An immediate allocation of RM200mil will be channeled to fortify Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) courses to cater to investors’ needs, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister announced this while officiating the National TVET Day at the Kuala Langat Industrial Training Institute on Saturday (June 8), and said this was in addition to the RM8bil already spent on TVET courses as the country needs such a shift in education and skilling.

00:00Music
00:17the country has to spend.
00:20The current spending, even if it is asked to be increased,
00:25is the highest in history in the field of Tibetan education,
00:31almost 8 billion.
00:33And I think before the end of this year,
00:36with some additions,
00:38I believe it will exceed 8 billion ringgit for Tibetan education.
00:45I emphasize this because
00:48some people think that this education is for people who fail in academics.
00:55It's not true.
00:56As mentioned earlier, the Kosen is in Japan,
00:59but before that, it was in Germany.
01:03Humans, these children, they have an interest.
01:06They have an interest,
01:08some of them have an interest in history philosophy,
01:12some in mathematics,
01:14some in arts,
01:18culture.
01:20So, we have to go into that field.
01:23Children, for example,
01:25who choose to go into the field of trade,
01:29the field of mechanics,
01:30the field of automotive,
01:31and now,
01:33aviation,
01:35AI,
01:36they have to go into it from the beginning.
01:39This does not leave the basic education,
01:43which is called STEM.
01:45The basics must be given.
01:48The mastery of Malay as an interpreter,
01:51the introduction to English,
01:53because this is a field of knowledge
01:56that is needed in today's challenging world.
02:00But interest in technical,
02:05electrical,
02:07automotive,
02:09aerospace,
02:11digital,
02:13is sometimes achieved by oneself.
02:16There is a study in 5-6 years ago,
02:19in Port Dickson,
02:21which surprised me too.
02:23It was done in schools.
02:26There are village children
02:28who are not so good in the academic field,
02:32but they excel in coding,
02:35defeating children who are smart in the academic field.
02:43So, it's a loss for us
02:45if we don't recruit these children
02:48in the field of coding,
02:49which is considered a difficult field
02:52in computer and digital practices.
02:58So, that's why the government considers
03:02this is an important step.
03:05And I congratulate
03:07because if we entrust it to TPM Datu Siti Zahid
03:11to manage all aspects of TIVET,
03:15he managed it with a real commitment,
03:19including in the TIVET conference.
03:23Malaysia now,
03:25in this year,
03:26more than 6 months ago,
03:29has become an important investment center
03:34in terms of semiconductors.
03:36Malaysia is among the top in our region.
03:40Semiconductor hub for the region.
03:43From Germany,
03:45from the US,
03:47from China,
03:48from several European countries,
03:50they choose Malaysia
03:53and export our chips to the US.
03:58American demand in terms of chips
04:03is 25% from Malaysia.
04:07Boeing aircraft,
04:10the wings,
04:11whether in Nilai or in Selangor,
04:14do not fly.
04:16Boeing aircraft or Airbus,
04:19if they are not prepared by TIVET students
04:22and professors in Malaysia.
04:25This is not known to many.
04:28When I got the report,
04:30it was shocking.
04:31And this is known.
04:33When I met Boeing in the US
04:36and Airbus in Germany,
04:39they admitted
04:41the efforts of our children.
04:44Why did Microsoft choose Malaysia?
04:48Why did Google choose Malaysia?
04:51Because, of course, the politics are stable.
04:55Of course, there is a clear basis.
04:58But it cannot be denied
05:02that because of the discipline and hard work
05:07among the children,
05:09when they are given trust,
05:10they are treated well
05:12and they show a passion,
05:15a desire to give the best for the company.
05:20This image must be there.
05:22Therefore, in our training,
05:24including in TIVET,
05:25about discipline,
05:27about spirit,
05:28about love for the country,
05:29it must be based there
05:31because it will determine
05:34the pattern and discipline of our next work.
05:40Let it be clear,
05:41please be clear, sir.
05:43Savings,
05:45additional income,
05:47TIVET program has been developed
05:50and for today only,
05:52I announce,
05:53because there is a complaint from the Prime Minister,
05:55what do I want to do?
05:56He is the President.
06:00I agree
06:02to take immediate action
06:04to add 200 million rupiahs
06:06for this purpose.
06:12I believe this
06:14can be achieved
06:16through the development of skills,
06:19PTPK,
06:21but I give the floor to the chairperson of TIVET,
06:26to decide on the priority,
06:29because we want,
06:31for example,
06:32in the field of EV,
06:34electric vehicle,
06:36cyber security,
06:39artificial intelligence,
06:43advanced materials,
06:46electric technology,
06:49field mechanization,
06:51as I mentioned earlier,
06:53agricultural automation,
06:55and agriculture.
06:57So,
06:59we pass this,
07:01the others are suggested,
07:04additional for OCU,
07:07for the indigenous people,
07:11I believe it is based on the economic framework of Madani,
07:16so, I don't think there is a problem,
07:19and we can pass it,
07:21because the members of the committee
07:23have the full mandate
07:25from the Prime Minister
07:27to implement TIVET,
07:29and he has done it successfully
07:31and proud of us,
07:33therefore, we have to give him the opportunity to continue
07:37with the effort
07:39to intensify TIVET.
07:43So, with that,
07:45I hope
07:47this new spirit exists,
07:49and I hope
07:51as high as possible to the children of TIVET,
07:54and
07:55the trainers,
07:57the lecturers,
07:58the teachers,
08:00so that they can see TIVET
08:02following the new direction,
08:06that this will determine
08:08and Malaysia is elevated
08:10as a great country,
08:12high technology industry,
08:14and AI in the future,
08:16and the children will determine,
08:19because we have the effort,
08:22because as mentioned earlier,
08:24the need of the lecturers today
08:26is 30,000 people,
08:28the need of people who have the expertise in AI
08:32and related technology
08:34is tens of thousands more,
08:36so, the question is
08:38not only to get the job as mentioned earlier,
08:40but the job with a higher income,
08:46if PETRONAS in welding,
08:49for the TIVET course,
08:51it is a minimum of 7,000 ringgit per month,
08:55and if AI,
08:56with the need of time,
08:58a minimum of 4,000,
09:00that is if our training meets the needs of the industry.
09:04Thank you.
09:05May peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
