Nearly 100,000 Malaysians renounce citizenship for Singapore in a decade, says Home Ministry
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 97,318 Malaysians have renounced their citizenship to become citizens of Singapore between 2015 and June 2025, according to the Home Ministry. The figures were provided in a written reply to a question from Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu) at the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Aug 11). In 2015, 7,394 Malaysians renounced their citizenship, followed by 8,654 in 2016, and 7,583 in 2017. The numbers remained steady with 7,665 in 2018, but saw a significant increase in 2019 with 13,362 individuals making the switch. The trend dipped in 2020 with 5,591 renunciations, likely influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, numbers picked up again with 7,956 in 2021 and 5,623 in 2022. A substantial increase was recorded in 2023 with 11,500 Malaysians making the change. The highest number within this period was in 2024, with 16,930 renunciations, and as of June 30 this year, 6,060 Malaysians have opted for Singaporean citizenship. Over the past decade, Malaysia has reportedly grappled with a significant brain drain, where skilled professionals leave the country for opportunities abroad. This trend is driven by the pursuit of higher salaries, better career prospects, and improved quality of life in countries like Singapore, Australia, and the United States. The sectors most affected include healthcare, engineering, finance, and information technology.

The Career Pivot You Didn't Know You Needed (Until Now)
Subscribe to our FREE After 16 years in banking—including a stint as Assistant Vice President managing mortgage ops in the northern region—Lim Wern Shern decided to do something most people wouldn't dare: he left the corporate world to become an insurance agent. Yup, you heard right. In 2017, Wern Shern swapped KPIs and corporate targets for more human interaction. Less chasing quotas, more helping real people make real decisions . But don't get it twisted—this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment leap. It was a calculated career pivot built on years of planning (and an actual Certified Financial Planner license he got way back in 2010). 'I didn't see it as a risk,' Wern Shern says. 'I saw it as an opportunity to expand my impact. My day-to-day was becoming monotonous, and I wanted to engage with clients in a more meaningful way.' And engage he did. Just two months after joining AIA, he hit Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) status (a global recognition for top-performing financial professionals)—the fastest to do so at the time. Clearly, Wern Shern didn't come to play. From Banker to People-Focused Problem Solver (Credit: Lim Wern Shern) Coming from a finance background, Wern Shern brought with him serious chops: financial literacy, data analysis, and the kind of relationship-building skills you can't fake. But more importantly, he understood what his clients wanted— real solutions , not sales talk. 'These are highly educated individuals. You can't sell them concepts—you need facts. You need to be a solution provider, not a product pusher.' That's why he meets each client three to four times a year, discussing everything from medical protection to retirement planning. 'I don't want to be just an advisor. I want to be the person they call before making any major financial decision—whether it's buying a house or writing a will.' Why AIA? With zero background in insurance, Wern Shern did his homework before making the jump. AIA stood out for a few reasons: corporate solutions, mortgage integration, Private Retirement Scheme, and AIA Vitality, their propriety health and wellness programme. He praises AIA's digital-first infrastructure , including paperless processes , real-time dashboards , and remoteless submissions , which streamline operations and enhance client servicing. 'It's efficient, client-friendly, and allows me to focus on building relationships rather than managing paperwork.' Adding to that AIA's continuous product innovation, estate planning workshops , soft skills training , and Customer 360 platform —and you've got a solid ecosystem for anyone serious about this line of work. 'AIA doesn't just train you to sell—it trains you to serve.' Leadership With Standards (Credit: Lim Wern Shern) Today, Wern Shern leads a team of nine—most of whom hold Registered Financial Planner (RFP) or Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certifications. And he doesn't believe in shortcuts. 'I'm all about quality over quantity. I want people who are mentally prepared and committed to the profession.' He's also a strong supporter of the AIA Elite Academy , which gives new Life Planners the right tools, structure, and support to start strong. 'The starter bonuses allow them to build a solid foundation. The structured training enables them to focus on learning. It's a future-proof programme that cultivates entrepreneurial leaders.' Recognition That Actually Matters Forget trophies. For Wern Shern, the most meaningful recognition is trust. 'When they share their financial data with me, when they call me before making life decisions—that's when I know I've made a difference.' He's helped people sort out estate planning, will writing, even mortgages. Because at the end of the day, it's not just about money—it's about life. Discipline > Motivation (Credit: Lim Wern Shern) If you're thinking of making a similar move, here's a reality check: you need discipline . 'The flexibility of being a Life Planner is great, but you can't take it for granted. You need to stay focused and committed.' As an AIA Double Millionaire Challenge achiever and consistent MDRT qualifier, Wern Shern's results speak for themselves. But for him, success comes from reconnecting with your why —the reason you chose this path in the first place—and that's what he constantly reminds his team to fall back on. Thinking of a Career Pivot? Wern Shern's advice? 'Ask yourself how much you believe in the value of financial planning. What value will you bring to your clients? If you're committed, AIA Elite Academy will give you everything you need to succeed.' So if you're ready to build a career with purpose, flexibility, and real impact—maybe it's time to pivot too. 👉 Learn more about the Share your thoughts with us via TRP's Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.

90% take-up rate for housing project over a weekend
Lim (fourth from left), Voon (third from right) and Leong (fourth from right) with other VIPs at the opening of M Grand Minori sales gallery in Taman Pelangi, Johor Baru. — THOMAS YONG/The Star MAH Sing Group Bhd (Mah Sing) is banking on the strategic location of its latest project in Johor Baru – M Grand Minori under its premium M Grand Series. Its chief operating officer (southern region) James Lim said its close proximity to Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) connecting Johor Baru and Singapore was another strong selling point for the development project. 'The project has thus far received an encouraging response, with Phase One of Tower A achieving a 90% take-up rate over a weekend,' he said. Lim said the company was looking at Malaysian professionals working in Singapore, Singaporeans, affluent Indonesians, first-time buyers and those looking to downsize especially senior citizens, as potential buyers. He said this at the opening of M Grand Minori sales gallery in Taman Pelangi, located 3km from the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station. Lim said the RTS Link, expected to start operation in the first-quarter of 2027, will ease the infamous traffic crawls at the Causeway. 'This will enhance connectivity and accessibility between Johor Baru and Singapore and augurs well for the economic growth for this part of the region,' he added. Mah Sing founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said the strong take-up rate showed that the project resonated strongly with property buyers. The project, he said, was well positioned to tap into growing demand driven by enhanced cross border connectivity. 'Johor has always been an important market for us; it is our second largest development after Klang Valley,' said Leong. The company, he said, has maintained a strong presence in the state since launching its first township in Johor Baru, namely Taman Sri Pulai Perdana in 2000. Mah Sing group chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Voon Tin Yow said the development was designed to offer a lifestyle that reflected the needs of today's urban dwellers – smart, connected and convenient. The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), he said, was set to attract foreign investments and global companies in high-growth sectors like electronics and renewable energy. 'As Johor cements its role as a regional hub, M Grand Minori stands ready to meet the rising demand for quality homes in this vibrant and fast evolving location,' added Voon. The freehold mixed-use residential and commercial project spans 2.42 hectares in Taman Pelangi with an estimated gross development value of RM1.5bil. Phase One of the project comprises two towers of serviced apartment and nine retail lots – Tower A (59 levels with 843 units) and Tower B (59 levels with 890 units) with target launch in the third quarter of 2025. The five unit types available are 403sq ft (RM390,000), 496sq ft (465,000), 624sq ft (RM591,000), 630sq ft (RM609,000) and 835sq ft (RM769,000). The sales gallery located at Taman Pelangi, Johor Baru is open from 9.30am to 9pm daily. For details, contact 07-291 3226 or visit
