Foreign doctors spurn job offers

THE number of foreign doctors willing to work in the country is still low, despite attractive salaries, Malaysia's Health Director General Mohamad Taha Arif said.

Of 1,000 available positions nationwide, only 200 had been filled, even after recruitment officers went to Indonesia, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. -- Bernama


My thoughts:
Is the salary really "attractive" compared to other countries?
What are the real reasons? Perhaps capital controls - making it difficult to repatriate what you earn? Working conditions?
