Malaysia faces an exodus of talent. Not only is our education system failing to deliver the required talent, we have not been able to retain local talent of all races nor attract foreign ones due to poor prospects and a lack of high-skilled jobs. Recent figures from the Immigration Department reveal that between 2010 and September last year nearly 108 thousand Malaysians either renounced or revoked their citizenship. In a signal that the trend is on the increase, more than 308 thousand Malaysians have sought greener pastures overseas. We ask why.
