Fest to boost nation’s intellectual excellence


PUTRAJAYA: The Putrajaya Festival of Ideas 2024 aims to empower higher education and strengthen Malaysia’s image as a centre of excellence for intellectual discourse and innovation, says Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.

The Higher Education Minister said the festival would assemble experts, policymakers, academicians and the community in general to discuss innovative ideas and solutions to current challenges confronting the country and the world.

“The festival is also organised to revive the glory of cultural excellence and produce a community that appreciates knowledge.

“All ideas and research are brought and gathered in one platform to share the country’s success with the world community and frame the country’s future through ‘The Malaysian Success Story’ and elevate Putrajaya as a ‘City of Ideas’,” he said at the event’s roadshow here yesterday.

According to Zambry, the festival would encourage innovation and creative solutions to address global challenges such as economic inequality, sustainable development and climate change.

The Putrajaya Festival of Ideas 2024 will be held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here from Nov 27 to 29.
