I refer to the government’s Greater Kuala Lumpur plan. Giving a name to something will help with identification and bring the subject matter into focus.
However, the optimum growth of a region or area is a monumental task. It requires massive human capital.
The governments of some countries are smart enough to embrace foreign talent. If our brightest our given every opportunity to take part fully in nation building, the additional wealth generated may be able to provide safety nets for many Malaysians that need help.
As such, the setting up of Malaysia’s Talent Corporation to reverse the brain drain is timely. However, it may prove harder to retain the Malaysian diaspora as they are used to universal best practices.
For a start, are we up to the challenge for greater transparency that would deny opportunities to those feeding on the nation’s fat?
