As Malaysia moved into the Era of Fourth Industrial Revolution, there’s a lot of activities conducted in 2019 especially in the area of training and awareness. As much as we would like to have as many people and companies to be aware of the IR 4.0 impact and also gained more graduates from the Universities, we shouldn’t forget that to nurture a country to be more innovative, we need to become a “Producer-Nation” rather than just “Consumer-Nation” that only buys and use foreign technologies and products.
In this article, we would like to introduce the faces of “silent” heroes who have become pioneers in their own area of IR 4.0 business. They have build Startups when the rest focused on trading-based business, they build products and solutions that are home-grown, and some have gone beyond the shores of Malaysia and become globally known. These pioneers and “unsung heroes” should be recognized for their unstoppable desire and commitment to see Malaysia have their proudly own products and technologies.
