My sincere apology "bahay ni Kuya"...I thought your still single. The good thing in Malaysia and Singapore is....you can stay up to maximum of 3 months to find good job and airfare is not that expensive (maximum of 20,000.00 pesos back and forth). I've been to Dubai last year and most of Pinoy's who were retrenched in Dubai went to Singapore to find job ( I’m in construction industry, so I can only speak for this industry, for other industries, I don’t have any idea) they did not find any job there and decided to return home. Recently, I visited Malaysia (last March 2009), the progress is there but all my friends who lives there told me that they are also suffering from "worldwide crisis" and there are still on-going retrenchments from big companies. I think, you can get also get the same salary here less 20%-30% tax, By the way, I have known some Malaysian and Singaporeans who are working here in Qatar.
