An example is Malaysia’s vision 20–20 (Sarji, 1993) that, among other innovative concepts, proposes the development of a new information highway and to that end a range of new programs aimed at fostering a homegrown creation of a wide range of information technologies. The new focus on knowledge creation is accompanied by increased funding for research and development.

Western influence commencing about 300 years ago constitutes a small fraction of the thousands of years of history of these peoples.
