Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,363 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(HappyA_Q @ Sep 23 2020, 07:02 AM) Hi forumers, It has been really a long time since I last posted in this forum. This has always been a good platform for us to share information, which I appreciated a lot. Now, after working for many years regionally and living overseas, and have stayed in NZ for close to 10 years now, I am considering to move back to Malaysia with my family next year. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I have a few questions which I hope forumers can help to answer:- 1) How's the job market in KL? I am in the IT industry, with an engineering degree, with experiences from engineering, marketing, sales and business developments. Have had quite good experiences with a couple of MNCs and proven track records under my belt. With Covid-19 now, I believe the market is quite fragile and lots of unemployment which is the same as everywhere in the world. 2) How are the school education? I have read and heard from many mates that most children nowadays are sent to private schools as public schools system are getting worse? I don't understand the part where public school is not good. Appreciate answers from forumers whom have children in school~ :-) 3) How are the safety and crime rates in KL? How's the traffic situation? 10 years ago, it took me 1-1.5 hour just to drive from Cheras Leisure Mall to KLCC, and this is only about 10km drive. Not sure if this changes much after so many years of road constructions, MRT/LRT built. Safety wasn't great back then either, friends will tell me about their family/friends being daylight robbed by snatch thieves. Lots of fraud cases, phone scams trying to cheat elderly's hard earned savings. 4) Anything else that you would like to share about Malaysia/KL that you deemed I should know about? Understood many forumers would be asking why go back to Malaysia? There will be mixed opinions of overseas better, pay is higher, fair systems etc., and politics questions might popped up. There are just something that can't be replaced in life, called family. Appreciate heaps for the support~ Questions: i) May I ask what do you mean by "fair systems"? ii) Do you have family members in Malaysia? iii) Are you still a Malaysian citizen?

My kids grown up here and they don't understand what does racist mean. School system doesn't discriminate them by race. Everyone has their own role to play in a community regardless of their professions. Minimum pay here is $18.90, and you get that pay when you're working in KFC/McDonald's. I'm going a bit off topic here.. Talking about racism in professional workplace, I don't really think so as have seen quite a few migrants are on high-level management positions and some managed to be in CxO levels, and some are successful politicians. Totally agree with this... embrace the culture, get involved in the community, you won't feel discriminated. Fair systems: 1. Tax system based on your income, not by race. 2. Entry to tertiary education is by merit, not by quota. 3. Your tax paid are put into good use to community, i.e. road construction, park maintenance, healthcare. Children and elderly people are well taken care of in terms of healthcare, education, etc. More info can be found online. 4. Minimum pay is well defined and obeyed by law, any companies not following this are sued in court and this cant be settled via under table $. Yes I do have extended family members in Msia. And my own family are Malaysian citizens. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thank you sweet pez, appreciate your long reply. Appreciate your effort taking the time and thoughts to reply them 1 by 1. Have you asked your family members what are their opinions about you & your family moving back to Malaysia?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 8,363 posts Joined: Feb 2014	QUOTE(HappyA_Q @ Sep 24 2020, 11:27 AM) NZ is a good country, nothing wrong. Just missing home, and sometimes kind of boring when you get to sleep at 10pm. And you won't be able to get teh tarik and roti canai anytime you want. Mixed opinions.. extended family back in KL run their own businesses and always welcome us to go back to grow family businesses. Own family here prefers NZ due to safety, weather, they have now treated NZ as home. I guess if there are good package to relocate back to KL, and can afford kids to attend private/international school, it will be a good run. But due to Covid, economy is not too good, should be blessed that we still have businesses and/or employed. Ahhh... if in this case, just stay in NZ la.
