Malaysia regional leaders call for stronger TVET to support industry growth
Malaysian regional leaders in Sabah and Sarawak are emphasizing the importance of strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to meet the demands of expanding local industries.
In Sabah, Chief Minister Hajiji Noor highlighted the need for TVET to produce a competitive workforce specifically for the oil and gas sector. To support human capital development, RM39.24 million has been allocated under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation for programs including TVET, STEM, and digital technology.
In Sarawak, Minister for Transport Lee Kim Shin noted that growing activity in infrastructure, renewable energy, and modern transport requires workers with practical expertise. He specifically identified the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) as a key area requiring specialized skills in electrical, mechanical, and hydrogen technologies.
