IN the journey towards digitalisation post-Covid-19, there is an urgent need to beef up the skills of the local workforce. To reduce the risk workers face of being displaced by automation, they need to be provided with suitable education.

According to international management consultancy McKinsey & Co, approximately 50% of work time in Malaysia is spent on routine activities which are likely to be automated; examples include work done by payroll officers, legal support workers, production workers and machine operators.
