Sim said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim would inaugurate the framework, which would provide guidelines for his ministry and the government as a whole in implementing Malaysia’s human capital development programmes.

“The inaugural National Human Resources Policy Framework will address gaps and discrepancies in existing policy documents.

“For instance, we are looking into the ageing population agenda, advancements in artificial intelligence, the green economy, and women’s involvement in the workforce,” he told reporters after the Labour Day event pre-launch here.

This year’s Labour Day celebration will witness the participation of over 3,000 workers from unions, statutory bodies, the public, and private sector, with the prime minister to present several awards to acknowledge significant contributions to national development.
