"My aspiration is for Malaysia to become a fully developed nation by 2020 - a knowledge-based economy through its own ‘truly distinctive’ National Innovation System’…a model for other developing nations to emulate."

"My particular interests lie in the legal governance of knowledge in “Knowledge Innovation Zones”, which facilitate the ability for sectors to truly thrive in an aspiring knowledge-based economy."

"Intellectual property law enforcement of copyrights, trade secrets and patents, etc., has the ability of subduing the growth potential of these sectors. Lack of enforcing these rights in some developing nations, prevent firms in these sectors from effectively ‘collaborating’, which has a debilitating effect on their growth potential. Enforcement of (or lack of enforcement) intellectual property rights can also be an operational risk, which companies need to consider in their corporate strategies."
