Pengangguran Di Kelantan Meningkat Kerana Kurang Pekerjaan

KOTA BAHRU: Jumlah penganggur di Kelantan meningkat kepada 25,733 orang bagi tempoh Januari hingga September tahun ini berbanding 24,336 orang untuk tempoh yang sama tahun lepas.

Penolong Pengarah Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Kelantan, Mohamad Yaacob, memberitahu Bernama antara penyumbang utama kepada pertambahan itu ialah kurangnya pekerjaan di negeri itu.

Beliau berkata faktor lain ialah sikap rakyat Kelantan yang memilih pekerjaan atau enggan berhijrah ke tempat lain kerana mahu bekerja di negeri itu.

Mohamad berkata jabatan itu sedang meningkatkan kesedaran dalam kalangan penganggur dan lepasan sekolah dan institusi pengajian tinggi menerusi Program Penempatan Pekerjaan (3P) Azam Kerja Peringkat Negeri 2010 yang akan diadakan di sini pada Sabtu dan Ahad ini.

Katanya melalui program itu sebanyak 2,124 peluang pekerjaan akan ditawarkan yang merangkumi dalam bidang profesional dan teknikal (107); pengurusan (398); perkeranian (20); tenaga mahir dan separuh mahir (440) serta am/buruh/operator pengeluaran (1,159).

Mohamad berkata peserta program akan diberi elaun RM100 dan tambang percuma sepanjang dua hari itu. - BERNAMA

I think the no. 1 reason is not the lack of jobs in Kelantan, that's rather the last reason. The foremost reason is the ones cited as "faktor lain".

 

There are thousands of available jobs in Malaysia. Kelantanese who seek some success in life have gone out of the state and become successful in other states. Just drop by any warong in Malaysia, be it in Melaka, in Langkawi, in JB of course, and in KL, the stalls selling tomyam are mostly full of Kelantanese. Maybe sometimes you can find Siamese people also. Hence, it is in fact a matter of choice.

 

"Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum sehingga kaum itu mengubah nasib mereka sendiri".

 

In Malaysia, the word "Menganggur" or "Unemployed", pictures the attitude of oneself of not being able to try and do something new or put simply, not having a vision in life. There's no harm in doing some clerical job right after you graduate. In fact I did employ one, until she decided to further her studies. I could not employ her as her degree did not match with the kind of degree the company is seeking for. Well, at least she could learn some new things while working albeit in short time.

 

In my work place, the contractors are looking for workers high and low since people in Malaysia have that choice of not working. In desperate needs to find workers, the only way out is to employ foreigners. Cheaper, tak banyak cekadak, can do dirty jobs in dark and risky areas. Try find Malaysians that want to do those kind of jobs.

 

I really hope the government will not resort to giving allowance or coupons for food to those unemployed in Malaysia. I wonder why the US still do that, and in UK as well. Perhaps their government have that extra money to sponsor those who choose not to work. This will only encourage people not to earn their own living. I really pray that in wanting to win more votes, our government will not resort to such solution, no matter how desperate they aspire to win the votes.

 

There are clear distinctions between "helping" and "pampering". As we move towards becoming high income nation, I hope these people will change their attitude, or be at risk of losing behind all those developments planned for the nation.
