honestly yeah you can do it but as a malaysian writer i doubt you can earn much money off doing this. malays read malay books a lot of chinese read chinese/malay books the natives also prefer malay books so i dont see much of a market.... i am an aspiring writer too and i love to write in english but becaus eof it i need a day job

Hi, I am a passionate teenage writer who resides in Malaysia. First off, you got to be confident of yourself, tell yourself that you can do it. Although I'm just a teenage writer, I've passion for what I'm doing and guess what, I've earned money from the Star newspaper by writing fictional stories! And by the way, do enter local writing contests, they do help you to gain familiarity with the publishing industry. Good luck on your interest.

Sure. Since so many agents and publishers conduct all their business online, it literally does not matter where the author lives, so long as s/he's got internet access. There's no requirement that you and an agent, editor, publisher, etc. ever meet face-to-face. In fact, I'm online friends and among the beta readers for a guy in the Philippines who writes for American audiences. He's damned good, too. He limited his search for an agent to those who accept queries online rather than insisting on paper mail, but that's about the only concession he made. He's got the same agent as Dan Brown. That said, though, your English as demonstrated here is nowhere near fluent enough for an English-speaking market. Yet--keep working at it!

Where would you prefer to travel/live in Malaysia

Where would you prefer to travel/live in Malaysia?
West Malaysia or East Malaysia/Borneo? Personally I would prefer East Malaysia, where there is more cultural aspects and of course, much lesser racial discrimination faced in the Semenanjung. Its a very 'different' Malaysia there. How do Malaysians feel about this?

Kuala lumpur!!

I was born in the East, stayed there for 11years, came to west malaysia, totally regret moving. I think the west part is rushing for country development, and because of that we face so many problems, including racial issues. I don't really know much, i've been living in the west part for only 7 years, & im just a kid. See what the adults have to say. goodluck.
3 :
Totally agree with you. But i prefer the jungles. Gggraawwwllll.
4 :
i would say the BIG CITIES. Penang, KL, Johore.
5 :
it would be Penang.....A nice,peaceful and beautiful island........white sandy beaches...hills............
6 :
EAST east east!!!!yeeeeehhhhaaaaaa........

Give me Kuching anytime. The city adopts a "laid back" style - we go about doing our business in a leisurely pace, so less stressful. Although we have traffic jam, it mostly occurs during rush hour & even then, not as bad as in KL, Penang or JB. Plenty of greens & parks in the city centre, the latest addition being Malaysia-China Friendship Park. The Waterfront, Padang Merdeka, Sarawak Museum & surrounding areas are popular with locals & tourists alike. The natives (Iban/Bidayuh) formed the majority of the population followed by Malay, Chinese but very few Indians. That's why we don't declare Deepavali holiday here. All races get on well with each other. Why not come to Kuching & see for yourself: 3D/2N is sufficient although if you wish to visit a longhouse, you may have to add in an extra day.

Kuching, Penang and Malacca.

Discrimination? It happens everywhere regardless you in Asia or Europe even in the North America and Africa. Therefore, I would say, I do not mind living anywhere in the Malaysia. It a matter of preferences and priorities! The most importantly, find your surviving skills because discrimination happens anywhere.
10 :
East Malaysia like Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are beautiful and laid-back. However, I found these 2 cities have problem with petty crimes and illegal immigrants. I prefer Penang and Kuala Lumpur or even Malacca.
11 :
no duh !
12 :
I live in KL and I love it here. Although I am not Malaysian, I know a lot of people from Sabah and Sarawak who have moved to KL due to lack of advancement in East Malaysia. Although East Malaysia is culturally rich and has retained most of it values and heritage, I'd still prefer the hustle and bustle of KL!
13 :
i would prefer west malaysia.. Kelantan or terengganu.. cheap stuff & ppl quite polite..
14 :
live- east...but i like to travel to west to have my shopping spree
15 :
If u say u wanna live in city..i don see johor or even peneng is alot better then kota kinabalu....if u say u need a rest i can say kota kinabalu have plenty of world class island and nature park and if u like nature i can tell u World Heritage site only can found in Sabah n Sarawak. So,what do u think>?

You will need to apply for tourism visa... You can apply whether from Embassy or from any Singapore Airlines office... It's easy to get visa, the only problem you will get only 21 days tourism visa as usual! Good Luck... Mina
2 :
Eligibility Foreigners holding ordinary passports issued by the following Assessment Level I Countries will require either a Business or Social Visit visa to enter Singapore: India* Myanmar* Nigeria* Peopleâ€™s Republic of China (PRC)â€ Commonwealth of Independent Statesâ€ : Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Moldova Russia Tajikistan Turkmenistan Ukraine ~ Uzbekistan AND Holders of: Hong Kong Document of Identity Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Travel Permit * Holders of Diplomatic, Official and Service passports are exempted from visa requirements. â€ Holders of Diplomatic, Official, Service and Public Affairs passports are exempted from visa requirements for a stay of up to 30 days. ~ Holders of Diplomatic, Official and Service passports are exempted from visa requirements for a stay of up to 90 days. So the list above includes passport of Nigeria. Your residenship in Malaysia has nothing to do for Singapore, so its not a exemption of visa proof.

Yes, you need a visa to visit Singapore. the reputation of Nigerian is world known. So too bad if you happen to be a good citizen of Nigeria.
