HUMAN CAPITAL CRUCIAL FOR NATION'S STABILITY
KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 (Bernama) -- Human capital development is crucial towards ensuring the nation's sustainable and equitable growth, especially during this tough times, says Malaysia's Central Bank governor Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
"With new skills and expertise, we believe it will accelerate the
creation of new technologies, innovations and products to impact upon and
influence the nation's development," she said.
Dr Zeti said these challenging times called for not only an ability to be
flexible and responsive but also have the foresight to take pre-emptive measures
and to deal with the high degree of unpredictability.
"And at the same time navigate through these challenging circumstances," she
said when speaking at Bank Negara's Kijang Emas scholarship presentation for
the nation's top achievers of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (Malaysian Education
Certificate/SPM).
Dr Zeti said the central bank was committed to develop human capital for the
country.
Twenty-two students had received the scholarship since 2005.
In addition to the award, the central bank has been sponsoring other
bright students for nearly 25 years.
"More than 1,500 students have been awarded the scholarship and are now
actively contributing in various capacities to nation-building," she said.
The bank is also currently managing about 400 scholars who are studying in
domestic and foreign universities.
The five Kijang Emas scholarship recipients Wednesday are Nik Nur Madihah
Nik Mohd Kamal, who scored 20As in last year's SPM, Muneswaran Ganesan, Alifah
Arina Mohd Khambari, Mohd Zulikhwan Ayub and Ho Ming Chuen.
Nik Nur Madihah will do her A-Levels in physics.
