What are the options...

both Malaysia and Singapore are good choices for immigration, in my humble opinion.
Singapore has a higher living standards, so naturally prices are higher there. It is also remarkably safe to wander at night there. But as a city state, you may find life a bit boring, and the Singaporean government is said to be just a bit too overbearing and parent-like.
If you ask me, I prefer Malaysia whose citizens are genuinely friendly if you respect their culture and way of life. As a bigger country, it offers more diversity, and more fun to drive around, but mind you, it is right hand drive.

Exactly like you said Malaysia is a better choice. I live in Singapore once after 3 months you seen them all. Plus it is so expensive these days full of foreign worker Indian, Pino, Bangla not a nice place anymore
I am thinking of retiring in Kota Kinabalu used to be called Jesselton on East Malaysia in a year or 2 It is Chinese majority town like Penang and Singapore with Mountain on one side and Sea on the other side So if it too hot you go to mountain. Not so crowded like KL

Living in the west is comfortable but a bit sterile and so far away from my roots
Chinese new year in SEA is very festive occasion. good company good food like this party this guy is so rich he invite all his fellow babas . Look at the front yard it can host so many people must be mansion like crazy rich asian

Trying to find Chinese culture in China is like trying to find needle in haystack Even the rich Shanghainese are moving to Malaysia and they see more Chinese culture there than in China

I am not racist but I think they the gov has gone overboard with trying to attract talent and worker This Indian worker cause so much problem with rape and riot that was not known for decades . These worker get drunk and set fire to vehicle . Then they bring their caste system to Singapore and abusing people just because they can buy 1 million flat.
You hire one Indian chief in company then they fire all the Chinese and replace them with Indian.
I don't have problem with Indian that has acculturate in SEA they behave decently

Hendrik, never for one minute am I saying or even thinking that you are racist. You are one of the respected senior member here.

I'm just pointing out the way you put it in your last post may need a comma or a full stop somewhere. Lol. That's all.

What kind of IT? Generally, the US has the best job market for IT fields. And a lot of good tech sector oriented cities in the US have large Asian populations too, which is a plus.
