KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia must not be complacent and continue to remain in its comfort zone, especially when it is competing with countries like Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar emphasised the importance of adapting the education system to current demands, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging disciplines by establishing specialised faculties and revising outdated processes. He encouraged industries to adopt TVET programmes, noting that companies like PETRONAS, Proton and Geely can further expand their involvement. Anwar said such collaboration allows industries to define the necessary training and leverage their practical insights over conventional education systems. On another matter, Anwar said the government holds the responsibility of building internal strength and emphasising the growth of local industries.
