The world has been in an unsettled state ever since the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic, and while efforts have been made to return to pre-Covid 19 state, there nevertheless is evidence and proof that this is now impossible.

The changes that have taken place post-Covid 19 are rapid and widespread and it suggests that there is now a worldwide gambit to accelerate the use of technology and automation to displace human workers at the workplace.

Apparently it looks like people have become a liability and there is a covert operation by influential individuals and organisations and governments to depend less and less on human capital as it is inferior in comparison with mechanisation.

In Malaysia, this has witnessed less meaningful jobs being created, the end of lifetime employment, redundancies, and the onset of job hopping while many industries and businesses which were thriving in the past are now beginning to decline.

Social media platform users have made sporadic comments that “these changes are frightening and nerve wrecking and it’s anyone’s guess what people are becoming in a fiercely competitive global environment.”

This has resulted in a widening gap between the rich and the poor as about ten persons have monopoly of half the wealth of the world and are dictating terms such as controlling population growth and doing away with the weak and infirm.
