Why I left Malaysia and moved to Australia

- We packed our lives into five bags and moved countries in one month. We felt God calling us into a new season in a new country. As I reflect, I realize that all I have been doing for the past decade has been a divine set up for this very moment. Before I really put my foot down to start this new chapter, I wanted to close my previous chapter by remembering some of these pivotal moments that have made me who I have become today. It was clearly God at work this whole time as I just chose to stay in the process and not quit. So thankful for everyone who has believed in me and sown into me, especially in my creative infancy days at @dmingthing.
Can't wait for what's next. It can only get better from here. Let's go!!!!

Have you moved to a new city before? What was it like for you?
I once studied in Australia and fell in love with the country even before i arrived on its land. For some reasons, I came back to my home country but never ever gave up the belief that I’ll be back someday in the future. Also after travelling to a few other countries, it reinforced me that Australia is the place where I’d love to build my family. This year is gonna be the year. I’m speeding up making things happen. Your story is encouraging. Wish you all the best in the new chapter of your lives❤️
That’s awesome Abbie! Welcome back in advance!
@@iamchrisyapaustralia is white nation proud wanna stay that way ok
Update plz n r u aware of upcoming conflict of USA China Russia
God has really blown my mind. I arrived in Melbourne last week after leaving my home country of South Africa. I gave away all that I had, and arrived here alone with 2 suitcases.
I don’t know anyone here. As daunting as it sounds, I’ve had unbelievable peace. God has taken care of everything.
Before I left, the Holy Spirit made it clear to me that I’ll have everything that I need, so there is no need to worry about anything. One week later, and I’m still in perfect peace. I haven’t made any new friends yet, but I’m confident that once I start work, things will start to change for me. I’m excited for what the Lord is doing in my life.
My theme for the year is Be Still; “still” meaning “relax”. God has everything worked out for my good.
That’s so awesome! Have you found a church here in Melbourne? Come join us at Planetshakers!!!

I've been living in Melbourne for over 15 years and I'm considering moving to Kuala Lumpur. Been there once, I loved it. Melbourne is not like how it once was. It has turned into a police state, I'm sure you know that by now. During lockdown it was a nightmare. They were prisoning people in their own apartments! Also now, if you're an Australian citizen and you plan to live elsewhere due to the corruption, if you come back to Australia for a visit, they will prison you and not let you out anymore. Trust me, you will end up going back to Malaysia. Australia is highly taxed and very expensive. They're making it difficult for their own citizens to live here. Elderly people are not being paid much pension to pay for their rent. Hence, getting kicked out. Salary will not cover all your expenses. I have worked here mainly in banks, and still, most money goes in bills. Melbourne is very expensive. The lifestyle gets depressing. Everyone is struggling with depression. Citizenship is difficult to get. This city will take from you more than it can ever give. Australians are now leaving this country to go live in Thailand and other easy going Asian countries.
What on earth are you talking about lol… yeah lockdowns were tough af, I was very against it all myself. But the rest of your comment is complete bull haha. Things are fine now and no one is being imprisoned for moving around 😂
@@sc_1312this city is overpriced and is not its money worth. If you are willing to pay for it do it in Switzerland
The same thing has happened in Malaysia lol… if you are genuinely concerned about freedom then Malaysia is not the country to move to. Journalists have been prosecuted for exercising free speech in Malaysia. And also, Malaysia also had lockdowns during covid. You couldn’t even get out of your house other than buying groceries. Australia is still a country of freedom despite what has happened and you should acknowledge that there many countries that have had it worse.
@@gytan2221 Freedom is subjective. Some people think an Orwellian society is freedom but it is in fact slavery and Australia is rapidly heading towards that direction.
😂😂😂
We are about to leave Australia and move to Malaysia
Had enough of government dictatorship and super expensive cost of living
Malaysia is great!! Hope you find a better home in it there!
Definitely much better. Malaysian people are wonderful, down to earth people with good morals and values.
@@iamchrisyapbye bye
My hubby is an Aussie and im from Malaysia but he prefer staying in Malaysia😊
that's awesome!!
Damn this hit hard. I’m currently studying in Australia, struggling to find my passion, a place to live and just balance. This gave me hope and confidence that everything will be okay. Praise the lord. Thank you for putting this out. U should do more content, can’t wait to see you blow up man 🙏🏻
Keep on at it Devon! It’ll all work out to be good in the end!
😂 people are running away from Australia
The quality of this video is amazing and nice to hear your story :) Often we don't know our actual talents till we allow ourselves to explore.
Thanks Cheryl! You’re right! We really never know until we give it a shot hey!
very inspired by your story chris! found your video while i was doing research on renting, as i will be going there soon! as much as i am feeling very nervous, watching your video shows me that there are so many possibilities, waiting for us ✨
Totally! Stoked for you!! It’s gonna be great!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Cost of living is 3 times more than Malaysia. Fuel cost $2.20au per litre which is $6.60 ringgit per litre
Hi Chris, what a compelling story and video. Enjoyed every minute of it and how God moved mountains in your story. I’m also from Msia and have the same wish to move. This inspires me alot!
So glad you did Cassandra! Yes do it! It will be great!!
Hi there, after a year from looking at your video & reading my comment - finally took the plunge and flew all the way to Melbourne solo with my suitcase. its just been 10 days - but yet to explore more in the coming days /weeks. Excited for what God has in store evntho its all a little daunting @@iamchrisyap
@@cassandralaurelrobert3812 wow that’s awesome!! How long you here for?
@@iamchrisyap Hi Chris, its just a 7 month course - but looking for other means to stay after that. You must be really settled in already 👍
@@cassandralaurelrobert3812 many things can happen and change in 7 months! Hope you’re enjoying Melbourne! Come visit Planetshakers Church in the city! It’s one of the best things about Melbourne!!
Grass is greener on the other side. For me at least as a Malaysian student in Sydney, I freaking love Sydney because it reminds me a lot of American cities but if America was cities were well maintained,clean and have good infrastructure. Its a perfect blend between old and new. Everything feels so picturesque in Melbourne and Sydney cbd. It made me wonder why many Asian cities are built so "coldly" with glass and steels skyscrapers. There's a certain charm to Melbourne and Sydney especially with their old area that reminds me of classic American movies.
Melbourne and Sydney CBDs were built up during the 1800's.
Modern Chinese cities only in the last 50 years or less.
I needed this so badly, Our GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD HE REIGNS!
Wow. Really glad to hear that. Means a lot. Be blessed!
Thanks for sharing your stories, Chris. We’re in the midst of exploring opportunities to make that move.

Beautiful way of sharing and I pray that this story of yours will impact many others! ALSO. Again, beautiful colours! Please do a tutorial on how you colour your videos T.T
Wow. So glad to hear it spoke to you. You worked in core studios too hey! Loving what you’re doing too in MrMoneyTV. Literally changing lives of people w finance education, myself included.
Hahah really?? Honestly I’m still sussing it out and figuring what works for me. Every video is a diff color atm 🫠 but yes I’d love to make a video on that someday soon hopefully!!
Same here. This is an amazing testimony of God's faithfulness. I can directly relate with the fear that comes in making such huge and unprecedented moves in life.
Glad you do Joe. We’re in good hands! 🙌🏼
I don’t understand why it was your first day of college already and you surprise you get the visa🤔

Amen!
Very moving inspiring story ❤ may I ask how did you know it was God’s calling? Coz you just sold everything pack up and go without a place to stay initially. Please enlighten: I’m looking to move out of country, btw a fellow Malaysian here 😊
Hey D. It was something we’ve been sitting in thought and prayer about for a few years now. It’s a combination of many things really, I’d say mainly was learning to hear God’s voice and discerning in the spirit. With different things unfolding in our lives, and us hearing from God that it was time, we were convicted us to go for it. It was not an easy decision, but we got so convicted that it became clear that it was something that we needed to do.
We love it here, but we also love Malaysia very much. But most importantly for us was to be where God was calling us to go.
God’s heart will always be to bless us abundantly, and we just need to be obedient and position ourselves well to receive it.
Hope this helps! Encourage you to really just pray about it and perhaps seek some wise counsel from leaders/mentors!
It’s gonna be great, D! Stoked for what’s ahead of you!
Hi,
I just stumbled on your video today and its must confess, it has being awesome.
Faithful God, He maketh all things beautiful in His time.
In one of your videos about apartment, one thing that struck me was when you mentioned 'access or proximity to church' as a priority. You mentioned faith and that steered me up. You also mentioned how God calling you to go to another country. This shows both of you are people of great faith.
I will be relocating to Australia soon too, if God leads me to Melbourne, I hope you won't mind if we have a sit down together possibly in same church and enjoy worship together.
God bless you both, the future holds a whole lot of beauties in place.
NB: which church do you worship?
Hey Viktor! Really glad you enjoyed it. Would totally love that! I go to Planetshakers Church! Come!! When are you coming to Melbourne?
@@iamchrisyap I am keenly trusting God that my grant will come in latest by April. If it does before or by April latest, I hope to be around by July 1st week, at most.
@@viktorsamuel4025 awesome! Praying for supernatural favour! See you in Melbourne soon! 🥳
Thank you so much... 😊
honestly i was very proud of you. I can feel God was with you.
:') thank you for your kind words
Very inspiring video! Could relate to your story. After much trial , my husband & I together with our two kids are just few months away frm moving to Australia ✌🏻
Initially since Dec 2020 we had many other countries in mind but it didn't work out ( I'm sure God had something better for us)
Keep inspiring Us! Wishing You & Yr Wife an adventuruos life ahead ♥️
Wow moving with kids! That must’ve been a huge step to take. Where did you guys move from? Welcome to Melbourne!!♥️
Hi Bairavi,
You moved to which city?
what's the reason for your move from Malaysia to Australia? Would be happy to hear your story . Cheers
Many of my non muslim friends have migrated to US, Europe, Australia and NZ. If all the non muslims leave Malaysia, then the Rohingyas, Banglas, Indons, Pakistanis and Palestinians will take their place. Zakir Naik once said Malaysia is the best country for muslims.
Thank you for sharing ..ur story is inspiration
Its been super inspiring. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad it was. Cheers Darren!
How did you get a visa to stay in Australia permanently
we managed to get a PR invite!
Nice videos! Did you both booked a one way ticket with oz ETA first? Or with a return tix
We bought a return ticket with the intention of changing the dates haha
@@iamchrisyap Ahh i see! Also, is the course fee differs if we apply from Malaysia compared to applying when already in oz? (Study fees)
@hanisinsyirah4481 nah international students fees are the same. You only pay diff fees if you’re a PR or citizen if I’m not mistaken
@@hanisinsyirah4481 it’s the same, only different if you are local citizen
such an inspiring video! My husband and I wish to migrate to Melbourne too, perhaps in a couple of years from now. I got a question though - is there any reason why you didn’t go with the Working Holiday Visa route?
Hey Fatin! Working holiday only permits you for certain jobs and it’s more of a short term visa, we’re looking to settle here for a good few years at the very least so that probably wouldn’t work too well for us!
Excited for you guys! You’ll love it here!
Were full up dont come
How u convert ur tourists visa during ur stay in Australia for a long stay
I was studying so I applied for a student visa!
Saya dulu tinggal di Footscray dan Tullamarine town dekat dgn airport. Rindu lepak Bourke Street. Hey mate g'day!
nice bro! g'day hahaha
Beautiful content Chris. Pls what's the name of the church you attend? Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! The church is called Planetshakers Church!
God always give a way..🙏🏻
Amen!
You did not say why you left Malaysia, that was the topic of discussion instead of telling us about you life. What I did conclude from your video that there is GOD in Australia but not in Malaysia.
Hey Zozo. You’re right on that. I realized I might not have communicated that as clearly as I wanted to. Thanks for pointing it out!
I think your conclusions somewhat nails it but only for me personally, as I’ve personally felt that I was called to come to Australia in this season of my life. So it felt like I couldn’t stay in MY any longer and needed follow the call of God in my life.
All countries have their pros and cons. To me if God had chosen me to be born here, there must be something that I can contribute using the gifts He gave. There are just so many needs here in a developing country like Malaysia. Anyway, all the best to you and dun forget us here and pray for us. Cheers,
For sure mate 🙏🏼♥️
4:37 yooooooo i really want to try to do this once in my lifetime too!!! hahahahah btw nice sharing bro! hoping that one day i managed to travel and start something new in another country too! all the best to you and your partner bro
You should! Thanks mate
Inspirational ❤️ oooh this is sheron btw😅
Eyyyyy brudaaaaa ♥️
The best,
A vast world created for man.
Migrate to a place that can give us happiness.
HISTORY # RESPECT
I’m waiting for my visa right now to move to Melbourne next month as a student! I’ve been so stressed constantly heckling my mail hoping for something positive 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
It will alright George! Hang in there!! It’ll all come together in the end!!
@@iamchrisyap student u mean backdoormigrant were a white nation proud
Australia if you need money, Kuala lumpur if you don't. Simple as that. KL offers higher quality of life than Australia/US/Canada for 1/6 of the cost.
don't forget Australia is bigger, there's much more to explore ! :) if you're retired maybe Malaysia is better
Thank you for sharing
♥️
I’m planning to move from Australia to Malaysia.🤣
Do it!
Meanwhile thousands of Australian are looking for opportunities to moving and living in Malaysia! Yeah... The grass of your neighbours are more greening than yours 😁
Hahaha yeh true. Just gotta be sure to water the land we’re in hey!
maybe that's why Jesus said don't believe them when they say the kingdom is here or there, the kingdom is within. With God inside us no matter where we go we are a light.
Praise the Lord!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
WTF would you apply to SIN?
Enjoy the wide open spaces of OZ.
Enjoy the country drives, open beaches and especially fishing.
God bless u and he will lead your way....
Amen!!
Extraordinary quality
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Be careful what you wish for Malaysia, becoming a first world country comes at a huge price.
Cleanliness
@@kylejones640 😂 ok
What do you mean by huge price. Please elaborate.
@@MDSHAHIDKHANRONY over regulation. Hawkers will not be able to trade. Coffee shop prices will skyrocket due to over regulation. Government revenue raising, speed cameras everywhere, red light cameras everywhere, parking inspectors and metered parking everywhere. Everything from food to property to medical will skyrocket. Breaking down of family. Break down of healthy family morals and values. No more fireworks allowed to be sold to public. You will need permits for just about everything. Taxes will continue to increase to pay for bigger government. Corruption will also increase.
Today, Malaysia is a wonderful and free country to live in. The people are beautiful and kind in nature, please do not lose this. Remember, western countries are new countries with no culture except for drinking alcohol, over eating of junk food and intolerance for other people’s cultures.
Corruption greed will increase 100x.
Illegal drug use will also increase as well as homelessness.
Products are no longer built to last. Religion is no longer important.
The divide between people will increase.
@@kylejones640cleanliness? How so? Malaysia is just as clean as any western country.
I’ve have never been sick from eating hawker or coffee shop food.
Glory to God!
Praise him!!
Keep up the good work, I plan to migrate to Melbourne too
Come!!
@@iamchrisyap any advice what type of visa to apply?
Really depends on your situation. I highly recommend checking out traci migration on IG! Super helpful!

i thought he's going start rapping with that mic hold lol..
omg that's Viknesh in 0:55
Somewhere along the way, where you were, lost faith along the way. I was mislead by what signs were shown to me. I then reverted back to myself and not be mislead by the church and its leaders and followers. All had their own agenda and they were never there to help or hold your hands . They were just hypocrites.
This was so encouraging. I am literally moved to tears.
I am an international student in London and I've been struggling financially and also with trying to get my first job. It's been a rough time. In my head i know that God is good and He is always going to take care of us but I've been finding myself being angry with God and lashing out at Him. It has seriously affected my walk with Him.
I honestly don't know why I am seeing this now but thank you for reminding me of how awesome God is. I pray that Australia will continually be good to you. God bless you!
So glad to hear that this encouraged you!! You’re doing better than you know. God’s got you! It’ll all be good mate. Keep trusting!
