He could easily read one of the audiobooks. He has a very smooth way of telling stories.

I'm from Singapore, whenever I have business meeting or just leisure Penang has always been my choice. Malacca and Eastern Part also a nice place to be.. Malaysia has always be my home

I agree. Malaysia is one of my favorite places. There's only one negative that I can think of is the annual forest burning in Indonesia that causes smoke & smog all over SE Asia. I hope they resolve that soon.

This man should do a 1 hour program on penang make him ambassador for tourism for 1 year

It seems like everyone is fall in love with his voice. Very calm to heard. I repeated twice 😊

Wow, also used Alter Domas, and lived in Penang for 5 yrs. What you say is so true. Came back to the states 2 yrs ago. No longer feels like home. Missing Penang!!! Namaste.

Nigel, your voice is so suitably soothing for documentary chanel...good job 😁

My wife and I used Alter Domus to get our MM2H back in 2015. We have really enjoyed Penang and Alter Domus has always been there to help us !

I love listening to his voice. I hope he'll do audiobooks

I'm singaporean living in Malaysia..i love this places

This guy can give David Attenborough a narrative battle of a lifetime

You are really a great narrator! Very, very nice to listen to your stories. I love this way much more than the noisy "VLOGs" of the youngsters, which are just selfies in a video.

I don't live in penang but to me, it's like mixing of *Venice* (heritage building), *San francisco* (separate from mainland), *Gold coast* (condo along the beach) & *Malaysian* style. But however, i could say u choose the right place to enjoy your life. It's affordable, friendly society & free country. Have fun in Malaysia dude.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Please keep up the good work!😊👌♥️

Good choice.. i used to be an agent for Alter Domus year ago. I would recommend Penang again..

Hi，I am the one meet u at the 7 eleven last friday night. Just finished watch your video and thank for loving penang as your home. I should say welcome back to home.

Penang is not my home town. But I lived there for about 5 years. I always call Penang my 2nd home town.

Whole Malaysia is laid back as heck.

I have been in Penang and Malaysia for the first time in 2019 and I had the same feeling of that guy even if I'm much younger (about 30) I hope that I will be able to do the same as him.

Simple, informative, well produced video. No Goddamn disco music.....young youtubers take note.

This guy can be the commentator for national geographic channel, or animal planet, or bbc channel

I agree, it’s hard not to fall in love with Penang once you know the place..I love the atmosphere and people are so nice, the food is one of the best and I’m coming from Indonesia.

Hi Nigel, Welcome to Malaysia. Nice soothing voice to a great video.

Komtar centre! We loved Penang and Malaysia too Abd gge people and food!

This is one of my wishes to live in Penang when retired . I visited Penang a dozen times and love it.

Nigel, you have a great voice! It reminds me of Keith Richards. Did you enjoy living in London in the 60s and 70s? Did you see a lot of great bands then? Cheers.

I been to penang couple a times. I enjoyed nice place

You can always find peace in Penang. Beautiful island surrounded by hills and beaches .. nice people and delicious food ..

Sir.. your voice is amazing.

Thank you

Very cool, Nigel.

Superb background music and narration. Just like watching movie.

Francis Light will be proud.

Nice to see a sensible video that actually gives information, compared to the 99% videos showing prices from a menu from clueless vloggers

Wow a simple and enjoyable video 😁

Very good video. Thanks everyone

Welcome to Malaysia

We live in KL and are thinking about retiring here as our first choice of Thailand has become a difficult experience for expats. Thanks for your helpful input.

wellcome to penang .God bless you.

I have happily been there twice. It's quite pleasant. I stayed at George town. What I missed to visit was Batu Feringgi beach. I am quite curious about it. Hopefully I can go traveling there again. Thanks a lot and I am truly filled with longing to listen to your voice again.

If you ever go to Penang, you will never forget it and always want to go back!

Thanks Sir

WOW his voice really nice to hear, feel like watching national geography and discovery channel , love it.

Welcome to Malaysia !

Architecture reminds me of Singapore.

I love Penang. I have been to Penang a few times, and wanting to discover more about it. I don't mind the heat as I am originally from Laos, which has similar climate. As I am still too young to look into retirement, but never too early not to talk about it. Yes, I like melted pot culture there, food is awesome and inexpensive. And Malaysia is kindly welcome expats, offering MM2H visa ( Malaysia My 2nd Home Visa) Unlike Thailand in recent years. Expats are leaving Thailand due to many reasons.

I from penang Malaysia.. Nice video.. 💞💞💞

Welcome to Malaysia😊😊

Wauuuu terharu

Hi Nigel! I'm a proud Malaysian who was born in London (1976) 😄😄

Loved it

I would like to retire in Penang in about 12 years. I hope the MM2H program is still around when the time comes.

Chulia st jeweller know his brother in Wellington nz.

Welcome

Welcome to Penang, I hope you have a pleasant stay here

Yes... penang is the only city rank top 10 city for retirement in the world. Thank you!

Thank you Nigel, I am happy with your nice presentation but it is missing the required information on how you got where you are...the question is how much money did you and your wife have to put up? The information I have looked at it implies the offer is only available for people of comfortable means, not for low-cost applicants with a basic pension. Are couples processed as a couple or as individuals? Does it cost less as a couple...lots of questions need answers.

Year 2012 was my first trip to Thailand and behold I met that nice man JC. The Australian Aged Pension (AAP) was very good then related to the Thai Baht, it was Bt31 or US $105 (65 cents today) If you apply that figure and compare it to the AAP as it was in 2012 it was equal to equal to Bt752,320, (2012) just short of getting a retirement visa, today it is equal to Bt497,502...to get a retirement visa in Thailand. In 2012 when you almost had enough to get one just from just the pension alone (AAP). Embassies then were quite happy to give you a stat dec. for the Bt800,000 because it was near the required amount anyway. Today you need 1.5 times that amount approximate savings to get a retirement visa plus insurance and you can only spend half of your Bt800,000 to live on for that 12 months period for the retirement visa. Evan Blind Freedy knows that is just no good. Aussie pensioners are better off staying home in Australia or going to the Philippines or Cambodia. Also, Malaysia with its free 90-day tourist visas can be turned into a long term residency provided you leave the country now and then for a while on a 30-day free Thai tourist visa. Go to Thailand would do the trick or go to the Philippines or Cambodia short stay or maybe forever that would work?. Perhaps you may not return often to Malaysia or Thailand and still live comfortably on your Australian Pension and remain there. Thailand is now RS for retirees it has gone past its use-by date...sorry was good but NBG now. (no bloody good)

I'm a 78y/o Aussie and still quite fit, I do have the funds to get an MM2h visa but I'm unlikely to spend the Aus $4400 monthly pension as required as a single older man to get one. I would have to cash in much of my Australian Bank managed pension fund to put up the required capital payment which has returned around 10% dividends and capital gains for the last 10 years to get maybe 1% interest in a Malaysia Bank (maybe none) if I go that way instead of the Aus $4400 pension. That would cost me at least Aus$12,000 a year lost dividends on my pension investment fund (not small for a pensioner, I could buy a small car for that each year) or about 33,000 rgt or as much as my food and lodging expenses would be for a year in Penang. I don't spend this much in Australia and live quite comfortably, I do own a house as well in Australia. It seems if you default after receiving your MM2H visa by not having the Aus$4400 a month banked your MM2H visa could lapse or be suspended. (it's in the fine print). I have perused the MM2H requirements extensively. I have spent a lot of time in Thailand not permanent but about 50/50 in Cha-am Thailand. Sometimes on a Thai retirement visa (which I get in Australia using my pension surrender value to qualify, no actual money required, yes), or on a Thai 90-day Tourist visa, 90-day tourist visas these you can only get in your home country, not in Thailand. I have never had a bank account in Thailand and never will. It's all now a bit complicated for 78 y/o to live in Thailand with all the new requirements, almost impossible to get medical insurance nowadays for my age, so a Thai Retirement 1-year visa is very complicated even if you have the required funds. I don't like to put money in a bank other than an Australian Bank (Govt guaranteed). I do not need a lot more than maybe Aus $1,200 p/m, to live comfortably in Malaysia in a rental studio in Penang in a one B/R apartment together with food. I can cook but do like to eat out often. Not a big drinker but I know that a bottle of Thai Samsung Rum costs about Aus $12 in Thailand, about Aus$38 in Australia and more in Malaysia perhaps Aus $45 (outrageous tax, tax, tax), perhaps the Muslum influence. I have been to Penang and love it, it is very cheap and convenient to travel from Perth to KL/Penang/return. I'd like to spend time there and flit to and from Perth Australia to Penang on a regular basis but not really permanent. Australia will always be my permanent home. There does seem to be some restriction of using Malaysia 90 day tourist visas which would suit me as I would be an on/off resident? Maybe short trips to Thailand or the Philippines or back to Aus and return to Malaysia for another 3 months. I suspect that some people who live in Malaysia do things this way. Of all the comments on these pages, they seem to avoid alcohol cost discussions...like I say I'm not a big drinker, yes as a retiree maybe 2/3/4 drinks a day but not always. My doctor says that's OK, good for me, 5/6 drinks not so good? I walk 6km or more each morning, have done for 43 years, still the same pace, no trouble. What else can I spend my comfortable pension on? I'm a bit old to chase the ladies (but I'll have a go). To spend my leftover Aus $3000 per month I need about 3 girlfriends? or maybe more? (please laugh! loud!)... any suggestions?

Welcome to Penang - " Pearl of Orient "

Hi sir... enjoy your retirement in Malaysia..hi from Sabah..👌
