Why some want to leave Malaysia and why we should let them

There are so many opinions on social media for and against Malaysians who are considering leaving the country for better employment, a better livelihood, and simply for peace of mind, and in hopes of a meaningful life.

There are many who advise them not to go, that they should stay on and “weather the storm”. But this storm has raged on for decades, and some feel that enough is enough.

The advisers say, do not leave Malaysia, so they can kick the liars, bigots, racists and corrupt out from their positions of power. They say “stay to change the government at the next election; stay so that these authoritarian bullies will not think we are weak and helpless”.

Think about it. One is neither weak nor helpless for wanting to leave.

On the contrary, many have felt weak and helpless for speaking up, providing solutions, trying to be transparent, voicing concerns and advocating change.

The problem is that those who need to listen are not doing so. And the few who do listen, prosecute those who struggle to right the wrongs.

If voices are not heard, a normal human reaction is one of disappointment and dejection. This is hardly a sign of weakness. It is a compassionate human who has these feelings, not a weak or helpless one. When humans feel slighted and ignored, or feel that they are not being taken seriously, it is a huge emotional setback.
