We at MIMA are pleased with our 27th place ranking in the category of 30 Best Government Affiliated Thinks Tanks in 'The Global Go-To Think Tanks Report 2011'.  

The 'Global Go-To Think Tank Rankings' is the most comprehensive ranking of the world's top think tanks.  MIMA's inclusion in the rankings is a mark of recognition for the quality of its research outputs, including publications and research programs, and its contribution to policymaking.

The rankings were compiled by Think Tanks and Global Societies Program (TTGSP) under the International Relations Program at the University of Pennsylvania, USA.  TTGSP conducts research on the trends and challenges facing the world's think tanks and maintains the largest, most comprehensive global database of think tanks.

The nomination and selection process involved a range of experts and peer institutions including expert panelists for all the regional and functional research categories; journalists and scholars with expertise in politics, think tanks and civil society; active and non-active directors of think tank programs and networks; intergovernmental organizations and academic institutions.

New Year Message
by

Y. Bhg. Dato' Noor Aziz Yunan

Director General of MIMA

Esteemed MIMA website visitors,

The arrival of the new year is a time for resolution, reassessment and revitalization.

For MIMA, 2012 is the year in which it will lay down the pillars to attain its vision of becoming a Center of Excellence in maritime policy research.  We sincerely have to assess where we are now and what are the gaps, and plan the way forward to fill in the gaps.  We need to improve ourselves on all fronts.  Continuously wanting to improve is a hallmark of such a center.

Being a Center of Excellence also calls for us to go beyond putting a fresh coat of paint to things.  We need to revitalize ourselves and inject a breath of fresh air and a spring to our step.  We need to become more dynamic in order to become a better and eventually an excellent organization.

The journey to attain the status of excellence will be full of challenges.  To get there requires all of MIMA's staff to be firing on all cylinders.  Attaining this lofty target requires the staff to live, breathe and act excellence.  Mediocrity has no place in an organization with such a bold and brave ambition.

Brief on 'APEC : Outcomes and Outlook 2011/2012'

Date: 18 January 2012
Venue: ISIS Malaysia

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum is poised to play a more substantial role in the years ahead as a major multilateral regional grouping as countries across the vast Asia Pacific region increasingly depend on trade to promote their economic growth.

The international spotlight will be trained on the performance of this dynamic and vibrant economic region to help moderate the impact of the Eurozone debt crisis and to help take the world out of its recession.  In meeting this expectation, APEC will continue to promote regional economic integration and open markets among its member economies, in line with the open regionalism concept which the forum propagates.

These were among the key points stressed by HE Amb. Dato' Muhammad Noor Yacob, Executive Director of the APEC Secretariat during his briefing on 'APEC : Outcomes and Outlook 2011/2012' at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia on 18 January 2012.
