No turning back to agro-base economy: Environmental Pollution continuously relevance
Malaysia should not go back to an agriculture-based economy because the country would not be able to achieve the economic growth that the Government desires and overcome unemployment, said former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
We can still give attention to agriculture because it is making advances in terms of technology and we cannot neglect that. But to depend entirely on agriculture will not be productive.
He said that even with modern agriculture, the Government would still not be able to create enough jobs for the people.
That is why we have switched to industrial-based economy but to do that, we must equip our people with necessary knowledge and skills.
