"The success inherited by the country cannot be continued if creativity and innovation do not become part of the nation's culture. People are the most important factor in a knowledge-based economy, a new era which invariably leads to the subsequent knowledge management paradigm. As we move into this new, and for some, challenging, era where intellectual capital and organization intelligence are recognized as the key factors for continued survival, competitiveness and growth, knowledge management becomes increasingly critical and fundamental for survival and self-sustenance."

~ YAB Dato' Seri Abdullah Bin Hj Ahmad Badawi ~
