Ideas for empowering TVET


AS technology continues to shape our economy, the need for skilled labour becomes critical.

With a relatively competitive labour market and favourable business climate, Malaysia is poised to be a key destination for international manufacturers, notably from China. The Chinese see Malaysia as a perfect location for economic pursuits given our multiracial composition and also our geopolitical advantage. Malaysia is home to about 7.5 million Malaysian Chinese whose culture and cuisine would make it amenable for mainland Chinese nationals to co-exist.
