Drain

It is common, for contacts to comment on a, serious or non-serious, provoking ‘status update’, link, video etc, on Facebook.

I am disappointed at the lack of response that I received from the video I had just posted, followed by my commentary of it. The silence is, ironically, almost in direct relation to what the video was about.

That said, giving the benefit of doubt, I hope that their omission is not a reflection of their interest, care and concern regarding a matter and issue (I feel) so significant to all of us.

Below is the video, followed by my commentary.

The title I think is inaccurate. It relates a little more on the Brain Drain, among other things.

For some years now, I’ve had the same sentiment regarding Malaysia, Singapore, Indo, Mid East, and just the East really.

This is why it is important to have a healthy democracy. A judiciary that the people are confident in. Because everytime a fellow citizen is not enjoying his country, not trusting the system, he will want to leave.

And more often than not, the talented ones, who have the opportunity to leave, will leave. Human resource are more valuable than other resources (like oil). When you don’t have or run out of natural resources, you will need human resource. That need is imperative, continuous, perpetual. Never out of demand, never limited from growth.

If you don’t fight, make effort for a better place, wherever you are, capable and competent people, citizens, strangers around you leave.

That is a loss. Your loss. Those around you. Those after you.
