Pros and Cons of Living 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," said a person living in Seremban 2.

"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)," explained one expat living in Kuala Lumpur.

"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 one expat in Malaysia.

"Well, I only speak English. Fortunately, my wife speaks Tamil, Malay, English, and a few other languages. So she is tremendously helpful in every way," said a person living in Seremban 2.

"Expats in Malaysia often find it challenging to adjust to the conservative nature of the culture, with strict rules surrounding appropriate attire and behavior. Many also find it difficult to adapt to the difficultly of navigating the language barrier, as English is not the primary language of Malaysia, and the languages spoken vary regionally. Additionally, expats unfamiliar with the local customs often find it difficult to navigate the cultural nuances and subtleties, which can be attributed to Malaysia's multi-cultural society," explained one expat living in Malaysia.
