It’s not that Brunei “ran out of ideas”. More like there are so many red tapes locals aren’t even bothered to try anymore because they always get shut out.

Many of these Bruneians who once planned on returning to Brunei after a few years abroad seem to find compelling reasons to stay permanently, making it less likely they’ll come back for good. Let’s talk about this and what it could mean for our country.
Why More Bruneians Are Leaving
Brunei’s job market is relatively small, limiting career progression and exposure to diverse industries. Many Bruneians seek higher wages and better benefits abroad. Countries like Singapore and Malaysia offer more varied career paths and experiences.
A Permanent Change in Residency
The longer individuals stay overseas, the more they adapt to new lifestyles, such as buying property and starting families. This leads to a diminished connection to Brunei, making it harder to envision a return.
The Emotional and Cultural Challenges
While working overseas can be an incredible opportunity, it comes with its challenges. Strong connections to family and friends create internal conflict between career ambitions and a sense of duty to loved ones. Feelings of loyalty to Brunei may clash with the desire for personal and professional growth. Additionally, the emotional toll of being away from home can lead to homesickness and cultural disconnect.
The Reality of Finding Jobs Abroad
The challenges of securing overseas jobs often depend more on individual efforts than on government assistance. Factors such as proactiveness, skill development, and adaptability play crucial roles in determining success. How far individuals are willing to go to network, apply for positions, and seize opportunities can significantly impact their chances. The extent to which they enhance their qualifications and skills to meet international job standards is also important, as is their ability to adjust to different cultures and workplaces.
What Does This Mean for Brunei?
If this trend continues, Brunei risks losing skilled professionals who could contribute to the country's development. This raises questions about how Brunei can enhance its job market and living standards to attract people back. Encouraging growth in specific sectors, opening the economy to a wider range of industries, and offering incentives for overseas Bruneians who choose to come back are all potential strategies.

I think the language here means for you to leverage whatever existing agreement to promote trade and investment, not asking you to go out to work.
