HUMAN RESOURCE & YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

The Micro-enterprises and SMEs constitute a nation’s engine of growth. At the core of anything and all, are the peoples of a nation. Herein lies, I believe my strength: working with youth.

I can see potential and identify that which is ready to be uplifted and to grow. I can sculpt potential into real talent and skill. I can integrate all of these into a value chain, that can be seen and perceived by others.

I started getting deeply involved right at the start of my career: “Identifying Important Areas in Chemistry for a Human Resource Development Program in Science & Technology”, by Professor Muhammad Idiris Saleh and Norlidah M.N. for the Prime Minister’s Department, April 2001.

It is nice to be recognised. UMP Internationalisation Programme – Around the World in 1 Day 2010… Footsteps Towards Humanity was Awarded National Best Practice for Internationalisation of Malaysian Institution of Higher Education.

“

If there is one message that I would communicate to the youth, it is: ‘Don’t do it!’ They say, ‘Everyone does it.’ I told myself ‘I am not everyone’. You will pay the price when you refuse to play their game, they will make life difficult for you, but it is a small price if you are ready, prepared and mentally strong. I am proud … I never sold my soul. I never will.

GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

It is important to ensure continuity in an organisation. Sincerity in professionalism is not about staying in an organisation forever, it is about ensuring the growth of the organisation. Hence, continuity means that when you are no longer there, whomever comes after you will be able to adopt, adapt and progress. The best way to do this is to document. General publications include internal or external documentation that is produced for this purpose.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

My dream would have been to quietly conduct my research in a laboratory, far away from the light. My career took me somewhere else. It took me to places and to meet minds, I would never have imagined.

I stand firm on my basics as a fundamental scientist specialising in the field of Solid State Magneto-Chemistry. I was the first Malaysian JPA Scholar to complete all three cycles of the tertiary education in a French University in France and to graduate with a Doctorat. My training as a scientist has shaped me to think with clarity, precision, and disciplined curiosity, grounding every idea in evidence and rigorous reasoning. I have been trained to define problems carefully, question assumptions, and test hypotheses systematically, while recognising that even small errors can affect entire conclusions. Through continuous analysis, experimentation, and refinement, I have learned to separate observation from interpretation, to remain comfortable with uncertainty, and to adjust my views when data demands it. This training has instilled both intellectual humility and resilience—an ability to hold ideas lightly, pursue truth objectively, and connect concepts across disciplines to arrive at deeper, more coherent understanding.

Two Themes of Research:

1 – Scientific Research. Study of Tertiary and Pseudo-Tertiary R_xT_yX_z Compounds where R = Rare Earth Element, T = Transition Metal Element and X = (Si, Ge).

This research addresses the synthesis and characterization of a wide variety of R_xT_yX_z compounds crystallizing in a variety of structures, all correlated through structural similarities, thus all revealing something of the other. This axe of research mainly concerns the chemistry and physics of binary, ternary and pseudo-ternary compounds constituted of rare earth elements (R), transition metal elements (T) and Si, Ge (X). It is important to realize that amongst the areas of study on R_xT_yX_z intermetallics, studies on structural properties are the most basic. It is this aspect that constitutes the first key research objective: The structural study of R_xT_yX_z compounds. There are two components to this objective: the structural elucidation of compounds through monocrystal studies; and the extension of these compounds in the synthesis and revelation of novel compounds. The second key research objective resides in the determination of physical properties of these compounds. We are probably dealing with structurally related intermetallic “layered” compounds which harbour metallic, semi-metallic and even covalent bonds masked behind complex electronic structures. The presence of layers within the structure presents anisotropy in the physical properties. By varying the material’s chemical composition and thus anisotropy, we may be able to finely tune the dielectric, magnetic and electric transport characteristics and explore the potential applications as new bulk or thin-film devices.

RESEARCH IMPACT This theme of research would provide a solid platform for the exploration of materials in the solid state.  This work would call upon the strongest understanding of basic chemistry and physics. Key impact from this research would include: publications in international journals; scientific intellectuals of the highest caliber; and penetration into the solid state research world nexus in particular dealing in magnetism, fundamentals of bonds and intermetallic materials.

Future work: Computational Chemistry and Electronic Structure Calculations toward a Deeper Understanding and Possible Prediction of the Properties of Compounds with Respect to their Structure.

2 – Social Sciences, Policy & Strategy Research

Study of science and technology issues related to nation building and their solutions, towards contributing to resolutions and strategies for policy prescription.

Linear strategies are strategies of yesterday. If a nation wishes to move forward on a strategy that can be implemented, then this strategy would need to be flexible, adaptable and complex in its ramifications. This strategy would need to be void of any specific point of departure, and any specific point of arrival. Only then would a nation or an association of nations be able to stand the tides of uncertainty.

It is now widely recognized that science and technology are essential elements in ensuring competitiveness as well as sustainable and socially equitable economic development. Scientific progress has become a more direct driver of the innovation process. Technical progress has accelerated in areas where innovation is directly rooted in science (e.g. biotechnology, information technology, new materials) and private sectors’ demand for links to the science base has increased. Innovation now often requires more external and more multidisciplinary knowledge, as many technologies have become extremely complex. As these new complex technologies increasingly become the indispensable adjuncts of much that we do, there is no doubt that the underlying asset is the individual, the being that pursues new knowledge and allows this new knowledge to emerge in the form of science, in the form of technology or in the form of innovation.

Building scientists and intellectuals of tomorrow lies at the heart of this research effort. First and foremost, our top key success factor and asset is THE SCIENTIST. There must be no doubt about this. Hence, the ambiance created must be one that provides for the scientist, in terms of space, facilities, support, communication, and funds. He should not be required to exercise time and effort to create or to establish these requirements that will make up his milieu. Only then can the scientist focus on delivering that which the country aspires. Secondly, there needs to be clear distinction between different directions along the science and technology value chain. There should be a strict distinction between the effort for horizontal development and vertical development. Horizontal development cuts across many disciplines and mindsets. Vertical development allows for a deeper development in the understanding of a specific area or topic. This is shown in the Figure below. Both are prerequisites for scientific and technological advancement. Good R&D management would require a balance, not necessarily even, of the two.

Lastly, it is important to stress that the process for knowledge to emerge requires time, dedicated focus and imaginative discipline. Only then can this emerging knowledge pave the way for deeper scientific understanding or advancements in technology leading to breakthroughs and a wider technology application domain.

ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

I am able to empower an organisation for the long term by building and thus contributing to its infrastructure, infostructure, manpower, processes, process platforms, and funding channels—even within a relatively short span of one to two years. My focus is on creating sustainable systems and capabilities, not dependency, and therefore I do not need to remain as a permanent employee over decades in an organisation.

I think we need to be open about the environment and how this can, if we do not navigate wisely, become inconducive to our scientific dreams or career objectives. I learned the skill of navigating internal politics and the deeply rooted social conditioning characteristic of many Asian professional societies.

Special Appointments

With the backdrop of nation building and socio-economic development, Norlidah was honoured to be appointed the Advisor in Education, Science & Technology at the Pahang State Foundation chaired by the Chief Minister of the State of Pahang. The Pahang State Foundation deals in the socio-economic development of the peoples of Pahang. The position of Advisor in Education, Science & Technology was a position that was created by the Honourable Chief Minister of Pahang with the expectations that Norlidah would impact Pahang, particularly the youth in a substantial and sustainable way. In April 2013 (through to December 2013) Norlidah was further tasked to head the Education Aid Department, Yayasan Pahang.

Blueprints & Strategic Plans

Norlidah contributed in providing input for the development of the State of Pahang. She provided drive and is key author of the Strategic Roadmap and Implementation Plan of the Pahang State Foundation 2013-2020. The most notable development under her responsibility was the development of entrepreneurs. Here, she conceived, developed and implemented the Pahang State Foundation Global Entrepreneur Programme, in collaboration with the International Management & Finance Academy associated to the Ecole Superieure Libre des Science Commerciales Appliquees, France (Egypt Branch). The Pahang State Foundation Global Entrepreneur Programme was initiated to address a serious issue. Yayasan Pahang was adamant to find a practical and workable solution to the probrem faced by Anak Pahang graduating from the Middle-East in particular the Islamic Studies Scholars who upon returning to Malaysia found tremendous difficulty in marketability, employability, and adaptation into the Malaysian administrative system. The Foundation established, in December 2012, an Entrepreneur Development Incubator on the groundfloor of the building to efficiently monitor the development of its entrepreneurs with business ventures such as manufactured food production and agricultural ventures in paddy and cocoa. Furthermore, the Majlis Kerjasama Kepimpinan Yayasan along with the DAMAI Foundation and the PEMBINA Foundation showed interest in the process of up-scaling the Yayasan Pahang Programme to national level to offer the opportunity to students from other states.

Corporate Listing

Played a key role for a private higher institute to undergo a public listing exercise.  Her role here was to reorganize and expand the postings and placements of the 16,000 over students in the medical industry and in medical establishments. This was a critical factor that contributed strongly to the successful public listing of this higher institution.

Interview Panel

1. Interview panel (overseas) for UMP faculty / academic members (Egypt, USA) – 2 persons.
2. Interview Panel for UMP University Fellowship Scheme, USA, 2010 – 30 persons.
3. Interview Panel for Research Fellows, China, 2010 – 6 persons.
4. Chairperson, Interview panel for Executive Diploma in Management & Entrepreneurship, Yayasan Pahang – IMFA Egypt collaboration, Pahang, 2011 – 61 persons.

Clinical Postings & Placements

Dr Wan Norlidah played an essential role in streamlining all processes related to the coordination and management of Clinical Postings and Health Sciences Placements for MUCH and all three Associate Colleges, throughout Malaysia and Globally for ten of the eleven Diploma Programmes covering a total number of postings of 55,598 in the year 2009 alone. The process includes the sourcing of areas, all communication verbal and written to secure the placement, arrangements for lodging and transportation, supervision coordination by clinical instructors or local preceptors, and the safe return of students to campus. She introduced real-time manual gap analysis, allowing the team to track secured and confirmed placements. She also initiated the practise of producing Master Lists (in advance) for each programme and for each hospital/health establishment.

UNESCO

During her tenureship at the Office of Science Advisor to Prime Minister, Prime Minister’s Department, Norlidah was greatly exposed to the policy crafting, monitoring and implementation process. She was also exposed to the activities of World Bodies such as OIC, UN and UNESCO.

Much later, as Director of the International Office, University Malaysia Pahang, she opened the minds and hearts of the students to global issues. She did not need a huge budget to engage the students. The investment was not in RM or USD, the currency was compassion, voluntarism and humanitarian outreach.
