PETALING JAYA: Young Malaysians hope new Education Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will put emphasis on Science and Technology. “We can’t have these unless we have enough engineers, IT experts and scientists,” said Adrian Chan, a post-graduate student at Warwick University in Britain. “We also need more Malaysians to take up Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. For example, primary school Information Technology books still talk about Microsoft Office 2010 while Office 2019 is about to be released soon,” he said when contacted.
