Dear friends,

I have worked in various countries like saudi Arabia,Egypt,Oman,Dubai,Adhu Dhabi...But this is my very bad experience in MALAYSIA

Malaysia is expensive than Dubai.Also the Quality of Products you get from Malaysia is Very Bad.

For Example:If you buy a Briyani in Dubai for AED 10 the will serve you like 3 start Hotel.But the same if you buy in malaysia they will serve like rode side Hotel..

Also they have big complications in TAX part.If you join a company ..consider you are provided 10,000 MYR /Month.But they company will pay you only 7500 MYR..2500 for Tax..

If you ask personally,Can i work in malaysia (IT's a BAD decision)

Better for that same job you can find in you own country..

Yes, i agree the quality of products are not good as compared to other parts of the world. Specially for food, i never like food in Malaysia! its pathetic and dirty!
For tax, i think you are referring to the flat rate of 26% income tax. Its too much, but it only applies to non-residents for 6 months. After the its not much.
But i heard that accommodation/house rent is cheap here than Dubai.
