Melaka Forms Special Committee To Bring Back Experts

MELAKA, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- The Melaka government will set up a special committee to trace and bring back professionals born in the state who are now working abroad.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the special committee would be chaired by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Wira Omar Kaseh.

"We want these professionals and experts to return and serve in Melaka so that the state can progress further," he told reporters after opening the International Management Education Conference 2010 organised by Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), here Wednesday.

He said this when asked to comment on the statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak on Monday that a Talent Corporation would be set up to woo Malaysian professionals working abroad to come back and work in Malaysia.

Mohd Ali said the four sectors that needed professional manpower were biotechnology, information and communication technology, health, and renewable energy.

"The Melaka government is prepared to give incentives to attract those who want to come back and bring further progress to the state," he added.
