JOHOR BARU: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong today called on fresh university graduates not to be choosy when applying for jobs as they should be ready to take on even a blue collar job.

"It's all in their mindset," he said, adding that graduates should take up whatever job offers that come their way.

Speaking to reporters at the 4th Johor Career and Postgraduate Expo here, Wee said some 200,000 fresh graduates enter the job market every year and thus they cannot afford to be choosy.

He added that they should be realistic about the current economic situation and take up whatever jobs that come their way including learning new skills, working as a blue collar worker or doing their own business.

He attributed some 67% of the graduates being unemployed due to their own incompetency such as having a poor command of English, both communication- and written-wise, and also asking for a high salary.

"One out of four graduates remain unemployed, even 6 months after graduation, and they are among the current 400,000 unemployed individuals in the country, making up 35.3% of them," he said.

Minister in PMO.


What position is that?

Cukur malaysia always ada minister gv advice

u joking right?

But but but jibby cakap economy msia very the gd.
What tolk cocky this wks on weed

typical advice from BN government.

1. Barang naik? Tanam sendiri.

2. Chicken expensive? Don't eat chicken.

3. GST make living cost goes up? Masak sendiri.

Mr. Wee Ka Siong, assume you are the fresh grad today, are you willing to work as blue collar? The fact is ... I think you would rather die than work as blue collar, but you really don't mind other youngsters to die as long as you hold high position and never care about the country.

yes. fresh grad should start working in estate, work for JKR, indah water, work at construction site

Economy not getting any better soon

conclusion:
fresh grad=spm kid? both can do blur collar job.

Boss what dialect/slang is this ? I wanna know =)

Bodo belajar susah susah fight for ptptn struggle with living cost lagi want suruh kerja during study, now ask us not to choosy in getting jobs

U guys was born with silver spoon shived up to ur butthole boleh la cakap

You know, gov want loan repaid, asking fresh grad to work min wage spm level. You think they don't need to eat? After frakking the country economy, increasing food cost and such, still dare to make that statement poi.

Seriously, who vote these people?

you no need a degree to do blue collar jobs.....PMR/ SPM grad can do that.

Infact, blue collar jobs already taken by "foreign talent"

Psst...Wee Ka Siong sent his dotter to learn Singapork Maths wan....i saw his photos...lol.

Can call government tutup kedai at this point.

No difference whatsoever.

Key words..........................malas

That 67% unemployed fresh grad, majority do not prefer speaking English, that's why fail interbiu...

diu wooorr

got so high meh unemployment among fresh grad
national avg. i thought hovering bout 3% only

i remember how WKS get job in the govt

the real issue is the incompetency or job opportunity lower than graduates?

but if fresh grad work blue collar job, where the 1.5m Bangladeshis that have been brought in gonna work?

good hard-working fresh grad should get 3k
but without company car

Job market is hard nowadays. Lotsa returning Malaysian retrenched from Middle East to grab slice of cake in the current market, not to mention overcrowded local retrenched... Its hard...

so, accounting grad take engineering job?

I think, fresh grad choose to work that related to their study.
If simply work anything that came up, afraid that all their hard work not gonna be counted as their working experience.
LEL.

u know,i know la.....use them for 1 time "urgent" usage only


*hints = next GE

Kampung pipul and felda pipul and macai who get benifit also macai zombie.

He's a civil engineer but taking on Education and PMO role, he never complaint also... Learn from him lo..

plz enroll into erican college and read more informative books rather than noob forum

Grad as PhD, do dish washing?

99% doing phd oredy is a lecturer.

they just do phd for the lulz.

so not dish washing.

sorry to disapoin

minister goyang telor

Your ancestors

Cashier also can

i thought PMO said unemployment rate is low in Malaysia?

what is PH alternative solution?

1. Barang naik? PH kasi turun.

2. Chicken expensive? PH kasi ayam free.

3. GST make living cost goes up? PH abolish GST.

67% of the graduates being unemployed..


50% pi race motor d..
part time rempit..

jangan break the circlejerk bro..

If PH take over, will confirm RM1 = USD4.

Why must so susah?

Najib says 2020 we high income nation ma... isnt that like income per capita of above USD13,000? Why should we accept low income job then?

Kalau tak suka start biz sendiri.
Then again, economy is so fck up to even consider that.

If a nation have a stable economy, none of these will happen.

What did government had done to topple recent economy issue? Nothing.

Singapore is our neighbour, their food supply is same with us, but their food inflation is much more stable than us. Why? Because Singapore economy is stable, govern by the government.

If it is the duty of a government, please don't put the blame on rakyat.
