By Deputy Foreign Minister
1 December 2009
About 304,000 Malaysian left the country from March 2008 to August 2009 (for education, career and business)
About 135,000 Malaysian left the country in 2007
An increase from 369 person per day to 630 person per day.

The right question is to ask why? What did the country fall short? Or is it merely other countries comparatively more attractive? What are the main reasons normally that cause the migration?
The most common reasons:
- Education (How does Malaysia rank in terms of education?)
- Career (What is the earning capacity for Malaysia vs other neighbour countries)
- Biz (Does Malaysia provide fair biz opportunity across board?)
- Political fairness and corruption
Until we do our soul searching and improve on the above 3 main cause of brain drain, the figures will almost certain increase.
