From what I heard, even the busiest spot in Australia is considered sedentary in Malaysia!

Well, when I think about it, I'm really looking for a place with more political security, better living standards and definitely LESS traffic. Good environmental conditions are a definite plus.

One thing though. There seems to be double-taxation?

From what I read at that site, as a resident (even a temporary one), you have to pay that tax on ALL your income, even those earned overseas. This would include Malaysian income, which is already taxed by the Malaysian government.

I don't think Malaysia has a tax treaty or free trade agreement with Australia. Even the US-Malaysia FTA has not materialized after so many years of negotiations. The key sticky issue seems to be Bumiputra rights, albeit mainly for their own benefit.

I heard that the Australia's has a problem in racism - some of the dwellers there really dislike foreigners.

IMO it doesn't matter... it's the same everywhere.

Well, I heard that about New Zealand too. But like it or not, there are racists everywhere.

However, I think that this is far less of a problem than institutionalized racism like what's being practised here in Malaysia.

At least in Australia and I dare say, in the US, you can fight back against racism legally. In Malaysia, you can't... because the right to be racist is ingrained WITHIN the Constitution. It's a disgrace.

those ppl arent racist like the way Malaysians are. Malaysians are racist because the ethnics cant stand each other's presence, or different believes and traditions. They are more.....anti-foreigners, coz we came into their country, fight with them for working opportunities and etc. they dun have special rights, u know..

Yup, I know. Can't blame them. I think we feel the same way about Indonesians coming over.
