he/she must be saving hell-lot.

what i found out of me, the more i earn/work, the more i spent. work harder, eat better.

Maybe, the person realize that there is NO JOB SECURITY and job will not last forever. So, he/she is saving up to retire early in Malaysia.

Which comapny? I am now looking for industrial placement.. gonna graduate this july.. but no work experience at all.. this is really worrying me.. so think of looking for placement to gain some experience instead of a job.. any recommedations?

If you ask me, there is a difference between choosing to skimp on luxuries and skimping on basic nutrition.

You mean you will be in UK soon ? You get paid in pound ?

anyone here knows of any job vacancies there is in UK? ur help is appreciated.

Hey is it hard to find a job there for IT degree student with good programming skills?

is this thread still alive?
just wanna ask... if work there, when wanna come back malaysia.
how you gonna bring all the money back?

I think it is still alive. Just post your question here and i'm pretty sure there will be a lot of related people replying your question. If you want to come back to Malaysia, you can transfer your money from any bank in UK to the local bank in Malaysia. Besides that, you can also convert your money into bank draft and just bank into your account in Malaysia when you're back.

Opps, I haven't been in this thread for so long.. didn't realize there was a question directed to me.

Yeah, I'll be doing my office assignment in Gatwick, London. Unfortunately since I spend most of my time offshore I get paid in US dollars . But my housing expenses will be paid for while I'm there and the office is just a short tube ride away so I guess I don't really have a lot to complain.

You're replying a 3 months old posting. I hope the guy still read your reply

tranfer? whats the fee? or interest...
and Malaysia government let ppl to bring in so much money from other country?
if the guy work there 10,20 years and manage to save 1million pound.. meaning he will bring in 7 million ringgit.. wow

he won't be coming back to msia that's for sure

Transfer fee about 20pounds with current exchange rate apply.

i will come back malaysia if i'm there less than 5 years..
if more than that i think i can apply PR and live the life there ... EPL every week.. lol...

EPL every week ? No need to work ar ?

alots of ppl dont work on weekend in malaysia as well ma...
i'm sure Uk got job that dont have to work on weekend or at least not the match hour..

Some time got two matches per week. One on Saturday and the other match on Tuesday. Then you still ned to take at least one day off per week

overseas in UK, US & OZ all got strong labour union wan ... so no worry ......

a few of my friends worked in UK but later come back to Msia. My ex GF worked there and now working in Dubai (same salary in UK but no tax and +1k pounds for accomodation + transport)...

One of my friend said, the UK government is trying their best to tax you and London living expenses is too high to live and not much disposable income left... but he is happy when he watched the football match live.
