Was looking for the country where I could do a quick and cheap degree then access a good job market with good paying jobs plus easy path to work visa and PR/citizenship. Germany had the best combination of those features. Back then I got the impression that it would be modern and civilized and...

Don't take it personally because it's not, but I really need to start a copy and paste soundboard for this because I get the same questions/advice every time. I can completely accept that I didn't have the best dating life in America because I was much less mature, thought money was...

"Sounds to me you need a pretty high paying job to be satisfied and you are not thinking of starting all over." You hit the nail on the head. I work in white collar, tech industry. I also grew up a city kid and as you pointed out correctly in another post, loneliness is an issue for me, so sorry...

Well isn't all migration driven by economics in the end, as I mentioned in the very first reply in this thread. How direct that relationship is, of course, varies by individual - is it getting treated unfairly because of race (IMO a problem somewhat that's pretty solvable with money... clothes...

Can't speak for other Malaysians but I tend to agree with what you said but I don't think Singapore is a paradise island at all! In fact, it's never been an option or even crossed my mind as one for most of my life until recent years. The whole reason I'm even here even having this discussion...

I was born and raised in KL, am a bit of a spoiled child and so would never consider living in any other Malaysian city other than KL (and by "KL", I'm also including the surrounding suburbs). With that in mind, I completely disagree that Malaysia is better for Singapore for the typical middle...

Thanks. I do have a postgrad degree and agree with you that it sucks to be poor (lack of higher education can just an effect of being poor). As I've written elsewhere, I don't think it's just tertiary education but specifically those of the "overseas" variety. Foreign (AKA western, because too...

I've living experience in America and Europe for a long time now, and am actually looking to move to Singapore (am Malaysian) so I'll bite. Working hard if you own your own business = literally every country ever. The money you make is going to be proportional to your effort, why wouldn't you...

I'm both envious and happy for you! In your case, migrating was a good move if you went from barely able to save up in SG to early retirement within 3 years of moving to AUS, but realize that's a rare success and you should cherish it. For every person like you, there's dozens of people who get...

Born and raised in Malaysia, lived in several countries in America/Europe. Now considering Singapore to live long term or the rest of my life. My perspective is the root cause of many people wanting to emmigrate is money. There's property, romantic life, family drama, tons of reasons to escape...

Thanks, really I feel it's more of a European thing than just German. There's something weird about being critical on Europe on mainstream media websites like Reddit or comments section of some news website, and getting downvoted and brigaded by people who will deny your experience, downplay it...

I'm born and raised Malaysian and have spent way too much time and money trying my hand at finding a good country to immigrate to literally since I was done with school. Personally, my pick would be the US but sadly the immigration policy is rough and lacks security/assurance. There's too many...

Depends on level of education. Bachelor's level and no work experience, you absolutely need German. (no matter what those propaganda artists tell you) 100% English programs are very rare (unless you major in English itself LOL). There are a lot of mixed programs but the moment there's a class...

Shit that feds me up is we go over there, treated worse than dirt. The pecking order is Germans > other Europeans > white non-EU like Americans and Brits > middle eastern white-looking > yellow asian > middle eastern dark skin/Indians. So basically 2nd last class. I never thought I'd be saying...

There's lots of misleading info out there on how fantastic Germany is - open to immigrants, efficient, high-tech, developed country. I was tricked by the false picture that keeps getting painted about the country, which you can see plenty of around the internet and also with local SEA...
