  A Higgs-compatible boson has been observed at the LHC at CERN. We briefly
review the role of the Higgs in particle physics and describe some of the
current challenges in understanding the fundamental structure of the universe.
Is there supersymmetry and is it instrumental in uniting gravity with the other
three fundamental forces? What makes up dark matter and dark energy? We also
report on the efforts in experimental particle physics by Malaysian
collaborators to answer some of these questions.
