Networking is very important in developing science at the world level. How far the local leaders aware, funding allocated and effort the country put.

If Malaysia really looking forward for vision 2020 and world class in science and technology, more scientists need to be recruited, more money need to be allocated and definitely all seniour scientists need to be respected and given chance freely to develop young scientists.All professors are leaders in their field, give them money and task and make sure we have enough scientists in 2020, nine years to go. Recent misleading thinking and decision where professors should find their own money for their research and research grants only for the young one, we will see the failure soon. We do not want to regret after we retired.
