Due to advances in the imaging technology, monitoring of natural assets can be done remotely and at reasonable cost. Earth observation technology can also support other SDG agendas, including building smart cities, border surveillance and early warning on climate disasters. Investing in earth observation technologies will pay as we strive to achieve a better and more sustainable future for the nation. The deployment of earth observation imaging in Malaysia is still at a low level. It is time we invest in infrastructure to support earth observation technology.
