Well.....personally looking at the situation in Malaysia, I don't think it's trajectory gonna change anytime in the future, barring any gamechanger. It doesn't matter which party is in power, the trend will not change.

So, do you think that building a life in Malaysia is still the best option for most people and for their children? Or is going overseas the better option?

For me both have their pros and cons but I can share with you what I see to be pros and cons.
Pros of staying in Malaysia:

- Low cost of living
- Familiar environment
- More laid back compared to fighting it out overseas
- Familiar food
- Familar culture

Cons of Malaysia

- Weak currency
- Economy is falling further and further behind every year and doesn't look to be recovering
- Education is quite lacking
Pros of migrating

- Higher earning with stronger exchange rate
- Better education
- More developed industries for the aspiring person

Cons of migrating

- Most of the developed world has insane housing and living costs which minimize or negate any advantage in earning power increase
- Stressful as you are a migrant
- Not familiar food
Hence, I think, the best is to work in Singapore then retire in Malaysia. Earn SGD then retire in Malaysia to spend it. It is better than working in Australia, US, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan which is probably a struggle to earn enough to have a high quality of living.

It is also better than working in Malaysia and struggling with the weak currency as well

Do you agree?

Your forget :

1. Safety
2. No rnr

Still contemplating if I should retire in Malaysia after >10 years living in europe

Not sure I can adapt to the head and humidity in Malaysia

But convert GBP to MYR is very good

safety is huge factor

i drive in marehsia i feel fearful. if motobodo langgar me, i have to run away because idiots will think i sarahan

in SG no need so difficult.. just follow law everything nice...

if you manage to find such jobs

bear in mind SG employers could just hire from cheaper countries, and they can lowball you kao kao, pay you in RM only

I can possibly do the commute to SG thing from JB. I only need to go office 2-3 times a week. Only thing is my children's schooling. If they school here, then I will probably stay on in SG until they finish school.

Hiring Msian has more advantages over other countries. Put aside cultural similarities, Msian can stay in JB, go to SG office few days a week, few days a month. This enables company to pay lower, Msian saves rental n expenses in SG. If u’re existing staff, it’s like a payrise. My company has this policy even for Singaporean staff. My frens n neighbours have such jobs. Even Msia company also start to offer such arrangement already
If have kids, better stay in SG. Childcare is in the office building or nearby building, very convenient

safety is huge factor

I am saying the economic and career development prospects in Malaysia are weak.
