KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will look into ways to enhance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes to help lower the youth's unemployment rate, says Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

"We hope to lower the youth unemployment rate, which is at double-digit now to single-digit. Other countries are able to do so, and we hope to do it and do it better," he told reporters after the opening ceremony of InvestSmart® Fest 2018.
