Hey sunbearau,
My boys are 9 and 6 who have spent most of their lives in NZ, so basically would say they are kiwi.
Thanks for sharing the experiences about how other kids treated when moved back. That's my concerns as well.
The education system here compare to Msia are totally different, each has its own advantages. To move my family back to KL, my kids will be having culture shock with all the homework that they need to complete everyday. Racism in school probably won't happen for us, as both myself and wife are Malaysians, and the kids are chinese looking anyway.

Totally agree about what you mentioned earlier about asians treated worse in ANZ. If kids are raised here, they won't be treated worse as there are lots of human rights, mutual respect, and they stand up for themselves. It's hard time for us asian parents, as we can't enforce the way we are raised (at least how I was raised) whereby parents have a lot of authority. Kids here stand up for themselves, defend and talk for themselves, pretty much very outspoken about their feelings and what they want. You can't force them to do what they don't want to do, BUT you can encourage them to do things that are right.
Great to know that you have enjoyed staying in Aus and grew up there after primary school. Also glad to know your parents enjoying their life in Malaysia now. This is also one of the options that I'm looking at, which possibly only happen 15 years later, after my kids graduated and started working.

The only avenue for your kids to study is in international school IGSCE. I think your 9 yo kid may struggle at our public school systems.
I think they may get some culture shock, our public schools tend to be a bit less on empowerment and more on following orders.
Also be a bit concern about bullying, as local kids may target your kids because they may view them as different. Maybe not so much in SRJK or International private schools.
Also the long term prospects of public school system seems to be quite dim. If PeeeN takesover they are going to introduce a range of rollover eyes type of education, which would set your kids back 10 years. And the never ending rants from these politicians over vernacular and private schools that they accuse of causing unity issues, which in fact even if non kids graduate from SMK, the entry into desired local public university degrees is only 10%.
But seriously, unless you are facing problem with employment in NZ, which is most migrants no.1 issue, I think you considering to come back to Msia, is an indication of extreme desperation.
