Description
INTRODUCTION Malaysia gained its independence in 1957 and during this period, the economic activities of the country depended on commodities such as rubber and tin in which it soared the economic growth of the country. Being a country having various races and ethnic groups and most of the native bumiputra living below poverty triggered a racial antagonism in 1969. The Government then structured a policy to reduce and eradicate poverty and to reduce social disparities in which the plan covered a span of twenty years beginning from 1970 to 1990. And during this period, the economic of the country showed a steady growth from being an agriculture-based economy in 1970s to industrial-based economy in 1980s. With the economic activity influenced by industrialisation, the Government realised that human resources in the industrial sector are the major driving factor for the country's social and economic growth. Hence, the Government began planning a strategy to develop human resources to support the country's socio-economic activities. Thus this article aims to examine and highlight Malaysia's HRD plans, policies and strategies in her move to develop human resources to sustain economic growth and compete in the global market. The country's development plans and policies as well as the economic development which lead towards the country's plans for a knowledge-based economy with knowledge-based workforce were studied and reported.
