When unqualifieds get all the good jobs in the Govt, what do you expect the brainy and qualified to do?

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence as its watered daily not like in Sri Lanka. Why blame people for leaving for a better life where the rule of law reigns supreme.

Excuse me Akila.Do you want to know the reason? Look at your Leader? Who want to live in a country when he is the opposition leader? Traitor

I left after JVP antics!! Asking ransom, death threats etc and when got the opportunity why should I put up with them. Idid not leave to earn more money but for peace of mind. Probably would have returned if economically favourable.

We want comeback give something back to our motherland. But what is going to happen to our future? Politics is the main cause for this drain. Government needs to support job creation and R&D.

Well said Angel, after all the education was for FREE, hopefully many more will leave and find jobs overseas as SL cannot provide the jobs, just the education.

What is the salary of a fresh PHD guy (not Dr Silva) after spending 50% of his useful life in achieving of academic excellence? Rs 25,000 or less ???. Can he maintain a family with that???. Such people would stay in Sri Lanka only due to personal reason like parents, properties, or some do not like to work hard any more and preferred soft life.

not given value to their acedemic talent in the past. Still the trend goes on. Now only local academics given value.

Most of t em leave not for poor salries, but for the fact that they do not want to report to dumb bosses.
