Kota Kinabalu: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wants more young people in Sabah to be exposed to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to meet the demand by foreign or domestic investors for skilled workers.

Zahid, who is also the rural and regional development minister, said he was recently offered by China to send 2,000 Malaysian students to join TVET programmes with full scholarships in the country, and wants to ensure that 500 places are filled by Sabah youths.

“This is also to ensure that young people in Sabah are trained and given high-tech jobs,” he said at the Putatan Umno division’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration here tonight .

Also present were Sabah Umno secretary Jafry Ariffin and Putatan Umno division chief Jeffrey Nor Mohamed.

Zahid, who is the Umno president, said Sabah received RM11.34 billion in investments last year which he said must be translated into economic development for the people in the state, especially in terms of more job opportunities.

“Investment is now forthcoming because of Sabah’s huge potential and this means more job opportunities. So, young people must be equipped with TVET knowledge,” he said.
