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.

Producing technocrats who are not needed in the local context can indeed be seen as one of the most wasteful uses of resources, both economically and socially

Using borrowed money to create job mismatch and fuel unemployment

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.

Any Sarawakian there?

By getting caught up in conflicts in the Middle East, Malaysia risks diverting its resources and focus from these pressing domestic and regional issues.

Malaysia needs to reform its education system to ensure students are equipped with critical thinking skills and the capacity to compete in the global economy, rather than focusing excessively on religious studies tied to foreign conflicts.

Who is the unscrupulous mastermind who trapped them?

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.

Under current trends of high consumption, unsustainable practices, and climate inaction, estimates suggest that the Earth struggles to support more 8 billion people without significant ecological damage. The climate crisis, ecosystem degradation, and resource limitations make it clear that unless global systems shift toward sustainability, the planet's ability to support human life could severely deteriorate.

Under current trends of high consumption, unsustainable practices, and climate inaction, the Earth is clearly struggling to support the current number of people - without significant ecological damage. The climate crisis, ecosystem degradation, and resource limitations make it clear that unless global systems shift toward sustainability, the planet's ability to support human life could severely deteriorate.

Freshwater is crucial for drinking, agriculture, and sanitation, but its availability is diminishing due to overuse, pollution, and climate change. According to the UN, by 2050, over 5 billion people could face water shortages.

Not more than 5 billion people, with high levels of resource use before significant degradation of natural ecosystems .

Any hurricane, flood, earthquake to wipe out the excess?

All up to God, not mortal to decide

Ah yes, and let's not forget the cherry on top: the massive compensation paid to the families of soldiers killed while doing absolutely nothing in Lebanon. You know, the kind of money that could buy a house—or at least pay off **Ah Long** (loan sharks) debts for us regular folks who’ve never even seen a proper pay raise. But hey, isn’t it heartwarming? While we’re down here kais pagi makan pagi, they get the *ultimate jackpot* if something happens to them during this "dangerous" sit-and-wait operation in Lebanon.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the irony here. Some poor souls in our B40 community can work 50 years, retire with nothing but an aching back and an empty bank account, yet if a soldier happens to die on this high-stakes "patrolling" of his barracks in Lebanon, suddenly the government opens its treasure chest and out pours millions in compensation. Oh, but don’t worry! It’s not like our everyday lives are risky or anything. I mean, crossing a busy road or trying not to get sick because we can't afford medical bills isn't nearly as dangerous as, you know, sitting in Lebanon waiting for a patrol order.

It’s such a relief to know that our country’s priorities are in the right place. While we’re sitting in our kampungs rationing rice and trying to survive another round of price hikes, at least we can sleep soundly knowing that someone, somewhere, far away, is generously compensated if things go south.

Oh, how wonderful! While the rest of us "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang" (scraping by day by day), living paycheck to paycheck and wondering how to stretch our meager Ringgit, the Malaysian peacekeeping battalion (Malbatt) 850-11 in Lebanon is ordered to just sit tight. Imagine that! No more patrols, no more logistics, no more movements. What a dream come true!

I bet they must be having it rough, right? Sitting in a foreign country, all safe and sound, doing absolutely nothing—meanwhile, I’m sitting here at home figuring out how to "patrol" the grocery store for the cheapest eggs. Maybe they can lend me some of their spare time to figure out why my electricity bill keeps going up when I’ve barely turned on the lights.

But don’t worry, we’re all in this together. I'm sure their sacrifices in not patrolling Lebanon are just as difficult as me deciding which meal to skip today to afford tomorrow's commute. Thank goodness we have such "heroes" protecting us while we battle the real war—surviving this daily economic battlefield back home.

Day 5: The Fall of the Giant

The final day sees a coordinated ground assault by Israel and allied special operations forces, targeting key government buildings in Tehran. Iranian leadership attempts to flee, but Israel's Mossad, utilizing its vast intelligence network, ensures key figures are captured or neutralized. The Iranian military, now leaderless and fragmented, surrenders en masse.

In just five days, Iran’s military infrastructure lies in ruins, its leadership captured or fleeing, and its nuclear ambitions shattered. The regime crumbles under internal pressure, and the world watches as Israel delivers a stunningly swift victory. A new era begins as Iran faces reconstruction, while Israel secures its borders and demonstrates a formidable military dominance.

Day 3: Shadows of Sabotage

On the third day, Israeli special forces conduct covert operations deep within Iran’s borders. Units from Sayeret Matkal infiltrate high-value targets, including missile storage facilities, radar installations, and command bunkers. The targeted destruction of critical assets leaves Iran's missile and artillery capabilities severely diminished.

Iran’s attempts to mobilize its army in response are thwarted as Israel’s cyberwarfare division continues to disrupt logistics and transportation networks, creating widespread confusion. The Iranian leadership, sensing the tide turning, attempts to rally its forces but faces internal dissent and mass desertions.

Day 2: The Blitz of the Skies

With air superiority achieved, the IAF escalates their operations. F-35I Adir stealth fighters launch a coordinated wave of strikes against Tehran's key military installations and Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) bases. Iran’s leadership scrambles to organize a response, but Israel's overwhelming use of electronic warfare continues to jam their communications. Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome and David’s Sling systems intercept the few retaliatory missiles Iran manages to launch.

Behind the scenes, Israeli intelligence services activate their network of covert operatives and dissidents inside Iran, sabotaging key infrastructure and further destabilizing the regime's efforts to coordinate a defense. The psychological impact on the Iranian population and military is immediate—rumors of regime collapse spread like wildfire.

Day 1: The Storm Begins

At dawn, a cyberwarfare assault codenamed "Thunderstrike" cripples Iran’s command and control systems. Israel's elite Unit 8200, along with allied cyber forces, unleashes unprecedented attacks on Iran's power grid, communication lines, and military networks, leaving critical systems paralyzed. Iranian air defenses fall into chaos, and the Israeli Air Force (IAF) initiates precision strikes across the country, targeting nuclear facilities, missile sites, and key military installations. Using advanced stealth technology and drones, Israeli jets face little resistance as they surgically dismantle Iran's air defense systems.

This phenomenon reflects an overproduction of graduates in highly skilled sectors, where demand does not match the available workforce. Local graduates, who have been trained in specific fields, now face intense competition in a limited job market. This negatively affects their employability, forcing many to take up lower-skilled jobs or work outside their areas of specialization.

Taxpayers vs. The Ministry of Higher Education—a gripping drama where the government is forced to explain why it treated education like an assembly line, all while the job market sat idly by. Perhaps the settlement could include funding for actual job creation instead of just more empty promises and oversold degrees. Now that would be an education worth investing in!

Zero funding for non-performing MPs.

Shamelessly failing the people- By neglecting job creation in these regions and ignoring the realities of the local job market, the Higher Education Ministry has failed to fulfill its mandate to guide educational institutions and protect students from unrealistic job prospects. The minister should face consequences, as this long-standing issue directly undermines economic development and worsens the regional disparity in employment opportunities.

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.

This imbalance also impacts the unemployment rate and triggers the migration of labor from the East Coast to metropolitan areas like the Klang Valley, where more job opportunities are available. Without better graduate placement plans or more active development of highly skilled sectors in the East Coast, this issue is likely to persist.

The World Bank report on Malaysia clearly highlights the imbalance between the supply of highly skilled graduates and the available job opportunities in the East Coast regions, including Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang, from 2018 to 2023. During this period, fewer than 50,000 highly skilled jobs were offered each year, while the number of graduates entering the job market annually ranged between 200,000 and 350,000.
