My Devlinish 26th Birthday..
I AM OLD LADY OLEADY!!!
But my friends are still awesomely treating me like a 15 yr old. Heh Heh.
I get the best Birthday parties..
Around the 2nd of May this year. My friends planned a nice party for me. It was supposed to be a surprise, but because I am so kaypoh, in the end I found beforehand.
The night started with dinner at the THE IVORY, Indian Cuisine.
Sumptuous, gorgeous Indian food. We got the VIP room too. YAY!
The babes: Sandy, Shil, Sze and Su..
The boys: Cat, Darren, me, Gan and Tim
The food: Goat cheese cubes in curry, included...
They also delivered us a wrong bottle of wine, about 100 bucks more expensive..we didn't know so we drank it... goodness, so Mr Gan had to oblige and pay.
Boy to boy conversations included..
Violet and Sandra
Birthday girl and her wishes.
The gang
Birthday song is a necessary procession. After the bubbly conversations, cake blowing, hugging.. etc etc.. We proceeded to Gotham Penthouse where a bunch of our other friends were already waiting.
There the party started...
.
.
.
We had the VIP seats so it was cosy.. drinks were flowing.. songs were playing and cameras were flashing..
.
The candid bunch.
Happy girls...
After a while, the scene changed a little..
people got more intoxicated..
gadgets were out..
Dr Violet Tang took out a staethoscope.
So Cat tried it on moi.
She reckoned checking my brain was more imperative, compared to checking the chest.
My lovely celeb friend Sin Huey came down too..
YAY!
Anyway, we hinted there'll be a male stripper show, so I bet all the girls came down.. mostly for the strippers not for my birthday . Haha.
Below are more girls, in anticipation of the strip show.
So, that was Gwen, me and Evelyn. Eve was in SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finals you know.
They are all Salsa fanatics and experts..
.
.
Suyin (Gan's sis), Eve, Gwen and Sin Huey.
Suyin teached Bacchata you know? She is a high flying accountant, a great salsa dancer and she's single..
Come come apply! Queue now opens!
OK, in case you didn't know. Gotham Penthouse is a very special club.
Targetted mostly to girls with penchant for slithe, hard male bodies parading on stage.
Let me correct myself, parading should be replaced with gyrating.
They have jaw dropping shows, made up of 4 male dancers from South Africa who bared it to their G's. Yummy!
Oh dear..
Look at this picture!
I looked sad yeah.. ?
Not because they weren't cute..!!!
But it was more like a "Why am I attached?" scream.
Heh HEh. Joking.
The two cuties were Devlin and Ryan.
They are the resident (strip) dancers at Gotham Penthouse.
They are hot.. they have hot buns.. they have hot moves and they have girls hot at their trail, screaming and grabbing...
Jackie is so kiasu, she wants them too..
We watched the show 3 times that night.
They had different songs for different sets.
They danced awesomely to the hip hop tunes and some slower jazz tunes.
Each time they took out their belt... or shirt button..
the crowd (mostly ladies of course).. would go wild.
They would then slap the belt hard accross the stage floor and more screams came..
Typical lah.
The boy audiences were yawning away. Either bored, indifferent, disgusted or just uncomfortable. Heh heh.
So.. after the second show. They asked me whom I think was the cutest dancer.
I thought let's go for the blondest one. Devlin.
He's really tall, he's really cute and he looks really young.
So, before I knew it, Devlin came out of nowhere, grabbed my hand and pulled me to a corner, with empty seats.
Ah.. here comes the private strip dance. And guess what (no price for guessing), Jackie joined the show!!! She just have to come and steal some thunder. hahaha..
I was excited yet scared. I think I wasn't exactly enjoying it. I was a bit apprehensive. I was like: Is this OK?
I mean, I don't know how guys feel about girls stripping, probably very happy lah. But a guy stripping for me? A bit funny leh. I feel like I am still the one violated. Heh Heh.
But nonetheless, this will be once in a lifetime. Or.. well.. maybe one during the hen's night. So I just went along and tried looking happy.
He still kept his T shirt on at first, while gyrating his hot buns to a hip hop tune that I can hardly recall (understandable right?).
Jackie being Jackie, jumped into the scene and stole some light.
SHe wanted Devlin too.
She was screaming:
"Me ! Me ! This one got boyfriend ! I don't have!!"
which was a blatant lie..
I was on the other hand screaming (to Gan):
" I am sorry dear... I love you!! You the best!!!!"
Devlin started to loosen his jeans button.
Oh mang....
JAckie was studiously peeking into his various available crevices while I was already fainting away with too much laughter and screaming.
So that's it then.
GOTHAM PENTHOUSE! Well done lah..
I think give you guys a round of applause for going all the way out to entertain the girls in Singapore.
.
Gotham is located at CLarke Quay just above THE IVORY restaurant.
There is cover charge but hey, you get to oggle at 4 really hot bots with really hot buns.
They are friendly too.
Good place for hen's night. Idea. =)
OK LAH> That's it.. goodness each time I see those photoes, I still think they are damn obscene.
.
.
.
Happy belated birthday to myself.
Happy Birthday to my beloved dad, he joked with me that day and he loved the Raoul belt I sent him. I am happy =)
.
In fact, WIt said he started throwing away all his other belts =)
.
Also, I just watched TRANSFORMERS yesterday.
I wanna buy a car like that too. Optimus is so man. Optimus is like Mr Gan.
Super steady one. Just that Gan is not as strong cause he drinks too much beer and he's a lazy bum. But they are comparably cute.
.
OK MR Gan!!! I know you are reading this.. I still won't let you get a lapdance on your birthday OK!!
It's double standard one! I don't care.
But to celebrate your steadiness, I'd like to whore your pictures.
The devil eyed boyfriend
Handsome smiling boyfriend
Mr Gan is so steady he kept cool about the lap dance. Totally cool about it.
He was even encouraging Devlin to do more!
SIao Ta Bo!
I guess he knows that ultimately that didn't mean anything and I'd return to his arms rightfully =)

jinx: =)
Since the implementation of the meritocracy system, the percentage of malays accepted into local universities has increased every year. Do you believe that based on merit, the number of Chinese who qualify for university is lower than the number of malays?
If that is true, then the malays have improved by leaps and bounds, exceeding all the objectives of NEP.
But we only need to look at the PMR and SPM results to know that malay students lag far behind their Chinese counterparts. It is only when Chinese students take the STPM and the malay students take their matriculation examinations that suddenly, malay students become superior.
We live in a wonderful fairyland where ministers can say that the colour of milk is black and nobody dares to question it. Let us have the courage to face the truth, don't call an arbitrary system 'meritocracy'.
Stick to the previous quota system - at least the pitiful Chinese and Indian students will have a secure share of university places.
Racism is always the weapon.
Umno use Chinese as enemy to unite malays, just like unite Malaysians against Singaporeans. Hopefully, the younger generation malays learn the truth and not be blind by them.
I think all BN Chinese party is shit head who are just Umno lap dog. Wagging tail as Umno speak. Pathetic.
Government only pays to built mosque, have they ever pay a cent to built temple or church! Malaysians do have freedom of religion but to what extent? I think we all know how 'true' is that.
The racism will always stay because Umno is so one sided even though they say they treat all races equal.
The politicians want the public to keep feeling a bit jealous, hatred of each other. They lied to the public in believing the need of NEP by showing biased statistic. How many others actually benefit from it?
What their leader did actually does not benefit the malay community as a whole, only the rich and connected malays.
Public listed companies must have at least 30% hold by malays. Indeed in reality the percentage is higher, but why the malay community is still lagging? Who can be part of the 30%? The rich and connected malays? Yes!
The politicians are afraid that if the public united and 'forced' BN (or should we say Umno) out of political field.
Yes, any politicians that continue to play the racist card - Beware! Your days are numbered!
If anything, the malay race's main downfall is their inability to compete without crutches. Say what you will against the Chinese and the Indians, but unless the malays look upon ourselves in the mirror, we shall see who our 'real' enemies are.
Best thing is Malaysia history being altered to say all hero in Malaysia are only malays. Pathetic! This will only further split all of us.
If they managed to unfortunately cause another race riot, do you think at the end of the day - life will be better for the malays? The answer is no - race riot or tension is like a civil war - it weaken the country and invite outside interference.
Malaysia to be developed status is a joke in year 2020. Developed status is not on economically but politically and socially.
Those who feel hurt and challenged should not just sit back and complain, stand up and do something about it.
We are fellow countrymen should stand up and achieve our visions together.
I seriously think malays should learn how to stand on their own feet instead of blaming non-malays for their own failure. Without the hardworking non-malays, Malaysia government won't have money to subsidy the hardly work malays.
Institutional discrimination and NEP have brought negative effect to malays competitiveness and mindset.
I need to remind you; don't fool by this protectionism. Like APs, government contract, government land, government loan, government subsidy.
Tell me how many poor malays able to access to these goodies or did you get something from the list above! The grass-root malays have being cheated by the rich malays for supporting the NEP.
Only those rich malays have connection for these programs. Malaysia automobile policy has only created four APs kings vs. thousand poor malays. Wake up, your own people have cheated you not the non-malays.
Here is the following list of near bankrupt GLCs:
(They are direct GLCs or indirect GLCs via EPF, Tabung Haji or other government agency.)
(1) Bank Bumi (no longer exist)
(2) Bank Islam (looking for capital injection)
(3) IntraKota
(4) MAS
(5) Park May
(6) Perwaja
(7) Proton
(8) Putra LRT
(9) Renong
(10) Star LRT
It is about the wake up call for the malays. NEP will make malays as good as a 'katak dalam tempurung'.
Whatever you think may not be whatever it is. Non-malays never forbid malays to open their own business. Non-malays never ask malays to be not hardworking. I only hear non-malays complaint malays not work hard enough.
When malays choose not to work hard, please do not stop others to work hard by imposed regulation and rule such as permit or quota to stop someone to excel.
Why can't malays look beyond what is the protection? I never suggest take away all the protection; I know malays did not ready for that. But malays like you so scare to dare not even try for partial of the protection.
If this situation prolong, malays forever will live inside the protective area just like Red Indians live in their conservation.
I live in USA before, I used to work as an IT consultant. My pay was similar to the local white guys. They never treat me as a foreigner. I easily get a place for my MBA with a state scholarship. I never get discriminated even I have different skin color as them.
Yes, the income tax is high - 35%, sales tax is 7%; every time you buy anything you have to pay extra 7% for the goods; but when I call the city police regarding my car key being lock inside my car, they reach the site within 10 minutes. The best thing is the police never ask me for coffee money but some friendly advice for me to carry a spare key in my wallet.
I don't know where did one get the impression that USA is discriminate against foreigners. They know everyone in USA is foreigner. The black getting more scholarship than the white but the black don't like the book instead of drug/gun.
Protectionism will not able to broaden malays horizon. The best defend is reach out. Do not hide inside your protested area. It won't work. Learn how to proactive and reach out. Just like the fish in the river, either you being push down stream by the current or you constantly swim to stay ahead.
Malaysia is the only country in the world where the constitution itself (no less) says that a particular race has to belong a particular religion. No other country follows this ruling. Not even Arabia (birthplace of Islam) or Indonesia (largest Muslim population).
No surprising with such emotion running high: More to emigrate. This is brain drain. Bolehland has no vision for its all people except for the Umno malays.
Who not afraid of the keris waving politician? Even my malay classmate emigrated to New Zealand recently, sick of the polemics and the politicising of religion here, good thing got money shall travel, no money no talk.
Should have left 10 years ago when I saw that we have no equal opportunities. But I hesitated and said there will be a change when Badawi takes over. Well! Guess that was not the case. It got worse and the future of Malaysia is bleak!
Pack my back and left the place to look for better opportunities and fight on merits. I am better off in Australia than the "dark hole" of Malaysia. At least you get respected for your recognition and skill. In Malaysia, how good you are is always a second class citizen. No promotion for us but their own kind.
NEP to malays is like drug to drug addicts. Once they started to taste it, they will never let go till they die. Tough they all know very well NEP is just like drug, not good for them in the long run, but they can't resist the short term temptation and fall deeper and deeper into the abyss of NEP.
Since now, the NEP had become Never Ending Policy, the little hope of getting out of the NEP drug will dismiss and leading to the destruction of the malays. By then maybe all the able non-malays had already emigrated to greener pasture in overseas. I forecast 2020 year is the doom day. Thanks to selfish Umno malays.
We are at our own liberty not to live in this controversial country. The government does not discourage us to leave this country. For Chinese and Indians, Malaysia perhaps is not a good place to stay because your mother countries to with China and India are now thriving. Just leave malays to manage their own country. Let Malaysia ruin with the malays.
The Chinese culture is compatible to other cultures in the world. The Chinese will have no problem adapt to other cultures in the world. There are many China Towns in overseas countries. So the Malaysian Chinese will feel at home wherever they go.
Real sick and tired of all these Umno babiputras, the sob in Malaysia Umno babiputras!
Yes, the only realistic proposition is encourage all Chinese to emigrate to Singapore and leave Malaysia for the malays. Trouble is Singapore is so small, its land mass will not allow a huge population to live in the island.
So next choice for the Chinese to emigrate is to Australia and New Zealand. The exodus has begun. Those who can afford now have started to go. The signs are already there.
There is no future in this country anymore. In a few years time this country will be in ruins when the oil money runs dry. FDI has already dry up and gone to other countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Foreign factories have closed shop migrated to China and India.
Chinese planning to emigrate should also consider option to return to China. Some of my friends went to invest there and within a few years become millionaires. There are much more opportunities and being Chinese there shouldn't be any problem.
By my own experience I can tell you that it is great being a new citizen in Singapore. You are judged by what you can contribute and not but some NEP policies.
The education in Singapore is also about the best in the world. Yes, even the educators from the native English-speaking countries adopt how mathematics and science are taught here.
Best of all, every time you cross the causeway to visit Malaysia you are rewarded by at least 2 or 3 times in your spending capability.
Oops……….now that this is happening, in the next 5 - 10 years, Malaysia will end up looking like the Philippines, where their main export is maids. Lack of income from tax, will see economy melt down. Skilled professionals all fled from the country.
Yes and having lived overseas, I have a nice bird's eye view of how Malaysia is heading towards the sewers.
Malaysia has spent the last 3 decades focusing on physical infrastructure without developing the human capital. Never mind the restrictions and stifling of independent minds - let us not even go there yet.
Let us start with basic education and providing of higher education opportunities for the best and brightest. We have cultivated at least 2 generations of dumbass.
Too many unqualified malays have been force fed into colleges and universities and the end result is you have the same bunch of witless village idiots, except now they are holding a piece of paper they don't know what to do with. A minority is absorbed back into the tertiary education system……….no prizes for guessing what that has caused over the last 30 years.
For the majority remaining, real world corporations wouldn't even hire them if they offered to work for free. So you have a bunch of jobless numbskulls who think they are too good for the common labor jobs, which they would have ended up in anyways given their aptitude and qualification, and desire a pen-pushing corporate position (if they could push that pen to string one coherent sentence in English, that would be another thing).
So we bring in all sorts of foreign labors to do our work for us, and we have a youth bulge of unemployable (and grossly unqualified) graduates walking around with a sense of entitlement.
Sounds familiar? It should. This is what is happening in the Middle East.
This trend towards greater Islamic extremism is also no coincidence. It is merely the natural path of development that a failed society embarks upon.
The malays have failed. Plain and simple. Their policies stink, they have screwed themselves more than they have others, in fact. The only reason the shit hasn't hit the fan sooner is because, like their desert co-religionists, they have petroleum propping them up.
That will go soon……….not totally, but it won't be at the present rate it props the country up. And it is closer than you think.
Those who can should emigrate and get the hell out - and that includes our malay brothers and sisters who have the means to. When the dust settles, no amount of cyber cities, longest bridges and tallest buildings, are going to save you from the disaster of a fourth world country that is being developed.
I am one of the cows applying for migration. How do I feel? I feel that the world is my home. If I am not treated well here, I will go to another country.
It is not about fighting for the country or fighting for the world. I am fighting for a better life and that is what everyone craves for.
Anyway why limit ourselves to one country when we can explore to other places. We only leave once, make the best out of it.
Well, the most popular countries to emigrate are Australia, New Zealand and USA. For those who wanted to emigrate to any of these countries and not prepare to pay the extra migration agent fees should consider apply themselves, it is not difficult as long as you meet the respective country criteria.
I know because I am a migrant myself and I helped my friends to emigrate to all those countries in the past three years.
As I had said, it is free economy that work!
Do you believe that the teacher love your kid more than you?
Do you believe that the headmaster love your kid more than you?
Do you believe that the education minister love your kid more than you?
If the above answer is NO, why don't they give the right and choice to choose the school, back into the hand of the parent?
The problem in Malaysia is the government want to control everything! Down to the sugar price! They do it in the name of the citizens! By using a navy ship to deliver sugar is another form of subsidiary to the sugar factory, you are in fact using state resources!
The more you let the bureaucrats to control our everyday life, the more problems and ineffective the citizens will face!
I am not a racist and it is the fact of my experience that sad to say many of them (malays) have the habit of blaming others for their own failures to gain success in many aspects of life - and keep on blaming others for their own prideful (which could be "inferiority") of not able to accept others corrections, constructive criticisms for their weakness (don't want to be challenged in order to be improved, competitive and better) and being jealous of others success.
Always thinking that they have the sole ownership over Malaysia and others do not have even though born in Malaysia.
Never remember that it is God who created all of us in this land (those who born in Malaysia - no matters what races) and shall be given equal right to live on this land. (If not so, it means God is not fair! But God is just and fair!)
So why Umno/malays whom self proclaiming themselves is God-fearing people but still embrace such an unfair and discriminating policy (they have no shame to say it is a positive discriminating policy) in this nation which taking advantages of others races results of hard works and efforts for their own benefits.
To whom embrace such policy is a true liar, injustice and hypocrite group of people - Shame on this group of people (always ask people to leave the place where we born)!
Malaysia is a corrupt and racist country and that is the reason we have this malay dilemma.
This malay dilemma exists because of one person, that is, the leader of that race. If the leader is corrupt and racist, we will have all sort of dilemmas - the Barisan dilemma, the Chinese dilemma, the Indian dilemma, the Malay dilemma, the NEP dilemma, the Proton dilemma, the Scenic Bridge dilemma, etc. The list is dilemmatic and is endless……….
Yes, this corrupt racist is dilemmatic but yet was at the helm steering Malaysia into dilemmatic waters, that is why Bolehland is having all sorts of dilemmas in Malaysia, not only the malay dilemma!
The definition of a system is defined as several components linked together so that when an input is applied to the system, the desired output is attained! It is up to individual to choose any one of such systems and applying it to the day to day lifestyle living.
There are efficient systems and inefficient systems. And every system is operated by different components in the systems. If a system is to work efficiently and systematically, each of the components is to function the tasks assigned to that individual component accordingly.
A system can work efficiently with a favorable environment, abundant natural resources and most of all intelligent human resources. The most important component of an efficient system is the human component!
Malaysia can create the best system in the universe but if we have a corrupt and racist operator managing the Malaysia dilemmatic system, what do you expect the outputs of this corrupt and racist dilemmatic system?
Hence the axiom, garbage in and garbage out (GIGO) as illustrated in a computer system.
If the Malaysia quality system is to work efficiently, harmoniously, peacefully and prosperously, all the components got to link together and work diligently and efficiently. Then the Malaysia system will produce quality production!
Now if the malay component is practicing corruption, cronyism, deviant religion, misuse of funds, judiciary, powers, and NEP, nepotism, racial discrimination, and etc etc, can anybody expect such Malaysia system to work efficiently? Can MAS, Perwaja, Proton, the government systems work efficiently?
The mockery of the corrupt and racist Malaysia dilemmatic system is that when an input is fed into this system, there is no output from this corrupt and racist dilemmatic system, it is all devoured by the various corrupt components in the corrupt and racist system!
As long as Malaysia is having this corrupt and racist dilemmatic system, we will have the Bolehland dilemma, the Chinese, Iban, Indian, Jakun, Kadazan, Malay, Sakai etc dilemmas, the Malaysian dilemma, and etc.
We can see the obvious problems to the Malaysia dilemma and the solution to this dilemma is to overhaul the corrupt, inefficient, problematic and racist dilemmatic system and replace it with a clean, effective and efficient quality system.
This implies all components in the system got to work effectively, efficiently and impartially according to nature laws - not the deviant religious laws, fancy laws, jungle laws and whim laws.
And what are nature laws? Nature laws are the efficient application of natural resources for human benefits and needs. Not the prodigal and raping use of natural resources for personal luxuries!
Yes, Malaysia wants qualitative production, not quantitative production!
So, for an efficient, harmonious, peaceful and prosperous Bolehland, Malaysia must adopt the best component, the best operator and the best system.
That is why Malaysia needs a corrupt and racist free, quality system with quality district, parliament, state councils, quality judiciary, quality leaders and quality Malaysians in order to achieve quality production!
Stereotyping someone base on their race and religion just prove that you are being utterly inconsiderate and racist - no difference from Adolf Hitler.
If you are dissatisfied with unfair policies imposed by the government, do something constructive rather as posting hateful and non-sensible messages here.
True, the policies are upheld by the ruling party which are overwhelmingly malays, but there are more positively ways to encourage the abolishment of such policies, such as - promoting racial understanding by putting yourself in the shoes of a malay, than to disseminate rude and spiteful remarks here, which serves to do nothing but to create more angers and tensions against each other.
One thing you got it right - the way the government works is all to blame.
Our political elites have been maintaining draconian laws and racist policies to keep themselves in power while enriching their own cronies at the same time - without sparing malays or commoners of other races.
Direct your anger there, do whatever you want to those who are really responsible. Don't bark up the wrong tree.
Well said, we wish you well and kindly dismiss those who question your motive or patriotism. These are the bigots whose 'hidden agenda' and myopic vision that is keeping this wonderful bountiful country for progressing.
If you are emigrating for your kids education, you have made a right decision. Remember your kids will be influenced by the good and bad values overseas.
The ideal age for emigration is 16 years old or less. That is why your kids will make it in their careers and settle down successfully overseas.
Well done. Welcome to western culture where there are:
1. Equal opportunity regardless or race or religion
2. Environmental Awareness
3. Government subsidised healthcare
4. Government subsidised tertiary education as well as primary and secondary schools
5. Higher quality living
6. Protection of the labour market via enforced minimum wage across all industry sectors
7. Social welfare standards
8. Unconditional democracy
In the globalization era, we are truly citizens of the world and it is no shame to relocate to 'greener pastures' should you have the ability and the means. Why stay in a place where there are blatant abuse, discrimination and limited prospect for those unconnected!
Feudalistic rules are maintained to fleece the masses, where the titled and corrupted are the 'untouchables' but honest and hardworking citizens must bear the full brunt of the law (and taxed to the hilt).
'There is more than enough to feed the world but not enough to feed the greedy.'
If you compute the cost of sending 2 children to an oversea university (probably RM200k to RM500k), it is more cost effective to emigrate even if it paying a bit more tax or giving up a cushion job to enter into the uncharted waters.
If you made it here with an ever-moving goal post; I don't think it will be hard for you to find your niche in a level playing field.
Farewell but do keep us in your prayers.
Emigration and migration of human beings is a pre-requisite of human development and progress. Without migration, human beings would be doomed to an existence worse than that of animals. Even animals migrate to seek a better habitat.
Patriotism is not a one-way thing, it is a two-way commitment. If one finds that one's loyalty and patriotism is not reciprocated as having to live with a corrupt government, discriminatory policies, inhumane and repressive laws etc, one has a right to review one's commitment and patriotism if one so chooses.
Why would people stay if their talents are not recognised in their own country and they do not have the opportunities to develop their potential? Why remain when they can have these opportunities in another country?
Indeed, it is very fortunate that we all live in this day and age of globalisation where we are free to live and work anywhere in the world as long as we have the skill and talent.
There is much less reason now to put up with bad governments, or corrupt, oppressive and racist regimes, anywhere in the world.
Of course the grass is never greener on the other side. You still need the same energy, enterprise and sometimes luck to make it. But there is no doubt in my mind and in those who have worked here and overseas - the playing field is more level abroad.
Whilst, I may add that most lower, middle-class Malaysian citizens and professionals are the main bulk of immigrants to countries abroad. They need to get settled first and have a few contacts to start life anew.
To expect them to be millionaires in businesses will take a generation or more and we are beginning to see that now. If they had not emigrated, they would have been hard pressed to send their children abroad and everybody knows the quota system for universities, jobs, job opportunities and promotions back home.
In Canada, we experience the best there is in life. Every citizen has equal rights. They have done well in every aspect of life.
In the US, anyone whether black, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Mexican etc, has the right to run for president. There are no restrictions, one only needs to secure the votes.
Nobody should operate under the assumption that migration is a bed of sweet, smelling roses. Roses have thorns.
Certainly, migration is not a dirty word. In fact, migration is the reason for this multiethnic paradise I call home today. The question is, can Malaysia retain its talents?
We are simply losing good people to the more developed countries, and this problem is also faced by other countries such as China and India.
Singapore has been absorbing our talents regardless of the medium of instruction they have been taught in.
Perhaps the biggest slap on our face is the fact that thousands and thousands of Malaysians have been recruited to bloom in the Lion City's workforce, while our own industry leaders have done nothing to help the government keep these investments from going abroad.
Many people leave the country for a variety of reasons. Some leave for economic reason, some for better education, some over concerns for the climate of democracy in their home country.
There is no reason to deride any migrant for their choices in life. Every human being is entitled to the right of physical, social and geographical mobility - you seek your place on earth and call it home.
So leave if you must, go while you can, but don't give up on the march. That is a worthy sacrifice that requires courage.
Congratulations to those who have found a better future in life.
