JOHOR BAHARU, Oct 18 (Bernama) -- The Higher Education Ministry is studying the possibility of introducing a 'Brain Sharing" programme to enable Malaysians abroad to teach at the local institutions of higher learning while visiting or holidaying in this country.
Its minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the programme would enable them to teach at the local institutions of higher learning for a certain period without giving up their job abroad.
"Malaysians working abroad have various expertise and they can share their knowledge with their local counterparts without having to quit their job abroad," he told reporters here today.
He said they might not want to resign from their jobs abroad purely to teach in Malaysia because of several factors including the lucrative salary received.
Earlier, Mohamed Khaled, who is also the Member of Parliament for Pasir Gudang, attended the charity golf competition 2009 organised by the Social Welfare and Development Council (Mayang) for the Pasir Gudang parliamentary constituency.
He said the ministry would also provide various incentives to attract qualified Malaysians to participate in the Brain Sharing Programme.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Khaled, who is also the Pasir Gudang Umno division head, said the charity golf programme was to collect donations for the Mayang fund. (Bernama)
