I know a number of people who went to Australia, got permanent residency and returned home (Malaysia or Singapore) after 8 years or more. The ones I know are teachers, lawyer, accountant, school principal and sales managers.



I am asking because one uncle has been asking me so many times to go there (they renting a new place in Doncaster) but I heard life over there is good if you live in the Asian dominated suburbs. He sold his A$450,000 home after getting random racial abuses and spray painted words on his fence. He and his family only use the car to go in and out from his Frankston home, never walk outside home or hang around at the bus stop to take the bus. '






Are things so much better over there or is exaggerated? Anyone else gone there before to live for a while?

I was in Queensland city for two months. There were lots of Asian looking people. Cars much cheaper! Many people seemed to be ok. Of course not not sure how things would be if one is not a tourist.

When we went to outer Cairns, some people starred at us.





Last month my uncle said he was told loudly by a woman with British accent at medicare office to fill out properly or go for English classes! My uncle has been there for 20 years in Aust. He studied at Monash and Taylors College!

yes. everyone has different experiences. depends on who they mixed with and where they stay.

you said it exactly what i think abt many of their kampung type of pple but our tourist agencies here do not want travelers to know.
