During the last class, the teacher told us to discuss Malaysia’s higher education systems’ problems. From the discussion, I found that many students are studying for grades and academic qualifications to the extent some have lost sense of morality. In my opinion, ethics plays a crucial role in establishing a civilized society. However, secularism and capitalism have pressured the students to cross the boundaries set by moral standards and shariah. Social problems such as GRO culture have ruined these students’ morality. These individuals, a part of it, driven by the desperation of earning pocket money and tuition fees, start to sell themselves to afford the financial commitments.
When thinking of a problem, we couldn’t avoid questioning what the root cause is. During the discussion, the teacher mentioned that the privatization of education began in 1996. Private sectors can establish private education institutions to profit by selling education to students, which contradicts what has been found by Rasulullah SAW of free education. As a result, higher education costs a fortune, and affected students resort to various methods to handle financial problems. However, it has been a debate among netizens when the top 10 sugar babies university in Malaysia list surfaced on the net. Some people argue that there are so many other halal methods to earn money for tuition and living expenses and said that those who opt to be sugar babies just want to avoid the hard way to find income. They are tempted to live a comfortable lifestyle where they could afford branded goods and a wealthy lifestyle. Peer pressure also plays a massive part as one of the temptations to these individuals.
When we put all of this situation together, we could see that people nowadays, the students, the government, and all the involved parties in this issue have place Nafs as their god. They are so greedy for profits and a comfortable lifestyle without struggling and willingly do everything without considering the laws and rules established by the Deen. Little did they knew their actions would be affecting everyone. For instance, there will be cases like corruption among authorities and teaching staff to pass an exam or a baby born out of wedlock and problems within individuals like STDs. In short, we can say that the education system is failing many future graduates due to immoral behavior caused by inevitable pressuring situations. So how will the goals of quality education be achieved?
Education should be accessible to everyone, accessible is not just the education that reaches the people yet also not becoming a burden and later creates more problems.
