Malaysia, a Regional Leader in Workforce Transformation — HRD Corp

Malaysia is being held up as a regional leader in workforce transformation, with HRD Corp's model now being replicated across Southeast Asia — from Indonesia to Cambodia and Timor-Leste (Free Malaysia Today, 19 Oct 2025).

The numbers behind the leadership

• RM6.17 billion collected over three years, with 94% directed to training
• Around 4 million workers trained
• 3,000+ delegates at the National Human Capital Conference & Exhibition 2025

Human Resources Minister Steven Sim put the AI question plainly: "AI may change jobs, but it cannot replace what is uniquely human: our wit, our intelligence, and our ability to think critically."
