GEORGE TOWN, Aug 29 — Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow today said that the federal government should focus on talent development under Budget 2023 in order for the country to remain competitive.Chow pointed out the federal government had previously focused on health, education, infrastructure development and digitalisation.
He hoped more funds will be allocated for vocational training and skill centres to train skilled workers. He said investors look at many factors but a skilled talent pool will help the country stand out in competition with other countries in the region."How can we move forward to continue to capture investments if we do not address issues such as foreign labour?"
