bros bros bros... pls dun use average lah.. its misleading and open to any definitions. Not everyone have the same level of thoughts.

In the end, explore it. If you happy, stay, if not, just balik kampung and play guli with friends. Keep Is Simple Stupid. lol. Blame it on Citibank CIO.

i do appreciate these discussions.
i do appreciate his expertise.
Therefore i asked for data.
An objective discussion is good for the mind.

Bro,

Data is not good enuf la... u think jibby lacks data? he can give you all the data you want. lmao...

If you can keep it constructively and not like many who keep it personal and wanna argue for the sake or arguing, seemingly that there is a prize for winning the point of argument.

Let me get this right...are you implying i am not constructive?
i started by asking the quivalent of Msia earnings of Rm300k vs
AUD180k for comparisons.

i cant see where i got personal? Correct me if i am wrong

chill bro, never mean you are getting personal or not constructive. Why take it so seriuosly? I just mean if you are taking all this constructively, then, it is ok, otherwise, like many others who may take it personally and want to win every bit of the argument to prove...actually to prove what i also dont know, macam ada prize waiting for them. If i have made you confuse, i sorlee lor...anyway, kong hee fatt chai to you first....me will be hitting the road to join the balik kampung crowd later......

Thanks for the clarification.

No my intention is to find out more about working in Oz.
Whther its worth it to abandom a Rm300k salary and start over.

Anyway, you have a good journey. Bon Voyage! Drive safely!

IMO, not only pay 300K is only the reason. I think 300K is very good already.

Some may want to migrate because of discriminations, job satisfaction, friends, family, security, future for their kids, environment like air quality, food quality, etc.

Yahor....they build the LYNAS plant in Malaysia instead at Aussie......

Aussies bloody smart mate... fair dinkum... lol.

On Malaysia side. Ada lui manyak lui.. take and cabut la... dia orang mati dia punya pasai... Just like the jipun people. Karma.

prophetjul,

Based on what I said, you probably get an EQUIVALENT lifestyle between Australia and Malaysia since you will earn multiple times the AVERAGE people income in both countries. So, the reason to leave or stay has to be something else.

In my case (no I do not want to live in Australia), I consider staying in Malaysia as UNACCEPTABLE. I BELIEVE that Malaysia is heading towards Total Economy Collapse in a few years if not sooner and it may NEVER recover. Hence, for the future of my family, we must get out of Malaysia.

Many people in my community shared the same belief. Hence, even for those with good business and job in Malaysia, they sent their children oversea and has a backup plan to get out of Malaysia if needed.

i TOTALLY agree with you on the path of malaysia as a nation economically.
Just look at Marcos and Philippines. It could have happened to Msia earlier if not for our natural O & G resources and smaller pop.
Phillipines has been in the economic doldrums for the last 40 years becuase of the corruption of Marcos.

Hence, the research to migrate and if not, the future of my children.

But having a Rm300k job makes the decisions all the more difficult

Therefore my original question in the first instnace on the comparison with AUD180k job

Happy and blessed CNY to ALL~

Totally agree with your Total Economy Collapse Term. As a Y-gen of newbies who joined the working world, i din felt any sense of security in terms of malaysia future economy.

Thanks mate. Well, just "cari makan" here only. Been offered a better opportunity than I had in Malaysia, so, had to leave the home country.

Bout the requirements to get a visa in Australia, when I went for X-Ray examination for my visa renewal.
The doctor asked, "Hoping to get into Australia soon?". I replied, "Well, I'm hoping to renew my visa", and he scoffed me off and said "Hah, you wish, its much tighter nowadays".

Not sure how true it is though.


UQ ya, yeah, was planning to go and browse around if there's any good activities to join.


Yeah, had been relocated from Perth to Brisbane. I'm mostly involved in the conventional project, i.e oil, gas, and sometimes coal.
New hip of the days, would be the CSG (coal seem gas) in Queensland

Oh, you got offer ya, but turned it down? The offer not appealing enough? Hehehe...

Left Malaysia cos my Aussie bf won't be granted PR even though we get married, have a dozen kids, etc. Ridiculous. So we left for Aus, duh. No point hanging around and investing our time (and money) in KL. But we're hoping to go back in the future, settle down, and waiting for them to change the rules

Sad case for the narrow mindedness or policy in Malaysia. Money also don't want, they prefer radio active money. Smart choice.

Just get him to convert to Muslim, speak a bit of BM, and tell everyone how he is 'practicing' Malay customs. Not only will he get PR, he will get citizenship, 15% off when buying residential property and a bank loan to buy ASN/ASB based on the collateral of those bonds themselves and the instalment is equal only to the dividend paid by those bonds.... ie. free windfall paid by the other bank customers not entitled for those sweeeet loans.

The point of no return once convert... NOOOOOO Cannot let go pork and whisky lah the fella. Might as well start up a company in KL and request for work permit till eligible for MM2H

Being 'muslim' does not give him the bumiputera rights, he will be just a normal citizen. Sometimes, I do not understand how the government thinks. They should be happy that foreigners/expatriates are keen to become the Malaysia PR because they are the higher income group.

just have one question, is it worth it to left my job in aussie to go back to malaysia ???

im so bored working here, whenever i go back to msia for holiday, i felt like not coming back at all ... yeah the currency is high , but whats the point of having a lot of money when u're not happy ?

+ im at the peak years of my life, and im doing nothing but going to work come back home, sitting in front of pc, surfing doing nothing ... at least in msia people can enjoy mamak during the night, weekend can go jalan2, yeah the money in malaysia not that high, but at least u can enjoy ur life ..

so my question is, is it worth it to leave becoz i know many people would like the opportunity to work in aussie, but i already have it, and now wanna leave, really need your help ... (also wanna leave becoz of a gal )

anyway, is there any brissy here wanna hang out, im so bored out of my mind, been staying here since last may, dont know any malaysians at all .... lets lepak2 after work this week ....
