HULU SELANGOR, April 30 — The state government is looking to meet technology giant Apple Inc in the United States (US), during a series of visits next month, said Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said the meeting is a follow-up to previous collaborations carried out via the Selangor State Technical Skills Development Center (STDC).
“I will try to meet Apple. Coincidentally, we have opened an Apple Center of Excellence at STDC. It is the only training centre for the Swift programming language in Southeast Asia.
"I believe close cooperation can be further strengthened towards producing more quality human resources for our state and the nation, in both the present and the future," Amirudin said.
