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.
