PUTRAJAYA, Oct 8 — Malaysia needs skilled talent to support its transition to a high-value economy, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir said.
He said the country has several policies and plans to develop highly skilled talent, including the Malaysia Higher Education Blueprint 2026-2035, the 13th Malaysia Plan and the National Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Policy 2030.
“We want industries to move further up the value chain. We want high-growth sectors to expand. We want quality investments to bring in technology and better jobs.
“However, there can be no economic transformation without talent transformation. We can bring in the best technology and develop the most advanced infrastructure, but ultimately, everything depends on people with the knowledge, skills and values to drive it,” he said.
