MUAR: Recognising Muar’s role as Malaysia’s top furniture producer, Simpang Jeram by-election candidate from Pakatan Harapan (PH) Nazri Abdul Rahman plans to boost the promotion and development of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme among local youths.
With the ongoing development of the Muar Furniture Park (MFP) spanning some 400 hectares in Bakri, Muar, he sees it as an opportunity to provide jobs for local youths, including Simpang Jeram.
He is committed to ensuring that youths who have completed their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and have no interest in pursuing academic studies consider enrolling in TVET programmes.
