KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today proposed for private companies to take over technical and vocational education and training programmes.
“For example in Pengerang, we will ask for the programmes to be taken over by Petronas to train and manage and use expertise to meet the needs of Petronas. We have DRB-Hicom which is an automotive-related sector, which they can take over. He said the Cabinet has a committee led by deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi which will identify additional steps and more private companies to help with this initiative.
