KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — The local defence industry needs to rise again and be independent and not rely on outside expertise in its effort to strengthen the country’s defence and security, said Science and Technology Research Institute For Defence director-general Dr Mohd Yazid Ahmad.
“Efforts to support the need and preparedness of the country's defence, especially in key areas, like supply of basic military equipment, armaments and maintenance of the Malaysian Armed Forces’ assets will be successful by strengthening local expertise. “Currently, STRIDE is also actively conducting studies and research involving academicians and local industry players, as well as forging a strategic relationship between the Defence Ministry and related agencies by providing grants and special funds for research and development purposes,” he said.
"For example, we see no room for improvement of prototypes produced as there is no demand or ntertest from industry to commercialise them, while the industry thinks that the prototypes produced do not meet the needs of end-users and do not attract investment," he said. On the commercialisation of local innovations, Mohd Yazid said the country had high potential due to various initiatives implemented by the government for defence equipment.
