Essence of values.
New Sunday Times.
Abstract
RECENTLY, I made a presentation entitled Reinventing Science at the Academy of Sciences Malaysia Inaugural
Lectures.
The crux of the talk was how Science, over the years, has become a mere tool of economic utility under the
banner "commercialisation". In an era of knowledge economy, Science and Technology is the main vehicle for
creating wealth to move up the value chain. The word "value" is now associated with "profitability" — the
higher the value chain, the better it is for a company or individual. In other words, the meaning of "value" is
narrowly understood in materialistic terms.
