Budget 2026 debate: Wan Rizal on supporting workers through transitions in age of AI
Be it adapting to new technologies or confronting AI-driven transformation, transitions affect everyone, said MP Wan Rizal in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25). Transition programmes should not only provide technical certification but also help individuals rebuild momentum and self-belief, he said. He called for the government to strengthen clarity for workers so that they see real pathways forward, “deepen early trusted engagement so no one feels blindsided by change”, and intentionally build confidence so workers are equipped not only with skills, but also with the self-assurance and resilience to move forward.
