He noted that any Malaysian who can read and write is eligible to attend a skills training course at any Technical Vocational Educational Training institute. The minister is here to lead the Malaysian delegation to the Special Session of the ASEAN Labour Ministers and Singapore Conference on the Future of Work.
“That doesn’t speak well at all. No country can be developed, no country can prosper unless a substantial part of the workforce is skilled. These are great challenges that we have, and we hope over time we can do it,” he said.
