Legal Precedents for Educational Rights: Globally, several cases have set precedents where governments were held accountable for educational failures. For example, in the U.S., the case of Brown v.

Economic and Psychological Damages: Graduates would argue that the lack of preparation has led to economic damages, such as limited career opportunities, higher unemployment, and lower income. In some cases, the psychological toll of failing in a hyper-competitive, tech-driven world could also form part of the claim, as emotional distress and mental health challenges stemming from inadequate preparation for the modern world are recognized in legal proceedings.

There has been a notable rise in the number of Malaysians, especially those under the age of 30, struggling with financial debt. In fact, approximately 53,000 young adults in Malaysia collectively owe RM1.9 billion due to factors such as personal loans, vehicle purchases, and business loans. Youths aged 35 to 44 make up the largest group of bankrupt individuals​.

While Malaysia has made strides in reducing the number of bankruptcies since 2018, primarily through debt advisory agencies like AKPK, personal loans continue to be the leading cause of bankruptcy cases. Nearly 50% of all bankruptcy cases are tied to personal loans, with other major contributors including business and vehicle loans
