Do we lost our human resources?

[KoolKool]

Definitely opportunities!!
Opportunities are limited back home, even things that we learned here can not be used overthere because there's no such opportunity exist in the country. Opportunities are also limited, it becomes difficult to create new business, new ideas or even just to change the old ways they used to do to the new and better ways. Therefore, to avoid the hardship and risk people just go where things are available and convenient.

I agree with Max.

The whole point of the scholarship is for Laotians to return
to there home country and apply what they have learned abroad.

What I think is sad is that most Laotians are not interested in helping Laos develop, but I also know there are are a lot of us out there who would enjoy helping also.

Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that non-Laotians are more interested in helping Laos develop,
which I think is great but at the same time it's also sad because Laos is our mother country and we should assist as much as we can. I am not talking about sending money to relatives. What I am saying is that Laos need help in infrastructure, education, and technology.

These are my opinion.

[guess]

i think it is a serious problem for the development of the country and the goverment must take it seriously.
Deja we are lack of human resources (i mean the real , the competence one)....And now we are loosing them!

like a good citation says "If you want others to change, first you have to change your sefl" Don't forget that the sacrifice needs a mouth to feed too!

My story is different. I came to the U.S with my family in 1987. I've been living there ever since. I graduated from a top university in the country. Now, I am working at the best company, Dell Computers, as a Logistics Manager. I earn very good money here and receive a lot of recognitions/awards for job well done.

With my education, and experiences, I do want to go back to Laos to help develope my beloved country to be a better place to live. However, will I be able to live like the way I do right now? Will the Lao Government let me work there since I am now a U.S Citizen?

I've been back to Laos several times and everytime I came back to the U.S I felt homesick. I always wanted to go back and live and work in our country.

when we talk about laos, we are talking about our homeland. why don't they want to go back? there are so many reasons and considerations. I came to USA to study with my own fanancial support for Computer Engineer. my plan was to go back home and spend my life with family. here I am. I have been here for almost 9 years and havn't had a chance to go back. after i graduated from 2 years college, i spent over $20,000 with no job experience. I decided to stay here for a little longer to get a job and experience from modern country like USA. because i know with 2-4 years degree from College or university will not help our country that much. we have to learn and put yourself on the line. now i have a wife, kid, and lots of things to worry about. to go back to laos is always be my first place. sometime we have to sacrify something to make other things happen. i never forget my homeland but just the matter of time. i am pretty sure lots of laos students who have left home, they are dying to go back but they can't. the longer they stay, they more thing they have to be responsible for. overall, we are proud of who we are. it doesn't really matter where you are at. laos people are smart. they don't really have to leave the country and come back to help, they will find their way to show what laos people can do. i never thought that people aboard are actually smarter than laos people who never leave their homeland. before you are starting thinking about helping your country, you need to worry about yourself. if you can educate yourself, you will automatically educate others. i will move to laos for sure but just thematter of time. laos is always be our homeland.
this is just a sample of my life which i never expected it. but no matter what happen, you just need to be sure to stand strong with anything come across. peace out.

[sao lao melbourne]

what a good topic huh! i am currently study in Australia and i also one of many people who don't want to go back home. The first reason is that the life over here is better...facilities conveniences ....goverment subsidies such as health care education u don't have to worry about the money if u have a health care insurance which is good. Unlike when u go to the hospitalk in lao some D.R just ask u and give u a medicine like paracetamol...ampiciline(this is so common in Laos) it is worth if you don't know anybody when u go to the hospital because u have to wait for ages to have a check up but if someone is a friend's of a nurse or know the d.r they don't have to wait is that fair?. there are no fairness in laos it is not what you know but who you know..... those thing rarely happen in here people are equal no matter waht u are rich or poor famous or not they will treat u equally even thought u are the president of the country and u are li8ning up for going to the bank or whateever u still have to line up and wait until you turn....have aanybody seen that in Laos? i think the answer will be NO..
that's about the health care and equality. Other thing is that people here are more individualistic before i came to AUstralia i hate individualistic attitude and i am scary of being oversea because i thought that people won't help each other they won't care about each other..but i was wrong they do care people they know and they do care people. when they love someone they mean it and they show it unlike in our country u can't show you love in public because people will criticise...do lao people hug their parents in Laos kiss their parents ..friends..boyfriends...NO(but do they want to? in my opinion they do but they just feel chicky or maybe feel embarrass...no one criticise u or maybe they do but no one cares if they criticise you that's their problems...
i want to write more but i have no time overall
the money is better,the life is better,the culture is also good in a way,and people are more educated and constructive no criticising, freedom yes sure i miss my family but i can go to visit them every year i love my life here but i love my family there.

This is a view from Japan!
We never lost our human resources. More people go to study abroad, laos will get more resource, more intelligent people and more wealthy person. They can also contribute to develop our country socially and economically by sending back knowlwdge and budget. If people are rich in the term of education, our country will be wealthy as well. Study is also a kind of doing business. Working abroad after finishing study also is a circle of gaining the need for people `s life in their future. When people make a good living, one day they will contribute to their family, brothers, sisters and relatives. Their contribution can be gone back to their own country. So they also develop our society as whole.

It's funny my posted comments suddenly disappeared from this message board. Laoupdate wemaster, are we not allow to express about certain topics here? I thought this is an open and free thinking forum. How convienence. I guess any comments that may constitue as negative comments about Laos are electronically and swiftly removed. Yeah, this message will not be here tomorrow. I just hope it was just a technical error in cyberspace.

[Laoupdate]

Everyone has your own right to express your idea, and we also have our own right to edit or delete the message that are not appropriate, especially the anti-government group, becuase it will cause troblem to us who live in Laos.
Hope you understand us, and participate in our forum as usual.

i undrestand both of you JD and Laoupdate....But if we can't express anything toward those people...So they will thing they are rigth all the way! So bad!

[JD]

Thanks Laoupdate webmaster. I total understand your concern. You just prove my point. When I wrote the comments I realized that everyone has angle and I fully and equally respects all views but with no malice intentions other than kinda tough love to my motherland. I too, want Laos, my mother homeland, to transpire into a modern society. Lao abroad can only do so much but it is up the habitants to manifest any humanities and properous country. For the record, I don't belong to any "anti-government" group. Labeling people? Mutual respects. You obviously have the right to censor the text. Censorship itself is a right. Anyway, thanks for you 2 cent ( comments ) laoupdate. I think you guys just open can of worms and hopefully we, as Lao people, living or abroad, find ways to help our "Laos." Bo, thank you too. By the way, are you the "BO" from Sac... I give you a hint.. Juyl 8th writing water rafting... send me an email if you are the "BO."

[Bannork]

Easy answer. Money, and Job. if I am going back, do I will have the job or I will be unemploy?
95% of the time we will be unemployed.
Stay here make better living, save up some money opening bussiness in Lao. that is the only way I will be able to help My loving motherland, this is the only way I know how to helping my beautiful country.

[Belle]

Wow, I can’t believe the forum is restricted from posting certain comments or messages. To me this is a contradiction of what Lao People’s Democratic Republic stands for. I understand that LaoUpdate does not want to be associated with any anti-government STUFF but how are we going to change things in Laos when we are too afraid to speak. We have a forum about losing resources but yet we cannot speak our minds or be opinionated. I’m sadly disappointed.

JD, I like to hear what you have to say. Please send me your comments to [e-mail].
