What would compel Johor to turn to Singapore to reshape its education system? Beneath this bold decision lies a deeper crisis—one that threatens Malaysia’s future talent and economic strength. As thousands of Malaysians cross the Causeway for better opportunities, Johor is making a daring move to stop the bleeding. But why is Johor taking such a drastic step, and what does it mean for the nation’s survival?

A good education can help change lives, but some children face huge barriers.
KUALA LUMPUR, April 28, 2025: Johor has apparently lost confidence in the federal government’s education system and has sought help from Singapore (View above video clips).
Thousands of Malaysian students, especially in Johor, skipped their STPM Examination to work in Singapore.
The brain drain in Johor and lost of quality human capital is acute, to say the least.
The problem should not be surprising or shocking to Malaysians because Malaysia’s education standards have dipped to the pits due to a racist education policy system governed by racial and religious bigots for decades.
The current useless Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has no inkling on the priorities of good and wholesome education.
She has, till today, refused to take any action against those educators who promoted violence and use of firearms in schools.

And last week, even the Education Ministry (also read as the federal government) staff and officials failed to recognise the correct design of the Jalur Gemilang (national flag).
In short, kangkung lecturers and universities are producing kangkung graduates who are unemployable.
And the Government is bragging about having 14,000 straight-A students but “fading interest in science stream”.
So, Malaysia is producing low-quality students and human capital.
14,000 straight-A students but ‘fading interest in science stream’
Health minister calls for reigniting interest to ensure a steady stream of graduates entering the medical field.

PETALING JAYA: Health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad says he is concerned about the declining interest in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics stream and its impact on the supply of medical students.
Dzulkefly today said that despite more than 14,000 students securing straight A’s at the 2024 SPM examination, there has been a noticeable decline in interest in the science stream.
“This is a cause for concern as medical majors are from the science stream,” he said according to Bernama.
“I hope that we can reignite interest among these 14,000 students. This is crucial to ensure that the health ministry’s human resource challenges are effectively addressed,” he said in Kota Bharu.
He also urged the education ministry and the science, technology and innovation ministry to motivate and encourage students to choose the science stream.
Education ministry statistics for 2021 show a huge gap in the number of schoolchildren pursuing humanities and those pursuing technical subjects.
A total of 42,257 students were enrolled in Upper Form 6 humanities classes in 2019, compared with 4,877 in the science stream. The number of science students dropped in 2020 to 3,853.
