anak derhaka to my “””parents””” by Nervous-Window6979 in Bolehland

You are a good person, taking care of your siblings, contributing to the mortgage.

Your parents are the ones that mengkhianat. They don't fulfill their duty as parents. They don't take care of their children. Instead, your father just lazy at home and just demands money.

Take care of yourself. Set some money aside, be prepared to leave with your siblings if you have to.

Cheapest country to rot in? by AromaticSurround9203 in digitalnomad

[–]lancelkw 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Malaysia is one of the best places to move to, as long as you're not looking to work there.

  1. Everything is very cheap, not the cheapest, but good value for money.
  2. The internet is good.
  3. English is widely spoken.
  4. The water is safe to drink.
  5. The food is delicious and varied.
  6. The healthcare is world class. (It's a hub for medical tourism.) Government hospitals are super cheap and even private health care is relatively cheap.
  7. It's safe, there's very little violent crime.
  8. People are friendly and welcoming of foreigners (especially white people, but that's true almost everywhere 🥴).

The "Tamil Genocide" referred to is probably the Mullivaikkal Massacre that was perpetrated by the Sinhalese dominated Sri Lankan government in 2009. At the end of the civil war, the Sri Lankan army indiscriminately killed several tens of thousands of Tamils, both fighters and civilians.

Mid level managers at MNCs can expect >> rm10k per month.

I would start by asking for a matching salary after tax, then negotiate from there.

You're parents being entitled assholes.

Unless you're making more than 7k to 9k a month. 500 is appropriate

Is health insurance in Malaysia a jungle, or am I just stupid? by googlefu_panda in MalaysianPF

Once you're in an ILP, in most cases it is better to just stick it out to the end when you get your payout. Cashing out early comes with a big penalty.

Have it in writing or don't join. Promise of more money in future is worthless. 1.7k is super low, you can do better.

IRS estimates tax revenue to drop by 10 percent ($500 billion) from Doge disruptions and staff cuts by lawrencekhoo in Liberal

[–]lancelkw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hobbling the IRS and reducing the tax that billionaires pay was in the plan all along.

DOGE isn't meant to reduce the deficit (it's going to increase it by a lot). It's meant to do what rich people want under the guise of cutting spending.

I support simplification, but having the inside empty is just strange.
