Such racial segregation policies have caused significant rates of [[human capital flight]] (brain drain) from Malaysia.

It stated that the high rates of emigration of non-bumiputera Malaysians from the country is driven by discriminatory policies that appear to favour Malays/Bumiputeras—such as providing exclusive additional assistance in starting businesses and educational opportunities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Putting the Malaysian diaspora into perspective |url=https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/2010-11/BrainDrain/Malaysia.html |website=cs.stanford.edu |publisher=Stanford University |access-date=15 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018010359/https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/2010-11/BrainDrain/Malaysia.html|archive-date=18 October 2014}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
