There are very cheap flights to Singapore or Jakarta or Bangkok to start the whole process again. Some countries are more difficult - like Thailand and the Philippines really isn't a walk in the park from my perspective. AND they'll allow you to work should you want to - there may be some restrictions but much more accommodating than anywhere else I've seen in Asia. Check either Air Asia or Tiger Air - I think there are cheap flights from PI [Clark only darn it] to KL.

Very nice of you to reply Serendipity2,
Also have some advice along similar lines to yours, as you probably have noticed already. Its very comforting to know that Malaysia is very accomodating, that gives me some encouragement to come up with a workable plan to stay there.
I am curious to know how easy or difficult it might be to set up a small business there as my Filipina friend, a very experienced and talented Tailor, also operating a small business in the Philippines, would like to start up a Dress Making business in Malaysia . If that is feasible, that could also give me a business interest. This may be a complicated matter due to the Visa requirements for Philippine Nationals. I think they need an Employer and letter of invitation to work in Malaysia. If you or anyone can offer some constructive suggestions on the possibility of starting a business like that it would be appreciated.
