PM: Technical fields the future, grads will be much sought after


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The younger generation needs to be encouraged to venture into technical fields, especially engineering which is often associated with the term "dirty, difficult and dangerous" or 3D, as these fields have brighter job market potential with higher returns.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) said graduates of fields that often raise negative perceptions, whether directly or otherwise, are the ones expected to be much sought after in future job markets.
