imho, the australian education system is very good because the lecturers are actually getting paid what they deserve, but as for their work structure im not too sure. maybe for the short run it would be good to work in australia but i believe it would be difficult to start a life in australia unless you have lots of money. tax is high, along with rent and utilities and such. it would be difficult because no matter how long you stay there, you would be seen as first generation and thus seen as a second class citizen and it would be difficult for someone to get a house, or loans and such esp after the crisis. i dunno if the guy is being supported by his family or not while he is living there, but if i was his parents i would stop sending money once he started working just so he can be independant. its a difficult decision for me/you/his/her/them and lots of things need to be considered.
i think the politics in malaysia suck and sometimes get carried away on unimportant issues, but its not really affecting my way of life much at all in malaysia other than a few price increases once in a while which is common in any country. i dunno why people wanna run away for
but it does give good topics for discussion.
No doubt about the meritocracy system; but have you notice the New Education Revolution in making now?
Here are some perception that people rather go "out".
1. Internal education casting system that champion the one based on racial/status quo
2. Currency
3. the doubt & rotten of society about Msia NEP.
4. the immature of Msian mentality regarding west & eastern civilization.
5. Logical of following what other thought about rather more of sit down & think over it.
6. Just look at general West Malaysian, why go SG not stuck in KL work it out? mooolah,...all about mooolah.

Far better than having 10 medical schools sprout out of nowhere for the monies of desperate parents wanting their beloved child to be a doctor, at any cost.
And the rising dollar? It will find its equilibrium. A rising dollar only affects the exporters. As consumers, it is actually a boon, as imports become cheaper, holidays are more affordable.
Far better than the unchecked number of illegal immigrants roaming the streets of Malaysia, committing crimes and getting away with it. with some of them becoming citizens with full bumiputera rights.
Is it any different from the 2 million Malaysians that have emigrated out of Malaysia due to racism at all levels, from your school to your work to when you buy a house?
Frankly, only a few Indian nationals out of the
234,718 in Australia are targeted, and it is a national calamity for overseas Indians. Don't get me wrong, I condemn any kind of unprovoked attack, and I will not be silent if there were targeted attacks on Malaysians, but I personally think it is far better than being discriminated and "attacked" wholesale by the government itself.
At least the Australian authorities (publicly at least) acknowledge there is a problem; a solution is a separate matter altogether. In Bolehland? This joke gives an idea how racism is treated in Malaysia:
CODE
If it is a Malay problem, it is a national problem
If it is a Chinese problem, it is a racial problem
If it is a Indian problem, there is no problem
I'm not so sure about that. When my workmate started the same job I'm doing, he got RM1200/month. 12 years later, the starting salary of a fresh grad network administrator is still ~RM1200. RM1500 tops if you're lucky. Thats just a 12% salary increase over 12 years, Who believes the inflation rate in Malaysia is around 2% a year?
Retire? My grandfather, a long time senior government servant, scrapes by with a pension allocated to him in the 1980's. Suffice to say, you can't survive in 2010 with a 1980's cash inflow.
No, Malaysia is not "that worst", and I still call Malaysia home. So do many Malaysians overseas who hold Permanent Residency in their new adopted country hanging on to their Malaysian Passport. There are some things going for Malaysia: food for instance, and if there is one thing that Malaysia does not lack, it is water. But some things are done differently in other places, and some things are done better.
I do not think that Australia without flaws: it is a bit too Right leaning for my liking in certain aspects, through less
Right than Malaysia. But I will bet the same question was going through the minds of many Malaysians who trace their roots from elsewhere. If China was that great and grand, why did they leave? If Malaysia is so nice, why do all of us know a relative/friend who have emigrated elsewhere?
1. that about medical/health; speak to Minister of education of their Policy setting.
2. about rising dollar, not just exporters but also the domestic market in Australia.Yada Yada you may get heaps of import`s discount with devalue of USD.. but dont forget. Risk aversion currency in play; you never know when will someone pull the plug & crushing down you go...
Again, this really depend on the macro/micro economy to level it up.I`m not going deep into it.
3. make it easy discuss, which country not racist & their status quo up level this day? if you felt threaten, you will do anyhow just to champion your way up. But for racist & this indian issue; its more complex than Msia. Msia is another case of Malay(UMNO perkasa, UMNO warlords,) MCA MIC champion over the old method..races.. vs Middle Malaysia.
Get the logic of Msia society now, its so fabricated to the core that race issue is really old leaf, you need to table the new leaf where to.. get everyone level..doesn't matter if you are indian, or so called Msian chinese or Malay or Bumiputra ethnicity. The status quo of Malaysia like to provoke is cos i`m Malay, I got the right to 30% of company etc..then this & that..
or Chinese run the economy..or Indian stay in the rubber estate or just construction worker. Its just not there.
You feel more you are Aussiefied citizen than you are Msian citizen when you come here. Equal rights.
4. Human emigrant around the world is uncontrollable to be speaking. Whats the different from the flow of Hongkies to Canada, NZ & Australia? or the English during the discovery time of the worldwide.? Its basically the situation that willing to drive-out & opportunity of seeking a better live. For Msia context, its build up of different kinds of culture & races. So Thats Malaysia! you try to take something out, it will taste yuck, you add more it will taste sour..so yeah.
