For long weekends - locally. There’s a lot of regional towns to visit.

For longer holidays, Bali. Just kidding. We just recently returned from Japan, our first proper holiday since moving here. With Australia being so far away from everywhere else and having to bring kids along, holidays aren’t as fun (or as cheap) as it used to be. Other than going back to Malaysia probably once a year, we’re trying to squeeze in one long holiday every 2 years or so.

Even KWSP which you don't have access to? The taxes are what make me hesitant to move there. Very high tax Vs Malaysia tax. Not to mention all my overseas investment in Malsysia are tax free.

This is just one aspect. All the acocunting and book keeping. If it's just open brokerage and invest yourself without need for keeping record, don't mind it.
