We have entered GIG economy! Today i didn't use a single cash money when i was out! Everything paid using debit card or through emoney! Even the regular workshop that i send my car to, insist i pay through bank transfer! Reason, it's risky for the workshop boss to go out and bank in customers cash payment! Beside, it save him tons of time!
We also entered the convenient of ordering food and delivered to out doorstep!
Again, you can order food and pay online! Wait for a while, walla, food come to you!
Because of this, ordering food has become new normal! Food delivery has become a new normal! And now, food delivery is no longer a part time job for some! It has become permanent job!
During he 2 years lockdown, many food rider were earning better than those working in office! Some reportedly earned up to 7k! In fact those working in KL regularly hitting that figure even today!

That's why over 70% SPM leavers no longer interested in pursuing degree! I mean, why waste 3 to 4 years studying and suffer study loan only to suffer of frustration and disappointment, going from one interview to another, and only to land a job that pays you no different from SPM holders! Sad life right!
While those engage in GIG jobs are earning much much more!

JQuestion! Finding good mechanic is hard! 90% out there are junk! Many became mechanics from hands on training! Zero skill based training! That's why it's important to give standard recognition for mechanics! So that when you send you car to workshop, you can ask them to show their certification and pay them what they deserrve!
I have high respect for mechanics, especially those who genuinely good at what they do! That's why our society must change their perception on this professional job! Mechanics are same level of those of accountants, general doctors and so forth!

That's why you keep hearing customers complaint sending their cars to workshop only to get it repaired badly! Because those workshop have low level skilled mechanics! They are not well trained!

Is a fact our university graduate even fresh engineers are poorly paid.

The question is why Malaysia cannot pay like Singapore pay their university graduate?

In Malaysia employees are not appreciated and rewarded with high pay even if you are a professional and well trained. Large portion of the company's profits go to the bosses. This is part of the Malaysian culture maybe.

Many foreigners now doing repairing job in difft industry like car , construction, computer, steel, furniture, home appliances… malaysian youth only want to be boss, never know that they have to dirty thier hand before becoming a real boss. Skill job is more expensive these day. Youth now are more interested in gaming, social media, GIG industry.
