there is not about gold, in the end of the day is where we comfortable live on.
There may be discrimination of welfare and policy in Malaysia but I sometimes asked myself, do I really get affect? we grown up in a world without asking for donations or help from government, so we lived with that. And can make money, put food on table, and even have money to migrate if we want. We buy property without caring about bumi or non bumi thing.

I don't think we will became lazy in Aussie and also we also don't want to expect our Children ask for welfare in Aussie, and rely on it.

I also have dillemma but I don't force myself to move to Aussie. I only follow the scent of where the biggest chunk of money can come. lol, if it is is Cambodia, or Vietnam now with bombastic manufacturing opportunity, why not lol.

it is good to have second choice, thats why I did the same. Waiting to renew my visa and over again probably for until they are mature enough.

I did however, also thought Singapore will second choice for my kids because of value of upbringing about the same as the local schools in Malaysia, but more competitive and probably more peer pressure.

There is also another thing about having my kids in Aussie, it is true they can be more socialized and open, but I don't want them to turn into Puberty period when they are teenage lol. because i saw 2 of my relatives teenage kids behave like western kids, thick cosmetic and body revealing photos in FB and insta, and probably too much too close to their male friends. I thought it could be me being too kolot(outdated mindset). I hated myself for thinking that way, but i want just want to protect them more.

it is, but i need to correct a bit.

In Malaysia, my first child is now in a decent pre-school. I am paying about RM 900 per month for montessori, not to say the super expensive one. but is another different method that Kinder.

She is getting alot of positive teachings from her Malaysian teachers. And since she entered the school, she became more independent than her cousins, she is entering 6. My wife thought it is her atttitude that followed my DNA, but when we attended New Year party last year, i was surprised to see other kids behave the same. Though i can't say much because she is only early stage but definately better than before she enter about 1.5 year ago.

and i think Independent is very subjective word to use. Some kids who do not attend school until age 5 here in Malaysia were independent already, because of home teaching. I do also surveyed many schools recently with my SIL's children, standing outside of classrooms and see how kids react. It is surprisingly many kids are different from our time. Not like silent or shy when the teacher asking questions, i visited both government and chinese vernacular school.

It is always a growing perception Malaysian parents are being brainwashed that overseas syllabus are better or moving to study overseas are better.

As a parents and adult, we need to be rational to not think the 3rd world country education system is always bad. This mentality will affect alot of genuine teachers who have the true passion to teach. I once met up with a group of teacher from a school for some job related, you know the most unfair thing for them to hear? Kids who are graduated from their school that are being send to overseas, mentioning Malaysia education is low quality, how in the first place the kid can pass the prerequisite to enter good college overseas? Because the childrens are entitiled, doesn't mean that they should degrade this teaching, it is equivalent to degrading the teachers. I was like that, and I have changed.

And in the end what will happen to the passionate teachers? they will be always the one that get blamed for nothing by the rich and entitled.

memorising? you mean very traditional way of government schools?

Sorry to say, I believe this thinking is outdated as my kids arent memorizing anything until today, neither her future schools that I already surveyed. there are many choices now in Malaysia, from public to private. There are plenty of schools now in Malaysia follows the international teaching methods. When I was in Melbourne U i also require to memorizing facts. Taylors, Sunway private too.

There are plenty of choices in Malaysia and Singapore now, we do not have to generalize the schools that you attended 'memorizing' 'uncritical thinking' applies to all the schools. I can recommend you links of the choices if you want. There are so many of them now compared to our time.

again, I think we need to stop the perception and assumption of schools are always better at a foreign land.

maybe now is good time to buy this

the last time when government hand out 1k AUD to each family prior to boxing day, many of my friends didn't use it.

true. imagine when you are reaching 50s, and u realize your eagle years had gone, and u only saved up not even enough until life end.

some say can still work what. but when bones ands brain slowed down, it will be so challenging to past through the final few years before retirement.

my only investment is through FSM (fundsupermart).
Averagely getting back 7-9% in good years, worst-case scenario is 4-5%.

But I love to invest in business more. Currently have 2 self funded business. 1 is main another is side income. I wish i can replicate these in Aussie.

Can someone tell me where can I racism in Aussie? I am considering doing this. It doesn't affect me but I do believe Aussie should revoke this racist PR holder in Aussie.

I will make short summary:
This guy lives in Aussie. he has a start up in Malaysia. He doesn't even need to be back in Malaysia.
So we all know the dumb BMF moves are all around.

1.) A non-Bumi company distributing Aussie products in Malaysia and Singapore.
2.) This product sells very well, so he dug out the info that there is only 1 Bumi, but not a major shareholder of this company. Thus not a bumi company.
3.) So since he has many followers, he influences them indirectly about BMF, not to buy this brand anymore.
4.) But the thing is that the product is 100% produced in Aussie, meaning he also indirectly hurt the Aussie producer sales volume.

I do believe the Aussie government will look into this because it is a trade involved Aussie economy.
Any guide for me to report them in Aussie website?

I got a few japanese work mates moved there with endless employment pass lol. Mont kiara is a nice place

Correction: It was concerning Since Sabah Election.

no lol. unless you know any friends who work as housewives they willing to help you but still 90 aud+ per day. Now i think raised to 120-140 depending on location.

Those days I just have my wife stay at home.

it is always this way.

part of the past reason is people trying to take advantage of the Malaysian subsidies or cheap prices using dual citizenship a long time ago.
I don't think is so much lucrative now. But it still applies to some people.

agent will beautify your resumes and place your application.
I was a marketing specialist way back then, but also in charge of procurement and category manager.

So my CVs did include both skills. Where Vetassas recognize.

But you got to tell your HR or boss to acknowledge it for you if the officer calls to verify. it has to be genuine.

Have you tried to applied for RRV? I heard some just keep applying for 1 year RRV for the sake of keeping the visa every year.

My friend was in an Alumni of his previous Uni, apparently a lot of people came back like you and never renewed. if it is for retirement then I would understand. they just let it expire without doing anything which some of them did.

But if it is still young I am thinking very wasteful. But per visa is AUD 410 per year renewal. assuming you have children and a spouse could go all the way up to thousands a year.

I am in my dilemma if I should renew it since my business expanded exponentially in the past 2 years. Like what will happen if i wanted to move again in maybe 10 years time when my kids grow up? Will it affect the application. since it was expired once.

I can only get 5 years renewal if I fulfilled the stay period of 2 years of the 5 years of the PR eligibility.

if i don't fulfill the 2 years stay, i can only get 1 year per renewal.
