@@zarajazz I renewed last year no problem 😉 good thing we got in many years ago.

Malaysia is a good place to live but very hard to get citizenship.. feel very sorry to those that chose Malaysia for the past 10-20 years, especially to those consider Malaysia as their home.

​@darkreeze not if you have a name like Abdul,Mohammad and Razak. But if you're a McAllister,Gray,Tan,Chong,Samy or Kandiah it may take a while even a lifetime.

Happy for you 👍

Come, 3 months a year, if it is a choice😂😂😂

Welcome to Malaysia! Hope you will have a wonderful experience visiting Malaysia. If you need anything just ask any locals, we are happy to help any way we can :D

The easiest place on earth to set up doing business is still Singapore❤ U can google & from many sources that the world has been ranking singapore as the easiest place to do business for so many decades alrdy, u can literally get paperwork done within a day!!❤❤Singapore is well known for its efficiency & best infrastrature(is ranked no.1 in the world). Singapore is also vy diverse country with multi races & vy expat friendly! Out of 6 million populations, almost HALF population living in Singapore are foreigners(incl over 1 mil malaysians working & studying in SG cos SG has 6 times HIGHER salary than Msia)❤❤ Malaysia however is the opposite of Singapore, their work style is known to be in vy slow pace & u have to go through much red tapes & bureaucracy to get the documents approved!!😢 Anyone who grew up in asia knows that malaysia always take forever to get things on time or earlier. Even their trains system only finally built 30yrs later after Singapore😅 FYI, KL malaysia is the same situation. KL was just a flat land in 1990s when Singapore already became developed country in early 1990s. KL only began to start having buildings in early 2000s which is alrdy considered a slow start to have tallest building in mid 2000. Singapore alrdy had tallest building in 1980s, haha but since singapore has alrdy became developed status, we care more to focus on nurturing its internal "software" such as human development rather than on the physical "hardware" of the country such as having tallest buildings🤭 Anyone who's observant on the world issues knows that only developing cities care about tallest buildings eg Dubai, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines etc😅😆 For educational system, singapore also been ranked the best in ASIA (not just in southeast asia) & the only asia country in world top 10. Singapore students been topped in the world no.1 ranking for reading, math & science. Many southeast asians (esp malaysians & indonesians) been flocking to send their kids to study in Singapore for the last 4-5 decades too. U can check on the educational system in the world ranking too. Thats why singapore often topped as world's most intelligent country🇸🇬🇸🇬

When you coming home for good? Malaysians will miss you.

​@@ronlombok1677 Ah thank you, we have been back recently to visit my brother and family.

Agree. Also you can’t “discover” (Raffles) a place if there are already inhabitants

@neutroyaz I just wrote the same thing.

A basic private health insurance plan for expats in Malaysia can range between RM100 to RM500 (approx. $22 and $113) per month. However, insurance costs vary depending on several important factors, such as age, coverage level, insurance duration, provider, policy, and health status. Its called Penang Swimming Club in Tanjung Bungah.

What about it’s politics and religious/racial problems?

Why do you say that?

You could stay in Penang and your kids can stay in KL for undergraduate university?

@@heythave Thanks for your comment. Certainly looks like more options are available in KL.

USM is a good University.

@@silversurfer6758Malaysia has got plenty of highly-rated universities, both public and private. Some are even within the top-100 ranking globally. As for the private unis, plenty UK/AU and China-based universities have also opened their Malaysia branch here, so your children can still get UK/AU degrees with possible Malaysia-rate fees. Hope this info helps

@@silversurfer6758 Monash University and University of Nottingham are not far from KL. Harriot-Watt University in Putrajaya

It’s along Chulia Street, opposite Mugshot cafe n Rainforest bakery

Why? Do you think it's the best place for an expat in SE Asia?

MM2H is on hold now as the MYS govt is re evaluating the scheme to make it more attractive. The RM 40,000 was one of the complaints which went up from RM 10000 which is why applications decreased by 90%. Wait and see what happens as govt are due to reissue revised figures including the monthly income required. I myself are interested in this as well. Good luck !

@@jami7772 Thanks for your reply :)

I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

Every one of my prayer requests is about to manifest in the Name of Jesus I receive and connect with this message in Jesus' mighty Name Amen🔥🙏

After enduring many struggles, I am now filled with gratitude for owning a new home. My family is happy, and everything is finally falling into place.

I have been searching for ways to achieve success. Can you please guide me on how to do so?

Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is..

He mentioned dollars...guess he’s quoting USD or even Aussie$. Else, he wud hv quoted RM (Ringgit Malaysia)....

@@josephinewailingchan8976 That was what she asked.

He moved from Australia so my guess would be Aus dollars, but since the title just says $900 I would like to know also. @@josephinewailingchan8976

You mean ‘bestdurian’?

You can get everything you need for 250 a month. I think many foreigners just don't realize this and overpay

The electricity bill in Malaysia are roughly about 50~100 USD if you use aircond. Internet bill is about 30~40 USD, Water bill maybe just 10~20 USD. Malaysia have no winter, so, no need for heating.

​@@humanity2914 Same numbers I'm seeing here in the Philippines

@@Re3iRtH depend on how they consume but Malaysian electricity is heavily subsidized. The electricity tariff here just 1/4 of philipines and the Gasoline cost only 1/3 of philipines.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, raw sewage as I recall. It's not processed at all, the whole island's waste is pumped out into the strait.

@@briancopestick9998 Ew 🤢… thank you for the reply. Such a shame.

That stretch of beach is more secluded and cut off from other stretches by an old sewage drain. All new buildings have modern sewage processing facilities however and do not discharge them into the sea.

Not all coastlibe in SEA are clear and hqve corale due to mangrive and mud flats at estuarines...the best beached are at the east coast which are 3-5 hours drive away from major cities so not difficult to go for weekend getaways.

@@hijazzains I wasn’t inquiring about “all” coastlines, just this beach. And I never assumed or made a statement that all coastlines in SEA should be clear… they SHOULD however not be dumping sewage in the ocean.

@@mell7702lol

Have your daily runs in the apartment?

Found that odd too. Like a museum or warehouse lounge

MM2H is currently suspended

Correct. But when retired comeback home.

It depends on a few factors, but generally you can legally be exempt from income from outside Malaysia.

Yes, they do 😢 since 2023, but no-one is declaring it yet.

@@peterg3365 Thanks. So they have become a residential rather than territorial tax system

@bornfree8487 At the moment tax will only be charged on foreign income remitted to Malaysia. This may change in 2026.

We never stay directly in the heat. That's why we always driving not walking. Always take cover. Stay inside, early morning n bit later of afternoon can go outside, quite nice weather. Evening n night is perfect!

We Malaysians never go out in the sun. We use brollies when walking (yes) if we have to, stay inside and aircond. And do our sports or gym in the evenings or early mornings

@tanticitogal I've seen loads of Malaysians walking around in the middle of the day outside. They eat at the hawker stalls, which are not air conditioned.

@@ET740you’ll get used to it after about a month. My husband used to be drenched, after a month it got better. However he will still burn. Luckily my mixed kids dont burn, just get tanned

@cececonnie5509 No, I'm afraid not. I lived in Japan for 8 & a half years & every Summer was as hot & humid as the last. I was built specifically for the cold!

Some people prefer it to cold and freezing.

​@@heythave - It's VERY hot and humid, all year. No break. That is the biggest drawback of Malaysia for me.

@@buzzselous3757 I know. I was just there a month ago.

@@heythave That's a shame. I moved to the Lake Tahoe to escape the Deep South heat and don't mind the cold winters, BUT I do mind only having four warm months. Spring is still chilly and much of the fall is too. Uggh

​@@SenorJuan2023I'm in SF and escape to SE Asia in the winter. Love the warmth and humidity. Was just in Penang for 2 weeks last month. Then 2 weeks moving south through Taiping, Ipoh, KL, Putrajaya. Love the culture, people, and the fabulous food.

I suggest wait for MM2H announcement, end of march i think

Well at least I have 90 days holiday access . Just landed in kl Airport seems like a good place

They will be modifying it soon to reduce the costs

Really? Why do you like Thailand better than Penang? I'm trying to decide between the two. Right now penang seems better because thai immigration is causing trouble for many people doing long stays on the tourist visa

@@Chris-dw6cu I married a Thai Ladyboy . Everything became easy . Penang is boring . No Ladyboys .

It is personal preferences mate😂

Land of Ladyboys and street pleasures, what's there not to like 😂

It jacks up prices for everyone. All of SE Asia is getting "gentrified" like this and the end result will be not even most westerners will be able to afford living here. I'm not a local but I know what local prices are and there's no way I'd ever pay 900 for a condo in a place where a great condo costs 300.

Supply and demand. When more people want to live there the prices go up. When people don’t want them, the prices go down. Free market.

Wow really? Didn't know about that. Kinda scary. Where can one read more about that?

@@Chris-dw6cujust google, the laws are clearly stated, I would avoid Malaysia at all costs.

@@90taetaeya Good idea!

dont be rude

What's wrong with you? Pls don't bring ur identity crisis here n drag all the Malaysians with u!

He's on a MMH2 program - a long residency stay in Malaysia as a second home.

Which part of the video shows he's not humble?

Yes, don't be rude. Maybe U mom and dad had bad manners inherited by you.

Malaysia has very generous 90-day visas - I am almost certain Scandinavian residents would qualify for these as well.

You don't need a visa to stay. Just leave every 90 days and return on the visa exemption

@@Chris-dw6cu hi thank you for your response, that’s nice to hear. When you have to leave the country how many days / weeks or months in between before you can return again into the country ? Also just wondering, do they ask you what a purpose that you stay in Malaysia ? So you can stay for 3 months than out, and than in again just keep going like that without limits .

@@bramamortsell83 you can go and come back the very same day. Generally immigration officers will not say anything at all to you. If one starts to question you, ask why you're there just say things like : I love Malaysia, I'm exploring the country and trying to learn more about the culture.

@@Chris-dw6cu Hi again, thanks for quick response. That’s sounds wonderful. I will definitely prepare to visit Malaysia. Thanks again and enjoy Malaysia
