Hi what do you expect from a third world country like Malaysia?
Most have a policy (like Thailand) of "f off foreigners just leave you cash and go"
Its called pride. "Doing it all ourselves"
Malaysia even tried to build its own car industry and came up with the "National Joke" Proton. That's pride gone mad. Thais build cars but other people designs and brands so they bring in jobs but don't make fooks of themselves. But they have more self-pride as never colonized
As for job hunting though you know how it is. No serious job is given "at random" to those that apply
Order in which "senior" or good jobs given too
- directors children
- royal family
- ministers families
- children/in-laws of Tan Sris
- children/in-laws of directors of other companies
- children/in-laws of Datuks
etc etc.....
Even lower jobs
are given not on merit. Secretarial jobs are given to wives of managers/directors. Usulaly they come in for 2 hours a day to strut around and shout and "lower people"
Malaysisa is a feudal society which until relatively recently was all Kampungs with the local tribal leaders and a hierarchy going up to the Sultan.
After all these VIP's are given "good" jobs whats left for bright locals without connections? not much!
