Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Liew Chin Tong.

The talk of building a talent pipeline in the country consisting of youth in schools and universities will take years and is, however, misplaced as the need of engineers and skilled workers is immediate, said Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Liew Chin Tong.
