weekend husband

last night i have received a text message from my wife. the contents of the message was disturbing my mind for the whole night. it was about weekend husband. she heard a discussion on a local radio over weekend husband, the implication to wife and children psychologically and emotionally.

i had tried to explain to her couples of time that it was not by choice i am working and living in oversea. what choice do i have to choose?. if i ever had a choice to choose, i would rather to choose work and live in Malaysia, my homeland close to my family.

the issue that always crops up my mind is the job market in Malaysia. there are hundreds of government and private universities and higher learning institution in Malaysia which producing thousands of undergraduate every year. i am wondering where are all these graduates end up? securing a job in Malaysia is become more competitive, and the remuneration / pay does not  meet today's cost of living.
