KUCHING, Oct 1: Sarawak is positioning technical professionals as a key enabler in translating its sustainability ambitions into economic progress as the State accelerates development towards a low-carbon and technology-driven economy.
Sarawak Deputy Minister for Energy and Environmental Sustainability Datuk Dr Hazland Abang Hipni said the shift was creating new industries, investments, businesses and professions, making technical capability increasingly critical.
“To capture these opportunities, we need more than technology and capital; we need technical capability,” he said in a media release.
Dr Hazland highlighted this at the launch of the National Technical Profession Day (HPTN) 2026 National Showcase at the MyASEAN Roads & Traffic Tech Expo (MyARTTE) 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur today.
