u know the moon is always much bigger overseas.... and the rice from your neighbor's house always taste better.

For us staying here for our whole life.... i think Malaysia is ok, racist is always around becoz of politician who benefits from it.
Job market, IT i am not sure but so far everyone is surviving.
As for Traffic.... depends where u work, if u Cheras to KLCC u can use public transport such as MRT now. As for me, i give up on traffic and move to a place near my office, benefits of not working in KL town.
Education.... i think this one as a parents need to guide your kid on what passion and what they want. If u leave it to our education system they most likely until they university graduate they also dont know what they want to do.
