THE Education Minister recently highlighted a concerning trend: the ratio of SPM school-leavers choosing not to pursue further studies has risen significantly from 35.16% in 2020 to 48.74% in 2021.

This observation coincides with estimates from Persatuan Penghantar P-Hailing Malaysia vice-president Abdul Hakim Abdul Rani suggesting that around 20% of the 2022 SPM school-leavers will be joining the phailing service and aligns with a survey conducted by UCSI University in March.
