‘It’s your children’s choice’


Assoc Prof Dr Katherine Poh

PARENTS need to let their children make their own choices, be it the tertiary courses or careers they want to pursue. Citing reports that 60% of Malaysian graduates remained unemployed one year after graduation, City University Malaysia deputy vice chancellor business development Assoc Prof Dr Katherine Poh said most often than not, it was due to the wrong tertiary choices they had made.

“Students should consult the right counsellors after taking the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), instead of having their parents tell them what to do,” she emphasised.
