M’sia in 20 years

An interesting article citing that M’sia could be a next maids exporter in 20 years >  M’sia’s next export : Maids?

The main reasons cited included ‘problematic’ education system & low ability to retain talents.  I thought that line of reasoning is kind of contradicting.. I mean if the education is problematic, how could then be ‘talents’ be produced therefore – to be retained?  Or maybe they need to define what ‘problematic’ actually means.

Of course our dear PM appears aware of the ‘brain drain’ & hopes to retain the talents  by ‘attractive’ policies & structures (such as lowe r tax) but seriously – is he really that clueless? Does he seriously think that those talents that left M’sia left because of money & money only?  So.. the Australian talents rushing to get out of Australia because of the high tax or that Bill Gates tries to emigrate to Brunei because of the high tax in US? Puh-lease… my gawd !

The talents left because they are disillusioned by the government that uses race politics to control the majority so that they can enrich themselves. They are disillusioned because the government purposely marginalised the talented ones just because they are not muslim. The are disillusioned because the government treats its citizens like they are an uneducated lot.

So what would I see M’sia in 20 years ? No.. we would not be exporting maids  because if you truly knows the locals here, they are not at all like the hardworking Indonesians or the resourceful Filipinos…

But M’sia could see increase in Middle eastern ownership of the ‘supposedly state owned corporations bought by oil money, and we would definitely have expats (& maybe those ‘local talents’ got hired back into M’sia) – lots of them but hired by the Middle eastern owners.  Now.. these ‘expats’  & middle easterners definitely need drivers, cleaners, ‘entertainment’ don’t they ? So why would M’sia export maids? M’sia needs them right here !!
