PETALING JAYA, Nov 10 — Developing a highly skilled workforce must remain a priority for Malaysia to fully capitalise on opportunities arising from digital transformation and the rapid growth of high-tech industries.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Chang Lih Kang said that while Malaysia continues to attract billions of ringgit in high-tech sector investments, the country’s success ultimately depends on its local workforce’s ability to master and harness emerging technologies.
“Malaysia is currently at the forefront of the regional digital transformation, with global companies choosing the country as an investment destination for artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, smart factories and renewable energy, further strengthening our position as the digital backbone of the Asia-Pacific region.
