Perodua contribute Myvis to Fire Dept, higher-learning institutionsIN one of its biggest-scale vehicle donations yet, Perodua contributed 50 Myvis to the Perak Fire and Rescue Department as well as 25 higher-learning institutions (HLI) all over the country, to aid them in their research and training.

“We are donating seven current-generation Myvis and 43 previous-generation Myvis to these organisations in the hope that they will be useful in their research, training and education,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.

He was speaking at a symbolic handover ceremony held at Perodua’s Sungai Choh headquarters on Friday.

The said 25 HLIs comprise universities as well as vocational, technical, industrial training and youth skills institutes.

“As a People First company, Perodua has always believed in empowering youth through education, as they are Malaysia’s future leaders and future drivers of the local automotive industry.

“Some of our many educational initiatives include the Perodua Eco Challenge and the Perodua Youth Training Programme, which is our longest-running Corporate Responsibility programme, having produced over 630 graduates since 1999,” said Aminar.

This year, Perodua graduated 141 candidates that it had trained in collaboration with the Human Resources Ministry’s Department of Skills Development (JPK) towards receiving Malaysian Skills Certification (SKM) for technical and vocational competence.

Over 70% of them will take on roles at Perodua service and Body & Paint centres across the nation.

“With over a million units sold since its 2005 birth, the Myvi has been Malaysia’s most popular vehicle for the past 13 years. It is therefore the perfect vehicle for local research and training as it is the most accurate representation of a vehicle on Malaysian roads,” Aminar added.

IPOH, July 26 — The Human Resources Ministry is considering collaborating with foreign institutes of higher learning on Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET), said an aide to the minister.

Cheong Chee Khin, political secretary to Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran, said this would help attract more people to opt for vocational training

“TVET education has been given less attention in Malaysia than mainstream academic education. Countries like Germany and Singapore start TVET as early as lower secondary school so eventually they can converge into tertiary education,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters here today at the Industrial Training Institute (ILP) during which he called for more people to sign up for the institute’s courses.

“There will be daily interviews from now until July 31 to get qualified students to sign up for the courses,” he said.

Ipoh ILP director Jamil Yahya, who was also present, said the courses are open to those between 18 and 35 years of age.

“If you are recently retrenched, take the opportunity to re-skill yourself,” he said.

To qualify for consideration, Jamil said applicants need only to have passed Bahasa Melayu, Mathematics, History and one additional SPM-level subject.

“On top of that, we will pay a RM100 monthly allowance to successful applicants,” he said, adding that food and lodging are provided for successful students.

“Other than the RM750 for the uniform, students need not pay a single cent to study,” he said, adding that students who are unable to pay for the uniform upon registration are allowed to pay by instalments.

He said there are two intakes annually: January and July.

“There are eight courses to choose from,” he said, adding that all the institute’s graduates are gainfully employed.

“We provide training that is compatible for the industry,” he said.
