Why Are Millions Leaving Malaysia: Britain's Fault? 

Nations like Malaysia is not a meritocracy...it's based on race and religion.

I was transferred and were working with an Eng firm in New Delhi for few years, Many Indian co-workers which i worked with, wants to migrate out from India. Now i'm back in Malaysia for good. Thank you British for making the right move by bringing my ancestors here, otherwise my generations would have suffered the pollutions, caste-system, poverty living in high density population, and worst case" open toilet "policy. Malaysia is still the best country regardless of what others think. Never heard Ananda Krsnan or Tony fernandez wanted to migrate out from Malaysia ,in fact they know how to use" multi-cultural" policy to improve their businesses. If Malaysia is truly racist country, there would be no Indian and Chinese billionaires produced here within.😉

I'm all in with the equal rights but the minorities would rather keep their children separated from mingling with other races at early age than to allow for them to assimilate and actually learn to live in a diverse community. As you mentioned, Chinese dominated the retails and businesses. Therefore, they have the power to priorities their own people when it comes to employment. Even if Malays, Chinese, and Indians are employed in the same company, eventually the Chinese are more likely to get more raise and bonuses compared to the other two. Not to mention that Chinese will always be given the biggest chance at climbing up the corporate ladder compared to Malays and Indians. This is the true reality of Malaysia.

😮🙏 Thank You So Much Econ 10 channel for standing & speaking up for many marginalized & victimized Malaysians by their racist & unfair national policies that backfired in many sectors rather than actually helping the needy Malaysians in the long run ... A lot of these racist policies crippled the Malaysian competitiveness for all Malsysians , instead of bringing in more Unity , Stability , Wealth & Togetherness to this God Blessed Country of Multi-Ethnics & Multi-Cultural , blessed with 9 Royal Sultans & a revolving King & Queen of Malaysia! 🙏 Daulat Tuanku! Long Live The King & Royals of Malaysia! 🕯🌏✌💜🕊🇲🇾

Thanks to Msia race based policy. Msia is the only country that invests in education but her graduates are employed by other countries.

Eventhough I am a Malaysian, I am still proud of being a Malaysian. However, traveling and working abroad have made me look at things in a wider perspective. Life is about learning new things everyday.

We often complain about our country because we haven't traveled far and long enough to other parts of the world. Only those who have experienced it can truly appreciate how fortunate we are.

1.8 mil went abroad? You need to mention that 1 million for that 1.8 works in Singapore and majority of them commute daily between Malaysia and Singapore, so only 800k are emigrant

Don't blame the british that was long time ago.This is the Malay problem..

I'm Malaysian, and I'm living in Japan, not because of the problems that are mentioned in the video, but the problems of Malaysia's women 😅 (for my case)😊

1.8 milion left…5 million a-liens coming…can you imagine that?

Are you saying we practice full meritocracy in Malaysia when you are from national school and speak fluent malay? Have you not seen news every year when qualified non bumi students are not accepted to courses they apply despite excellent results. Where have you been living?

Malaysia is a Race base country

I'm a Singaporean. Malaysia OK what ?! No country is perfect.

The original version of the NEP is overrun causing major corruption problems, high inflation, and unemployment.

Actually with the weak ringgit, if you are smart and able, you would naturally want to make your money overseas and then come back to retire cheaply in Malaysia just like MM2H foreigners do.

Hi, I would be interested in your original sources if you can share them, thank you

we'll never change this is the best we got

Those who leaving Im pretty sure they miss Malaysia so much! Forget the Western propanganda . Tipu kalau benci malaysia. 25 years travel ,working around the world....MALAYSIA IS THE BEST! SNOW MEMANG CANTIK....TUNGGU LEPAS 2 MINGGU...CANTIK KE SEKSA...

Only Chinese and Indians left Malaysia 😂

Malaysia became independent in 1957. That's almost 70 years ago! Stop blaming the Brits FFS! Singapore had much the same British colonial legacy re. socio-economic disparities between ethnicities, but has become one of the richest countries in the world.....

I have a friend from Malaysia, who said the unfairness from the government toward races is crazy!

so the British were fighting against Islam indirectly

We are still recovering, that's all I have to say.

Those who had left for US and SG are short sighted. If they are in it for the short term 1-3 yrs, then it may be fine. I personally think that the Western hegemony will collapse with the advent of WW3. SG economy is worse of than MY, as their inflation rate is worse than UK. Sure MY is not perfect, but right now the rest of the world is way worse off. I'm a type C BTW. In addition to that we're seeing record levels of immigrants from the West in particular the US and UK. East Asians migrants has increased significantly from China, SKorea, Japan if you hang out in Mt Kiara or Dutamas areas. So migrating to the West doesn't make any sense.

Under the british the poverty rate was 50% . It is 5% now

What a joke story😂😂😂i am not see non bumi leaving😂😂😂more come than leaving..BS..

It makes no sense to say millions leaving Malaysia - really absurd! And it is normal when people leaving their country to work abroad. Sadly, this video does not tell the fact that millions coming into Malaysia to work.

In the last two years, many young Malays especially from PAS states like Kelantan Trengannu etc have been migrating to Australia, New Zealand etc and seeking asylum in those countries using the reason that they are being oppressed and lack freedom in their own states. Have met so many of them in Melbourne and Sydney. Apparently there's a close FB group helping them emigrate

Najib was actually a good PM and he is friendly to all races. He is liked by many people in Malaysia.

Don't complain about bumiputera rights if you are a non native. How come demanding for mandrin speaking on jobs isnt seen as racist? Mandrin isnt even our 2nd language, shouldn't be mandatory for jobs 😂

Malaysia is a beautiful country. The various races live peacefully and are proud of Malaysia.

Nop..I still proud to be Malaysian.I Will stay forever in my country with my family till the end.❤🇲🇾

Nothing .but the best is propaganda ..absolutely rubbish

Now the non-Chinese in Malaysia who studied in Chinese schools has risen to 20% and will continue to grow in the near future.

I'm malaysian..this video title is very misleading and the content is far from truth..

Despite NEB the Malay still control or have less then 15% stake in equities of Bursa Malaysia/ Business in Malaysia.

Wrong,.. other language school is just minority,.. during British time national school which is free for all, was English medium,.. after may 13th,.. all national school and Gov correspondence medium change to malay to implement malay supremacy policy,..

Malaysia provides equal opportunity in primary and secondary education but not necessarily for tertiary education. Those who got the opportunity to pursue tertiary education elsewhere such as the UK or Singapore are likely to stay in those other countries where they graduated, especially which practises meritocracy.

Those leaving Malaysia are making the right choice. I too would advice anyone who can find a job or a life outside of the country, no matter what race, to just leave to have a better life for them and their families.

Reasons for Actions - Seeking Accountability from MCA: 1. Historical Responsibility: Holding these party accountable for their roles in establishing and perpetuating policies that have led to systemic discrimination against non-bumiputera communities on approved the Economic Policies: 1. New Economic Policy (NEP): Introduced in 1971, the NEP aimed to eradicate poverty and restructure society to eliminate the identification of race with economic function. However, it continued to favor bumiputera in areas like government contracts and business licenses. 2.Seeking Accountability from MCA Historical Responsibility and Role in Establishing Policies 1955-1957: MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) played significant roles in the negotiation and formation of the Federation of Malaysia's constitution, including the implementation their involvement in the political process has contributed to the systemic discrimination against non-bumiputera communities. 3. Endorsement of Economic Policies: MCA part of the ruling coalition that supported the introduction and continuation of the New Economic Policy (NEP) and subsequent affirmative action policies not favoring non bumi. Their approval and endorsement of these policies have perpetuated inequalities, such as areas like government contracts, business licenses, and educational opportunities. This has led to a systemic marginalization of non-bumi communities.

I left Malaysia 50 years ago and have not look back . Best thing and absolutely no regret .

7.06 Singapore create new Identity which is english as singapore identity.Most of Minorities in Singapore doenst fluent in their mother tongue language as minorities in malaysia.

Not sure why this is even debated. The non bumi population and chinese in particular will start reducing very very quickly and all those housing discounts and university placements are moot cos noone is buying or filling it.

The british brought chinese & indians to work in tin mines & rubber plantations. The british promised to send back these workers to their respective countries but the british refused to send them back for reason only they knew it. A compromise was sealed. One millions of these workers were allowed to stay back in malaya & given the citizenship status & the indigenous/malays & aborigines must be given special rightsas enshrined in the constitution. So what the fuss questioning the right of the malays..

You failed to mention the amazing work done by catholic nuns and brothers in running missionary schools. I grew up in the sixties- we were not pigeon holed- all races integrated. The rot set in during the seventies and hasn’t stopped since. They are in a deep hole and yet they keep digging.

Non Malay would leave . Why would they stay as they are treated as a second class citizens. All government jobs are given to Malay only. All scholarship are given to Malay. Malay have access to free education and finance. All who can had left. Malay can have what is left.

Fake news😂😂😂😂😂

Only good hearted ppl will stay..malaysia is a peaceful country ..malays are good workers..most bussiness are own by the chinese ,i did not see any discrimination...only pure jeolusy from the non malays toward the malay muslim and their strong belief in islam...by the way the malay youth here are become better🇲🇾 and more practicing in islam ❤❤

U cant just talk as if Malaysia having mostly back end semiconductor investments as a failure. To reach this level of investments & networking is already a lot of work & not easy to do. Many countries failed to even reach 10% of what we achieved. The Malaysian semiconductor story could have been better but it is a great success story. While I do agree that the NEP is counter productive. I also like to point out that the US used to ban all Chinese immigrants from migrating to the US. Because the Chinese were dominating all industries in California. Give them more time their populations will move east & they will dominate the entire USA. White people can't compete with Chinese & Indians just like Malays. Even today the US has an affirmative actions policy that discriminates Asian people the most. Even with these racist policies Asians especially Chinese & Indians make up 40% of all top US universities despite their populations making up less than 7% of US populations. Europeans have even less Asian populations so they can talk big. If the Chinese & Indian populations reached 30% in western countries like they did in Malaysia. They will have their own NEP. I also don't get why nobody ever mentions Affirmative Actions in the US, South Africa, India, etc. Nobody ever talks about injustices of racism faced by different races in these countries. Why is it only in Malaysia? Is it because it is done by a Muslim majority country it is just much cooler to point that out compared to other countries. Just look at how many times he mentioned "Muslim" Malays in the video. See how he likes to stress that out multiple times.

Majority rules!!!it’s that simple Every country in the world works on the same concept We love Malaysia

Is this a false accusing?...damn British...

One for race cards together with religion ! These they can't see.

The British mistake gave the non-bumi Malaya federation unfair treatment, non-bumi people do not have the same rights as the so-called universal human rights. Instead of making the mistake of doing reforms to make the Federation of Malaya independent, the non bumi groups are now being bullied and discriminated against in this area. 1. Discrimination: Education: Non-bumiputera students often face challenges in accessing public university placements and scholarships due to the quota system that favors bumiputeras. 2. Jobs: The practice of preferential hiring in the public sector causes less representation of non-bumiputeras in government jobs. 3. Economic Opportunities: Permits and business licenses often prioritize bumiputera applicants to the detriment of non-bumiputera entrepreneurs. 4. Government Contracts: Bumiputera companies are often given preferential treatment when bidding for government contracts, which can limit opportunities for non-bumiputera businesses to compete fairly. 5. Not Merit-Based Scholarships: Introduce scholarships that are not based on academic performance and financial need, rather than solely on ethnic background. 6. Not Fair Business Practices: Implement policies that do not ensure fair competition for business licenses and permits. Not provide support and incentives for entrepreneurs from all ethnic backgrounds, focusing on socio-economic need.

In 2009, the BN government installed meritocracy in University placement, many didn't know that, however the Malays outperform in numbers the previous quota based percentage assigned , whereas the Ind14n Malaysians under performed in numbers than the previous quota based assigned for them. So much so in 2013, MIC REQUESTED back for the Quota system to be reinstalled. No joke! That is why DAP and PH no longer fights for meritocracy as it has been proven between 2002 till 2013 that the Malays will still out perform everyone else, don't believe? Check out which student gets no.1 spot in WORLD ACCOUNTANCY EXAMS. And this video data is not accurate concerning migration of Malaysians abroad as the migration is mostly to commute to working in Singapore which has the largest Malaysian migrant

unfairness towards the aborigins in Australia, the red indians in US, the Uyghur in China, the southeast asian in korea, the muslim in India, the chinese in Indonesia etc

Yeah yeah originally Chinese came from China, Indians came from India. Malaysians came from Malaysia. Originally Malaysia was not muslim.

The problem with capitalism is it commoditizes everything. It is better for Malaysia to remain Malay than to become the worlds top chip provider. Malays should not join the ranks of dying nations like Korea and Japan just to satisfy the economic wims of the U.S. consumers.

not just the problem of the past leaders. also the people's minds are the problem. even in this comment section you'll see crazy rhetoric by some people. they are totally oblivious to the fact that they sound racist. they'll defend whatever they are saying without ever really thinking why they believe so. of course logic is not taught in schools too.

"Princes of the soil" shout themselves hoarse about apartheid and religion-based phobia in other countries. What they practise at home is not much difference.

Its a Malay problem. They put race before nationalism. Thats the problem

When british left Malaya, the natives Malay and Orang Asli are the most deprived and poorest people. It created resentment and inequality among the different people due to british policy of racial-based profiling of jobs. So, yes it's the british fault!

i hear your point but you are missing the main point. Many chinese study and look at education as a way to improve. They do well and they face discrimination. Malays are primarily muslim and their religion and lifestyle are their priorities. The gov cannot social engineer education. It gets worse with time and the malays are not the indigenous group so that argument is false.

Why these kinds of videos now quite a lot ya? Think! Think as somebody is playing us around..😅

❤❤❤Malaysia ❤❤❤

Malaysia government unfortunately are hungry for power and keep playing the race and religion card rather than focusing on talent and economy... And Malaysia just love boycott recently ... 🤣

Brain drain happens in countries with good education standards. So whats the big deal

People got rich or poor got nothing to do with their government. The government wants people to think so, but it never really the case.

Malay big mistake taking indian and Chinese citizen😂😂😂now they want more.. absolutely ridiculous

Thank you for talking about this, i always think about this but too scared too talk about this.... Even politics in my country are mostly based on race

Malaysia has lost the pool of young talent to all developed and developing countries such as Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Germany, UK, America, Australia and New Zealand and others. Why are all these countries willing to absorb talented young people? They are the most valuable human assets of the countries for future competitiveness. However, Malaysia's rhetorical politics wants to prioritize one race to marginalize the other, through 5 decades of NEP policy. Now the impact of NEP resulted that all Malaysians are enslaved in the middle income trap. Now everyone has experienced economic hardship. Universities graduate underemployment. The Super-rich are untouchable. Where are the young Malaysian multi races talent pools ? It was 5 decades of migration of highly trained people.

Hello.Where are you from?. What are you to talk about Malaysia and what do you wanted?

Discrimination. Even if non Bumi speak fluent Malay, the jobs and education is still for Malays.

Why Are Millions Leaving Lithuania

The Brits ! Reap Malaysia’s resources for their own benefit. They Sld be helping Malaysia leaps and bounds urgently now!

Super contentious issue in the country as you can imagine. I think most people would agree the current state of things needs improvement but given the failures of the affirmative actions it makes it harder to rebalance the situation. That said, the government is starting to make some small positive actions in this space and hopefully in the future we can be equally proud of all Malaysians and stop judging one another by ethnicity.

Like I've said to my some of my people before, we may have claimed independence from the British, but are we really tho? Are we really independent in terms these political influences?

@02june80 Someone @02june80 asked: Is Mahathir a Malay? According to him and on records: 1. His mother was a Malay (father and mother must be from the Malay's ethnic clans. There's no Malay per se. Just like Chinese, there is no race or ethnicity called Cina but Hakka, Hokkien, Teow Chew, etc., etc. As for Indian, there are people from Kerala, Punjab, Tamil, and northern India like those carrying the name Singh e.g., Kartar Singh (KS). KS wants to identify himself as Indian or Singh?) 2. Father (Mamak/Mamu) His father's father was from India whilst his father's mother (grandma) was a local. Mahathir = Malay mother + Mixed father (Man from Kerala & local Malay), 3:1 In terms of definition, Mahathir is a Malay. Biologically, Mahathir has Malay DNA + Yemen's DNA (ancestors from Kerala India, not necessarily originated from the Aryan tribes but Yemen. Put Mahathir and Jose Soros side by side, you can see they both have almost identical nose structure/look) Mahathir identifies himself as Malay. A "Chinese + Indian" is a Malay if he's Muslim and adopts Malay culture. Members of the political party, UMNO are not 100% biological Malay like Ghafar Baba, Muhyuddin, and Hamzah Zainuddin. What is so special about being a 100% Malay? None. I know what the Malay should get if there's really a 100% Malay privilege. The 5% Bumi discount to buy a house must be scrapped, it is a cheat!!! May apply if it's a government housing project. Do you know a Chinese does not have to pay anything but the developer makes it easy for him (who has the capability to pay installments) to move into a RM660,000 new house. Do you have any explanation why Chinese officers who had almost the same salary and position as the Malay officers (young age in the 1990s) could easily move in or bought a RM1m house in Penang. What restrictions would Chinese or Indian face if they want to do business? There was a time new freight forwarding licenses were to be issued. The Chinese (as a race) have already got say 255 licenses. Why were there very big hues and cries when the majority of the licenses, say 100, were to be given to the Malay (which the Chinese can come in as partners say up to 49% shares). Why when the number of sponsored or P153 scholarship Malay students in several universities abroad (say ISU, Ames, Iowa, USA) became "zero/sifar" from around Pak Lah's time, the number of Chinese students remains above 200. P153 scholarships were not 100% awarded for pure academic excellence. This meant if TSri Azman Hashim's daughter had scored 8As and 1B whilst a kampung boy scored 5As (appropriate subjects) and 4B, the TSri's daughter should be rejected at the application stage. This should have left the kampung boy to compete with other pure Malays and mamaks. [Under the current grading systems, and limited number of scholarship, all applicants must have 9As, 9A+] aky akyiptvmaster@gmail.com 21 July 2024 Sunday

Vacancy. Mandarin speaking only.

I am a wantanmee lover. In the 90s it cost RM2 and now it cost RM8. We are no different from Bangladesh, both countries have the same GDP. Suffering Malaysians

Malaysia population is increasing and decreasing a little

Ya Allah. Please fulfill the wishes of all insan all humanity in this world. Syukur alhamdulillah.

This is why my parenrs left in the 70s. Electrical engineer and registered nurse, skills were taken to Australia. Contributed their hard work and taxes to another country.

As a Malaysian looking at the country from the outside, I have come to the same conclusion detailed eloquently in this documentary. Let's not sugarcoat this: Malaysia is not a democracy; it's a mashup of kleptocracy, nepotism, apartheid, and neck deep in corruption. Welcome to Malaysia. Please make your way through the appropriate gate marked by race and religion.

Not that dark compare to other countries 😂

That Uncle came from Indonesia la.

Please do not twist the facts! Although only a million or so have emigrated. The are many millions wanted to immigrate to this beautiful country. Besides, many Malaysians regretted having migrated else where. Do you have a secret agenda against this country?

How many countries in the world have a univrrsity which closes its door to quarter of its population?

Since long long time ago ....1980... this is wrong narration not full picture

Im leaving Malaysia once i get my dwgree in ireland dawg

I would trade US citizenship for Malaysian citizenship...like right now...😊❤🙏 🇲🇾

Yes British colonials was bad in India & South Africa. But not in Malaya. The british developed Malaya , education, hospitals, tin, rubber & oil palm process & most of all, instrumental in helping Malaya defeat the communists. If not , it'l be a communist state today, without religion. History!!!!

I was born in London schooled in London graduated frm LSE London. I come back to Msia once a year for 2 months. But would not work in Msia. Pay is too low corruption is high too much dirty politics. Not worth it.. im a PR in UK.

okay, lets do “why people leave canada, uk and us now 😂” just for funsies

Malaysia is the only country where minorities refuse to assimilate to local culture but demand same treatment. Imagine some people in the UK refuse to use english as first language, refuse to adopt uk culture but demand same treatment😂😂

Exodus of the talented educated n the rich have caused Malaysia to be still a third world country. With its abundant natural resources, Malaysia should have been a First world country by now but no, it’s still a country with massive debts

I hope Fadhlina Sidek as an Education Minister of Malaysia to watch this short video and learn a whole lesson how to improve malaysia education system and break the generational disadvantage for good. Malaysia spend most of its national revenue into education ministry but ironically Malaysia still suffered on brain drain

And the benefitors will justify theirs discrimination policies and refuse to change 😊

A perfectly clear and correct report.

Im surprise Econ know Msia so well😂
