特別報導：大馬移民風潮猛刮！對納吉貪腐政權絕望，大馬富豪紛紛放棄國籍移民海外！

文字翻譯：張丹楓

根據一家國際房地產顧問公司的調查顯示，馬來西亞的有錢人現在都急著辦理移民手續，平均每四名富豪當中就有一人選擇放棄馬來西亞國籍，移民到相對更民主自由的西方國家。他們的首選是英國、美國、澳洲、紐西蘭及新加坡等地。

從這些富有的國民紛紛放棄大馬國籍的情形看來，導致他們決定出走的原因除了本地缺乏發展機會、教育制度偏差之外，納吉政權的腐敗造成馬來西亞的國際形象和競爭力大幅度滑落，是重要因素。

如何界定富豪、中等收入和平民呢？根據這家國際產業顧問公司的標準，個人財富資產達到3千萬美元（約1.3億令吉）以上者，即可被列入富豪名單。

這些剪掉馬來西亞國籍護照的富豪離開大馬移民海外，同時也把財富轉往海外；造成大馬國家的損失不小。不過，顯然的，納吉政權並不在乎這些。

這項宣布同時呼應了上個月公積金局公布的數目字；公積金局上月宣布，超過23%的會員紛紛提取存款轉移到海外，為投資移民鋪路。這是因為他們都對納吉的國陣政權完全失去信心。

這些移民者除了華裔和印裔之外，也有不少巫裔；顯見三大民族對納吉掌權的馬來西亞國家前途非常悲觀。除了那些巫統的朋黨之外，有能力的都走了，剩下能力不足的還在馬來西亞國內聽天由命。

Malaysia losing millionaires at world’s second-fastest rate

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Over one in four ultra-rich Malaysians are seeking permanent residence abroad, making Malaysia’s emigration rate among the rarefied set second only to China worldwide, an international property consultancy firm said today.

According to Knight Frank, the trend, largely credited to a purported lack of opportunities here, could worsen in the coming years if Malaysia continues down the road to conservatism.

「As far as push factors are concerned, sometimes the lack of opportunities that may prevail here, which of course our government is trying best to improve, and these could be some of the push factors in this country.

「Of course if Malaysia continues to become, in terms of liberalism, we』re not as liberal as we used to be, being liberal is curtailed, you might see more Malaysians moving to more liberal countries,」 Knight Frank Malaysia’s managing director Sarkunan Subramaniam said at the launch of 「The Wealth Report 2016.」

In its report, Knight Frank described the ultra high-net-worth individuals as those with assets amounting to US$30 million (RM124.8 million) or greater.

He added that ample business and education opportunities in cities such as London in the United Kingdom and New York in the United States are also considered 「pull factors」 that were luring wealthy Malaysia to leave their home country for greener pastures abroad.

「As I said, this trend will continue as Malaysians become more and more international and of course as I said… there are a lot of business opportunities presented as far as business growth and education et cetera there is a major pull factor,」 he added.

This comes after Employees Provident Fund (EPF) chief executive Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan said in February that 23 per cent more Malaysians withdrew from their principal retirement pension account last year, indicating a rise in the number emigrating.

Over two million Malaysians are estimated to have emigrated since independence in 1957.
