As a researcher, the most important post I ever held was the Secretary for the IRPA 8th Malaysian Plan Committee. IRPA is the bloodlife for researchers to get grants to fund their work. We look for researches that can benefit the public most, not just ideas which have no practical use or for the researcher to get promoted. We scrutinized hundreds of proposals from reseachers from all over the country. Some approved, most rejected and some became laughing stocks during our meetings.
