I came across the story of a Sarawak-born space engineer who played a key role in developing the MAVERIC CubeSat, which is bound for space aboard a SpaceX rocket.

As a fellow Malaysian, I couldn’t be prouder. Stories like these remind us that talent, determination, and innovation know no boundaries. It’s inspiring to see Malaysians contributing to technologies that reach far beyond our shores—quite literally.

To every Malaysian making an impact in technology, engineering, science, and innovation, thank you for showing the world what our nation is capable of. Your achievements inspire the next generation to dream bigger, aim higher, and believe that they too can make a difference.

Congratulations to Irfan, and here’s to many more Malaysian success stories reaching new heights.
