Why search for jobs in Malaysia when they barely give blacks job (Nigerians), why not try Australia since your degree is from Monash, I know a few people that move to Singapore, they only complain of the cost of living.

I just want to try my luck here in Malaysia due to affordable housing, cheap transportation and other things but unfortunate I can't get a job, moreso the problem is from Malaysian Government, most of companies are willing to take foreigners ( Africans) but government policy. I got offer from a Singaporean Hospital and a Singaporean Security Company but accommodation is a very big problem in Singapore, Things are more expensive in Singapore that you cannot have savings, Anyway thanks to Monash as Australia is the next bet and getting enough good response from Australia. Wish you success and best of luck

Billionman60! You said "Brother you have never been to South Africa, I doubt and let me tell you once you are through with your studies in SA, there is a 50/50 % that you will get a job not same in Malaysia" Please why are you in Malaysia then?(if you are). That's what I ask people who say Malaysia is very bad and are still living in the Malaysia. Some people don't live in Malaysia, Some don't even study in Malaysia and they talk about this and that. A lot of nairalanders can discourage immigrants because of their bad experience, assumption or what they don't know. I remembered when i visited SA, I got discouraged a lot from friends, some said bad about the place. I got my SA visa in 2013. This same Nairaland assisted me/some saw it funny! I got my 1 year multiple entry Visa stamped in Ghana through an agent! some didn't know it's possible and it seems funny to them. Wetin travel agent no fit do!

Afterwards I visited Malaysia for 2 weeks just because i want to study, I liked the education system because of the 3+0 degrees. Thanks to Truth234 who answer my question about getting my NOC. I go by what I know, what I see, not what I assume or "person talk say". Even if you have been in Malaysia for 10 years and you don't know facts about Malaysian education, don't act like you know it all. You claim you know FCUC, if you have visited my college First City University College, Petalin Jaya, you won't say it's owned by an Indian or Malay lol It's owned by Chinese Founded Dr Teo Soo Cheng. I know the Nigerians in my college because we are less than 6 as big as the college is the rest are students from different ethnicities. My certificate is awarded by Nottingham Uni, our syllables, time table and curriculum is the same as the University of Nottingham UK, our result are checked on the Nottingham Uni website not even the college website. I got my UK visiting visa in Malaysia without stress. If you talk about racism yes there's racism, I'm the only black in a class of 20!. Get facts about 3+0 degrees, Twining degree programmes, Transfer programmes, Advanced Standing programmes that's where you find lotta ethnicities studying in Malaysia. When it comes to government owned universities, like UM or UPM I don't know a lot about them because their certificates are Malaysian and they are relatively cheap.

My brother, I know what I'm saying and I am not here to demoralize anybody which I stated, moreover we're not here to argue. Malaysia is good, Malaysia is cool but I have stated my reason(s) why spending much in Malaysia without a Job. For your info, I graduated from Monash Subang JayaCampus, Bachelor of Psychological Science and I know what I'm telling you, so don't argue, Imagine after paying approximately 38k ringgit/ year, graduating to find out there is no job for Africans especially Nigerians but my friends from Sudan( North), Somalia and Eriteria are all working in Malaysia, we graduated the same year, time and my course-mates, Is this not racism, I know your school or college very well, which is known as KBU College Bandar Utama around One Utama/One World Hotel Area and in same category with KDU Kota Damansara, so bros forget that ur college, Your college just got license to University College not more than 6 or 7 years ago if I'm correct. I have searched for jobs here, so I know what I'm telling you, God luck

Mr man! Everyone have their personal reasons for studying in Malaysia. You wanna compare a degree from UPM, Sunway, Taylor, FCUC, FTMS and so on... to south african universities? REALLY!
bro don't be ignorant! Even other Asians, Europeans, Australians and Arabs come to study in Malaysia. I have lotta foreign student in my class FCUC..."Japanese, South Korean, Egpytian and Iranian" JUST 1 malay. They've all been together since Foundation year, Degree and now Masters. Why do you think some people choose to study in Malaysia because they have 3+0 degrees from UK, Australian universities rather than paying £11,000/yr in Uk for the degree they rather study in Malaysia for £4000/yr sometimes as low as $10,000 for a 3yr BSC degree. I have been to South Africa please tell me which jobs pays good in South Africa. Bros behave yourself don't infest your ignorance and discourage other people. Yes there's racism here, there's scam here. Tell me a country where there's no scam and no racism. Don't dull! grow up.

This is my opinion and I am not forcing it on anyone rather I am saying the reality and if you like take it and if you dont like leave it, now before i continue and I want to write out the ranking for you to see for yourself and Sunway, Taylors FUCU, AND FTMS that is suited beside Central market is not in the list of World University Ranking. Please dont even mention FUCU and FTMS, those are colleges and their certificates are not recognize anywhere even in that Malaysia, that school is for Indian Malays, so count that school out. There is no Australians coming to Malaysia to study, please get your fact right and you see the kind of foreign friends you keep, Iranians and Egyptians, whereby Egypt receives most of Malaysian Students sponsored by their government to study outside Malaysia. Most Arabs you see in Malaysia is because of how cheap and free Malaysia is, Meet your Arab friends and asked them why they are here in Malaysia and not Dubai, I keep saying it, why graduate with a University Certificate and you are not allowed to work with such certificate in same country that Issue such to you. Why asking you to leave once you are through with your studies. Brother you have never been to South Africa, I doubt and let me tell you once you are through with your studies in SA, there is a 50/50 % that you will get a job not same in Malaysia.

I have been following this thread for long as I was deceived to study in Malaysia with hope I will get a job after my 3 years degree and Hello to everyone and this is to those who are coming to Malaysia for the purpose of studying, please think twice and ask yourself why Malaysia? First I have to sound it out to everyone here that you have your final decision to choose either to study here or somewhere else. I am not trying to demoralize any one rather I want to let you know of the reality on ground, Firstly Malaysians don't like blacks and the see all Blacks as criminals, fraudster/conmen, black money vendor, and prostitute,

The don't know the difference between someone from Ghana, South Africa, African-American and Nigeria, once you're black you're Nigerian and a criminal, even those that will smile at you especially the Chinese, they are doing so because you have something financially to offer or you're always coming to their pubs with friends to drink.

Malaysian degree is not even acceptable in most firm in Singapore talk more about other advanced Asian countries, Malaysians don't value their education that much and that is why their government sponsored them to study elsewhere as such you will see Malaysian Students all over the world even in South Africa. Malaysia value their certificates if you as a Malay especially wants to work in the government sector but most firms accept and value certificates from outside Malaysia more than their own certificates, so why wasting your hard earn money to study in a country, where you are not allowed to work or even do internship.

In other countries like Singapore when you finish your degree you're allowed to search for work and you have 50/50 to get a job while here in Malaysia once you finish your study, Immigration and Education department will not renew your Student Visa and the will asked you to leave the country within 2 weeks whereby you fail to leave then you will become an Illegal immigrant, which is very difficult to stay in Malaysia without papers.

Why waste your hard earn money when after graduating you're not allowed to work and the only place you can even try your bet is Celcom and a call desk officer with a salary of 1500 ringgit, which is a contract work of just 4-5 months and the will not file for a work permit for you.

Why wasting your hard earn money to study in Malaysia when there is discrimination in housing, I mean renting a place and that is why you see Nigerians and Africans living much in Puchong, Cheras, Subang Jaya, cyber Jaya, Bukit Jali, Selayang, Kajang and only few lives in KL, if you doubt try and search for apartment, call the agent and tell him/her you're a Nigeria or African then watch his/her response which usually " owner dont want foreigner".

Thirdly in other countries as a student you're allowed to work for few hours during session and work more hours during holidays period but here in Malaysia you cannot even work as a cleaner. I will advise those going to Malaysia to think twice as you will get frustrated if you're having hope of study and work or work after study....., If your upkeep money is not coming from Nigeria then you're doomed and will be forced to go either way of illegal means of survival, which 90% of those living in Malaysia are into. The only business you see Nigerians doing here selling African things or operating and opening of African restaurant, which you must get married to their locals before you can. Please save your money and find somewhere else to study and work. Malaysian Universities are not even among the 200 Universities in University Ranking.
