Malaysian talent practicing overseas were not only seeking for additional remuneration mate!

By indicating this, 'Make them an offer they can’t refuse', Tony Fernandes has indeed shown me that he has no inkling about humanities. Err, I also suspect his business acumen actually. I really think that his success with AirAsia is more to do with his association with the people in power and all.

I reckoned most Malaysian practicing overseas are not doing it due to better remuneration away from the country sake alone. It's the lifestyle and living condition. It's Freedom After Speech! The democratic living that they are enjoying away from Malaysia made them shy away further.

They will always come back for holidays tho'. Where else can you get cheap immitation products if not at Petaling Street, and pirated goods at Sungai Wang and Imbi Plaza?

Malaysia sucks really. If only I have the opportunity, I would go away as well, being a bumi-putra, as I am, I am not the least privilleged. That's astonishing! Not really.

Why am I not privilleged even though I am a bumiputra? Because I am not UMNO-putra!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh!

Make them an offer they can’t refuse, says CEO

KUALA LUMPUR: Companies here can lure Malaysian professionals working abroad back by making offers that are attractive, according to AirAsia Bhd chief operating officer Tony Fernandes.

His company has brought back 25 Malaysian pilots who were working for foreign airlines.

“We managed to get them by talking to them,” he said.

Fernandes, who presented a paper at the National Human Resources Summit 2005 said the Government should publicise its scheme to bring back Malaysian professionals.

The summit themed Harnessing Talent to Drive Organisational Performance was organised by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI).

Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr Fong Chan Onn, who launched the summit, told reporters that the Government's scheme to bring back professionals had not produced the expected results.

Only 300 of the 4,000 expected had returned home over the last five years, he said,
