40,000 graduate still has no jobs?

About 40,000 graduates in the country are still unemployed, based on the 2011 Graduate Tracking Study of the Higher Education Ministry.


Ministry deputy secretary-general (management) Datuk Omar Abd Rahman said: “We carry out the study yearly and last year, the percentage of graduates still unemployed was 21% from public institutions of higher learning, 27% from private institutions, 28% from polytechnics and 35% from community colleges.”

If this were to continue, it may even reach to 100k in years to come. Is it problem with our companies whom don't have vacancies or is it a problem with the graduates itself whom doesn't portray a good leadership skills, or is it that they cant speak good English Language, or do we have too many foreigners that locals do not have chance to get a job or is it their poor communication skills or graduate with tunnel vision.
