The number of skilled Malaysians returning from abroad under Talent Corporation Malaysia’s (TalentCorp) programs are sharply reduced, while its recruitment of foreign talents are on the rise.
According to figures released by TalentCorp, the firm was able to attract 900 people to return to Malaysia in 2013, but the figure has been reducing every year. Last year, TalentCorp’s Returning Experts Programme (REP) attracted only 398 people.
TalentCorp CEO Shareen Shariza Abdul Ghani said Malaysians who have spent an extended time abroad may not be familiar with the opportunities and growth back home.
Other challenges include personal factors, such as children’s education, being significant reasons preventing Malaysians from moving back to Malaysia.
