Abstract
Introduction
In the 9th Malaysia Plan, which was tabled in the Malaysian Federal Parliament on 31st March, 2006, the Government of Malaysia has allocated one special chapter on the development of biotechnology in Malaysia. The 9th Malaysia Plan says that ‘biotechnology is poised to be the next wave of knowledge based industries that will contribute to growth and wealth creation, new investment and employment opportunities as well as deliver social and environmental benefits’. One of the thrusts under the 9th Malaysia plan is the creation of regulatory framework to facilitate the build up of strong and diversified biotechnology industry.
