The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) officially launched the National Science Week (MSN) 2026 Sarawak Zone Carnival to promote scientific culture.

Advancing Science and Technology in Sarawak

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) inaugurated the National Science Week (MSN) 2026 Sarawak Zone Carnival in Kuching on July 30. The initiative aims to foster a deeper appreciation for science, technology, and innovation among the local population.

By organizing this regional carnival, MOSTI intends to cultivate a scientific mindset within the community. The program focuses on making complex scientific concepts accessible to students, educators, and the general public throughout the Sarawak region.

Objectives of the MSN 2026 Program

The carnival serves as a strategic platform to bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding. Key objectives of the Sarawak Zone launch include:

• Encouraging participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines.
• Promoting the adoption of innovative technologies in daily life.
• Strengthening the local scientific ecosystem through community engagement.
• Inspiring the younger generation to pursue careers in technical and scientific fields.

Regional Impact and Engagement

The launch in Kuching signifies the government's commitment to decentralizing scientific engagement and ensuring that technological literacy reaches all parts of East Malaysia. The MSN 2026 program is expected to feature various interactive exhibitions, educational workshops, and demonstrations.

These activities are designed to stimulate curiosity and provide hands-on experience with modern technological advancements. Through such regional events, MOSTI seeks to build a more science-literate society capable of driving future economic and technological growth.
