KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — The government and industry players in the semiconductor sectors must work closely in order to ensure the country can continue to produce the best talents in the industry in the future.
“This is an important part of the puzzle of restructuring of our economy. Any economy where growth is consistent and sustained needs pronounced leaders who are ready to innovate at the cutting edge of technology. This is important if we were to pivot and focus well in the next value chain of the industry,” he said at the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association’s Merdeka Celebration 2023, here, today.
“While I may not spend too much time in the overall industry per se, one of my important focus areas is to make sure that we cultivate and groom future talents for your industry because that is key to the overall design to restructure the economy to its higher complexity,” he said.
