This was conveyed by Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution who mentioned this during the parliament session here today. However this is a miniscule figure compared to the number of Malaysians who have left the country for better prospects which is estimated to be any between 1.5 to 2 million. Among the country that is attracting migration for locals in Singapore with more than 1 million already have migrated and are probably seeking permanent resident-ship.
