Besides being guided by the spirit of excellence (itqan), Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said Muslim countries can also learn from the Chinese phrase long ma jing shen (dragon-horse spirit) – used to describe energy and vitality.
Dr Maszlee said that in a special session at the Kuala Lumpur Summit 2019 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre here on Friday (Dec 20), adding that there was a need to promote a "renewal-oriented education" which emphasises continuous improvement in one's approach to knowledge.
The Education Minister also said more should be done to retain talented scholars and thinkers at universities.
