"Global" means the whole world, not those working in australia who will be affected. Lol

What are your plans for the rainy days ahead?

As if you have millions

I guess he just wants to show off the "millions" he thinks he has. lol
Else just another of those who failed to migrate and keeps saying that Aus is not good, I met people like that during my migration journey, but just a minority.
I know people who are rich and successful but he certainly doesn't seem like one of them, the way his logic works

But I want to say I am here for the lifestyle and not money really can live quite comfortably with a mid range job.

Seems like majority of LYNers are in Perth or going to move there
Can I ask why?
I haven't been to Perth personally but I have been to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Gold Coast
Finally decided to move to Sydney as I feel that there are more jobs there and I didn't want to go unemployed for too long.
Will look to relocate to a place of my liking once every thing is stable here for me

I agree, I did my research before lodging the application myself, and that time I was in KL working Mon-Sat till late night.
Did IELTS, skills assessment, EOI as required.
All the information is readily available on the Immi website and everything is pretty straightforward.
Even applied for my de facto, got statutory declarations from parents and other evidence etc.
The only question I asked was how long it took the others for their visa grant, the waiting time is so torturing!
We got a direct grant for our PR exactly 60 days from application, I fed them all the information they could possibly want, didn't want them to ask for this and that missing docs

You know most of the states in Australia
Where are you based?

I am sure for your skills and expertise you can get $7000-8000/month after tax.
But you are already doing good with your own property
And also able to blend in well with the people here.

More than half a year here and I am still working on my language, haha
It's not the Australian accent that I'm having trouble with
But those people with strong Irish accents...I can't get what they say at times

Buddy you say that if you earn enough back in Malaysia you would prefer to stay there
But don't you think the lifestyle here is so much better?

Nope

You are renting an apartment not house, that's why you don't have to pay water bills.

You misinterpret me.

I said Nemesis1980 does not have to pay the water bill because he is renting an apartment not house.
The rental premises are not individually metered.

lol of course there's a difference, you still don't get it?




He's asking why he does not have to pay the water bill.
I replied he doesn't need to because he is renting an apartment. Tenant pays the water bill when renting a house not a unit.

Then you come in "blur blur" talking about a different thing.

He is renting an apartment unit which is not individually metered.

RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 1987 - SECT 49A

49A . Lessor’s and tenant’s responsibilities in respect of public utility services

(1) In this section —

GST has the meaning given in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Commonwealth);

public utility services has the meaning given in the Land Administration Act 1997 section 3(1).

(2) It is a term of every residential tenancy agreement that the tenant must pay a charge in relation to a public utility service provided to the premises only if —

(a) the charge is calculated by reference to consumption at the residential premises by the tenant; and

(b) the tenant is given notice in writing of the charge in relation to the public utility service, specifying —

(i) if consumption at the premises is metered — the relevant meter reading, or readings, and the charge per metered unit; or

(ii) if consumption at the premises is not metered and the lessor and tenant have agreed in writing to an alternative method of calculating the charge to be paid by the tenant — the charge calculated in accordance with the agreed method;

and

© the tenant is provided with full details of the account for the charge including —

(i) any meter readings and the charge per metered unit; or

(ii) the agreed method of calculating referred to in paragraph (b)(ii),

and the amount of GST payable in respect of the provision of the public utility service to the residential premises.

It depends on the which company you got into and some luck as well.
I am also a manager and the first company I joined in Aus gave me 20% more than my annual income in SG.
Also promotion here can be very quick if you are capable - no wait for annual appraisal, it can happen in a month's time.
I have more savings in Aus even after tax withheld and with a car - note that I had no car in SG.
There's no CPF but you should have superannuation which is 9.5% of your income.

Maybe you are too young for the relaxed lifestyle here.
For night life there are bars and clubs, can try your luck with pokies.
Isn't there late night shopping in Melbourne on Thursdays? Or you can bring your date for a movie at the cinema.

Have a think about it..Is work life balance or quality of life what you want?
Also in Australia you have 4 weeks' annual leave and back in KL or SG I think it's 14 days

And don't forget to think about the food. There are lots of good restaurants in Melbourne,
but I miss the food in Malaysia a lot!

My employer has hired 2 site engineers and 7 laborers on working holiday visas.
Salary is $80,000 p.a for engineers and $35/hr + site allowance for laborers.
Just try, nothing to lose.

Does anyone here have experience in sponsoring a work visa and what's involved in the process?
Have a few work packages and able to claim $45-65/hour labor rate from contractor.
I'm thinking to set up my own company here in Aus, will need to get public liability insurance and workers compensation.
If I can sponsor visas to some guys from China, I can pay them an hourly rate of $25/hour which is attractive to them.
Or even workers from Singapore or Malaysia, in Singapore I believe workers get around $8-10/hour.

yeah will seek professional advice for this.

It's a below average pay but good to get a foot in the door. Better opportunities will follow.

I don't think that's off-topic, good to share experience living and working in Australia. Many who moved here look for a diff lifestyle.
I'm thinking of going to camp as well
Did you have much to prepare?

I was thinking of having steamboat too, haha!
Did you use the BBQ facility or did you use the disposable BBQ in a box?
