00:00So we must ensure that our local contractors, which includes particularly, I must emphasize,
00:06small and medium-sized enterprises are not left behind in this transformation.
00:12They must have the access to the knowledge, training, technology and business opportunities
00:20needed to participate in the new construction ecosystem.
00:25And we must invest in our people, the construction workforce of the future will require new competencies
00:34in digital design, automation, advanced manufacturing, robotics and technology-enabled construction
00:41processes.
00:42And I think this sort of exhibition and meetings somehow give such a focus and exposure that
00:54we share the strength and particularly those within our region in ASEAN and also our international
01:02partners.
01:03And I'm pleased here to see the participation not only for our colleagues in ASEAN and the
01:10region, but also international partners as far as the Gulf states.
01:16So ladies and gentlemen, our universities, training institutions, industry players and government
01:22agencies must work together and prepare our workforce for these changing demands.
01:29Ultimately, the success of this transformation should be measured only by the number of technologies
01:36introduced or projects completed.
01:39It must also be measured by the capabilities we develop, the opportunities we create for local
01:46businesses, the quality of homes and infrastructure we deliver, and the value we contribute to
01:56the Malaysian economy.
01:59Witnessed by Yama Mahurma, the country, Prime Minister, and our other distinguished guests.
02:06Congratulations to CIDB IBS and PCA Group.
02:17So let's move on.
