I find your feedback is interesting and relatively fair.

I think, your point about wages may be inaccurate, Malaysians working for MNC or GLC for 10 plus years can earn RM10k and above. However, in Singapore, to earn more than $10k is highly unlikely (for most)

Your statement on "wanting" to migrate and "able" to migrate is spot on. The competition to migrate to developed countries is fierce and some countries do not accept foreigners at all.

The reality is not all Malaysians will have the opportunity or the skills or the luck to work overseas. So, some will have to make do with living in Malaysia. That said, Malaysia is not that bad of a place to live and grow old.

based on the statistic, in sg earning 5 digit (not conversion) is much easy compare to msia...

SG fresh grade start pay is already 3.5k and above...within 5 years will reaching 6~8k, even a low salary job like waitress start pay is 2.5k and above

when you say malaysian working in MNC/GLC etc for 10+ years can earn RM10k above
it will be the same for singaporean/PR working in MNC/GLC to earn more than SGD10k+ above

btw, i'm also working in SG, most of the ppl i known from malaysia are getting 5 digit pay in sgd...
