Yes we know that. 457 is a working visa (4 years, i guess) for for those who has a highly specialised skill (eg particularly IT, engineering, medical etc) which can hardly be filled by local people or in a high demand occupation list and the company is willing to sponsor you because they need your skill desperately. I have my Malaysian former schoolmate who's holding a 457 visa & he's in the water engineering line...a very specialised field.
I am sure you're in a specialised field. What field are you in? if you don't mind to share or you can just PM me.

For this mercury, he knows nothing abt visa 457 or other subclass visas. He works in a Singapore bank. Banking jobs have never never been on the demand list in Aust and it's ridiculous for an Aust bank to apply for a 457 visa. Unless the company is in a highly tech industry like engineering, IT, mining, medical, then I can understand. I am in the accounting line (though it's still on demand list) & it's also ridiculous for the Big 4 firm to apply for a 457 visa. This mercury is trolling around by posting stupid comments.

My bro-in-law has been working in Australia in Construction Sector for more than 3 years. first, grauated from Malaysia Uni, work for a while in before went to UK for 2 years and then went over to Australia for 3 years plus till now. I understand he does not have a PR and not sure what type of Visa he is holding as i thouhgt it should be llike singapore's WP or so.... hmm.gif

He came back to Malaysia twice a year and cannot find a job back (with the salary he wants as he is earning around A10k/mth) in Malaysia and have die-die, to return to australia although what he claimed that in Australia - no life at all beside work. His soon-to-be-wife also work in Australia (Citibank) as she graduated in Australia. Dont know she got PR or not.

My advice is if you can go, just go and try it out. Since you are young, there is nothing to loose. I got friends who are Malaysians and has been there for 20-30 years already with kids.

Nothing to loose. If it is a good life like those who enjoyed it, jackpot.

If, not, just pack your bags and balik kampung.

Again, if you feel lonely as a Malaysian there. Just goto some badminton halls like UNSW in Sydney or Monash in Melbourne on saturday afternoon. You will definitely see some Malaysians there to mingle with. wink.gif Hope this helps mate. wink.gif Am sure there are other halls. These 2 halls are places which I have been to.

The experience is worth it. wink.gif Pain is temporary. wink.gif

Tigerr,

I will be in Kuching in cny and Taiping on 25th. I can train you there.

Any taipingkakis here?
see taipingkakis.blogspot.com
Go visit this place lah. Orang Malaysia still not supporting your own great town.

For those in Australia and need coaching. Look for Dr. Ignatius Gan. He is a veteran. Senior to Datuk Punch Gunalan. Now retiring and playing badminton in Wollongong Uni. wink.gif He can also help you to settle into Australia. If you got cancer or blood problem, go and see him. wink.gif

If his wife-to-be has been working for few years in Citibank Aust, she could be a PR but you have to ask her to double confirm.
Reply to red: your bro in law could be holding 457 work visa and with a salary A10k/mth, I think he's highly skilled in a specialised area. Normally 457 visa is for 1 day - 4 years. After this 4 yr period, it depends on the company whether they want to extend his contract or not.

biggrin.gif may be...may be when they coming back next time, i can chit chat more and ask them but i am not sound like busy body to ask in details as later they may thought that i want to go there as well.... laugh.gif seldom chit chat as from my wife side so not that close to me.....

Yup, probably highly skilled or work like a cow as i understand he got to work a lot more, according to him lar and they are not enough staffs also or boss not hiring more since the cow can take more work load...and from what i understand, his rented apartment rental machiam pay in weekly or bi-weekly. Sound machiam very expensive also....compare to Singapore.

Although the pay is machiam high...but expenses there is also high, and tax is high also....but the savings collected every month also more than his school-mate monthly pay. But, what is the use if he stays in Australia and cannot use the exchange rate power. Only can spend like king when come back holiday.

Oh, tns, didn't know you cilaka stays in Sg. Am coaching in Yishun lah. The YTSS hall is rubberised. You can see the flooring and shuttles waiting for you thro my avatar. wink.gif You FB me already? 'ex pow'.

Other places in Australia is Sydney Uni. Not sure if they fixed the old hall. Melbourne uni also can play. Normally they have tournaments in Liverpool, Sydney and MSAC in Melbourne.

Haha....never been to YTSS...only CCK sports hall (got air-con) and Jurong sport hall but no rubber mate.

If i go to YTSS, sure kena piak piak kao kao by you as i not even trained into an imitate LCW 2 yet..... laugh.gif

while holding student visa, a student cannot apply for PR. Probably (I guess) after completing his study, this mercury tried to apply for PR but for whatever reasons, maybe his application was unsuccessful. That's why now he's holding the grudge for revenge & so jealous of people migrating.
haha...this means he failed to eat the grapes and now debating that all the grapes in Australia are sour type..... tongue.gif

I might want to go try and work in Australia one day if got chance as our HQ is based in Melbourne. Hopefully, one day i can get to transfer there and i can come and tell whether this mercury is right or wrong.... tongue.gif

i do understand what you meant.

BTW i think you also mean average earnings per capita instead of GDP which is gross domestic production.
Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period

i dont think its a strict maths comparison as taxes, medical etc comes into it. i think the net earnings is probably more
accurate plus afew other indicators.

Taxes in Msia is different. Note the number of tax payors in Msia is actually very few compared to working pop.
As i undersatnd like only in excess of 1 mil compared to 8mil working pop.
So in essense the av income earners do not pay the taxes in Msia. Its borned by the high income earners.
USD8600 = RM26k will not attract income tax.
Just my understanding..can anyone verify this?

i do not know lar, but from the day 1 i started working in the 90s, i pay taxes till today. Am i average earners? Yes, definately....as i not high income earners....when can i stop paying tax like Brunei??? laugh.gif

if a person cannot live on Rm26k as you seem to suggest(forgive me if i misread), what biz
do they have buying a car?   

let me see about taxes

income, service, gomen, excise, import, export, cesses, property assessment, sales,

On high car import taxes, you have to refer to Singapore as well.......

Methink everywhere, not just Msia, Gomens run the economy........afterall they set the policies.
More biz, more tax, more income......

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

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. rclxms.gif

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...... biggrin.gif

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...... biggrin.gif
