What are the most rewarding aspects of retiring in Malaysia?
We asked retirees what they find the most rewarding about retiring in Malaysia. They wrote...
"Sights, sounds and the people. I enjoy the cultures of other people and their friendships. I also find expats a much more interesting group of people then back home. Expats as a whole have much more vitality for life," remarked another expat in Penang, Malaysia.
"Meeting new people with different viewpoints than those from my own country. Seeing new places and cultures. I also have time to write on topics that I had little time to while teaching full-time," said a member in Kuching, Malaysia.
