He need to come here & deal with it.
To relocate here by according advice from Ex-Pat's really not the way I personally recommend.
It could be a costly mistake without dealing personally.
I am not a negative person but many instances people have made mistakes (costly mistakes)
I am from Melbourne & been here long time.
Since you do not mention what business & what Large Multi National then hard to gave any type of advise.
Personally I would not trust the advices.

Good Luck

Hi thanks
I'm part of probably Australia's  largest retail group in a senior role running a $400m business for them.
A bigger Asian company has approached me. This new opportunity would be a significantly bigger job than my current role.
What's important is family and education work life balance which we just don't have in Australia.
We would hope to get ahead rather than pouring ever cent into housing and education as we do in Sydney.
Q. What would be a great income in kl?
Collectively we earn in excess of $350k AUD currently.
Is staying in kl recommended mid term 5-10 years? Does anyone have experiences staying that long?
If my husband did get his business rolling in malaysia then 2-3 years is not worth the effort for little reward as
Time would be better spent growing his Australia business.
Of course a lot of thought and research would be required regarding his situation. He is very open minded at this early stage.
I travel 2.5 hours a day in Sydney traffic so any improvement  on that is appealing.
Are there any expat Aussie or kiwi mums with experience heading up a large business in Malaysia and experiences to share re family and work.?
I have found some useful discussions in the last 24 hours but most do not apply to our situation.

Hi well what a lot of questions

The day of big expat packages ended (sadly) but as a senior management job you should getaccom, car, all school fees paid and a salary similar to before. The hardship allowances days are over but convert to RM and expect same.

Bear in mind local CEOs earn a lot more "tax free" not in salary.....

Biggest problem is will you be white performing puppet? Or in charge. Be careful of that.....

Traffic in KL is hell!

Business ops good for foreigners though as laws lax.

Hi thank you
Re "CEO earn a lot more tax free"  could you  explain that? Tax free!! Like the sound of that.
Thanks again I really appreciate it.
I'm trying to track down any expats who may have launched a business in kl so I can introduce them to my husband for a chat.

Hi again I mis understood re local CEO. obviously I am not local.......get it now!

Dear Kiwi KL;

I think what Nemodot trying to say that be wary of becoming a puppet CEO ! Normally the Asian business will have a Chairman or President above the CEO who is calling the shot all the times ! I have a friend from Melbourne (classmates) taking up MD/CEO in a Malaysian company... end up report to Chairman who call the shot ! He left the company recently !

Anyway I am not working in Malaysia !

Thanks you very helpful.

Hi kiwi KL, Im looking to make the move myself, my partner recently moved over to head up a customer service expansion for a growing IT sales company and i'm looking to follow suit. if you happen to have any jobs going in IT around customer support let me know
