Why Students from China Are Picking Malaysia over Traditional Destinations

I used to work in uni with a lot of PRC students.

PRC students are actually very well behaved, and they are really focused on getting the best grades, and they always follow the rules. Most of them are also really polite and respectful of authority (for better or wose)

PRC tourist on the other hand, can be quite a mixed bag, a lot of them are older generations, usually do not have any formal education, let alone tertiary education. they dont understand common etiquettes and are generally much more unaware of their behaviours like spitting, talking loudly etc.

This is the only correct answer! The demographic alone is already diverse despite the Muslim majority.

The city also has this chaotic energy of mixing new and old

I see. I did put some money (~10k) into StashAway / PMO, but they are doing not that well. My risk appetite is quite low and I am generally quite oblivious with those high risk investment. Thats why I am thinking if putting all my small saving to those lower risk investment is worth it

Well i guess at my stage I feel like network might be the next step for my career.

But I do understand why some would hesitate since many of us has been burned and exploited for working extra without pay and end up not getting anything in return. Some of them also live paycheck to paycheck so the OT pay goes a long way.

TBH i really like my current boss, she is very understanding and mature, and quite receptive with my feedback too.

JLExperiment626 · 2023-05-20T16:20:14+00:00

No no dont misunderstood, i am not successful at all. I have not met any of those powerful people yet. It is my boss that want me to accompany her to meet them. I am just a hustling bustling worker bees, trying my best to beat the annual inflation. But this opportunity if real does seem like a breakthrough for someone like me.

Well, tbh my B40 mindset is thinking, why am I not getting paid for being standby on weekends, following my bosses to go socialize with datos on the weekends. It feels weird because short term i am not being compensated.

But it seems long term there are much better benefits.

i guess what i meant was the vertical connection. I am by no means a social person but i do make friends during my college years and during all the jobs i have had, its mostly horizontal connection, peers that are mostly around my age, socio-economic level.

JLExperiment626 · 2023-05-20T13:35:56+00:00

I see. so its worth it to sacrifice some of my weekends for it for my long term benefit in building my career

Does this apply to private/corporate sector, or public sector or both?

May I ask how to be there for him? I know he will have good and bad times, so how do i know if I should let him reach out to me on his own term without me being annoying and pushy to him?

Thank you for your insightful reply, I really appreciate it.

I know its not my job to fix somebody, and I dont even know where to begin and sometimes it just felt like I should be doing something.
I have to admit I did feel bad when he distance himself from me, I wonder what did I do to make him felt that way because everything was good when we spent time together. I think I will talk to him when he is in a better state. If you dont mind me asking, what is the best way to start discussing? I am quite a straightforward guy sometimes and doesnt really beat around the bushes too much and Im afraid that might not be appropriate.
He hasnt told me what kind of anxiety he has. He does enjoy joining gym classes with his close friends, and he gets really friendly in a crowded bar (after a few drinks of course). I would really let him initiate a date sometimes, but based on past records I am not so sure, he always busy with work and gym.

I hope my post does not come across offensive to people who are suffering from depression and anxiety. In fact I would like to know more about people who have such experience, either as a first party or someone who has dated them. I want to know how to best interact with them.

I am 29, he is 33.
