In his speech, Encik Nurul Islam highlighted MRC's effort in implementing a new program called the '3 + 1 I' Fund, which refers to ideas, inventions, innovations, and investments to promote new products and technologies in the rubber industry. It is hoped that this strategy will help diversify the country's rubber products to be marketed globally and increase the value of the country's rubber exports.
MRC will also set up a Commercialisation Unit tasked with identifying potential investors and innovations with commercial potential, as well as being active in promoting commercialisation and investment opportunities. In addition, the unit will also focus on providing advice by experts and formulate specific initiatives aimed at fostering commercialisation and investment activities in the Malaysian rubber sector.

In line with MRC’s initiative launched in 2019, Fund for Automation and Green Technology (FAGT), to encourage the widespread use of automation in which will help to increase efficiency and further intensifying competition among the country's rubber industry players.
