Why do people move to Malaysia?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Malaysia, they responded...
"Malaysia is an increasingly popular destination for expats, due to its low cost of living, abundance of job opportunities and near perfect weather year round. In addition, expats can take advantage of Malaysia's wide variety of cultural activities, attractions and entertainment, as well as its multicultural and diverse population. Furthermore, the country is well-connected to the rest of the world with its excellent transport links and modern infrastructure, making it an easy and convenient place to live. Finally, expats can benefit from Malaysia's strong healthcare system and relatively low taxation rates, two of the key draws for internationals," said another expat in Malaysia.
