Re: Any driver or helper to recommend?

The Philippines Embassy in Malaysia sets a minimum wage for their workers of $400USD per month (around 1200rm). Many...

Re: Any driver or helper to recommend?

Hello,

You have a few options for helpers -- hire through an agency and pay large fee's for doing so. You'll also probably have to wait up to 3 months for your helper to arrive.

Re: Young male British guy moving to KL in a few months, looking for advice....

Get your licence in the UK rather than here if you can. A UK one can be swapped for a Malaysian one but not vice versa.

Re: Young male British guy moving to KL in a few months, looking for advice....

Why don't you take the time to get your licence over here? You will struggle relying on taxis to get around, if you want to get away for weekends, unless you're flying. The public transport options...

Re: From London to KL

I think it would be tight, but depends on your supplementary income. For schools you'll be quite limited in your choice. The least expensive one that comes to kind is ELC. Look at their website for...

Re: Who pays the legal fees?
