Amirudin Shari to defend PKR vice-president post
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has confirmed his intention to defend his vice-president's post in the upcoming PKR party election for 2025-2028.
He said his intention was in line with the principle of strengthening the party as the dominant political party, a force for reformation and the core of the unity government, and noted that the goal of the election was to form a team capable of implementing reforms, serve and work to support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's second term as prime minister.
"With the campaign theme of 'Reformasi Cita Bangsa' (Reform for the Nation's Aspiration), I bring ideas aligned with deputy president candidate Nurul Izzah Anwar's theme of ''Bersama Membina Parti Kita' (Together We Build Our Party).
"We wish to strengthen party machinery and foster close ties among members to strengthen relations with unity government component parties to win the 16th general election," he said in a Facebook post today.
He added that he would present the Reformasi Cita Bangsa idea to all party members during the campaigning period and urged all members for their support.
As of 10am today, 11 leaders have announced their intention to contest the four PKR vice-president posts during the election on May 21, including the three incumbents, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad; Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang and Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. — BERNAMA

Govt Mulls Setting Up TVET Commission
The government is actively considering the establishment of a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Commission to support the sector's rapid development and reforms. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the matter will be assessed promptly given the surge in student enrolment and the expanding range of training programmes. 'I appreciate the role of the TVET Council, but as those closely monitoring the sector's development, we must consider proposals such as establishing a dedicated commission for TVET, and we will assess this as swiftly as possible in response to the sector's evolving needs,' he said. Anwar added that he and the Ministry of Finance will evaluate the adequacy of current facilities and explore better synergy among government-linked companies, private players, and existing TVET institutions. The Prime Minister also stressed the need for improved starting salaries for TVET graduates, reflecting their strong employability rate. 'Previously, we set the minimum wage at RM1,700. But if a group like TVET graduates achieves up to 98 per cent employability, RM1,700 is not enough. For TVET graduates, if possible, we want to raise the starting salary to as much as RM3,000,' he said. To support the ongoing development of the sector, Anwar announced an additional RM40 million allocation for the National TVET Council, along with RM10 million specifically for Melaka to strengthen TVET entrepreneurship initiatives. The announcement was made during the launch of National TVET Day 2025 at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh. Present at the event were Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and several other federal and state leaders. Related
