KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 26): DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang said Malaysia must have a programme to reduce the emigration of highly skilled citizens as a policy. “Malaysia must have a programme to reduce the emigration of highly skilled citizens, as part of the policy to make Malaysia great again, as well as to attract highly-skilled talent to Malaysia,” he said. He stressed that there should be a special unit in the Prime Minister’s Department to stem the brain drain in key sectors, which should conduct an aggressive policy to turn the five decades of “brain drain” into a “brain gain” situation. “For a start, the Government should resolve the grievances and complaints of healthcare workers, and terminate the problem of contract doctors. “Malaysia does not need contract doctors, as they should be absorbed into the public health and medical system,” he said.
