They are recruited there by companies the moment they graduate. Umilever, jap comoanies...multinationals give them housing and car loan in jiu hu, plus initial housing allowance and expat perks in sinkie for maybe 6 months. Parents granted PR also. I dunno what these companies see in malaysians but i think its because of their multilingual ability plus no NS hassles. Some after working in sinkie, recruited by china companies. Crazy. There must be a reason why they are sought after. The non bumi malaysians that is.
Housing and car loan are cheap in Msia. Even their allowance cant beat those fm Sinkieland. Plus workg here their earning power is 3 times their peers in Msia. I know of a doctor fm Penang. She prefer to work in Sinkieland for obvious reasons.
