Guest: Thomas Mathew, Group CEO, TalentCorp
As the global workforce decentralizes, countries are racing to position themselves as talent magnets. Malaysia is joining the competition, offering digital nomad visas, competitive costs, and a high quality of life. But beyond the headlines and visa schemes, there’s a deeper question: Are we attracting high-impact individuals who will drive innovation, or are we just becoming a stopover for remote workers priced out of other markets?
In this episode, we speak with Thomas Mathew, Group CEO of TalentCorp, to dive into Malaysia’s evolving talent strategy. We explore whether the ecosystem is truly ready to support foreign professionals, how Malaysia stacks up against regional competitors, and the challenges of balancing the attraction, retention, and repatriation of skilled workers — both local and foreign.
Join us for an insightful conversation on how Malaysia can build a sustainable, long-term talent hub that benefits both Malaysians and global professionals alike.
