On the other hand, Choon Seng, who has been working in the IT sector for more than a year, said that deciding to move to Singapore to work is easy as he is not married.



"Going back home is not so hard these days as since there are so many options of transportation available," the 30-year-old said.



Meanwhile, there's Lu Yi who started working in Singapore in July 2015. The 31-year-old who hails from Kuala Lumpur had always wanted to take up a role at the regional level and when she was presented with that opportunity, she was quick to take it.



"The exposure is better in Singapore as it is the regional hub for many multinational corporation (MNC)," Lu Yi said.



Brian, Choon Seng and Lu Yi all agreed that the decision to move to Singapore to work was made easier because it's relatively near to Malaysia compared to other places around the world.
