MIMOS Celebrates 25th Year in Research & Development - Tun Dr. M awarded recognition

Today MIMOS celebrated it's 25th year in research and development for Malaysia. Starting from a pioneer team of less than ten people and RM5 million, MIMOS has certainly grown to great proportions.

The video is of Tun Dr. Mahathir's congratulatory speech to MIMOS, the recipients of recognition for IP contributions and for the pioneering management team.

The speech starts with Tun mentioning that MIMOS started with RM5 million, a small sum in comparison for today. Note: video has some cuts in between; not the full length. It doesn't have the part that Tun says "my job actually here is to congratulate them..."


Second video starts with Tun talking about getting funds for Proton to research on developing electric powered cars and comparing the minuscule budget to General Motors with a budget of $3 Billion. 


Third and final video starts with Tun talking about how family owned Italian companies can produce very professional prototypes at a very high price. It ends with a book signing,
