KUALA KANGSAR: Universities must shape their students to become more resilient and progressive in a world that is seeing rapid technological advances, Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah said.

Noting that these technological changes could create new jobs and at the same time end existing careers, he said it was impossible for universities to prepare their students for the world of work if they themselves did not clearly understand job patterns of the future.
