The current ruling party only wants to import low/uneducated people into Malaysia. Easy to manipulate them.
My late brother in law (from New Zealand) also don;t have PR and was an illegal here. But he don't bother much I guess because he's too old.

Wollongong? New Zealand? Brisbane? All tempting actually, but problem remains that I have family in Perth and I kinda want to be within shout…

Move to NZ! Property is much more affordable here!

I'm in the throes of getting my house ready to sell to move down to Brisbane – planning on buying on the north side but no further north than Caboolture, and no further south than Strathpine, and house prices seem comparable to Cairns.

Just to let you know Glenda, I have emailed you a pic of our mobile home.

Re the Malaysian Government, can't you reach somebody higher up? Surely Noramly has contacts or something? I know when we were having trouble emigrating because of a clerk in the embassy, we ended up asking for his boss who came along and processed everything right away.

Obviously I know nothing about prices in Oz, but we lived in a mobile home in the States for a number of years and had every mod com, and it was a delightful way of living, a mobile home is NOT the same as a trailer or caraven which can be moved easily, although for a fair amount of money you could move it I suppose. If you got a double wide though, it would really cost you. I am assuming you can get such mobile homes in Oz.

In France housing is very expensive too since a few year, espacially in big towns.

Glenda, Perth house prices are ridiculously expensive. We have an investment house on the mid-north coast of NSW that is so much more cosy and livable than our house in suburban Perth. Hopefully one day in the not-too-too-distant future we'll be able to retire there.
Our Perth house is nice, and in a popular, good, area, but it has nothing on our NSW house when it comes to character. The NSW house is valued at $200,000 less!
Mum lives in a very nice retirement village in NSW as well. http://www.faringdon.com.au/lifestyle.htm
It's an older style village but to my mind it's got a lot more going for it than a lot of the newer ones.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's so much variety out there, don't get stuck on median prices…and maybe look a little further afield than capital cities or even WA.

Come to Wollongong. Seriously, it's lovely down here. Close to the ocean, close enough to go up to Sydney when you want, an hours drive from the airport. Lousy bookshops. That's about the worst of it.
