Red tape delays return of specialists

Star: Malaysian medical specialists and researchers working abroad have been slow in responding to the call for them to return home to work.
Health Ministry parliamentary secretary Lee Kah Choon said many of them were willing to return but were put off by the slow process of getting travel documents for their spouses.
Lee said the ministry had been encouraging Malaysians to return to the country, adding that the Government was also giving incentives to woo the professionals.
He said these included income tax exemption and two approved permits for them to bring back two cars from overseas.
