KAMPAR: Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah has called for sufficient policy-making, regulation and education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to ensure new technologies are used for the greater good instead of instigating more inequality among the people.

The Sultan said this was because the costs and benefits of technological changes were unlikely to be evenly distributed, and this could contribute to worsening inequality.
