Just picked up on this thread. You are asking many questions without giving us many parameters to work with so my answers will be highly generalised.

So there is a question of trade off here I can only answer partially. You value your family and friends at x, while on the other side, you would be giving up x for the following things in Australia
- "Higher Pay". So net wealth, after converting to MYR. On a net basis, you will be wealthier overall working here.
- Cleaner Air
- Western Work Lifestyle: 9-5 hours generally (depends on industry), and less of a command and control type management
- Overseas experience: broaden your views and experience

These things have individuals values unique to you which sum to y.

You need to help me out by defining better

Finish study in Malaysia --> get graduate job in Australia. This route is basically impossible. I'm going to assume the reason for this is obvious.

Study in Malaysia --> Transfer/Study in Australia --> get graduate job in Australia. Doable but you have two constraints (one is likely insurmountable)

1.) Do you have enough money to go to Australia to study
2.) When you graduate, will you get a VISA to work in Australia? I don't know. But you can look here https://www.acacia-au.com/Getting_your_PR_2013_part_one.php. All I will say is that the accounting/finance field is exceptionally competitive in Australia at the graduate level (even for locals). I know of only 1 Malaysian ever getting a job here in that field after studying. 1 out of 200+ I became friends with while studying.

Study in Malaysia --> Work at MNC --> Transfer to Australia

This is basically from what I can see your best bet. That or marry an Australian girl.

Perhaps the best litmus test you can perform is by asking yourself, how am I different from all the other Malaysians out there in my peer group? If the answer is, you're not, then you're just counting on luck...But if you can honestly say to yourself, that you are more open, more extroverted, different in some way that can help you stand out in a positive way in Australia (or even Malaysia), then I would say go for it.

Obviously posting this question on this forum and thinking it is possible to go already differentiates you from a lot of others.

Best of luck to you.
