KUALA LUMPUR: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates should earn a minimum wage of RM3,000 or there would not be takers should the minimum wage be the same as non-skilled workers, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Rural and Regional Development Minister also said that the TVET secretariat, which was formerly under the purview of the Higher Education Ministry, has now been moved under the purview of the office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
