KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — A total of 5,234 Malaysians working abroad have returned to work in Malaysia through the Returning Expert Programme (REP) from 2011 until August this year.
The Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA), in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, stated that throughout that period, the REP implemented by Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) received 12,850 applications, with 8,093 of them approved.
The programme serves as a mechanism to attract highly skilled Malaysians back to contribute to the national economy.
KESUMA added that to strengthen these efforts, TalentCorp also implements the MyHeart initiative to connect highly skilled Malaysian diaspora with job opportunities matching their experience, expertise, and skill levels.
