Malays (in smaller numbers so far) are leaving too. Some of my muslim cousins have been steadily making a life for themselves in other countries.

During last ramadan, the awek with whom I was working with to develop a pork-like flavoring additive using halal ingredients and methods contacted me. The project is dead. She decided to seek a better life elsewhere along with her partner because kena kecam teruk by the people around her and she can't tahan any more; she's a lesbian. There goes another intelligent and hard-working talent.
