GERMAN TECHNOLOGY PARK MELAKA OFFERS 10,000 JOB OPPORTUNITIES

“I am highly confident that GTP will help elevate the high-impact industrial sector in the State of Melaka, while also improving the quality of Melaka’s skilled workforce through technology transfer.
“To support this, the government will fully leverage Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) as a technology-based educational institution to produce skilled local workers,” he said.
He made these remarks during the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MCORP and MIDA, along with eight landowners for the development of GTP, held at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur today.
Also present were the German Ambassador to Malaysia, Dr. Peter Blomeyer; State Secretary Datuk Wira Zaidi Johari; Deputy Minister of Defence Adly Zahari; Deputy State EXCO for Investment, Industry, and TVET Development Datuk Khaidhirah Abu Zahar; other EXCO and Deputy EXCO members, department heads, and other dignitaries.

This new industrial area will incorporate elements of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and the Green Building Index (GBI), and is expected to be completed and open for sale in 2026.

PKNM IS KNOWN AS MCORP
SERI NEGERI, 26 July – The Melaka State Legislative Assembly (DUN) today approved the Melaka State Development Corporation (Amendment) Enactment Bill 2022.
Earlier, the Bill, tabled by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Utama Sulaiman Md Ali, was debated by four Members of the State Legislative Assembly (ADUN).
It was passed with 19 ADUNs voting in favour, seven opposing, and two absent.
In his presentation, Sulaiman stated that eight clauses of the enactment were proposed for amendment.
This includes changing the name “Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Melaka” (PKNM) to “Perbadanan Melaka” (Melaka Corporation), with the commercial name “MCORP”.
Additionally, terms such as “Governor” and “Yang di-Pertua Negeri” in meetings were amended to “State Authority”, and “General Manager” was changed to “Chief Executive Officer”.

“I believe that the development projects to be carried out by PKNM will cover all areas across the state of Melaka.
