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.
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~
Family is always important no matters how you look into it. So your other concern is just merely concern when you actually coming back.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.

Job wise, not sure, alot of unemployment currently but some still manage to change job because of this pandemic. So it does not concern if you are the right person for the job.
Education, Public school are good for normal ppl. But if you have the extra money to spend, why not??
Traffic is as usual... if you expect that after the new MRT/LRT been built, there will be less car, then it might disappointed you...
Anything else you should know? Since your family is in homeland, they will fill u up better than us do.
Dun worry something is not happen yet and just prepared for any changes.
Cheers TGIF
