00:00Your Royal Highness, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:06In a world defined by rapid technological change,
00:11our collective security depends on our ability to understand, adapt and act together.
00:20This year's team is urgent, as the landscape of global security
00:27is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by rapid advancement in science and technology.
00:36When we speak of emerging technologies, we refer to AI, autonomous system,
00:43quantum and space technologies, hypersonic system, biotechnology, advanced materials,
00:51energy systems and next generation communication.
00:54This will significantly impact future military operations.
01:02We must understand that these emerging technologies are disruptive.
01:09They are redefining military power, shifting focus from traditional platforms
01:16to interconnected autonomous system.
01:20Most importantly, their convergence creates entirely new paradigms and capabilities for warfare.
01:31Your Royal Highness, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
01:35recent conflicts demonstrate that warfare is increasingly defined by technological capability and integration.
01:45So, we must rethink our approach to building defence power.
01:53Firstly, focusing solely on highly sophisticated, expensive platform is inadequate for high intensity conflicts.
02:06There is a rising need for a treatable mass deploying large numbers of low-cost expandable system
02:16like mass-produced drones which are easier to sustain.
02:21In this approach, the hardware is secondary to the digital backbone computing infrastructure, data and AI.
02:32Secondly, advantage in warfare lies with those who achieve information dominance.
02:40The future battlefield is characterized by connectivity, legality and precision.
02:48Therefore, we must optimize emerging technologies and integrated command system to collect, process and act upon data faster than our
03:01adversaries.
03:01Your Royal Highness, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
03:06The defence sector stands at a critical turning point.
03:10Emerging technologies are redefining the very nature of military power.
03:16This is what ASEAN must understand and act upon.
03:21Our region is vital to global stability,
03:25But we are now exposed to this new defence landscape.
03:31We need more than just investment.
03:35We need re-calibration and transformation,
03:40balancing technological advancement with ethics and responsibility.
03:47Ultimately, we all seek peace, stability and prosperity.
03:53This is why we choose this team for the Putrajaya Forum to drive discourse,
04:01build understanding and lay the foundation for meaningful actions.
04:08I hope our deliberation extends beyond this wall to the public.
04:15The picture TW투Y
04:16This tells us,
04:16Do you mind oh my?
