same old shit.. and man... it's really hot.. i went there on a business trip last year.. and i prayed all the time that.. god would place his mercy on me and send me back home earlier than i had anticipated..

Naw, it isn't that bad lol. I'm living in Singapore and so it's pretty similar. Yes, you have to get used to the heat but I think you come from a similar environment anyway.Malaysia is a great place to live in and if you actually get out and explore, there's a lot of unique stuff to discover. What daily life is like might depend on where exactly you are in Malaysia. Some places are well developed like KL, others are still very rural. There's loads of good food if you like to try new stuff and if you do go, then you do have to keep your mind open. Life there is different but if you can learn to enjoy these differences instead of complaining, you'll enjoy your time there.

Hot and wet. No problem for you because it is an Islam country.

I am not a foreigner, so I would not experience how a foreigner's life in Malaysia.

It's a great place for work. However get ready to work hard because Malaysians are generally hardworking too. However that's if you are working Managerial level you'd be working in hell. In terms of economic stability & peacefulness it's awesome. Living here is nice. It has a good night life here in the city. We have got lots of air-conditioners and "mamak" food stalls that operate 24-hours. You want to make it big here in Malaysia. It's easy if you're hardworking. I have seen many Arabs living near my housing area. They buy cars & shop & no one bothers. And yeah, we're close to Singapore, but you'd be surprised how so many people are so fair skinned and life in general here is so slow paced & relaxed. Good on you!

On the whole, Malaysia has lots to offer in terms of food and places to visit. It could be an eye-opener of a sort for you. As a foreigner living in Malaysia, you can easily mingle in with the crowd as it is a pot-pourri of different races. Population is mainly multi-lingual unless of course you are based in a very remote area. It's not hard to assimilate and adapt as long as you don't do anything that would make you stick out like a sore thumb. But seriously tho', it is a great place and there are many foreigners who treat Malaysia as a second home. So go for it.. the food is fantastic!

the police here r corrupter maybe their salary problems so nobody really worry about alcohol test on drivers That make everyone worry to driving after nite cos we do not know who is drunk drivers
8 :

9 :
It is agreat offer you should grab. almost all facilities in malaysia are complete and the local people are friendly ones. You'll enjoy since you follow the regulations which are consider almost the same as othe countries'.

HOT HOT HOT RAIN RAIN RAIN

Great, plenty of hot guys like me. : )

One word to describe Malaysia, its the center of multiracial people. You can see every race of asians here, be it Malay, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Arabs and many more. You will feel at home immediately after you've landed to Malaysia. Good food, any types of food are in Malaysia. Best weather, sunny season, rainy season but you'll enjoy your stay here. Trust me, I've worked with few German interns, and believe me not, they doesnt want to leave Malaysia. How good is that? Developed country, many public transportation, friendly Malaysians (most of us speaks English as second language, so communication isn't a barrier) Come and experience here as a tourist then make up your mind. :)

This is a SCAM. Don't do it.

If you have received an offer and it sounds too good to be true, that's because it probably is. There are numerous job scams run by crooks in Nigeria. Usually you'll get offered a job without a face-to-face interview. But then you're always asked to wire cash by Western Union wire transfer, for visa fees, airline tickets, insurance, courier fees, etc. Doesn't matter what excuse they give you, *don't do it*. Wiring money upfront to a stranger in Nigeria is a sure way to get scammed. Western Union and the Internet don't mix. Never use WU to send money to anyone you don't know personally.

File with me. And your tax will be 25% of your salary on a monthly basis. Year end will be 50% cause of your bonus.
2 :
>>Dead Man Walking...LOL....good idea hahaha. Anyway, since you are a PR in Singapore and have been filing your Tax Returns (funny this word---they don't return hehe) in Singapore, then I should think you must continue doing so the same way....because your salary remains in Singapore. The best person to ask is your authority in the company. ------do I get any commission for consultation...haha------

yr paid in singapore so u are supposed to file in singapore check with IRAS damn u need to pay me for this advice do u know that
4 :
Singapore
5 :
You need to resolve the issue with someone that really knows. If you have a Malaysian Employment Pass, someone is going to have to pay the tax on the salary claimed to qualify for the Pass. Some times the company is responsible for foreign tax. If you pay tax in Malaysia it will probably be deductible from your Singapore Tax Liability. especially if you're living in Malaysia. That's established by Tax Treaty. But don't listen to us. Check with the experts. Good Luck.
6 :
This will depend on who is paying you your salary. Being transferred to Malaysia but still drawing Singapore salary means you still have to pay your tax in Singapore.
