Perhaps, we can take a feather from the cap of our neighbours, Indonesia, who have made some breakthroughs in enhancing the image and attractiveness of TVET, among others, by increasing the share of vocational education and training with a target ratio between TVET and general high school education of 70% to 30% in 2025. Another step for enhancing the image and attractiveness of TVET is establishing more higher education within vocational fields as has been done in China, or increasing the permeability from TVET to higher education as has been done in South Korea or India. There will be surely a lot of proposals on the table and it is our view that a collective effort from all stakeholders from Government to companies will help establish TVET on a firm Making TVET a logical choice for footing in the not too distant future. students FMM also strongly believes that immersion into TVET “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress should start as early as the secondary education level.

Over the last three decades, automobile factories have become dominated by robots. A typical factory contains hundreds of industrial robots working on fully automated production lines, with one robot for every ten workers. On an automated production line, a vehicle chassis on a conveyor is welded, glued, painted and finally assembled at a sequence of robot stations.

The episode began unravelling after Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s press secretary Lim Swee Kuan ranted on Facebook asking whether RTM was sabotaging the government and remarked that “heads must roll in RTM”. Lim also said that an official letter would be sent to Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo on the matter. This came after RTM did not broadcast live the speeches by Loke and Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun at the event, except for Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s speech. Also present at the event was Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Gobind took up the matter immediately and requested RTM to submit a report and list down its Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in handling requests for the station to cover an event. On Thursday, after gleaning through the report, Gobind cleared RTM of any fault after finding that the broadcaster had adhered to the SOP by broadcasting only the delivery of speeches by the prime minister in any event also attended by ministers and menteris besar.

  • Big Crowd Boosts Hope for Pakatan Takeover in NS Malaysiakini.Com April 24, 2013 by Ahmad Fadli KC
    Big crowd boosts hope for Pakatan takeover in NS MalaysiaKini.com April 24, 2013 By Ahmad Fadli KC Negeri Sembilan DAP chief Anthony Loke says the sheer size of the crowd at the “monster” DAP ceramah in Seremban last Monday is proof not only of Pakatan Raakyat being able to retain Seremban and Rasah, but that it can win over the state on May 5. A crowd of more than 10,000 people braved the light rain that fell during the ceramah held in front of the Seremban market that night. Those gathered had filled up the ceramah site and the crowd spilled out onto the five-foot walkways. “This is a sign of change that is to come in Negri Sembilan. Tonight is a historic night because this is the first time in the last 20 to 30 years that we have had such a monster ceramah in front of the Seremban market,” Loke (right), who is also the Seremban candidate, said at the ceramah. While this could signify that Seremban and Rasah parliamentary constituencies are largely Pakatan Rakyat strongholds, the coalition cannot slacken in its campaign, for the BN appears to be catching up. Observations by Malaysiakini on the third day of the campaign indicated that the Negri Sembilan BN had shifted into higher gear, with an abundance of coalition and campaign banners along the roads from the highway toll plaza to the Seremban city centre. Before this, Pakatan banners and posters were mostly the only campaign materials seen at the main corners of Seremban town. This is perhaps an indication of hostility towards BN’s pick of Negri Sembilan MCA chairperson Dr Yeow Chai Tiam as candidate for Seremban thawing, as well as more concerted efforts to challenge Pakatan’s hold there.

  • Malaysians Celebrate Aidilfitri in Spirit of New Malaysia BERNAMA 15/06/2018
    Malaysians celebrate Aidilfitri in spirit of new Malaysia BERNAMA 15/06/2018 KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Muslims today celebrated Aidilfitri together with their families and relatives as well as non-Muslim neighbours and friends in the spirit of a new Malaysia that has fostered greater understanding and unity among the people. It is the first Aidilfitri celebrated with the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) federal government in power following the stunning victory of the PH coalition in the 14th general election on May 9. Muslims, from the Rulers to the common people, performed Aidilfitri prayers at mosques and surau throughout the country on the first day of Syawal today. They exchanged greetings and sought forgiveness. In keeping with the cost-cutting measures of the Pakatan Harapan government, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V, had decreed that Istana Negara would not hold an Aidilfitri ?open house' and that the money saved should be used to help the less privileged. Sultan Muhammad V, who is the Sultan of Kelantan, performed Aidilfitri prayers at Masjid Muhammadi in KOTA BHARU, Kelantan, along with about 5,000 other worshippers. His Majesty was accompanied by the Regent of Kelantan, Dr Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra, other members of the Kelantan Royal Household and state dignitaries. In KUALA LUMPUR, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad performed Aidilfitri prayers at the National Mosque, along with thousands of other worshippers. Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa and Federal Territories Mufti Datuk Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Akl-Bakri also performed the Aidilfitri prayers at the mosque.

    Act of violence in Chisrtchurch is inhuman - Mahathir Gathering. BERNAMA 17/03/2019 SEREMBAN, March 17 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has described the act of killing Muslims in Chirstchurch, New Zealand two days ago as inhuman. Describing the incident as a sad one that touched the hearts of Muslims, he said that in such a situation, an even worse act that could be committed by terrorists would be Muslims taking revenge. “We need to ask ourselves when we take revenge for the act, certainly we cannot do it to the killers because they have been caught and were facing legal action. “It is highly possible that what will happen is that we will take revenge on people of the same religion, race, history and other aspects that we can link to the terrorists,” he said at the official opening of the 2019 National Level Al-Quran Recital and Memorisation Gathering, here tonight. Also present at the event were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun as well as State Exco members. So far, the New Zealand authorities had confirmed 49 dead in the terrorist attacks at two mosques in Christchurch when Muslims wanted to perform the Friday prayers and more than 20 people were reported injured. Commenting further, Dr Mahathir said the al-Quran gave guidance in prohibiting and making several activities mandatory for its followers which would lead to the development of noble values if they were observed.
