Penang - skilled people our greatest export

Penang, because of the size of its economy and its simple make-up, will never be "big or diverse" enough for it to absorb all of its talents....many of its citizens will have to go abroad to find careers that are fulfilling and that caters to its talents. Thus you find penang exporting its fairest and brightest overseas.....since time immemorial penang has been doing that...first to singapore, then the klang valley.....later all over the world...particularly the english speaking ones like uk, canada, australia and the us.......


i think not less than a quarter of my classmates are working overseas.....and its typical......the question is can a small country like malaysia afford to export its best talents overseas.....
