Comprehensive solution to tackle brain drain


SEPANG: The brain drain, especially among the youth, needs to be looked at comprehensively, including economic problems concerning them, says Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim.He said emerging issues in the matter of the youth economy must be identified so that solutions can be put in place.

“It is not necessary to focus on one issue to solve it 100%, but we must have a method to solve it,” he told a press conference after the Malaysian eSports Team Send Off programme at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport here yesterday.

Adam Adli said the issue of brain drain cannot depend only on steps taken by the government, but rather the cause must be identified first.

Recently, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah was reported to have suggested that the government continue working on improving the existing system and reducing the impact of the migration of local skilled workers abroad.

Adam Adli said youth issues would be given priority by the ministry.

He said the ministry would implement initiatives based on the findings of a study conducted by the Institute for Youth Research Malaysia. — Bernama
