Additionally, this programme involved not only Malaysians, but international youth as well. This in turn will create an opportunity for the youth inside and outside of Malaysia to view the issue on hand on different perspective.

While YB Soon Lip Chee stated that in order to remain competitive, one must adopt the concept of learning from others across boundaries and differences. He considers this programme to be one of the most effective initiatives for establishing a platform for information and knowledge exchange. He further stated that this programme will enrich our participants’ learning experience by providing them with the opportunity to learn from accomplished individuals and academicians, which is a rare opportunity.

On a related point, PYDC General Manager, Gwee Sai Ling said that ‘indeed, Industry 4.0 has made the youth restless as the modern technology are creating a massive threat to jobs as modern technology are slowly replacing men in the industry. Fourth Industrial Revolution is now changing how we live, work, and communicate. Thus, the youth need to take actions to stay relevant in the job markets and we as state agency and higher learning institutions should take the responsibility in helping to develop them to prepare them for the future and it must be a collective effort aimed at improving the potential employment outcomes for youth.’
