If you are inclined to travel and experience while studying or working, so just do it. Migrating to another country doesn't always due to political, economical or educational failures where we are at present. Please don't mar the beauty of enriching one's life with different lifestyle on foreign pastures with ugly comments. Some people like it here, some people don't! That's all, no need to be cynical with "You know lah!" Sometimes a decision to migrate does not have to be embedded with negative reasons.

I then asked him "If life under NEP was so damn good here in Malaysia, why is it your relatives who migrated to UK never came back?" On my part, this BN govt wont be getting any services from my intellect after I am done with my studies here. If they think that a 15 sen reduction for every litre of petrol is enough to buy my approval, I'm too expensive for that because I'll be another number on the migration list come hell or high water.

My neighbour who falls into this category is angry with the schooling system. His 10 and twelve year olds go to a sekolah rendah kebangsaan. Most of the teachers in his children's school begin their lessons islamic salutations and a simple prayer. Th non muslim children feel they are irrevelent because for the teacher they are like not important at all. And of course the muslim students respond to the teacher . The non muslim students just keep quiet. Is this the way a primary school system function. So he has decided to to look for a suitable school for his kids. As nearly all national schools function this way, heis looking for a school elswhere - beyond our shores. Why even young professionals migrate?

The findings should be more interesting and illuminating. Anil, Can you do a research on the number of Malaysians working overseas ? The findings should be more interesting and illuminating.

(From New Straits Times (Malaysia))

Byline: Balan Moses

MIGRATION, for many non-Bumiputeras, is simply history repeating itself.

Most feel they are merely taking the route their forefathers did in coming to Malaya from China, India or Sri Lanka for a better future.

For the very few Malays who have decided that their destiny lies on foreign soil, largely due to family ties, the move is so much more daunting.

While the Chinese or Indian may still have emotional links with the land of their ancestors which may muffle the effect of migration, it is much more complex for the Malay leaving the home of his forefathers.

Most of the handful of Malays who have sought to live elsewhere have chosen the United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Canada and New Zealand. This is largely due to the residual effect of having studied there.

Save for the occasional visit back, the attachment of those migrating to the country of their birth will be limited to the bank of memories complete with emotional baggage carried everywhere…
