[EP1] Brain Gain, with Leong Ting Hwa

In this first episode of Penang Institute’s Spill The Teh Podcast, we talk to Leong Ting Hwa, who came home to Penang despite his high flying career in Singapore. As a Brain Gain to Penang, he broke the Brain Drain pattern which has been plaguing Malaysia. While we agreed that money is the main bait for people to leave Malaysia, we deduced that political and economic stability is the way to attract our talents home.
