| ‘The real world can be a cruel place if the graduates are not equipped with the necessary ‘tools’.’What a surprise. I was shocked. Only 60 percent of graduates unemployed? I would have thought it would be more like 90 percent.
And not to forget, how many of the 40 percent were given civil service jobs in our already bloated civil service.You can open more so-called universities even if the teaching staff and quality is abysmal, you can pander to religious and race extremists, and add more religious studies and courses in the curriculum.
Universities must study market demands for jobs that graduates will be able to land after their graduation. In Singapore, the late prime minister Lee Kuan Yew was pragmatic when he made English as the medium of instruction in schools; not Mandarin, even though the Chinese make up 75 percent of the total population of the republic.
I would like to suggest to the students in schools who are not academically inclined to seriously consider taking up vocational and technical subjects., tailoring , hair-dressing and beautician .I also urge parents of the students and graduates to be more open-minded and realise that such jobs should not be looked down upon.
As long as these policies remain unchanged, the problem shall remain as we can’t continue to slot these unemployable graduates into the already bloated civil service.

Do you really think Mahathir will change? Not a chance. Malaysia has gone to the dogs of racism again. So true. In fact this has motivated me to coin a new terminology, maruah-baruah jokers. A normal statement by bigots like you! You call us many awful names, redicule our culture and religion. Telling us that we need crutches to walk. So what if we need crutches? It's our right! We want new crutches now. One that is stronger. We'll walk better.

If UM truly values freedom of speech, retract police report against me - Yan KeVC Abdul Rahim Hashim should stop hiding behind supporters and explain racial comments instead, says graduate. I always believe that freedom of speech does not include freedom to insult, freedom to assault, nor freedom to cause displeasure / disharmony to others. It does not. That’s why your degree is sub standard. Lucky u have independent thought in spite of them teaching u not to think. Its not a matter of freedom of speech, its about ethics, its about moral, its about discipline, its about behaviour and its about respecting the ceremonies. You can always protest elsewhere, no-one cares! Becoming a HERO can be many ways, and you choose the stupid way. Period
