SHAH ALAM - Youths are not keen in pursuing higher education due to low salary offered to them upon graduation, said Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
He said graduates prefer to dive straight into work after completing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).
"This is the issue among the youths. Based on research done, it suggests that two-third of youths choose to become influencers without wanting to further their education.
"I can't blame them. Based on what they said, the salary offered to them was far lower. It was not able to justify the number of years they spend on studying," he said in a Student Dialogue session with Syed Saddiq at the Karangkraf Complex on Thursday.
He said law graduates working at law firms in Terengganu earned RM1,500.
"Even someone who works at Uniqlo could easily earn up to RM2,500 without even pursuing their higher education," he added.
