3 root causes:-

-Unmarried
-Married but no kids
-Married but with just 1 kid

To solve this issue, every couple need to have minimum 2 kids.

Those married with kid don't so quickly judge those who don't have kids.

See whether you are also having minimum 2 kids.

Else you are also contributing to depopulation problem, albeit slowly.

So I stick to my motto: "If you want to have 1, better have none."

thats exactly what they wanted right? that is their so call pejuangan all these while. untiil nothing is left and they would just have to fight among themselves.

This country will burn down and correct itself with or without you guys
Not like this place exists just after you guys come here
Also, I have no issue with abolishing all the bumi benefits and "rights" since only politicians and cronies benefits from it the most while pipits get the crumbs 
Also without all those bs, it'll make bumi stronger and you guys will have less chance to survive

the whole point of them having kids is instead hope the kid is a lottery child, got a good job, and will be their financial provider instead.

Type C is smart

We want our kids to have a better life elsewhere where they have an equal chance at life and not handicapped at birth

pretty much will fall apart look at east coast with over 90% type m

cannot collect enough tax things start to break down

if thailand or indonesia see malaysia weak already they might invade

tanah melayu dijajah semula

then the correct answer is migrate instead of childless.

need to encourage more seks

no need worry, can import from other country... Importantly T20 can still survive... See singapore also do same thing...

Higher cost of living , lower purchasing power, low wages, lower employment opportunities. That is the real rootcause.

Being childless can be a choice, and some couples are not fortunate enough to be given that choice
The high Migration rate of type Cs is self explanatory.

Root cause is actually advancement in tech.  People are too occupied that they lose interest in relationship hence low birthrate.
