The issue with many Malaysians is that some jobs, they don’t like. Some jobs, they think not enough glamour. Some jobs, too hot under the sun. Well, the list goes on and of course there’s also that ‘salary not enough’ reasoning too. There are opportunities with all careers IF we are truly diligent in doing it. As for all the other reasons, well, here’s a Malay proverb for you. ‘Hendak seribu daya, tidak seribu dalih.’ In English it’s ‘When there’s a will, there’s a way.’ Happy applying.
