Selain modal dan teknologi, pelabur asing perlu perkasa pekerja tempatan
Timbalan Perdana Menteri Fadillah Yusof berkata pemindahan teknologi, pembangunan pembekal tempatan dan latihan tenaga kerja berkemahiran perlu menjadi antara keutamaan pelabur asing.
Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof emphasizes that foreign investors should play a larger role in developing local companies and workforce, beyond just bringing in capital and technology. This includes technology transfer, local trainer development, and skill training, which are crucial to ensure long-term benefits of investment.
He hopes to see more companies and foreign investors in Malaysia, not only looking for local partners but also involving the entire value chain, from training to other aspects, and prioritizing locals. Training local workforce is equally important so that we can implement technology transfer and leave something lasting in the country, according to him.
Long-term cooperation with multinational companies can bring more significant benefits if combined with operational experience sharing, expertise, and local company capacity development, he added. Minister of Energy Transformation and Water emphasized that increasing local capacity not only strengthens the national energy industry but also allows Malaysia to play a bigger role in enhancing regional energy security.
The center of training established through the CGN and Edra Power Holdings initiative has the potential to become a platform for producing more experts in the field of power generation technology, especially gas turbine technology. This is crucial for training Malaysian workforce not only to become skilled workers but ultimately to increase income. They also agreed to open up this opportunity not only to Melaka but to the whole of Malaysia.
