Some are above average but in general, they are by the standard abroad average too.<br /><br />The thing I cannot tahan of these returning Malaysians is their endlss talk of their days abroad and how things are better abroad.<br /><br />If so, why return? <br /><br />Some of these Malaysian are no better really. <br /><br />We over rate them. Some are really good but some are over rated. <br /><br />Government do not really need to establish Talent Corp to get them to return. Let it be a private venture by any entrepreneur cum consultant. <br /><br />This whole thing of trying to get Malaysians to return and work back home is just a hype for someone to con the government for easy money.<br /><br />Usually the prospective employee will pay for the services but this time, it is government that is paying.<br /><br />Can you see that????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-78095039253120128682012-10-18T15:26:04.989+08:002012-10-18T15:26:04.989+08:00Kahang boy, im not gonna be as harsh as A Voice he...Kahang boy, im not gonna be as harsh as A Voice here, coz what i think is that it is good if malaysian oversea wasnt been given the privilege of casting postal vote coz atleast now these guys have an excuse to balik kampong, see old relatives, visits old favourite joint (lai ci kang stall??) and exchanging views with the locals. :)Irwan Faizalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359453607447516328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-30065770444658998822012-10-18T15:07:50.209+08:002012-10-18T15:07:50.209+08:00Wow, what did EC/government did to them?

Konon that way of arguing will show m as inconsistent. <br /><br />Who cares of inconsistency, it is a personal opinion piece. It s about what one like and dislike. And about we feel should and shouldn't.<br /><br />Very cina kui style of arguing an issue. So easy for you to terasa and insecure. Many Malay also lives abroad and think like all Malaysians abroad. <br /><br />Why don't you state your stand and what you think should or shouldn't. <br /><br />Apart from the reason of being away too long, there is a long list of people I see as unfit to vote. <br /><br />For instance those anti constitution and working against the interest of the nation ie betrayers should be unfit. <br /> <br />In fact, if I were to apply the basic criteria for Muslim to pray for voting - Islam , baligh dan berakal, the whole of Kelantan state could be unfit to vote :)A Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780035743502972342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-56619728233099052842012-10-18T11:35:34.111+08:002012-10-18T11:35:34.111+08:00Fine, preclude goverment sponsored students in ove...Fine, preclude goverment sponsored students in overseas from voting, thats sounds mighty fine with me. But govt servants abroad...? They are agent/organs of goverment branch, positioned outside geographically by decree of goverment to carry out govt action in the name of the people!! Since their location georaphically bound by job demand, their employer (government) by far should provide them means for them to travel back to cast their vote but since it would be very costly to do so (knowing some quack in the parliment would question the feasibility of the cost later), we allowed postal vote to these people. Psotal vote is not supposed to be a right enjoyed by everybody, it is suppose to be a privilege by goverment servants serving abroad and lets not forget an obligation by goverment as an employer to these people!!Irwan Faizalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359453607447516328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-67994777541822248542012-10-18T11:25:52.391+08:002012-10-18T11:25:52.391+08:00Simple answer.. those ppl u said are coming back h...Simple answer.. those ppl u said are coming back home i.e. to fullfil their contract after end os studies or to spend the rest of their life here... those migrating, because they want to find better living elsewhere.... <br /><br />imagine if chinese worldwide ask for voting right.. hu jintau would not be able to catch a wink tonight..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-18299821935630711232012-10-18T00:14:17.366+08:002012-10-18T00:14:17.366+08:00ABITW wrote - Before the idea of Malayan Union, th...ABITW wrote - Before the idea of Malayan Union, the Malay states were not "officially" colonised but merely accepting British residents or Advisers -<br /><br />So, did Malaysia achieved Merdeka in 1957?

So what is the chance they will register for postal votes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-25361906350509655412012-10-17T18:24:58.366+08:002012-10-17T18:24:58.366+08:00Why the double standard of Malaysians allowed to v...Why the double standard of Malaysians allowed to vote for those working overseas?<br /><br />Why only Govt servants and govt sponsored students allowed to vote but not for non-govt persons?<br /><br />Stop twisting facts on some other gibberish stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-15758747060025497052012-10-17T14:29:47.847+08:002012-10-17T14:29:47.847+08:00I have to say, living outside malaysian environmen...I have to say, living outside malaysian environment (meaning never attuned with whats happening with country except for once a month phone call to families)for too long should preclude themselves from having their vote counted. <br /><br />yes i know it sound ridiculous but then again, if he/she is not in touch with the country he originate but fanatically emulate his/her host country culture, sets of belief and so on, whould he or she is able to be classified as malaysian? what about if he/she already hold a green card status or permenant residentship with their host country, would their opinion is still relavant with the country aspiration or needs?Irwan Faizalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359453607447516328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-32455963057750535222012-10-17T13:48:56.580+08:002012-10-17T13:48:56.580+08:00Interesting subject to discuss, a voice.
