Where have all the women gone?

Three decades ago, Lily (not her real name) boarded a London-bound flight to further her studies. At first, she had plans to return home once she graduated. But having gained recognition as an expert in her field, all plans of returning were gone.

Now, she calls the United Kingdom her home. She works in the medical sector there, and Malaysia is the country she visits almost every year to see her mother and siblings.
