All honest jobs have a role in society. There is no such thing as 'tiada masa depan' job. This is an extremely wrong mindset that leads to marginalization.

Instead students should be taught to have dignity as long as they work hard at their honest jobs and the rest of society should respect them.

There workers can exploit automation to improve efficiency and earn more pay.

agreed!

look at engineering grads now - some universities end up creating 'engineering technology' courses
for those with lower qualifications.

lecturers teaching them just for the sake of teaching & KPI to ensure 90% students pass,
else have to answer to the faculty.

these 'engineering' students go out and apply jobs - either not getting any interviews or flunking interviews
because they don't even know what they study in the first place, ask simple fundamental questions also
cannot answer.

those working end up frustrated either because

1. they can't perform in their jobs

2. actually their passion is not engineering but rather MLM

3. salary lower than expectation because employer can offer RM3.5/mth vs. RM5k that they want.

thus resorting them to become food panda rider/grab food rider/grab driver

and afterwards take it to social media saying that they studied mechatronics engineering technology
and now working as food delivery engineer.

adults blame them because they're strawberry generation.

they replied back with 'OK, Boomer'.

Any of the physical ones, not computer.
If you're interested in technical work, go to practical pr vocational school.

Wow srs ly malaysia? Another brilliant PH idea without tackling the root source of the problem
No wonder we produce ppl who only thinks about money instead of child who have passion in their cita cita

This is really dumb.

Most of tbose that took those jobs not bcoz they want too, but have to as the limited job market these days.

U are indirectly insulting those people and u are teaching tbose kids to look down on people having those jobs.

Lets even say some of the kids parents do jobs that is listed there, how do u think they will feel? Not only that, maybe get teased by their friends.

PH memang bodoh tahap gaban. I really facepalm

Can explain why you think it's bad?

I think it's a great idea because of two reasons:

1. It introduces the idea of future employment into the schooling period. Now our education system is heavily academic (read:memorizing theory). It is good that student can have early exposure to future working enviroment.

2. It tracks future trends of employment. Some of the reading/teaching materials are outdated. These updated market info can let our students keep up to date with the future trend.

and yet they bringing in gojek.

Its a good implementation, but for me it should have NOT been done in school level.

it should have been done in the IPT, or higher education.

You do it in school, our child will think that oh, theres no need to learn science anymore, its useless to become a doctor/those professions anyway

then all become MLM ah bengs, entrepreneur, (not that its a bad thing), but when no kids are interested in taking those courses, its the start of brain drain.
you can introduce new subjects at schools, but doing this will only scare the kids and promote the kids to be dropouts.

why no future? its a job, which produce something beneficial towards society and economy.

its the gomen that should create the potential, build up platform for these jobs to sustain, not asking students to let go of their dreams, and be like a robot to follow set paths. later those professions will be flooded then still they cant get jobs.

Huh... How so?

Try not to read the news using the sensational phrase "tiada masa depan" by TS and replace with "bidang pekerjaan yang mungkin tidak lagi relevan atau wujud dalam tempoh tiga atau lima tahun akan datang".

Is that really that bad reporting on the future trend of the employment market?
I don't understand your emotion here.

Like i explained in the othet reply. If thats the case, they should instead follow other countries that do career counseling. They should not just outright tell kids that the jobs will be obsolete in the future. As reasons i have stated, not many people that treat those jobs as their career. They do it bcoz they have no other options.

Even if they say what course to take in uni, most of the times those courses are full.

So to me its nonsense.

lol you know nothing. It's called engineering technology because the job market specifically want these type of graduates. Go learn about malaysian board of technologists before you spout nonsense from your asshole
