PARLIAMENT Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd (Talent Corp) spent an average of RM30,000 for each expert it has courted to return to serve in Malaysia.
In his reply to Liew Chin Tong (DAP-Kluang), Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Abdul Wahid Omar said that Talent Corp received a grant of RM30 million in 2011, RM20 million in 2012 and RM15 million in 2013.
Between 2011 and 2013, a total of 2,105 experts have returned due to incentives and programmes introduced by Talent Corp.
“This works out to RM30,000 per expert, but the situation in our country is that instead of experts jostling to work in Malaysia we have low-skilled migrant workers.
“It is time to review this approach, and to consider if Talent Corp is the right approach,” Liew said when commenting on the matter at the Parliament lobby.
