 and the National Research, Development, Innovation, Commercialisation and Economic (RDICE) Roadmap, FRIM plays a key role within the national innovation ecosystem by fostering collaboration between the research sector, industry, and government. 'This effort is guided by the National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (NSTIP) 2021-2030, which aims to achieve research and innovation investments totaling RM85.7 billion,' FRIM said in a statement. It added that it plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between research laboratories and the market by actively participating in national initiatives such as Malaysia Commercialisation Year and working closely with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). According to FRIM, several approaches have been implemented to drive innovation, including the provision of technology packages, product certification, technical advisory services, and incubation activities through its Innovation and Commercialisation Division. 'FRIM's intellectual property is managed through the Technology Information Management System (TIMS), ensuring that innovation outputs are well-protected and ready for commercialisation. These efforts are further supported by its wholly owned subsidiary, FRIM Incorporated Sdn Bhd, which plays a pivotal role in facilitating technology licensing and translating research outcomes to meet market demands,' it said. 'Among FRIM's key achievements is the successful commercialisation of clones and extracts from local herbs such as Kacip Fatimah (Labisia pumila) and Cucur Atap (Baeckea frutescens) which are now incorporated into natural wellness products with strong potential to enter international markets. The institute also provides consultancy and technology transfer services to both government agencies and the private sector. These services encompass a wide range of areas, including biomass product development, plantation silviculture, eco-friendly product certification, and biodiversity mapping.
