OZ gov still allow ppl to masuk meh ?
sumore u gotten PR before and u let it expired... ini sudah salah lo.

answer this first:
1. Kahwin or single or divorce? single - Oz
2. got kid(s)? no kids - Oz
3. what is your skillss/profession? sendiri tau sendiri jawab,
4. Parents still hidup? if yes - then SG, if no more, OZ is the answer lo.
5. since u got PR before - can assume u completed and graduated in Oz lo. then go back there if their immi allow.
6. work life balance - Oz , maksimum boringness but come with good government, education, overall systems la, & income tax is like what? 35% or 40%?.
7. if u choose Sg, prepare to be a dog lo.

Supply Chain

Depends on what you want and value really. I've met colleagues whom had (or their partner had) Aussie PR 10-15 years ago, and now they regret for not maintaining it, too late for them to go back now (45+ years old) with no prospects of RRV. For you, whilst not a guarantee, pretty sure you'll stand higher chance than this colleague of mine since you seems to have a compelling reason (COVID) to justify for RRV.

I'm on similar boat, though in better shape since I've just gotten my PR so I have ~5 years to make my move there and to maintain my PR but job prospects are hard - at least when remotely applying. Still haven't packed up and just move yet as I'm trying to negotiate for internal transfer there (now with a PR in hand Company don't need to worry about visa).

Lifestyle definitely AU. Money definitely SG/HK due to low taxes.

yes u r right. I missed about 3 years out of my PR coz of COVID. When it ended I couldnt go due to family and personal reason. So now ok d so planning where to go...

Hows Aus atm? May i ask what industry u working in?

I haven't moved there to AUS yet - still negotiating my move as I said. But tried job hunting and it's hard as I'm not physically there to attend interviews. Might end up detouring as well, as Company is considering to sending me elsewhere outside Malaysia than AUS considering the prospects/opportunities available at this moment (read: no openings in AUS right now and I told them clearly I'm not staying in M'sia beyond this year)

Not a migration agent/lawyer, but your case does sound legitimate and easily gets a RRV in my view. At least I know 2-3 people in my circle that got their RRV approved (tho AUS immi gave them a clear mandate to "come back or lose it going forward"), given the exact same COVID/Family situation/story.

If not mistaken when submitting for RRV there should be ways for you to upload letters (or provide justification) so perhaps best to write up a story based on circumstances you've just mentioned. I haven't gone thru this step myself personally but during my PR application I had to write some letters too, to explain some of my unique circumstances.

Good luck with your move. Securing a job is probably the most important part of migration. Personally for me, I did a detour to a non English speaking EU country before moving to the a UK. While job hunting in the UK, I used a UK address (friend) and UK mobile number and when I needed to attend interviews I book flights when needed.

Job market in western countries is usually very competitive and working experience in Malaysia is not worth a lot. So if you have a route via company transfer, better grab what you can get

Thank you! Fingers crossed for myself. Am looking at similar pathway in case a direct transfer to AUS is not possible, i.e. via a temporary detour to somewhere else much better recognized than MYS (thru internal transfers to regional hubs) then use that experience to eventually align myself to AUS. Let's see!
