Both are closed for new applications...
I did not commit any crime so 

Unfortunately I completed my degree 3+0 as the 485 need a 2 year study period in Australia and that is more for recent graduates. Not too keen in Singapore due to their working culture and kiasu mentality.

My degree is Bachelor of Commerce (Major Marketing & Management) so I guess it's not really in demand as they are looking more for engineers and nurses etc.

Honestly not too choosy into job selection as it's just for temporary until I obtain the PR hopefully. I got a friend who work as a front desk in a hotel until he got his PR but in my case even retail shop, shopping center, supermarket will do.

Just a reference

Stop believing in these craps. The grass is not totally green over the other side

Well.. Best way for anyone without PR who wanna work here is to get a 457 sponsor..What kind of work are you looking for? Try securing for an interview before you buy your flight ticket to Australia for interview.

if you plan to come here to hunt for an employer who is willing to sponsor you a 457, I trust you are aware that chances of getting even an interview is very low.nthere are people who came on working holiday visa tried 1 year and still can't get a 457 to stay on in Australia.

What degree did you study? Not on the skill occupation list to qualify for PR?

I do know ppl who came here with 'student' visa.. They have some working rights .. Up to 20 hours a week but illegally they work more than 20 hours and the business pays them in cash. Some of them do go for classes but some don't. These are waitressing jobs...

If you are looking for a proper corp job... Good luck!

Bolehlanders pay high taxes too, including toll n various government service charges. Overall, the rate is about the same for both or even higher than Australia. 

A slight oversimplification. U pay 45% only for every $1 ABOVE $180K (which is not what 'normal' ppl earn anyway).
Also for lower income earners, there are tax rebates for ppl with families, rental assistance etc.

Another way of offsetting tax is to buy an expensive car, tax-free....

Yeah, wait until u got RM100k income per annum then u won't migrate dy....
u forgot the expenses of GST my friend.
