Retiring Abroad ?

It is human nature to want the best and we think that the grass is always greener on the other side of the world.

We may face discrimination's in our own country or think that we are being sidelined by the government policies and as a result we find the option of going abroad a welcoming prospect.

We may think that they are earning much more than we are over here relatively but it is only when they earn there and spend here that they enjoy the benefits . If they are staying there and spending there , it does not make much of a difference.

For those who are gifted or professionals , the sky is the limit because the government there recognized talents unlike here where there are glass ceilings and you cannot move up even if you are very talented because of the color of your skin.

 "And in the end, it's not     the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

Most people on this side of the world think that the USA or any Western countries is a good place to retire abroad or emigrate. There maybe some good advantages living there but it is not a bed of roses. You will have to deal with the different climate ,the people, the culture and the food .

Most of us like to day dream after watching and reading all those news about those countries and think it is an ideal place to live in. There are those who have been living abroad who felt like wanting to come back but because of red tape are unable to do so.

Many talented Malaysians are living abroad and we are experiencing a major brain drain and human resources .The authorities does not give a damned and wished them good riddance .

For the rest of us who are neither rich nor have special talents ,we are stuck here forever come what may.We can only dream and watch the other side of the world on the T.V monitors.

Though if given the chance to emigrate, I think i will stay put here . We have been so familiar with the lifestyle here and uprooting from here can be a very momentous decision.

My life is so simple and peaceful and I am contented and we have to bend with the times or where the political wind blows.

Where ever you are , there is no milk and honey and you have to work to earn your livings.After so many years living here and to uproot and plant yourself in another foreign land and to start all over again can be very depressing and demoralizing.

We were born here and we will die here and as for our children , they can decide if they want to go abroad .They are young and the outside world beckons to them.
