The Bilateral Forum MIROS MIMA was held today via a virtual platform, went well as planned. MIROS and MIMA are glad to have the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport Malaysia (MoT), YBhg. Datuk Isham bin Ishak officiated the forum.

The forum, which was attended by more than 150 participants comprising representatives from the Malaysian Marine Department (JLM), Malaysian Navy, and international participants, was a good initiative in seeking cooperation opportunities between MIROS and MIMA as a research institute under the purview of the MoT.

We surely will resonate with the mission of our ministry, to see the agencies under it grow together as the outcome of this forum. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has work tirelessly to make this happened especially the organiser, @mirosroadsafety and the @ministryoftransportmy . Thank you to the active participants who stay until the end of the forum.

Tea-Talk Time

This week Tea-Talk session featured Jeslyn Tan, a Researcher from the Centre for Maritime Security and Diplomacy (MSD). She chose to present on the "Geopolitical Relevance of Maritime Non-Traditional Security Cooperation in Southeast Asia". It was a broad area to be discussed quickly, but she managed to deliver some essential points for the topic.

Maritime non-traditional security in Southeast Asia's maritime domain affects the common interests of regional and extra-regional states. She highlighted the regional bilateral and multilateral maritime non-traditional security cooperation among ASEAN states and with the extra-regional powers. Jeslyn noted that such cooperation impacts three aspects of the Indo-Pacific geopolitics - the maritime territorial and boundary disputes in Southeast Asia, the US-China rivalry, and the role of middle powers. This is because other than maintaining the peace and security of the Southeast Asian sea lanes and states also use maritime non-traditional security cooperation as a tool to pursue their geopolitical interests in the Indo-Pacific region.

Indeed it was an insightful presentation. Maritime non-traditional security cooperation in Southeast Asia should be promoted as these threats are primarily transnational and cannot be dealt with alone.

Tea-Talk Session

MIMA's tea talk session continued in September with Muhamad Shafiq Ismail, a researcher from the Centre for Ocean Law and Policy (OLAP). He presented on "Maritime Digitalisation in Malaysia: Challenges and Opportunities".

Undeniably, technology plays a crucial part in transforming the maritime sector. The digitalization that we are talking about in this industry is closely related to the Industry 4.0 vision. However, there are some obstacles to move forward generally on financial, regulatory, infrastructure capabilities, and cyber security threats.

Shafiq explained that Malaysia is ready to move into that era by applying a digitalisation policy with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the National Industry Policy Framework 4.0, the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint, and the Cyber Security strategy.

Thank you, Shafiq, for providing us with the most current maritime issues on digitalisation. Indeed, it is one of the most critical areas we should look into, especially given the current pandemic situation. We are confident that the Malaysian maritime industry will be ready for the digitalisation era if we are consistently putting much effort into turning it into reality.

Malaysia: A Maritime Nation Book Virtual Launching

MIMA is pleased to have the book officiated and launched by YBhg. Datuk Isham bin Ishak, the Secretary-General Ministry of Transport Malaysia (MoT). We were delighted to receive a congratulations message from the Honourable Minister of Transport, YB Datuk Seri Ir. Dr Wee Ka Siong, at the event.

The publication of the Book ‘Malaysia: A Maritime Nation is another milestone for MIMA. The hard work from 18 experts has proven that it is not just a book. It represents Malaysia as a maritime nation from different aspects. Over the last 28 years, MIMA as a maritime research institute in Malaysia has played a significant role in promoting Malaysia’s maritime interests. Its outputs have been well-received as it fulfilled its mandate to protect our national interests at sea, promote regional security cooperation, and foster greater collaboration with regional and international partners.

Thank you very much to the @ministryoftransportmy for the continuous support and other partners involved. Not forgetting to all the attendees who were there at the event. We appreciate your presence. Thank you!
