This walking brain is taken from here.Brain drain: (n) The loss of skilled intellectual and technical labor through the movement of such labor to more favorable geographic, economic, or professional environments. [Answers.com]
I used to think that Malaysians who opt to work in other countries are selfish and materialistic. But now I take that back. Maybe their qualifications are appreciated elsewhere, and according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the highest level of motivation involves APPRECIATION and RECOGNITION. These professionals have got it all - the only thing left to motivate them is by boosting their self-esteems. I need to remember that in case God's plan sees me in management later on.

Anyway, brain drain might not be by choice. When opportunities come, one should grab them - that's logical, practical and pro-active. Besides, if one's own countrymen and women couldn't appreciate what one brings to the table, then does one have a choice apart from taking her/his glittering CV elsewhere?
