Is it enough to (just) pay back your bond?

Z triggered a discussion at breakfast table today: of people who broke their bond with their studies' financiers (orang Msia kata "sponsors") and not returned to work in Malaysia.

Is it justifiable to do that because the contract allows it? Legally, yes.Morally - so wrong and so bad.Very self-centred and not forward thinking.You do not go beyond yourself and this is the issue why I get so frustrated when intelligent and talented people leave the country.If it's to get a few years' work experience abroad (with the intention of returning to serve the ummah), it is much applaudable.But very often, your kids - who would be so culturally uprooted will be the reasons why you can't go home.The little ones will not be able to fit in Msian ways of doing things..Msian attitudes etc.I don't buy that line why people leave the country: so that our children will get a better education cos' here the non- bumis are second class citizens, no scholarships etc.These are just excuses because there are more people who do not get the scholarships than those who get and they still live and are successful.The key to success is hard work. You can do this anywhere.

I pray to Allah Z will return and serve the needy people here and not over-serve there.Yang sedih, I know of two cases where our brightest quit to serve a zionist organisation!Yang sorang stayed back in London, the other is doing the branch in KL.Sayang betul because the one in KL mmg a Muslim activist.Adakah ini satu rancangan jahat Zionist? (yah, salahkan semua kpd zionists).Remember my earlier blog entry pasal that accomplished engineer who came back to serve not only his parents but also his little city upnorth?I guess it was easier for him to return cos' he's still single and has no kids.I do not think it would be that easy once you have this other commitment.

It is a choice, indeed but even in making a choice, we need to think a bit more.Go beyond the self.That is the actual indicator whether you are really an intelligent person.Remember, you do not take government's money (rakyat's taxes) to be your jumping stone for a self-indulging life elsewhere.You would have denied a person who had competed for that scholarship and who would have returned home to serve the country.It is just not about money.

Kepada sesiapa yang berasa hati dgn entry yang agak keras ini, saya minta maaf.I'm just offering an opinion.Heh.
