Ministry of Education:The Malaysian education sector is now at an important crossroad with respect to the challenges brought forth by the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (4IR). Thus, we have to find new avenues to equip our graduates with the ability, skills and knowledge to face any perceived gaps. Furthermore, by embracing 4IR local institutions will be able to sufficiently produce graduates who are industry ready. We thus need the right blend of approach and encouragement so that Malaysia will be able to produce students who are ready to partner the industry players and work with them for a more focused and mutually beneficial approach in fulfilling the needs of 4IR. Hence, the government has put in place initiatives including financial allocations to allow such collaborations to take place, such as matching grants and facilitative bodies, to enhance cooperation between universities, local Industry players and international agencies in strategic areas. It is realized that research and development efforts at university levels are having disconnects with market needs, which leads to the lack of participations that would enable researches and innovations to be of industry’s needs and commercial importance.
