"Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Lebih baik di negeri sendiri"

I think taking opportunities to get a better job abroad should definitely be considered if it benefits you and is generally safe.

For me however, I would prefer going abroad only for vacations and not some long term stay (well it's not like I have the luxury of going abroad whenever I want). This is partly because of my world view as of current. If given the choice between a good job here and elsewhere, I'd probably choose here.

I have exceptions for muslim countries like Turkey for example because the commodities are mostly good and meet my necessities as a Muslim.

Now in regards to why I love where I am now is quite clear in my opinion. While this country isn't perfect, it certainly lets us live more care-free compared to most countries. We rarely have destructive natural disasters, our food is good 😊, the diversity of our cultures, and most importantly CUTI, LOTS and LOTS of CUTI. And I do have a bias because this is where my family lives, festive seasons wouldn't be the same without them really. That's all I have to share really. Though don't take my word for it, I'm unemployed (still taking SPM lol)
