It is an alarming condition when 72.1% of Malaysian school leavers who hold the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) choose not to pursue tertiary education in 2022. As one of the consequences brought by COVID-19 pandemic, this scenario is a serious issue that needs to be taken care off. Letting them not to invest themselves in higher education is a lost of talent pool. Apart from this issue, the issues of underemployed and unemployment among graduates are also prevailing. Every year, Malaysia produces thousands of graduates but their employability issues give us huge question mark. This paper addresses the overview of the graduate employability issues in Malaysia and how Malaysia’s government should react and respond to cater them. As more jobs become obsolete in the near future, it is about time for the Malaysia’s higher education to embrace change and transform themselves in accordance to the industrial needs. The final section of this paper concludes everything and suggest few policy implication.
