Financial Literacy Level Amongst Public University Students: Evidence from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
RUBAYAH YAKOB, HAWATI JANOR & NUR AIN KHAMIS (2015) state in their jurnal about financial literacy is very important in making financial decisions by an individual. This is among the efforts to achieve financial well-being. With the rise in student loan repayment and its relevance to the level of financial literacy in Malaysia as well as globally, this study aims to investigate the level of financial literacy among students at public universities by taking selected students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, one of the public universities in Malaysia as the sample of the study. In addition, the study also aims to identify factors that can influence the level of financial literacy amongst them. The results show that average UKM students have a moderate level of financial literacy. The findings suggest that efforts to raise awareness of financial knowledge should be further enhanced among university students. The findings of factors affecting the level of financial literacy can help policy makers, administrators and educators know the key aspects or components that need to be taken into account in education programs that are linked to improving financial literacy.

Nowadays, internet become our needs in our daily life. It become one of it  because that was one of the main source to get information, social relationship, education, entertainment and so on.

In their day-to-day lives, adolescents use the Internet for school work, entertainment, and to communicate with others.  While some adolescents use the Internet to meet and communicate with strangers, most use the Internet to communicate with known-others.

Issue/Title:

HIGH RATES OF UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG FRESH GRADUATES IN MALAYSIA

Background:

Based on Sundaily.com stated that the unemployment rate in Malaysia among fresh graduates has rose more than three times of the national unemployment rate. This is because of the growth in hiring moving slow stated by Bank Negara Malaysia in 2016.  Besides that, most of unemployed workers are from fresh graduates which the cause of unemployment among graduates mostly come from the lack of soft skills, technical skills, communication and problem solve skills. Communication is very important skills to workers in improving the productivity of company. Speaking, writing, reading and listening in English language for the job-related tasks at the workplace are important and it is one of the main reason for hiring the new workers at any company nowadays. Otherwise, the unemployed workers are jobless because of lack of ability to work in team, bad in interpersonal skills and cannot work under pressure.

Sources: (2014, June 28). High ratio of jobless youths to overall unemployment in Malaysia: World Bank. New Straits Times. Retrieved from http://www.nst.com.my/news/2015/high-ratio-jobless-youths-overall-unemployment-m’sia-world-bank

This article discuss the rates and issues of unemployment among graduates in Malaysia. The unemployed can take place for short or long term. There are three important types of unemployment which are structural, frictional, and cyclical. The first two are the natural unemployment rate. The third one rises when economic process falls, usually during a recession. Even in a healthy economy, there will always be same level of unemployment.

Structural unemployment is when shifts occur in the economy that creates a mismatch between the skills workers have and the skills needed by employees. Frictional unemployment happened when workers leave their old jobs but haven’t yet found new job. Majority of them are looking for a better job. Frictional unemployment is good for the economy because it is short term and a natural part of the process of searching job. In addition, it allows workers to be more productive.

Cyclical unemployment is not part of the natural unemployment rate because it force businesses to downsizing numbers of workers to cuts costs. The use of human resources do not fully utilize in a country with a high unemployment rate. Malaysia have been experienced financial crises before this, but still it can be controlled even though it has recorded a high unemployment rate. Based on Department of Statistic Malaysia, unemployment among graduates remain unsolved where 65,500 graduates were recorded unemployed which is 16.7% of the total unemployed labour in 2010.

Issue/Title: Transportation to class

Background: The Daily Free Press, 26 February 2014, by Daily Free Press Admin - Students express frustration with bus

In university, transportation to class is really important to students. It is because of the colleges and lecture halls are far away. Most of the university provided public transport to students. Therefore, it will become easier for students to go to the class. But at the same time, problems about public transport always become an issue among some students. Based on our observation, we determine that students always complain about public transportation in their social media.

According to an article, students of Boston University were glad with the public transport provided, but they were frustrated with the shuttle’s shortcomings. One of the students said, it would be very crowded on a busy day. There is a suggestion in this article that, bus should be double at peak hours to ensure that the bus commute is safe, assessable and efficient. Besides, the other student said that the bus did not arrive on time so they have to walk about 30 minutes to the class rather than waiting for the bus.

Student Body President Dexter McCoy said that “the bus’ tendency to arrive behind schedule is a relatively unavoidable problem”. Bus becomes overcrowded when students has morning class so, need more extra-long buses during the morning commute to alleviate the congestion students experience. Besides, students said they understood that some of the difficulties the bus faces are largely inescapable.

From this article, it was proven that there are problems that caused by public transportation. Therefore, it is very important to do a research about this problem. The purpose of this research is to determine student’s expectation about public transport that was provided in university.
