KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 — The younger generation needs to be encouraged to venture into technical fields, especially engineering which is often associated with the term \u2018dirty, difficult dan dangerous\u2019 or 3D, as these fields have brighter job market potential with higher returns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister\u00a0Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin\u00a0said graduates of fields that often raise negative perceptions, whether directly or otherwise, are the ones expected to be much sought after in future\u00a0job markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuture trends indicate that technology-related fields will become highly sought professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe use of the latest technologies will turn this 3D image into one that is prestigious because the technical profession requires a deep degree of knowledge and expertise,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister said this in a special message in conjunction with the National Technical Profession Day (HPTN) 2020 which was broadcast via a video recording through Radio Televisyen Malaysia\u2019s Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HPTN is celebrated on the first Saturday every December as a sign of the country’s highest appreciation and recognition for technical professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
