Nemanis bro, mind sharing which age group are u in now, early/ mid/ late 20s or 30s? I am sharing the same concerns too and why I want to migrate, in the past I was keen but still 50-50, but in the past couple of years I started becoming parents and looking at all things happening, my 50 to stay back had almost dropped to nil. But my struggle now is I am 40yo now, I am willing to forego all I have built in Msia, career, salary, status to exchange a more affordable, quality and fair education for my children, but at the same time worrying if Oz today is still as good as people who migrated many years ago claimed, reading the threads here I am a little worried. Job securing is another concern, I know I definitely won't get the same opportunity as I have here, I have lowered my own expectation and ready to switch profession. Would appreciate some feedback from people who have gone through the same struggle and some share of experience.

You're missing the point. The reason getting PR for children education is the fees is very much lower. If you're citizens here, children will enjoy very low uni fees. If you're studying in malaysia in Ozzie uni, they still charge you on foreign fees but at cheaper rate in RM.
Don't forget, once your children having the degree, is he/she still serving the BN gomen managed country? Is he/she still submit tax to the mismanagement BN administration? Are they able to payback all the uni fees or still in debts before start work? How bout pension?

Few major factor parents in malaysia facing:-
1) Children education fees till uni
2) Pension (EPF?I don't think so)
3) House?
4) Cars?
5) Food
6) Salary (Employment guarantee till u die, but low salary)

Another few major factor Ozzie parents facing:-
1) Tax
2) House
3) Utilities (elec & water damn expensive)
4) Salary (Employment not very guarantee but earn high salary)
5) Council levy

Anyone who wish to add, please highlight. Hope this will give you idea on migrating or not

Yes I know I was missing the main point of this thread. I was commenting because I saw some people considering migrating to Australia solely because of children's future education. The parents will be missing their career in Malaysia. They may be giving up >RM20k per month salary (both husband + wife working) or maybe more, and heads to some foreign countries with a lot of uncertainty. The tuition fees for eg. Monash business course is "only" RM32k

How much lower is the fees for PR's children in Australia high school and university ? Does it really worth to migrate just for the RM32k ?

Migrating to a great country like Australia is a good choice. For the life style, for the true democracy, for the 1st world country status, for many other reasons else etc. I was just pointing out migrating solely for the reason of children's education is a lot of sacrifice. With their career in tact in Malaysia, they may still be able to provide their children with Australian tertiary education without migrating

My parents have a career in Malaysia, but not to the extend of RM 20k per month.

My mum works quite high up the rank with the government, but only like RM 6-7k per month only. 

The only person I know earns RM 20k per month is like the General Manager of an organisation with 600+ employee. The rest ... senior manager.. maybe only RM 10k. The General manager is like 50+, while the senior manager is like late 30s.

That means my whole family should migrate since we're not so successful in Malaysia? 
If by good money means RM 20k per month, then I really should migrate. 

IMHO I would have more choices, freedom and opportunities if I had an Australian citizenship. Let me tell you what I face:
- I want to teach English in Japan, just for an short-term experience ----> Cannot!! Because I do not a citizenship from an English speaking country;
- I want to apply for a working holiday visa in Canada, to experience/travel in North America ----> Cannot!! Because I'm not a citizen of Australia, NZ, Nordic countries or Japan.

It's undeniable that holding an Australian citizenship has a better reputation than a Malaysian citizenship. Being educated (primary & secondary) in Australia is also better in terms of reputation than educated in Malaysia. Primary & secondary education in some advance countries also include music, like piano or violin in class, something that I never had. Australia also offers foreign languages class like French, Spanish, Italian, German ... something that I ... unfortunately also never had. 
edit: meanwhile in Malaysia, must score A1 in pendidikan moral just to secure a scholarship!!

My dream is to hold multiple citizenships, so that I can have more freedom!!
PR is not sufficient because I don't plan to stay in Australia for a long term, and it cannot be renewed if I do not stay in Australia for enough days.

Exactly!! Which is why I'm not looking to take up US citizenship.

I've also looked at the tax treaties, and in some advanced countries, you're not liable unless you stay more than 183 days in that country.

Nothing ...

I just want to live sufficiently long in each desired country and apply for their citizenship. It's a dream anyway .. the easiest is you get married multiple times. 

No lah .. I don't plan to settle in Japan. I just want to experience the lifestyle & culture of Japan. Won't be staying longer than 1 year. I'd never get used with their excessive formality. That's why I'm looking for a simple job that roughly enough for me to travel & experience Japan. Japan government has exchange program to cater for this need, so that ppl from other countries can come to experience their country, sadly it is restricted by nationality.

As for Australia/Canada, just want to work/live to experience it. Max I'll stay is 5 or 6 years. Getting their citizenship(s) is like a "to-do-list" or "bucket list". Nothing more!!

I'm definitely settling down here in Europe. That's for sure!!

Or you rather pay lower tax with lots of crime?

do you sure the malaysian statistic is accurate enuf to do comparison???

y no statistic on snaatch thieves???

and how bout smash n grab cases???

What is wrong with higher tax bracket? It just means you are getting more income, and I'll always welcome more income and pay more tax any day. Furthermore, there are so many ways to legally reduce tax and it is not uncommon to reduce it by 60%-70%.

I get the idea from my own eyes. And I believe your source is outdated

I also don't think with my 5 years of living in Australia, 1 group of Malaysia friends and many close ex-colleagues are less though. Who are you to judge me anyway?

I can simply provide more source but I only give you this one which is at the first page in Google. Go figure
http://www.numbeo.com/crime/gmaps_rankings_country.jsp

Urban area may have lots of crime rate but do you really want to stay there for long just to experience the crime?

I know you are not stupid so stop getting the facts wrong

ib = investment banker? Me? When did I mention I am/was/will be one? What does demand for a specific job have to do with personal income taxes anyway.

Again, get your facts right first. Stop twisting around. It makes you look like a fool.

10years ago(your source most likely ten years ago)  in Malaysia is a lot different compare to now. I can ride bicycle in the midnight alone to back home without worries but not now any more.

And sorry, I get the crime rate from news rather than my friend so stop giving out your random assumption again

So you provided the source but then you are not iinterested? So you just copy the link without really read it?

I remember you said Australia is very bad in every way compare to Malaysia, bla bla bla, but nowyou asked me tto stay in Malaysia because of lack of understanding? Does that mean Australian have better understanding than Malaysia? Are you trying to twist your words again?

I think Ishould ignore you once again. No point to see you keep twisting yyour own words

I doubt robert comment. seems he don't really understand what he's talking about. Different channel i guess

Now u get some info from somewhere which u dun really look at it. Throwing some outdated shit & bullshitting everywhere.
For me its a irresponsible act.

To be honest I don't see anything as bullshit. Like what the professors always say, no ideas or questions are dumb or ridiculous. I'm pretty sure those who plans to migrate would have a certain level of intellectual to differentiate what is useful and not useful for them. There's no need to call people names and I have to stress that it is very unethical. =) All the best in the future discussion, I'm in no position to talk about the safety issues in both Australia and Malaysia.
