Malaysian in Australia thinking of moving back

I've been living in Australia for 6 years now, been working for 3 years. Been thinking of moving back with my partner who is non-Malaysian within the next 1-3 years, mostly for family but also can't afford to buy a house in Australia.

However, I'm worried about how feasible it is to have a family there in the current economy and political environment. Also, concerned of the job opportunities and salary as I work in graphic design.

I feel like I'm throwing away an opportunity that many long for but I also don't want to regret not spending enough time with my loved ones (parents have no intensions to move over).

My fellow Malaysians residing in Malaysia, please provide some insight. How is life back home?
