HUMAN CAPITAL VITAL TO ARMED FORCES DEVELOPMENT - MINISTER
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian armed forces will focus on
developing the capacity of its human capital apart from acquiring sophisticated
and high technology assets, Defence Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He told the Lower House of Parliament Monday that human capital development was
important to the armed forces, saying it would ensure personnel were competent
in handling modern weapons and other defence assets.
"The focus in human capital development is to ensure personnel are
action-oriented, knowledgeable, skillful and having leadership qualities apart from
cultivating resilience and high fighting spirit.
"Special programmes have been implemented to improve their knowledge," he said
in reply to an MP who wanted to know the initiatives taken by the government to
strengthen the armed forces.
The minister said the country's defence industry should also be strengthened so that it could become self-reliant without having to depend too much on the foreign suppliers.
