Gaji Tinggi Yang Tak halal: A mismatch between educational preparation and the demands of the modern economy leads to skewed expectations regarding basic pay. Young people may expect wages disproportionate to their skills or job role due to a sense of entitlement or lack of understanding of the market economy. This entitlement feeds into broader societal dissatisfaction and often leads to disillusionment when gig economy jobs do not meet these expectations.

The state governments of Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang, as well as the Higher Education Minister, should be held accountable for this imbalance. The overproduction of graduates relative to the availability of skilled jobs points to a failure to control intake quotas, poor workforce planning, and misalignment of educational output with regional job markets. The absence of adequate job matching, community communication, and budget planning exacerbates unemployment and forced migration. This lack of foresight and leadership has led to wasted potential and must result in accountability, including the sacking of responsible officials.

The World Bank report on Malaysia paints a truly inspiring picture of government efficiency in the East Coast—Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang. Over five glorious years from 2018 to 2023, fewer than 50,000 highly skilled jobs were created annually. Yet, with remarkable foresight, the Ministry of Higher Education churned out between 200,000 to 350,000 graduates each year, competing fiercely for these jobs. Clearly, we are witnessing the art of overproduction perfected.

Compromising Delayed Entrepreneurial Potential: University graduates spend years acquiring academic credentials, often with the assumption that a degree leads to guaranteed employment. However, this extended academic path can delay the development of entrepreneurial instincts. In many cases, individuals with a natural inclination for business or innovation could have started their ventures earlier, accumulating real-world experience instead of spending additional years in a classroom for a degree that may not translate into practical economic value.

Universities often churn out graduates in fields that are oversaturated or not aligned with local market demands. This creates an excess of degree holders competing for a limited number of jobs in industries that may not require their specific skills. Meanwhile, entrepreneurship can directly address market gaps, providing solutions that are more relevant to the local economy. By focusing too heavily on producing graduates for traditional roles, localities miss out on potential businesses that could have been started earlier.

Just as producing unneeded technocrats wastes resources, so does the push for university degrees in fields where there are limited job opportunities. The time and money spent on education could have been redirected into building businesses that create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation. By steering capable individuals into academic paths instead of encouraging early entrepreneurship, we lose the economic contributions they could have made as business owners.

Entrepreneurs are often better positioned to solve local problems and meet local needs than university graduates pursuing roles in industries unrelated to their communities. They have the agility to address market gaps, provide employment, and contribute to the economic ecosystem in ways that large, traditional sectors might not. Earlier entrepreneurship could help boost local economic growth far more effectively than a surplus of degree holders with limited employment prospects.

Many university graduates find themselves overqualified for the jobs available in their local markets, leading to underemployment. These graduates, had they pursued entrepreneurship earlier, might have been able to apply their skills and talents in more impactful ways. They could have started ventures that align with their passions and abilities, rather than waiting for opportunities in a saturated job market. This underutilization represents a major waste of human capital.

Why many in the east coast should stop further study after SPM - University education is expensive, and many graduates leave with significant debt. If entrepreneurship had been encouraged earlier, individuals could have invested time, effort, and money directly into building a business rather than incurring debt for a degree that may not yield a good return on investment. Graduates might then find themselves in a situation where they are burdened by student loans while trying to navigate a tough job market, further stifling their entrepreneurial aspirations.

Traditional education often instills a mindset of finding stable employment rather than taking the risks associated with starting a business. By encouraging university as the default option, we may discourage individuals from pursuing more innovative or entrepreneurial paths, which can limit creativity and problem-solving at the local level. Encouraging entrepreneurship earlier in life would allow for more experimentation and a higher chance of creating successful ventures tailored to local needs.

Pushing individuals into university education without regard for local demand or entrepreneurial potential can lead to a mismatch between skills and job availability, wasted resources, and delayed economic contributions. By encouraging capable individuals to explore entrepreneurship earlier, they could have a more immediate and direct impact on the local economy, fostering innovation, job creation, and sustainable growth.

The expensive production of graduates without an appropriate demand in the locality not only wastes economic resources but also deprives the region of opportunities to build a workforce that meets its real needs. A balance between technical specialization and practical, localized skills is crucial for sustainable development. Anything else risks inefficiently spending money, time, and effort on education that provides little return for the local economy.

Cultural Disconnection: Technocrats, especially those trained in fields removed from local realities, might find themselves disconnected from the values, needs, and aspirations of their communities. Their expertise may push for solutions or innovations that, while technically advanced, fail to resonate with the social and cultural fabric of the locality. This can further alienate communities from their governance or development processes.

Local Development Neglected: Technocrats are often trained in fields suited for advanced economies or highly industrialized regions. In many cases, these skill sets are not applicable in states where the economy relies more on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, or traditional industries. By overproducing technocrats, states may neglect investing in more locally relevant initiatives, such as rural development, sustainable agriculture, or small business support, which would have a far greater impact on the community’s economic growth.

Opportunity Cost: Focusing on producing graduates from middle east universities at the expense of more practical or needed skill sets diverts attention from developing a balanced workforce. Localities might be in dire need of tradespeople, healthcare workers, teachers, or other professions that directly impact the well-being and development of the community. Ignoring these real needs for high-level specialization creates gaps in essential services.

Producing university graduates without demand leads to a saturated job market, where highly skilled individuals are forced to accept positions beneath their qualifications or remain unemployed. This mismatch between education and employment is a waste of human potential and contributes to social dissatisfaction and wasted economic output.

Bangau oh bangau....east coast oh east coast- If local industries or sectors do not require highly specialized skills, technocrats often migrate elsewhere in search of opportunities. This results in a "brain drain," where the investment in their education benefits other regions or countries, leaving the local economy without the necessary talent to address its actual challenges.

Training technocrats is expensive, requiring substantial investment in education, infrastructure, and skill development. If these highly skilled professionals are not aligned with the actual needs of the state or locality, it results in a misallocation of public funds, which could have been better spent on addressing immediate societal needs, such as flood prevention, clean water supply, healthcare, public infrastructure, or improving basic education.

Cursed generation after generation to pay back - In overseas gomen spend all the Rakyats' money. Keep borrowing till bertrillion-trillion hutang keliling pinggang. Rakyat kais pagi makan pagi. The metaphor "bagai kera di hutan diberi susu, anak di rumah mati kelaparan" suggests a situation where outsiders are prioritized while local citizens suffer, likening it to feeding monkeys in the forest while one's own children starve at home. This perspective criticizes Malaysian politicians for extending medical treatment and hospitality to Palestinians, potentially neglecting pressing local needs.

To avoid ecological collapse and sustain the global population, a significant shift toward sustainability is required. This includes moving toward renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and a more equitable distribution of resources. Without these changes, Earth’s capacity to support even 8 billion people will continue to diminish, leading to irreversible environmental damage and human suffering.
Ultimately, unless the global community addresses these unsustainable trends with urgency, the planet's ability to support human life will severely deteriorate, leaving future generations to face the consequences.

If these unsustainable practices continue, the Earth’s ecosystems may decompensate—reaching tipping points where ecosystems can no longer function to support life as we know it. This decompensation would result in:
Mass extinctions: Widespread species loss would further destabilize ecosystems.
Resource shortages: As water and fertile land become scarcer, food production could collapse, leading to widespread hunger and conflict.
Climate migration: Rising sea levels and extreme weather would force millions to migrate from uninhabitable areas, exacerbating global political and economic instability.

Agriculture is one of the major drivers of environmental degradation. The world's food systems consume around 70% of global freshwater resources and contribute to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) has warned that food production must increase by 70% by 2050 to meet the needs of a growing population.
However, current agricultural practices are unsustainable. Intensive farming depletes soil fertility, leading to increased reliance on chemical fertilizers, which in turn pollute water bodies and contribute to climate change. If these practices continue, feeding more than 8 billion people sustainably may be impossible without serious ecological damage.

The climate crisis is perhaps the most pressing and far-reaching consequence of unsustainable practices. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), without drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures are likely to rise by more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. This would lead to severe disruptions, including more frequent extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and the loss of agricultural productivity in key regions.
As the climate warms, desertification and water scarcity are becoming more severe. The United Nations has warned that by 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, further threatening food security. Even now, over 2 billion people experience water stress, according to the World Health Organization. Climate change, through rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, is expected to exacerbate these issues, pushing the planet beyond its limits.

Ecosystem degradation—through deforestation, pollution, and habitat destruction—further undermines the planet's ability to support human life. The WWF Living Planet Report 2020 highlighted that biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate, with a 68% average reduction in population sizes of vertebrate species since 1970. This loss of biodiversity weakens ecosystems, reducing their resilience to environmental changes and threatening the services they provide, such as clean air, water filtration, and pollination.
The destruction of natural habitats also increases the risk of zoonotic diseases—diseases that transfer from animals to humans—such as COVID-19, which has been linked to wildlife markets. This underscores how ecosystem degradation not only threatens the environment but also human health.

The global population, currently around 8 billion, is consuming resources at an unprecedented rate. According to Global Footprint Network, humanity is already consuming 1.7 Earths' worth of resources each year. This overconsumption depletes natural resources faster than ecosystems can regenerate them, leading to deforestation, water scarcity, soil degradation, and overfishing. For example, agricultural expansion to meet the demands of a growing population contributes to the destruction of biodiversity-rich areas like the Amazon rainforest, which is often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" due to its role in carbon sequestration.

Why Malaysia Should Avoid Entanglement in the Middle East’s Centuries-Old Conflicts

Compromising Domestic Stability and Putting Unity at Risk: Malaysia’s domestic landscape is characterized by a delicate balance between its ethnically and religiously diverse populations—Malay Muslims, Chinese Buddhists, Indian Hindus, and others. Focusing too much on Middle Eastern issues, especially ones framed as Muslim versus non-Muslim conflicts, could risk polarizing Malaysian society. Malaysian unity relies on careful inter-religious and inter-ethnic harmony. Injecting external conflicts, which often emphasize religious divisions, may encourage radicalization or deepen internal rifts.
