My dad & I had a long discussion and came to a dead line.  My brother is staying in my apt, in PJ,my parents live in Seremban. I gave my brother till Dec. after which he has to move out. My dad gives him pocket money but wants him to earn his own money. I feel after Dec he will move to Seremban. I certainly don't like him to sponge off my dad any more! My dad has done a lot for us,he should be left to enjoy his savings with my mom!

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope you don't follow through on your plans to kick your own brother out of your house...

Offer him some support and guidance as an brother. He clearly needs it..

Start by giving him confidence, compliments for finishing a tough course and some respect. He needs to feel that engineering was a worthwhile course to pursue, and it is!

Engineering is a great field to break into and your career choices are limitless. Sit down with him and plan how he wants to break into the job market. Noone knows for certain what they want to do without doing it first and foremost. Your brother just needs to get his foot into the door and he should be able to work his way from there, or if he really doesn't like engineering, he can decide to do something more of his liking and suitability..

I can tell you, Malaysia is a great place to find work as an engineer if you do not ask for much, willing to put in the hard effort and willing to learn. Many companies will hire a starting grad engineer who has the right attitude and outlook.

Start searching for jobs by asking your immediate network of friends and family. I'm sure you know a friend who works in an engineering company. Most jobs come by this way. Online job postings and boards are also a great place to search. Cold call approach also works fine. Get him out there and doing things to make him more noticeable and employable.. He will eventually find a job.

Dont be so hard on him, it's not easy trying to find a job, the least you can do is give him your full support.
