reat to be at the closing ceremony of the Universiti
24 OKTOBER 2025
Malaya Research, Innovation and Industry Summit
(UMRIIS 2025) - a gathering of brilliant minds, visionary

Gresearchers, and committed industry partners who
share a common belief: that research must serve humanity, not just
history.

It is a reaffirmation of our mission, to make research purposeful, to make innovation
human, and to make impact meaningful. In an era defined by rapid geopolitical,
technological, and environmental shifts, we must ensure that future-driven research
remains our compass to navigate global uncertainties.
At Universiti Malaya, we will always strive to lead in research, innovation and critical
inquiry, across all dimensions - from curing diseases and advancing human health,
to forging new economic ideas, pioneering renewable energy, harnessing the digital
revolution, and exploring the frontiers of space and quantum science.
Through our 10 new focus areas introduced since 2024, we are strengthening our
role as a thought leader and problem-solver, delivering real solutions that benefit our
nation and humanity.

It is vital that we not only maintain our research excellence, but also create new,
anticipatory fields that will define the future of humanity.

We must not wait for others to lead, we must start early, foresee what is to come, and
set the pace.
