Businesswoman shares reasons for moving to Malaysia with family<\/h2>\n

In March, a Singaporean businesswoman shared on social media why she left Singapore for Malaysia about three years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the reasons she listed were her <\/span>child\u2019s education and the lifestyle in Singapore<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The post has since gained more than 390,000 views on Facebook, and garnered mixed reactions from netizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why businesswoman decided to move family out of Singapore<\/h3>\n

Ms Goh, who runs a Singapore-based sales consultancy that helps scale up companies in Asia, told <\/span>MS News<\/span><\/i> that she had always wanted to relocate out of Singapore, though not necessarily to Malaysia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desiring the \u201cfreedom\u201d to work anywhere and anytime she wanted, Ms Goh started making preparations for such an arrangement five years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in 2022, she and her husband finally moved from Singapore to Malaysia when their child was a baby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, the couple, who traveled frequently for work, concluded that it did not \u201cmake as much financial sense\u201d to maintain a property or lifestyle in Singapore when they were away so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

They officially began preparing for their move from Singapore a year before they actually left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Goh and her husband had considered a few countries to relocate to, bearing in mind their finances and property prices, and even took trips to get a feel of the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

They made trips to survey the neighbourhoods they wanted to move into, and looked at the properties, schools, and establishments in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n
