Shame shame ... <BR/><BR/>hope to see some glimpse of hopes from you and mca.yakuzanamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833650928964532082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299599350082706378.post-213712684079482952008-12-19T21:30:00.000+08:002008-12-19T21:30:00.000+08:00tHAT WAS MY RANT ABOUT THE PAPERWORK your family h...tHAT WAS MY RANT ABOUT THE PAPERWORK your family has to face. but what about the jobs market, the malaysian beureaucrats don't want to entertain you, and if they do they belittle you, it is a culture of pettyiness and fiefdom control, give us your proposal, you take the next few month writing a thesis on your proposal, and when you hand it in they will tell you we will get back to you, well another scam here, a year later after numerous calls to the govt dept head in putrajaya, you get the familliar answer, right - tada budget, kementerian ak lulus, epu tak setuju. you go away with your tail between your legs and walla you wake up reading a bumi company has been awarded a contract to do exactly what you proposed, and since the proposal is so bloody good, it will be federally funded, ITS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, BUT WHO. IDEAS, PROPOSALS, WORKING PAPERS GET STOLEN AND ARE PASSED ON TO CRONIES OF politicians or the well connected. thats not the problem though, what you get is people who don't have the expertise, who take your proposal, make it their own, bring in some highly paid big flatullance 'expert' and watch them screw up your proposal till its untenable, and the whole project is a loss due to zero expertise and no-knowhow, a kung-fu master is not going to put on paper the pitfalls and solutions, that is for fools to find out for themselves, than you receive a phone call to come and 'consult' for the specialist company who stle your idea in the first place, well I did go,tansri aso aso very well connected, and looked over the company and laughed at his face and told him yes the problem can be fixed, but I won't fix it, its your problem now and walked away laughing. that is Malaysia for you, thieves of ideas, jacked up prices, money making schemes. I ask you a simple question has any govt project been costed to its actual value, out of a 100 projects, 90 are money making schemes with losses to taxpayers, but do these connected people get blacklisted? the sheer waste.I have met many highly trained Malaysians overseas but there is something very strange, out of 100, 99 do not have a bin/binti to their names, and of these 99, 98 would have been self sponsored. Other nations will offer you housing, lucrative paychecks, schooling for your children and even recomendations for jobs for your spouse,perfect working permits very little red tape, whereas here in Malaysia you are told you are pendatang, go to the immigression and find out what piece of S**T you are off the sole of the immegresion officers, govt officials who want to cover their turf, so you get pushed into a hidden corner, only brought out when needed for ideas. I know of Malaysians who have flown out, driven to singapore and thailand to abscond the clutches of their bonds, its either that or commit suicide.

I suggest India because <BR/>i)India is very advance in Science and Technology today ,they can launch rocket ,satelite ,made what ever minute electronic components they needed , without having to import from other countries.They are also advance in IT ,biotechnology and Medicine<BR/>ii) English is widely used in India<BR/><BR/>iii) Cost of living in India is lower , instead of sending student <BR/>to other USA or Europe , we can use the same amount of money to send more students to India to get more benefit<BR/>iv)India is a multiethnic , multicultural ,multireligion country ,there are a lot of mosque and muslim there, is not difficult for students of Islamic faith to adapt themselve to live over there. <BR/> <BR/>2) Men of Senior age are also treasures to us , every effort should be intensify to make Malaysia MY Second Home and Health Tourism Programes sucess in Malaysia, because this is also a way to us to achieve BRAIN GAIN.呉 和豪https://www.blogger.com/profile/06178218756112784517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299599350082706378.post-46006959886682762092008-12-19T09:02:00.000+08:002008-12-19T09:02:00.000+08:00SL, listen to what 'artic turban' said in his comm...SL, listen to what 'artic turban' said in his comments and consider his position. You have given a lengthly write out on almost all the factors contributing to the brain-drain and highlighted some constructive proposals to attract and retain the brain-drain, yet the govt. will not heed good advice. In the past years the govt. came up with some proposals, but they fell short of expectation and never seriously encouraged overseas people to return. Those who returned earlier were grossly disappointed and after a short stay, left again.The statistics of those who returned tells a sad story.<BR/>You can come up with all sorts of proposals and advice, but sad to say that if the present govt. is not sincere and possess a lukewarm attitude to this brain-drain issue, then we are back to square one. Forget about Vision 2020 and the objective to be an industrialized country by that decade if the attitude of the govt. does not change. I do believe the govt. has other agenda such as retaining the so called 'ketuanan melayu' which is their priority and not other more important issues.<BR/>Take a look across the Causeway, the attraction of 'brains' is a success, be humble and learn from them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095757952877210046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299599350082706378.post-30005895864542670872008-12-18T18:58:00.000+08:002008-12-18T18:58:00.000+08:00This is a total waste of time, what the Malaysian ...This is a total waste of time, what the Malaysian govt wants and what it actually does is 2 totally diferent agendas, It wants Malaysians with skills and knowledge to come back and work as cheap labour, in the name of partriotism, well sir I am one of those professionals who came back with his scandinavian spouce and 2 EU pasport Children, LIES LIES AND GOVT LIES is what I say, the amount of maney, time, effort wasted.<BR/>, and in the end IF YOU'RE Lucky because you know some one high up there in the clouds of putrajaya, don't hopee for a P.R. for your spouse for the next 15-20 years, and what is a P.R. - RED I.C., your children green ic, if you are lucky.<BR/> Lets put it this way, we were not the right colour nor race. What ministers say in Press confrencesses and what actually happens on the ground is total apathy, typically umno style of governing, why? well For the first 4 years, my wife, a professional was unable to work, A chicken and egg situation, get your employer to apply for work-permit, employers answer, why should I? Than the hospital charges for your children and spouse- double what you as a malaysian pays, But the most important thing is the yearly visits to the imigresion dept, and the days you have to take off and sit there, the same forms you have to fill yearly, the money you have to pay, yep folks all that claptrap that if your children are below 5 years old when they reach malaysian shores and are exempted are just that ,claptrap, I had to apply individual pasports for my children or malaysian govt will not process your documents, than there is the time for the period of 1 year where I had to visit the immigration dept monthly to get a monthly pass for my daughter, and pay RM50/ monthly X12 = rm600.00, btw the yearly pass is RM90.<BR/>and this is for one child, try this with 2 kids.<BR/>did I forget to mention the security deposit you have to pay the govt and the surat sumpahs and what not, well folks its a preety good scam they have going here, IT WORKS LIKE THIS, THE SECURITY bond you have to pay for your wife will be RM 1,500, PER CHILD- RM1,500. AND WILL BE KEPT FREE OF CHARGE BY THE GOVT, till the day your family leaves, of which you can than claim, with their claim of 'IT IS A SIMPLE PROCESS- SCAM' well your family has to leave the country, so therefore you have to stay back and handle the paperwork, than we 'akan bagi keputusan dalam waktu sengkat shj' 2 YEARS LATER WHILE PAYING FOR EXPENSIVE CALLS TO the imigration dept whlist being passed from one officer to another, 2 and half years later the money is still not in your bank account, 'Sudaah hantar check dengan poss kepada alamat anda' are the latest con I've heard,<BR/>WELL I ASKED THE YOUNG LADY, WHICH ADDRESS? AS I HAVE NONE IN MALAYSIA, answer, ahhhh.......<BR/>SO TO MALAYSIANS OUT THERE WHO ARE CONTEMPLATING OF COMING BACK, TAKE MY ADVICE, LOVE YOUR COUNTRY -YES, BUT DON'T COME BACK AND WASTE ALL THose air fares and shipping container haulage charges etc, its just not worth it.artic turbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132672547702374553noreply@blogger.com
