This shows the difference between Indian and Chinese graduates.Many Indian graduates seek employment in the US and hold high positions in US companies, while Chinese graduates return to China to participate in building up their own country. This has been going on for many years and this is partly the reason for China’s massive growth over the years.Indian graduates need to be more nationalistic and return to India to help to build their own country up.EDIT 11 Jan 2021This concerns the comments below about China providing job opportunities as a reason for the graduates returning to China. I agree that this is true based on my own experience in the IT industry in Malaysia.Ever since the 1990s (could have been earlier) until about 2010, we regularly received calls from IT companies in India asking us to outsource application development to them because they are cheaper. And many programmers from India came to Malaysia to work on projects. I believe Malaysia is just one of many countries that the Indians approach. This indicates a lack of jobs in India.But there is another difference between India and China. While China is internationally well known for Alibaba, Weibo, Wechat, Tencent, etc, India is not known for similar things. Somehow, I get the impression that Indians choose to work for others instead of developing something for themselves. And the US provides many opportunities to work for others. Some Chinese graduates, on the other hand, prefer to create something for themselves.

When Indonesia finally gets its act together its going to be awesome. It has a huge population ready and willing to take over global manufacturing as China becomes a mature economy and labour costs increase. But to do so there must be foreign investment and know-how and this in turn requires a stable government willing to resist the imposition of Sharia law and to stamp out militant Islam. It needs transparency in judicial matters and separation of powers between the legislature and judiciary. Corruption must be weeded out.In some ways Malaysia has already trodden this path. Unlike Indonesia which was largely abandoned by its Dutch colonial masters, Malaysia inherited strong governmental and judicial systems from the British and has used these as a foundation on which to build them even stronger - in an Asian context.Consequently Malaysia has benefitted from foreign direct investment and already has a strong manufacturing base. It has largely ignored the lure of international finance, preferring to leave that to Singapore.Both Malaysia and Indonesia are works in progress but Malaysia is further along the path. However recent corruption scandals have tarnished its image and it will need to fight hard to recover the lost ground.While Malaysia still has significant potential for growth it lacks the sheer population size that Indonesia has. So eventually it will be overtaken but when that will happen it is impossible to predict when comparing two countries that put Islam front and centre of everything else.Moderate Islam is nothing to fear. Its the radical version that holds countries back from achieving their full potential. That includes the fundamentalist Arab nations who rely on their oil wealth to gain global power and play their proxy war games to the detriment of poorer nations in the Middle East where these endless sectarian wars are fought.Edit: I gather that Malaysia is now insisting that all applications for expatriate employment passes be subject to the position being advertised on the MyFutureJob (SOCSO) website for 30 days and “no suitable local employee can be found”. This applies to EP renewals too. This may seem logical given the current poor employment situation in Malaysia but is in direct contravention to the assurances given to foreign employers by MITI who suggest that foreign investors can bring in their own employees to protect their interests in their Malaysian operations. Japanese and US FDI’s are particularly keen on this. So this new ruling overrides that MITI assurance and will damage FDI in Malaysia dramatically if it is applied rigorously.My guess however is that it will be just another window-dressing initiative like Talent Corp. Senior executives of the Malaysian subsidiaries of foreign companies are routinely expected to report on operational issues and provide progress reports, often verbally by presentations to Head Office. A local hire will rarely have the skillset to manage this in a very different corporate culture and often in a different language.This expat requirement does not however stop at C-suite level executives. Trainers, QC managers, R&D managers, audit controllers and capacity planners are usually expats too because of the close association needed with the overseas parent company.My guess is that one way or another expats will continue to be employed in all these positions in existing FDI’s and this latest regulation will be largely “worked around”. But it is yet another disincentive for new FDI in Malaysia, where average incomes have risen to an extent that Malaysias competitive advantage over its neighbours is heavily eroded in any case. So this initiative designed to improve employment prospects for a handful of senior positions may have a dramatic and adverse effect on the employment prospects of the lower grades as foreign companies decide to set up shop where the Government does not tell them how to run their business.Edit 2. It has just been announced that Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore achieved 80% of FDI in ASEAN in 2019. Malaysia managed just 5%. Google and Amazon are planning to set up their ASEAN HQs in Indonesia.The sleeping giant awakes.

Due to lack of opportunities for career advancement and money.To set the record straight I am now back in Malaysia and doing business in Malaysia but my answer will be focused on why I left back then.I left Malaysia for Singapore in about year 2008 because at age 22/23, I was already earning the maximum salaried potential that I could given my age range and position. If I advanced further, the pay would not have been justified to most Malaysian businesses because either it would probably be on par with a general manager which has served for more than 10 years or they would deem that I was ‘too young’ to receive such compensation.So the only way out for me at that point in time after receiving an advice from a friend of mine, was to take advantage of the exchange rates in Singapore by working there. Besides, Singapore always appreciated talent especially in the ever expanding field of IT which was what I had expertise in.When I started working in Singapore, I absolutely loved it because whatever you wanna say about it, it does operate largely on merit and skill-sets. It also didn’t hurt that I was a Malaysian which Singapore places a premium (due to compatibility in culture and language) when considering employment pass / residence applications.Once there, living costs was affordable and opportunities were endless as long as I was willing to work hard. I progressed very fast in terms of my pay-scale for my age at that point in time. And once again, I hit a wall because I was making all these money for my company and always had the desire to start a business. I did exactly that, sloughed it out a couple of years, sold the company and I am now back in Malaysia.Malaysia is an excellent place for business, but if you are looking for fast-paced career advancement, good compensation and an equal opportunity space, I think it has a lot of areas for improvement (compared to Singapore).
