Think of it as an investment. Put in some money and effort, try it out for a bit. If you don't like it you could come back and possibly with an offer in a Malaysian company with better pay too considering your experience overseas.

On the flip side however, I've known several Chinese friends who have been working overseas successfully for many years but still decided to come back for various reasons. They're certainly very brave IMO.

dr luv this of course would be great, the ideal is if you stay in Malaysia and get paid in USD, GBP, Euro etc. Try and get an expat package if at all possible, you get free trips back to Malaysia etc. but unless you're in the oil and gas industry, the expat package is pretty much extinct.

That's a fascinating list of universities where Imperial College, NUS and UiTM are on the same level

I'm happy to see two Malaysian universities there, I wonder if anyone here will take advantage of it. Looks like an excellent opportunity.

I spent almost 70% of my adult life overseas and I loved it. I think different people have different preferences.

But I do agree with yieloon up there, having PR does not mean you're cutting off ties with Malaysia. You do have more options however.
