I open newspaper to find job and find that no employer directly advertise, all jobs have to go through job search/recruitment firms, damn sien.

Then some of my friends migrated there as manager, go there and take up substandard job as clerks, execs, restaurant helpers. Gosh is this the dream life?

Another friend, he and wife migrated there, stayed for 2 years, came back to msia recently, didn't even get any savigns because all spent on rental.

Sorry but I live in Sydney and that's totally untrue. Trains are late almost 50% of the time could be accurate, but definitely not between 10minutes to an hour. Trains are so much more dependable than buses. Besides some major problems like trees that fell on the tracks or something that fell onto the overhead lines, I've never been delayed more than 15 minutes to work by trains.

I'm also surprised by the negativity on the work culture in Malaysia, did all of you only work in chinaman companies? The past 3 companies I've worked for in Malaysia have all been excellent in both working culture and work life balance. I was able to leave at 6ish pretty much every day, my colleagues around the world respected my family time and I had decent vacation time etc. It's certainly not all bad in Malaysia either.

You have to understand there are braodly 2 types of people who migrate. One group are those genuinely wants a better living standards and another group who are just bitter at the gov and wants to get out of the country. Allthough both groups will overlap each other to a certain point.

Those who are bitter at the gov and choose to migrate, everywhere else in the world is good for them except Malaysia. Even timbaktu is better.

But for those who migrate becuase they want a better living std then better think twice. Becuase going to Aus, you might end up worse-off. Consider all the angles. Like employment, salary,etc. Yes it "seems" Australia pays better but really is it? Unless you're in one of their critical skills shortage jobs like nurse, doctors, etc you are probably not going to transfer your seniority over. That means you start from scratch at the bottom. Not a good idea when you're in your mid thirthies or fourties and made to report to someone who is 10 years your junior who probably knows lesser than you. Also they won't pay you that much as compared to what you're currently earning. Then there is the heavy taxes, glass ceilings, etc.

Then I'm also amased at people who are in managment earning like RM 20-30k a month in Malaysia who migrates to australia and leave everything behind including their well paid jobs to "let their children have quality university education ". I'm like ya, you're an idiot. With RM 20-30k p.m. salary and todays family of average 2 kids, you're telling me you cannot afford to send your kids to Australia which cost like RM 100k-RM150K a year? With RM20k-30k you'll be earning something like RM 240-RM 360k a year excluding bonus! They forfiet all that and go take a A$5k p.m. job in Australia! Are you kidding me????? Look at your opportunity cost!

You've obviously not worked anywhere else It's the same in many other places in the world.

Guys, he's a typical whinger. I think even if he's in heaven, he'll whinge that it's too quiet there.

The only reason I kept replying previously was to avoid others to think what he said is true.

To others reading this, a lot of us ARE living and working here; we know first hand what is it like here. He likes to sensationalize isolated cases. All the "stories" that he shared can be reported to Fair Work and Fair Work will come down on the employer so hard that they don't know what hit them.

Sorry for my bad english

Most of u guys here are compare life in malaysia and oz. most of them looking for exec job or high clas career. here i want to share my experience

I lived in bunbury, WA for 2 years under sports visa. Im a semi pro soccer player for local club here in bunbury. My training are in the evening tues and thurs while match either sat or sun. So most of the time im free

For the first 2-3 months was a headache as i dont have any other income and i live 'tumpang' at my fren house. Its really hard to get a house for rent here in OZ. not because the rate but most of the agent want a reference 'just like gurentor' for u to rent a house here.

So me and my wife decident to rent a room from taiwan korean couple for oz240 week for 1-2 months before we rent a house near beach for oz400 week. From there i looking for a job. I got a job as catalogue distributor ( walk ) they pay me around oz50 week. I get more serious, i bought a postie bike ( motor posmen oz) and i cover around 15 area around bunbury and i also do newspaper (with car) every wed and i can get oz400-500 week tax free. During off day ( no training ) i worked at kebab shop for oz14 hour from 6pm to 4am.
I also do casual job ( susun telur at chicken farm, stok count at reject shop ) but the best thing is, i still have a lot of time with my famili and my friends.

Average total i can get around oz1300-oz1500 tax free ( not include my soccer salary) a week. Its sound crazy but i done it for almost 2 years now.

For me, if u are hard working man, u can go there and make fortune but if u are a LAZY pig. Just stay here in Msia.

U may PM me if u wanna ask anything. Ill try my best to help u.

Yeah mate, im a bad fish here but at least im working in oz but ur not.
