KUALA LUMPUR: Industry players are urged to assist the government in providing education to the community in information communication technology (ICT) in facing the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0).
Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo said on Dec 10 that such efforts would ensure that every strata of society, especially those in the interior regions and the senior citizens, are not left out of the rapid development in world technology.
“We want all sectors of the industry to participate in our initiatives to educate the public on how they can use the IR4.0 infrastructure for their benefit,” he said after witnessing the signing of the memorandum of understanding MoA) between Knowledgecom and HLX for the development and implementation of IR 4.0 here on Dec 10.
On the agreement between the two companies, Gobind said the effort could become an example for more groups to share expertise to develop IR 4.0.
“This is an example how industries use the ability of their workers to assist other industries and for us to re-skill them by sharing the other skills that they have for better benefits,” he added. – Bernama
