I've been working in Msia now for 2 years after living in Australia for over 20 years.

Have to say, after having first hand experience of both countries, i am imtending to return to Aus after another year. The job market is bad at the moment, but in terms of freedom of speech, crime rate, dollar power, better pay, it looks good.

But mind you, the cost of living in Aus is much higher. You won't find cheap mamak food. I've heard of many Malaysians moving to Aus but been stuck looking for a job. I was asked not to return by many Malaysians, but have to say, after working under Malaysian mentality run companies and the great divide and treatment between Malay in power and Chinese, i'm pro brain drain!

Good luck for those moving to Aus! I'll be returning to join you! After holding on to my Msian passport, after 2 years in Msia, i'm going to drop it for an Australian Citizenship when possible!
