Pros and Cons of Living in Malaysia

"Finger on the pulse with the latest happenings. Potential to go overseas easier (although we found not so much driving domestically like we had thought)," said one person in Kuala Lumpur.

"Expatriates in Malaysia are drawn to the country’s diverse culture and friendly, welcoming people. They appreciate the country’s rich heritage, as well as its beautiful, natural environment and its unique blend of traditional and modern influences. Expats also value the variety of delicious cuisines, including Malay, Chinese, and Indian, and the many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, and scuba diving. Additionally, the affordable cost of living and the relatively lower taxes compared to other countries makes living in Malaysia attractive for expats," remarked one expat in Malaysia.

"Friendliness, kindness, neighbors often help neighbors when you are sick, or sad. They will cook and bring you food. So kind and loving! We do the same for our neighbors," explained one expat living in Seremban 2.

"Driving here is tough because a person has to worry about other drivers using half on your lane, not signaling and the motorcycles. Smallest road are full holes that can easily damage the tires. I came from Minnesota so the hot weather needs getting use to," said a person living in Malaysia.
