Causes of Social Problems in Malaysia

Causes of Social Problems in Malaysia


Malaysia is categorized as third world country and has received rapid growth in socioeconomic and advance technologies. The globalization makes the world become smaller and all the information could be obtained easily by clicking on the computers. World without any barriers allows cultures from other countries influence the Malaysian especially the youths. There are good and bad cultures. The social problems emerged due to bad cultures from other countries. Cultures which we do not feed into our own cultural and religious values. Most young generations cannot identify and analyze what are the good and bad things. It could eliminate the moral values in each young generation.

There are several factors which trigger this phenomenon. Most people blame the parents who are not giving their children full attention. As a mother and father, we are responsible to teach our children how to prevent themselves from being involved in social problems such as smoking, sex before marriage, vandalism, bullying and other negative actions. Nowadays, the parents are going out early in the morning to go to work and reach home at midnight. They do not have sufficient time with the children. So, who will teach them to be good girls and boys? Who will tell them what are good and bad actions and what the effects are if they are doing the bad things?

Most of the youth fulfill their free time watching television, playing play station games, surfing internet, learning and trying to use a new handset, listening to music in digital MP3 player and so on. They are fast leaner and expertise in using modern technologies. The technologies are suppose to make our life better and help us to finish our work on time. However, the technologies are also giving the negative impacts if the users abuse the technologies. They are straying from the actual uses of the technologies. For example; Internet is used to find a lot of beneficial information to add to our knowledge in various things. Using internet allows us to obtain all the information without limitation. However, we also can search unnecessary websites such as pornography sites, heavy metal music sites, sex sites, black metal sites and so on. Those websites are trying to influence our youth to be rebellious teenagers!


Friends are most important supporter to the youth. They meet their friends almost every day at school and often go out with them. Regarding this phase, the teenagers prefer to share their problems, hobbies, happiness and sadness with their close friends. Friends are the subjects who influence the youth in making decision, build their thinking and confidence without limits. If they are fortunate and associate themselves with good and kind friends, they will be inspired to be brilliant students. They recognize what are the good and bad behaviors.

From the three factors we have discussed, we can conclude that education is the most important agenda to prevent our young generations from being manipulated by the tough situation. Parents should enlarge their knowledge and skills how to teach their children. They should monitor their children from useless or harmful activities. Love your children and develop them to be humble young generation! Therefore, education comes in two forms, informal education from parents and friends, and education from schools, where knowledge is gained especially in academic fields.
