I visited a promotional booth belonged to DSD (Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran) at Suria Sabah not too long ago and get myself a copy of the leaflets. Few days ago I tried to surf the given website and it apparently was not working. In particular, pages on National Dual Training System (NDTS) had bad links.
This entry is therefore a reference for myself and perhaps folks who would want to know in brief what and how this program can benefit them.
What is NDTS?
(Note: For now, you will not find this in their website, or you will be redirected to other page)
National Dual Training System (NDTS) is a dual training apprenticeship system comprising of 70-80% training at the company and 20-30% at the training center. It is introduced to produce workers based on industry demand, thus reducing the problem of mismatch.
NDTS uses self-reliant learning and action-oriented approach to develop apprentices with knowledge-worker occupational competence comprising of technical competence, social and human competences, and learning and methodological competences.
A contract is signed between the conpany and the apprentices prior to the training. Apprentices are given certain amount of allowance throughout the trainnig by the company and are obliged to work with the company upon completion if they are offered employment.
Practical or hands-on skills training is conducted in the workplaces by selected coaches of the company, whilst the theoretical class and basic skills training in the training centre is undertaken by the centre's instructors.
How is NDTS different from other Trainings?
The requirement for coaches and trainers to infuse or integrate human and social skills as well as for the apprentices to learn on-the-job to get the most of the technical contents of the course/training.
Targeted Group

MCA (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK, MCA CHAIRMAN GOMBAK) INSULTED and ANTI BUDDHIST MONKS
Dear Devotees into the Dhamma,
I sincerely shall use the language to make publicly the bitter experience that actually has happened in the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.
I am not satisfied with the Gombak MCA Division chairman (Yip Kum Fook) and the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION chairman (Yip Kum Fook) because he used vicious and arrogant means in bringing in a group of individuals from other places to provoke and trample the sacred ground and without any sound reason called in the police to forcefully detain the monk so as to humiliate worshippers of Buddhism.
I strongly would like to ask here that what great sin and crimes had he committed to the extent of you Yip Kum Fook lawyer by means or by crooks called in the police to detain a monk like him?
I came from Penang, I was a newcomer and I temporarily put up at the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION to study and learn to practice Buddhism. While at the temple, I could not bear with the way Yip Kum Fook lawyer behaved, your uncourteous, arrogant and unexcelled attitude in treating the Temple abbot.
Because I said a few words about your behavior to you Yip Kum Fook, you resorted to such dirty means to hurt a monk. It is indeed unacceptable and cast a very bad example.
For a school principal, if his and her student has committed an offence, the police must as a matter of courtesy meet up with the principal, try to understand the actual situation, before the police take any actions. This is the usual practice.
But it is sorry to say, that Yip kum Fook lawyer who himself is a lawyer chose to have done. Otherwise, he did not act in accordance with the teaching of Buddhism and looked down on the spirit of Buddhism for the sole purpose of showing off that he is the powerful chairman of MCA Gombak Division and the chairman of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He demanded the police to detain the monk so as to realize his motive.
It is very fortunate that due to the fact that religion itself is a sensitive matter, even the Malay policemen understood and respected the religion, culture and customs of other communities, so they did not rush into taking any actions. Otherwise, the consequences would be catastrophic.
I understand why Yip Kum Fook lawyer was furious and flared up. The main reason is as follows. The abbot of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He has been the abbot for 20 years. He was the architect and played the pivotal in raising fund the public to build up the Temple.
Continued next………
The abbot was alarmed to find out that a new person like him Yip Kum Fook lawyer; the chairman of MCA Gombak Division did not walk the talks. His talks were beautiful decorated with humanity, virtue and morality.
But in practice, he always marginalized and pushed out those who did see eye to eye with him. The Temple committees were instead made up mostly of his relatives. Moreover, the Temple fund was not managed in a transparent manner. Ultimately, his true motive was to turn the pure and sacred ground into a political stepping stone and political ground and from a place of worship into a personal property.
The abbot was well aware of what had taken placed, but in order to look preserve the whole wellness of the temple, he gave him Yip Kum Fook lawyer well-intentioned advices. But such an advice was not well received, it made Yip Kum Fook lawyer unhappy, restless and ran wild. Instead of heeding the advice, he made use of every opportunity to create problem and to persecute the abbot and monks so that they could no longer stay and left the temple.
Yip Kum Fook lawyer and the chairman of MCA Gombak Division whose villain’s design is obvious and whose style is hypocritical is known by everyone… your sweet words can deceive and mislead some people some of the time, but you cannot do it all the time. The karma or preordained fate of Buddhism will definitely befall.
As my last word, I would like to take this opportunity to bless him, may Yip Kum Fook lawyer wake up to reality, repent before it is too late. Do whatever is good, shed the evil.
Your Dhamma,
Ven. Phra Piya Dhamma
Penang, Malaysia.
