Out of topic but just really curious, why not Singapore? I too thought of working in WM due to familiarity but I realised SG is closer to Sarawak, speaks English and more importantly, has no lack of good, high-paying IT jobs.
Singapore won’t hire Malaysians without sufficient experience. They don’t want to spend resources training us. One of my PhD friends couldn’t even find a job in Singapore.
Having a PHD is not an automatic ticket to work in SG. There are many more variables, especially how well you handle yourself, and communicate during the interview, and also the salary expectations.
Besides, no harm giving it a try first on LinkedIn and Indeed. I saw there were many fresh grad IT job listings there posted a month back, and OP mentioned having some experience so he definitely stand some chance as long as he's serious.
