In this episode of #WooSays, Professor Emeritus Datuk Woo Wing Thye and Melisa Idris explore the global battle for talent. The United States has tightened visas for both students and skilled workers, while China is heading in the opposite direction: actively attracting international students and world-class faculty. In Malaysia, the problem of highly qualified students without university placements has sparked debate.

At stake is nothing less than how Malaysia chooses to invest in, and for, its future talent.
