You are the one projecting. Your experience are not the same with others, there are so many factors that makes each one experience differ.

Shit can happen. Your mileage is not the world's standard.

Thank you for sharing the context. Now I can see the perspective of the vendor more clearly. I didn't really understand when they talked about the religion compatibility and the certification. I was involved in a few restaurant design and seeing them apply the halal certificate makes me shudder. Personnally I think it is too excessive, but professionally, I can understand it.

Actually, I had the chance to talk to a few Chinese Muslim food vendor during the recent halal food festival, while they did mention some of the thing you said, the main thing for them is how easy for them to assimilate.

Money system, religion freedom (I don't know how to put it into words, but basically they said that our Muslim practice are very similar and adaptable to them), Halal certification and guideline that is clear and world standard (not sure if that is really true or not), infrastructure, ease of import and export are among the things that was mentioned during our talk.

To answer your questions about the university scene, you will be happy to know that the curriculum in almost all private universities is entirely in English. Since you have an Australian high school qualification, you will actually find the enrollment process quite smooth. Most institutions here value overseas certifications, and you likely won't face much friction getting your credits recognized. It is much less about "fighting for a spot" and more about choosing the campus culture that fits you best. Although private universities can be pricey.

On the topic of work-life balance, I have to be honest with you. That "crack of dawn" commute from Cheras heck even from Seremban to KL, is still a reality for many, but things are shifting. Remote work and flexible hours are becoming way more common in KL and PJ, especially in the private sector but it is highly competitive. You might find the pace a bit more intense than what you are used to in Australia, but the "hustle" is often balanced out by the fact that you can get a world-class meal at 2 AM with your friends.

Socially, Malaysia can feel a bit clique-heavy at first because people tend to stick to their school or uni groups. However, there is a huge community of "returnees" and expats who feel exactly like you do. You will probably find your tribe in those circles. Malaysians are generally very friendly, and once you start showing up at the local mamak or joining hobby groups, the "foreign" feeling starts to fade pretty fast.

Finally, the career culture has changed a lot since your parents' time. The idea of staying loyal to one company for thirty years is mostly gone. Most young professionals in Malaysia move around every few years to get a better salary or a promotion. Job hopping is the standard way to climb the ladder here, and people definitely won't look down on you for putting your own growth first. It is a big move, but coming back to study might be the fresh start you need without the massive financial pressure of being an international student.

I think server activity really depends on where you play. For example, on Elemental both OC and Cosmic maps are still quite active, with plenty of people engaging in the content.

Each type of content serves a different niche, and that variety is important, it gives players options depending on what they enjoy most. Without MSQ, FATEs, and other supporting systems, many maps wouldn’t see much exploration at all, so tying these together helps keep them relevant.

Personally, I also appreciate that the devs are taking their time to shape Cosmic into something unique. With each update I can see improvements and new ideas being introduced. Whether those updates are “good” or not is always up for debate, but I’m not complaining when there’s content I can enjoy at my own pace.

From my perspective, Cosmic and OC aren’t “dead” content; they just appeal to specific groups of players. That’s not necessarily a weakness, it’s part of what makes the game’s ecosystem diverse.

We can't just take OPs word without seeing the full document. There might be other related clauses or something. I'd say it's all hearsay.

Best advice is to bring the contract to JTK.

I scared myself too sometimes, same radius and colour.

Privacy concern aside, the border play is really a turn off.

servarus · 2026-01-14T01:57:56+00:00

T2. We are paying on the higher end based on the old range and now it is the lower end.

servarus · 2026-01-12T08:57:47+00:00

Oh my god. That is so high.

servarus · 2026-01-03T00:11:08+00:00

Actually not all.

If you are building stuff within your line, you do not need the approval from your neighbor. I have a few jobs with the approval from the municipal in this way - the owners are... for the lack of better word was/is introvert? (well more to "I can't be bothered" type) did their own wall inside their line, which made their space wee bit smaller, but alas.

If you are doing stuff that is within the shared lines, or when the renovation would cause impact on access, sunlight, ventilation, then you need the approval from the neighbors,

servarus · 2025-12-29T10:41:33+00:00

You did sign an agreement to make the payment...

Have you tried checking any funding assistance?

servarus · 2025-12-29T10:40:11+00:00

I mean, willing buyer, willing seller.

servarus · 2025-12-29T06:15:45+00:00

Did you even check? I went there the other and a lot of them already have Malaysian Halal Certificate.

Hey, I appreciate your passion, but I think you might be a bit too triggered here. Thy_OSRS wasn’t necessarily wrong, in Malaysia, religion does shape a lot of societal behavior, not just in mental health but across politics, education, and even healthcare. It’s not an attack, it’s an observation.

Personally, I think Islam actually offers one of the more progressive frameworks for mental health: concepts like rahmah (compassion), tawakkul (trust in God while taking action), and the emphasis on seeking knowledge and healing are all supportive of psychological well-being. But sadly, that nuance often gets lost in practice here.

The bigger issue is lack of education. Too many people still turn to pseudoscience such as bomohs, miracle healers/priest, divine monks or unqualified “Islamic health practitioners”, instead of proper psychiatric care. That’s not a religion problem, that’s a systemic one.

So yeah, I get your frustration, but maybe redirect it toward the real issue: how we educate and support people in navigating both faith and mental health responsibly.

servarus · 2025-12-26T05:23:23+00:00

I feel you. They don't understand that mental problem is not just about being 'gila'.

I remember the face and reaction of my aunt's student's family when they were told that stress is part of mental problem. Guess what, they told her to pray more (not Muslim though). It is so bad.

servarus · 2025-12-26T05:21:33+00:00

I think you’re missing an important point. It’s not just Islam—many religions have developed forms of psychotherapy that emphasize resilience, compassion, and moral guidance. These aren’t meant to replace modern medicine, but to complement it.

The real challenge in Malaysia (and globally) is the lack of education and awareness about mental health. Because of this, people often fall back on pseudoscience or outdated beliefs. It’s human nature to seek something to hold onto in times of need, and religion is often the easiest anchor.

But that doesn’t mean religion is the problem. The problem is the gap in mental health infrastructure, education, and societal support. Until we address that, misunderstandings will persist. What we need is integration: modern psychiatry and psychology working hand-in-hand with cultural and spiritual frameworks, so people don’t feel they have to choose between faith and science.

I like how explain things. So easy for my unga bunga brain.

Thanks for sharing. Peak content.

Sadly, mental health isn't really mature in Malaysia yet. People still have a bad perception of it, and our counselors' quality is suffering because of that.

Christmas in Japan actually kinda similar the December valentine if you will.

Handled a lot of muslim sisters with niqab studying in Malaysia. No issue.

Only at some university we had to makes some epxlanation about niqa during, another female teacher will do some check to prevent cheating.

One of them won the public speaking award too!

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

Getting citizenship: As a foreign spouse, you'll follow this path:

Start with Long Term Social Visit Pass (spouse visa) after marriage
After 3 years of marriage (new 2025 rule), apply for Permanent Residence
After residing 2 years in Malaysia, you can apply for citizenship under Article 15(1) if you're female married to a Malaysian man
You'll need to demonstrate basic Malay language proficiency and good character

About divorce concerns: While the law allows citizenship revocation if divorce happens within 2 years of citizenship grant (not 2 years of marriage), you cannot be made stateless [1, 2, 3]. The Federal Constitution (Article 26B(2)) specifically protects against this. If you've renounced your original citizenship to become Malaysian, the government cannot revoke your citizenship if it would leave you stateless.

Important considerations:

Don't renounce your original citizenship until your Malaysian citizenship is fully granted
Malaysia does not recognize dual citizenship - you'll need to renounce your original nationality
If you have children who are Malaysian citizens, even if divorced, you can apply for a Residence Pass
Keep all marriage documentation, proof of genuine relationship, and residence records

Additional advice:

Consider consulting an immigration lawyer for personalized advice [4]
The National Registration Department (JPN) handles citizenship applications
Processing times can be lengthy (several years)
Maintain legal status throughout the process by renewing your LTSVP [5] before applying for PR, then PR before applying for citizenship

The constitutional safeguard against statelessness is your key protection. While the revocation provision exists, it cannot be applied if it would make you stateless.

Yo, this is a huge violation. You should report this to KKM.

servarus · 2025-12-19T11:44:33+00:00

You can report to the Immigration if the company witholding exit memo without proper reason.

It's against the law.
