This move will serve as inspiration and motivation for the new generation of FELDA to continue to innovate and achieve world class success after they graduate and become the force to achieve FELDA’s aspiration to propel itself in the Fortune 500 league,” he explained.
At the same time, Datuk Parmjit Singh thanked FELDA, FGV, and Yayasan FELDA for their confidence and foresight in establishing collaboration in education and digital technology.
“We look forward to the opportunity of transforming their bright future, highly motivated young students selected to join this programme, into highly competent, employable and future-proof graduates in their chosen technology specialization.
