Running an interactive agency, I personally have more faith in AJaX. AJax combined with Flash can give unlimited possibilities & user-centric design development for the future of the web. Next gen. web applications will be using AJaX [atleast if not others, we are already started exploring for our client projects]since the load to the server will be reduced & client side intelligence can be given. This will reduce a lot of footballing between the client page & the web server, thus, increase usability of the application & allows faster transactions happening.

First of all, are we (the non-bumis, that is) really to believe that the government will abolish or tone down the New Economic Policy in the near future? We must be realistic, if you have the right to buy a property at a discount and have scholarships for your children, would you let go of these rights?

With Chinese population dwindling in Malaysia, what needs to be done depends on the Chinese themselves.

There is nothing wrong with the brain drain. In fact, we should encourage our children to move to Singapore, China, Taiwan etc. if we disagree with Malaysian government policies that are based on race and religion.

When it comes to the matter of the dwindling number of Chinese Malaysians, we should talk about quality, not quantity.

We should resolve why the Chinese-Malaysian population is reducing. Official figures have more than one million Chinese Malaysians emigrating over the past 25 years. Why did they emigrate? I am sure the government knows.

Straight A students can't get scholarships or university places. Nothing new, it's been that way for the past 35 years. Nowadays, even enlightened Malay Malaysians are speaking up on this injustice. The MCA and Gerakan? Busy making money from private colleges.

What's so great about having TAR College or Utar which took more than 35 years of begging? Why should it be so difficult to set up an independent university when we have scores of public ones?

While we push young talented people away, other countries notably Singapore, the US and Australia welcome them with open arms.

Is it logical that we drive away our young talented ones and then invite retired Mat Sallehs to live here and exploit our low-cost of living?

Singapore's success in particular owes much to these ex-Malaysians or their descendants including Goh Keng Swee, Hon Sui Sen, Goh Chok Tong, just to name a few.

About 30 percent of top management in both Singapore's government and corporate sector are ex-Malaysians. We export them so that Singapore can compete with, and then whack us.

Korea and Taiwan, both way behind us in the 70s and 80s are now way ahead. Thailand is breathing down our necks.

Sadly, there is just no integrity in the nation's leadership

I emigrated to the UK from Malaysia as a child after the infamous riots where was 35 years ago and things have not changed much.

It is common to read in the Malaysian tabloids that these uncivilised malay buggers rape their own daughters and perform other disgusting acts.

I have no regrets at all when I surrendered my Malaysian passport and took up British nationality.

My advice to all oversea Chinese is to avoid Malaysia like the plague.

You know something - once outside the perimeters of Malaysia, these malay savages are so small in value even a dog has more value than them!

"The Malay Dilemma" revealing the weaknesses of malays. But did they do something to amend their weaknesses using the correct way, like work harder, compete equally etc?

They did with the fastest way, implementing unfair policies. How many of you all will agree that the policies are not benefiting the malays?

From the economy to the education system and to the society, all policies were meant to "close" their mind and body.

In Pak Lah announce that NEP will stay, as long as the gap between the poor and the rich exists. In a free economy, this will always be the case. How can the gap be narrowed if they do not work hard?

Just ask any economists how an economy works.

Let's assume that they are trying to perform transferring wealth to the poor in this way, it would be better to practice socialism or communism, where everything belongs to the country and no personal assets are allowed.

After 35 years of NEP, how has it benefited the country as a whole?

No one benefited in the end except those in power.

Yes, a lot of non-malays in Malaysia are leaving this country. But what the hell, they (pig) don't care. They are happy that we leave.

I do agree with you of those you mentioned, our country is stepping backward, we are loosing in all aspects and yet overdue and retard ministers are still available on shelf. The ministers think that they are the only ones capable and qualified to be there and not replaceable, otherwise the country could collapse.

Looking at Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq likes looking at this country future. The well connected bumis are getting richer. This government is spoon feeding the bumis at this nation expense. I am sick of this country too.

My advise is let them rot in their own stew.

Posted by run away

I left the country some 20 years ago. I am very glad I made that decision. My children got the education they desired and both enjoying their chosen professions after completing university studies.

I enjoy tremendously living and contributing to my adopted country. I am an IT professional, so are many of my friends who left Malaysia with me in the 1980s.

Most of our children are professionals in their own rights. They earned their places in the society on their own merits. Many of them are in the engineering, financial, IT, legal and medical professions.

Dare I say many of them won various scholarships throughout their academic pursuits. Oh Malaysia! You don't know how much you have lost……….

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

I would never come back to Malaysia. It sucks……….control of malays. They have no rights for Chinese or whatsoever. The Chinese, Indians and other races worked hard to pay their tax while the malays just spend it. Where is the right?

I did watch a documentary on the history of Singapore……….few days ago……….There is an incident of the joining of Singapore and Malaysia.

The main reason Mr Lee Kuan Yew doesn't want to join with Malaysia is because Tunku Abdul Rahman wanted the malays to stay power on the political side and the others be second class citizens.

If during that time Tunku Abdul Rahman were to treat everyone the same……….Malaysia will be as rich and famous as Singapore today.

Malaysia has one of the lowest tax rates in the world. Our foreign investment has been dwindling since China and Vietnam opening its doors.

If one takes poison a little bit a day, he will feel sick and die young unless he stops taking it before it is too late.

NEP is a poison, and it is the source of all troubles facing the Bolehland before our eyes. Bolehland will get weaker as its natural resources get depleted.

Most of its citizens are only strong in consumption activities and pretty soon - Burma would be ahead of us economically. Burma will surely thank Umno for the easy contest.

It is a sorry state of affair. We have already lost so many talents to Singapore. The really capable people do not get any chance in this Bolehland.

The future is bleak, however good enough for mediocre - those who have no ambition, at least for the time being.

In reality, we want to ask: How long this thing will go on? Malaysia will eventually lose out to most other Asia members. It is just a matter of time.

I fail to understand when we are probably spending a few billion dollars to "cure" MAS, then there is Proton, Bank Negara screw ups and cannot forget Pewaja steel?

We can't ignore all the fail projects too……….a few millions here a few millions there will add up to a pretty penny.

Where does all this money comes from? Petronas? EPF? And how all this money flowing out still translates to a 5% growth in GDP?

In Bolehland, everything is ok. We accept everything graciously.

Corruption no problem. GLCs losses no problem. Police abuse no problem. Sex scandal no problem.

This MAS loss is not the first or the last, also no problem.

We also have accepted same present government ever since independence that created all these wonderful news without problem too.

This is Bolehland. Everything boleh. Keep it up Bolehland people.

Now, people like us have to bail them out……….No wonder, no wonder one says we have 1st class facility but 3rd class mentality. (I think we are worst than that……….)

What we are actually concerned is a system whereby bumis and non-bumis could find a reasonable living together, and equal opportunity for development in our own country.

The amount of money wasted, and siphoned out is so huge that perhaps if the fund is managed properly, today you and I need not to pay any income tax.

And if people demand changes, the politicians in power would use racial issue to manipulate and threaten to shut the people off.

As what one always says to me: "Freedom and fairness is not free, you have to fight for it!"

There is nothing to lose if you have made up your mind. Best wishes to you.

I agree that there are more opportunities outside Malaysia for non-malays if you don't have the right connections at home Malaysia. The pasture is definitely greener on the other side!

I went through the same process 16 years ago with my three children, and today, they are very successful in their respective careers. To these young qualified professionals, the world is their oyster.

16 years ago, by the racial discrimination in terms of quota system, my children had slimmed or no chance to enter local university which was the dream of every kid in those days.

With the comparison of the result with that of the outside world now, it is of no priority or consideration at all by the present generation.

It is like one says: "In the old days, students were forced to go overseas only when they could not secure places in University Malaya. Now it is the reverse - students go overseas as a priority".

With the proficiency of the English language and substance (my children) they have, they have secured their professional jobs by choice and have the opportunity to work in Australia, then Singapore, then back to Australia, and one is still working in London because of the pursuit of a specialist course.

It is amazing that they could just secure their job with the submission of CV through Internet followed by telephone interviews. This is the type of ability that our present Malaya 60 thousands of unemployable graduates could not have.

Two my children have now settled down in Australia with secured jobs and one is still in London. However, three of them have secured on their own each with a residential property in Australia, and they are all at an age of below thirty.

We are no traitors as we use our own resources all the way unlike some government scholarship holders who spent away money and now refuse to go home to serve the country because they too find that overseas life is comfortable.

We cannot keep living in an environment where robbing A to pay B is a norm, and the world is now our children performing stage.

If we didn't move out in those days, my children would be in the present group of the 60 thousands unemployable graduates if they were lucky to be admitted to those local Malaysia university.

I am very happy with their achievements and what the say, "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime", is very true as my children really know how to fish and in such a manner, I can retire comfortably in my twilight years. I suppose this is my harvest time.

It should be an interesting study on how Singapore has capitalised on the failure of the NEP, and the Malaysian system where we removed all the Sultans powers and replaced them with politicians, who now rule our lives through devious means.

Each year, Singapore attracts hundreds of our best and brightest.

Even my malay friends advise me not to go back Malaysia after completing my PhD here. It is a well-known fact that no matter how hard they strive, they will never be able to go to the top.

This comes from the horse mouth of a group of foreign experts and researchers in my university. Just feel a bit embarrass when they told me this. But have to admit. After all, it is the truth, nothing but the truth.

Meritocracy in Malaysia? We must be in the land of fantasy! With the present socio-political status quo, Vision 2020 is nothing but a mere mirage.

Why is that so? Because it is creating a mediocre-minded culture that drives away excellent-minded non-malays and malays.

Can you work in an environment where merit is not rewarded?

As long as the blatant, shameless policy of rewarding only the mediocre, and denying opportunities to the best, based merely on one race and religion, the obviously myopic leaders of this country are ensuring that this country will go down to the dogs in the not too distant future.

The standard of English language in Malaysia going down to the dogs is one fine example of our leaders myopic policies.

A lot of things change for those who leave. Once you are in Singapore, much pressure is "applied" to keep you there.

The programs in Singapore are structured in such a way to make sure that the "immigrants" would stay after completing their studies. Many take up Singaporean citizenships after many years of agony and contemplation.

This normally happens after one finds his/her spouse. Practical considerations come in; idealism flies away.

These "Malaysians" never forget their Malaysians past. But as the days, weeks, months, years go by, they slowly lose their Malaysians and become one of those floating masses in the global village. (I have met Malaysians of this kind in all sorts of odd places in different parts of the world.)

Make no mistake - however - most of them are very successful.

The malays do not live in this country alone. Malaysia is made up of all the races. Everybody looks the same when they send out the tax forms. In fact, our economy will be doomed if one of the component of our multi-racial society suddenly vanished.

Our overseas brains refuse to come back. Capable brains here not valued, and they want to leave. The rotting education system stops producing capable brains. Overseas countries are "fishing" for smart brains worldwide. Added together..........you get the brain drain effect.

Unless there is a structural change in our mindset to set things right, we will continue talking about the same thing for the next 100 years.

Many, many thanks for all pertinent comments……….I agree with most of them, being in a similar position myself……….

Points taken. Get a little bit nasty, but that is some facts.

I am an engineer. Like architect and other parties, we design and built houses based on the developer's vision and decision. If the house is very small, poor design, bad finishes but still at an unreasonable high price, I will walk away.

I will advice my friends not to buy it, based on my professional experience and some logic, it is not that difficult, really. But it is their money, they have the freedom to decide what they wanted to do with it.

But believe it or not, someone will still stay there. Can't even afford to buy, consider lucky if they are able to clear the monthly rental.

And I have some malay friends, thinking of emigrating, mainly because most Muslims Malaysia here didn't see things the way they saw it, especially on the religion matters. Oh yes, some perceptions never really change throughout the years.

Once a while I will still welcome my uncle from Australia to visit us here. He is one lucky emigrant, I guess, he is well taken care over there.

It is very sad, it is so sad to see Malaysia's brightest minds are all over the world except Malaysia.

The person who is researching into getting water for Singapore is a Malaysian. The head of Parapsychology in Cambridge is Malaysian. The best doctors in the world many are Malaysians.

Yet, they are nowhere near Malaysia.

In Singapore, it is fast and efficient to get a permanent resident. In fact, foreigners in Singapore are invited to become permanent citizens. Here Malaysia, it takes years and years and years and……….to even be considered to become a permanent citizen. I heard of foreigner whose application was lost and had to resubmit. How is that?

All this while I think many of us are dying to go to Australia, Europe, the US, for a better future……….

I called my newfound friend earlier who works in Singapore. Somehow, the conversation ended up on Malaysians holding top positions in Singapore.

Well, I have a good friend who is currently working with a top-notch investment company in Singapore. When my new friend found out, immediately said, "No wonder that Pak Lah person was mentioning about the brain drain in Malaysia!"

Well, I know a lot of doctors and scientists are working overseas. A number of my school alumni are actually working overseas and not in Malaysia. Some are doing well in Boston, London, to name a few. It is even funnier to hear stories of some of my school alumni to accidentally meet each other when they are overseas. Yes, my school is guilty for contributing to the brain drain……….

Closer to home, I wonder if Pak Lah knows about our own Malaysian companies that are also contributing to the brain drain. No name mentioned, but I know of one company, due to the change in business process has forced a number of the disgruntled staff to leave the company.

The worse thing, these staff left and joined the competitors that are not Malaysian owned. And even worse, some staff actually decided to leave Malaysia and work at greener pastures.

They could have stayed in Malaysia, but no company in Malaysia could afford to pay the expected salary due to the staff being former scholars and studied overseas during the economic crisis.

Sad really. Now wonder why Pak Lah has an uphill task.

Clearly, there has always been movement of highly skilled people in and out of a country. If there is brain drain from a particular country, it can scarcely develop. On the other hand, if it can keep its talents and successfully attract its skilled citizens to return as well as foreign talents to come, it will prosper.

While a Always On world is a nice to have scenario, a Always Available world (Ocassionally connected) scenario is more likely to be common for application design globally.

Posted by Srinivas

This always-on,connected, personal world where all devices would talk to each other-the mobile, the TV, your primary computer, etc. is going to really impact personal productivity by a factor of X5 or X10.The one thing that perhaps needs to be addressed is the compatibility of these various devices. I mean it bothers me that the mobile phone I have does not sync with my mail client or that in future I would have issues with this across other devices as well. What I mean to say is that the conectivity across devices must be platform-secular if that is the right term. This needs to get addressed in an organised manner at the outset, else I foresee hassled users and stunted growth of this wonderful future that is out there in the making for us.

Rajesh, it will be nice if in your writings you can cover this and suggest a way out. If there are contrary views or suggestions, it will be good to hear them.
