KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — Malays are also migrating in hope of landing better jobs abroad as they are being discriminated against by Malaysia’s private sector, says rights group Perkasa.
The Malay rights group said the issue of brain drain was not limited to non-Malays, accusing the private sector of having “racist” policies in hiring employees.
“The Malays are leaving the country in droves because they cannot obtain places within the private sector, only the government sector... the private sector chooses employees based on skin colour, and they favour their own race compared to Malays,” Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hassan Syed Ali told The Malaysian Insider.
He disputed the findings of a World Bank report published on Thursday which stated that the main factors causing brain drain in Malaysia were policies favouring the Malays.
“Malays are leaving, they are going to the United Kingdom, Dubai for better prospects... why? Because they can’t even get job opportunities despite being qualified,” Syed Hassan told The Malaysian Insider.
The Perkasa leader claimed pro-Bumiputera economic policies were not the reason non-Malays were leaving the country.
“The Chinese, the Indians, they like to leave the country, they are used to leaving their country for better job opportunities.
“They are leaving because they want better pay in foreign countries... it is not because of discriminatory policies... they have everything they want here, what are they complaining for?” said the Perkasa secretary-general.
In a Bloomberg news service report, World Bank senior economist Philip Schellekens was quoted as saying that foreign investment could be five times the current levels if the country had Singapore’s talent base.

1. Have Malay parents who made enough money from govt contracts and thus can afford to send their children abroad, and will do so because they know Malaysia has lower quality of life and will remain so in the near future.
2. Have Malay parents who have made enough money from govt contracts and have had their children educated well in English as a first language, else they wont survive overseas.
As for the majority of the Malays who dont have govt connections to land themselves any govt projects to get rich quick...... too bad, cant migrate because:
1. got no money.
2. got no language skill.
3. got no confidence to withstand 'real working culture' set by global standards.
The TRUTH SUCKS: Majority of Malays are so laid back and reliant on govt handouts over the years coupled with false sense of security given by Malay politicians that they will NEVER survive overseas!

but this is a far cry from Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hassan Syed Ali's twisted and baseless claim (that never will ever can be substantiated by facts and figures) that they are leaving the country "in droves because they cannot obtain places within the private sector" and that "the private sector chooses employees based on skin colour".
most malays find jobs in the government sector because the sector is the largest creator of jobs, and BECAUSE THESE JOBS ARE CREATED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR MALAYS.
the private sector employs people based on ability, meritocracy (a concept alien to perkasa and the Syed). it does not and cannot afford to choose employees based on skin colour, but on skills and abilities because IT IS SURVIVAL IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. even a bumi-run marketing company for example is unlikely to give a job to any applicant, bumi or otherwise, who cannot speak simple, coherent English. and would a company that trades almost exclusively in China even think of giving a job to Chinese who cannot communicate in Hua yue?
so, yes, Syed may be right that Malays may also be exiting "in droves" but why moan, and advance dumb reasons for doing so? he should in fact be congratulating them for being able to find jobs, good well paid jobs, outside tanah melayu!
he is equally dumb for saying that the pro-Bumiputera economic policies were not the reason non-Malays were leaving the country. “The Chinese, the Indians, they like to leave the country". Wow! Does this person truly understand the implications and importance of that statement? he probably doesn't so his political masters both serving and retired should upon serious reflection do the necessary.
Let me raise an important point, partly triggered by Syed's claim. Most, if not all, countries "lose" people, valued or otherwise. Most countries that see citizens leaving take it benevolently and are magnanimous in wishing them well and offering them a blank cheque to return. they DO NOT CUT them off. that's why you will find people in other countries who are citizens of those countries and owe their loyalties to those countries BUT WHO WILL STILL THINK FONDLY OF THEIR "HOME LAND". but this is an alien concept here.
now, what is perkasa's stance on Malays who leave to work and live abroad? will perkasa treat them no differently like Chinese and Indians? it considers Chinese and Indians pendatangs and therefore if they leave to work/live abroad it is good riddance. will is also be good riddance to the "droves" of Malays leaving that Syed mentioned? will perkasa conjure up benevolence and magnanimity for them?
syed and perkasa, to use a hokkien phrase beh tahan simply because the world bank mentioned and used as comparison SINGAPORE!
small minded frog in a little pond, just like their godfather.

they can earn more outside Malaysia purely based on their own talents - no one will laugh behind their backs that they are where are in malaysia because ther are malays in malaysia and have an unfair advantage over the non-malays
they feel embrassed to be in malaysia with a government that uses race and religion to jkeep themselves in power
they have religious freedom to choose the faith of their choice based on their convictions and they can marry a person of a different faith without that person having to convert to Islam
they know they do no need special protection to compete with others
they are showing others that malays can do it without the crutches that perkasa malays must have and they are proving perkasa WRONG

But do know the Government sector has showed through their quotas to be bias and therefore the non-Malays who incidently would be more than happy to work with Government sectors are deprived..Futhermore the people fail to realise that the income is low and that the Government feels contented to rob the Malays of better salary,by being patriotic and showing they care only for Malays..So why complain?
Ask this question which private sectors you refer to? Who are the Chairmans,Directors,Bosses and partners of major private sectors? And are people apt to work in privates sectors with the inability to speak better command of English...?
As for non-Malays leaving...may I ask this Perkasa not to be so arogant when you speak..As a muslim convert in my opinion,I see you show nothing but aggresion in the manner you present yourself..who are the non-Malays that start any issue with your goodself? What gives you the right to question of anyone leaving the country..?.
How many Malays are sponsored by Government to study overseas compared to non-Malays? And by which statistics and by whose confirmation have you deduced that Chinese and Indians like leaving the country and its not because they too have not been given the same opportunities as the Malays and that the non-Malays who have the chance leave to be rid of racism and constant accusations and insults on their race and religions???
Oh by the way you should thank the British and the Indians...Its by other languages that you could make words to broaden the limitation in the Malay Language to express your arrogant self...And are shameless and hypocritical to then insult the people and their language...Plus its by the inventions,discoveries and creations of other races that you have this opportrunity to make yourelf known...Mascommunication isnt an invention by the Malay.. media,IT,technology,science,aviation,transportation,mus
ic,the world of education,fashion,etc etc...isnt the founders of Malays..So please while the world needs each other if my race shows arrogance,I would be embarrased and kick the butts pof of them for their negative and sensless behaviours and understanding and at the same time shameless....!!!

Of course, World Bank senior economist Philip Schellekens was right in his report. The world bank had reported truthfully. Only fools, con-men, opportunists, Malay-Impostors and the likes of Perkasa's bastards would want to continue deny, twist and destroy a good Malaysian future in Malaysia. Short-sighted, selfish bastards these racially-inclined groupings are! Keep these truthful reports coming and expose them to the world. Eff them!

True, Malay are leaving the country as well. But they left not because of the private sector mumbo-jumbo theory you told us. Those Malays who work in the government too feel discriminated. If you are not an UMNO member or an arse licker than you will remain in that rank for donkey years. No way you are going up the ladder. All the Head of the Department in the government offices are Ketua bahagian, Ketua cawangan, setiausha, bendahari, ketua penerangan or some other posts in the thieving UMNO party. They are up there not because they know how to do the job but because they are merely UMNO members. Promotion are not based on merit but whom you know!
And let me tell you of their work rate. They came at 8:00 am, punch in than off to the canteen until 8:40 or just go to another high-ranking Ketuanan member's room to sembang-sembang. Than sit on the desk making phone calls about the prospect of playing golf in the afternoon. In between, buat-buat busy by getting in and out of the office and by breathing under the neck of employees. 10 o'clock teh-tarik time again. 12 noon to 2:pm, lunch and sembahyang. Sometimes the makan time is way after 3 pm if there is a lunch appointment with some freeloader "projek Datuks" at some hotels. 4:30 off to the golf club. That is the routine UMNO Ketua Cawangan cum Head of Government Department.
Those who work hard will rot down the rung if they don't kiss the arse of these arse licker. And this talented people will eventually left the public office to work elsewhere where their talents are appreciated. I have met many talented Malays overseas; IT specialists, telecommunication technicians, civil, hydro and petroleum engineers, lecturers, Quantity Surveyor, etc. So Syed Celup. . ., even in the Ketuanan-controlled Public offices, there are brain drain because of discrimination.
So don't talk c**k to me, because I am one of the Malays that had migrated because of discrimination!
