MALAYSIA’S DEFENCE INDUSTRY – DEVELOPING A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS WITH STRONGER LOCAL COMPETENCIES
"Productive consultations between MIDA and key stakeholders in the defence industry such as the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), the Technology Depository Agency (TDA) and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) are necessary to formulate the Dasar Industri Pertahanan Negara. This helps to identify gaps in the defence industry ecosystems, capacity building for domestic players and enhancing the effectiveness of current initiatives, such as the Industrial Collaboration Programme, to ensure sustainable growth of the Malaysian defence industry."
THE MALAYSIAN DEFENCE WHITE PAPER: GROWING THE LOCAL DEFENCE AND DEFENCE RELATED INDUSTRY AGAINST ALL ODDS
"Now, how is this DWP different from previous defence policies? For one, the DWP offers a different strategy, one that is more holistic and covers all aspects of military power, domestic support and foreign relations. This approach involves rallying all layers of our government and society in dealing with issues related to national defence."

IN PERSON WITH: MOHD ZAKWAN MOHD ZABIDI SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, MIGHT
"Currently, the nation is at war with Covid-19. In just one year,
we’ve gone from two deaths to more than 2 million across
the world. Covid-19 is not only a global pandemic and public
health crisis; it has also severely affected the global economy
and financial markets."

REIMAGINING DEFENCE INDUSTRY
"The defence industry is segregated from the broader national industrial base… There is a need to recognise the value of including it into the broader industrial base where we could take advantage of existing commercial systems and emerging technologies."
FROM THE DESK OF DATUK DR MOHD YUSOFF SULAIMAN
"Exponential technologies are disrupting traditional industries at an ever-increasing pace, and the pandemic has basically put these changes into hyper-speed."
