To leave or not to leave

Some friends had posed this particular question to me numerous time: would you consider moving out of your home country? Leaving your home is not as simple as ABC, as some of you might know.
Lets face it. Migrating to some other country is more often than not considered "betraying" your country, depletes the country resources and often you're sneered at as a "traitor" by your fellow countrymen. You've got all the good reasons on why you'd want to be absorb into your new country, but some people just don't get it and hold firm to what they want to believe.
A question to be pondered by these pessimists is: Should we blame the others that are leaving the country for a better life? If our government cannot provide the environment and resources to these people to excel, why should we stop them from the attractions provided by the other governments?
You may argue, that by letting them being traitors, they're not participating in changing the system, but at the same time, keeping these individuals hindered them from going forward.
I see these pessimists as selfish and pathetic. Their attitudes towards migration out is blurred by disgust, and hence clouded their perception of apathy. Therefore, trying hard as we might to let them see the brighter picture of the whole situation will end up nowhere. We can talk until the cow comes home.
We must realized that all Malaysians, whether abroad or at home, can continue to have Malaysia at heart. In that, we hope that all parties can do what we can to bring change to our country. After all, leaving home is never an easy decision. One has to go through emotional stress, as well as letting go the good ole Malaysian food. All these were not done in a snap of a finger, and by putting more strain on the leaving individuals, we might lose not only their presence, but also their hearts.
So, you want to know my answer to my friends' question? I'd stay and work towards the betterment of our system back at home. And if it did not nudge the crook system even a bit after many attempts, maybe then only I'd look for other countries that welcome (not suppress) ideas and innovations.
