Abstract
The present paper attempts to identify the actual reasons and factors that have influence Malaysian to migrate to another country especially Singapore. There is a lot of other research done about employment and emigration out there but this paper try to focus on emigration of professionals to manufacturing company specifically on Agilent Technologies, Singapore. The research includes the impact of the emigration to both countries in both positively and negatively. The content is further strengthen by using several theories by several well-known philosophers of the management from old time and recently. At the end of the study, the paper supposed to help both country to understand the implication of emigration and what can we do to improve it. The data collected for this case study were derived from a lot of documentation such as articles, journals, news and others case study; and some was collected from the interviews with Malaysian that is currently working in Agilent Technologies in both Malaysia and Singapore. Some of them are based on observation to find out if the environment and culture are some of the factors influencing. From the research, we conclude that there are a few pushing factors from Malaysia that has caused Malaysia to leave the country and stay in Singapore and pulling factors of Singapore that attracts Malaysia to find or accept a job there. This situation has been there for many years and it is unstoppable but controllable factors. It gives both positive and negative impact to both sending and receiving country. Future researchers can extend the approach used in this research to other industry and country that may have similar overlapping paradigms. There are more to research based on the different culture, location and environment.
