American Takes on Malaysia part 1: for Travelers, Nomads, Retirees, and Expats

[@Simply-Hameedah]

American Mom here 😅 Malaysia is home for us we sold our home car left my job and escaped with my children specially my teens to Malaysia it’s so blessing to be here seeing them going to international school here and witnessed my first born in his second year of university for cyber security engineering here in Malaysia is just a giving this country is just amazing very family friendly 🥹 I have to add my American born kids who never lived anywhere else are telling me when they grew up they will make Malaysia home I told them retire us early and buy us a home in Malaysia 🤩

My take on this, having seen so many traveller's vlog, most people think that there are no better place in the world to live apart from the US, UK and western countries. I spent some of my younger years in the US (high school & college specifically in Pittsburgh & Indiana) and also did a bit of travelling around the country from East to the West and from South/Florida all the way to the North-Buffalo/Ontario/Detroit) and my working life travelling the world i.e Europe, Middle-East, Asia and what I can say is...'There is no place like home/Malaysia'.

*If you want to party and have a ball, Muslim Malaysia is not for you. Go to Thailand and Bali, Indonesia instead. You'll have a fun of your life with wild parties, drinks and loose women.* *Malaysia caters more for Halal, Medical and Family Oriented Tourism. Its very safe, English speaking, a good place to raise children whether you're Christian, Hindus, Buddhist. No worries for Kids education. There's so many International schools available. For retiree, Malaysia is very relax and slow moving. Whatever the neighbouring countries can offer, beaches, mountain and forest trekking etc, Malaysia have it all. The cost of living (housing, food, transportation) is out of this world. The value for money is really second to none. Hopefully it will remain so. Medical Treatment & Cost. Try it once and you'll never want to go anywhere else. Best part, for a change of scene, you can always hop to any of the nearby countries, like Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia with cheap daily flight available. Malaysia is not heaven. But Malaysia is Truly Asia and To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia.*

I am in the final stages of applying for the Sarawak MM2H (it's MUCH cheaper than the mainland.) You've done a wonderful job of expressing a lot of how I travel, what I see, and how I feel in Malaysia. The selfie/influenced crowd is truly annoying. But that's the folly of youth. I do hate when they are carelessly intrusive or rude to the locals though. It just adds unneeded stress to the day. Rule number 1 of mamaks, hawker Centers, and stalls: minimal English both on menu and being spoken. Menu boards with nicks, cuts, fades,missing letters, taped over priced are a good thing - the scars of a long life of service. Longevity means greatness in this arena. Being the only mat saleh in several hundred meters means you're in a location to be feed well. Quality will go up and price down as that radius increases.

No shame. We must always welcome ppl who have good intentions to our country and we must be steadfast in protecting our peaceful country through our unity and trust in each other, honouring lives, livelihood, properties and protecting this country for our future generations.

Welcome to Malaysia. I have travelled a lot before the pandemic hit and I can tell you for sure Malaysia is an excellent country for so many reasons. As a Malaysian I now live in Italy 1 year. Doing slow travel around Europe 1 year at a place each time or 6 months and back to Asia again maybe to retire in my own country or not I’m not sure yet. I’m 53 and I can relate cos I lost everything during the pandemic and started over. You are spot on with your views of my country. A small exception perhaps only because I lived in an affluent neighbourhood so my cost was slightly higher in everything but goodness it’s way way much cheaper than anywhere in Europe or the US. Have a great stay and just subscribed looking forward to more. Malaysia is truly Asia and I’m so proud of my country.

There are a few cities in Malaysia to choose from for living or retiring, each with its own advantages and disadvantages: Kuala Lumpur (KL) - A bustling capital city with a population of 9 million (Greater KL), offering everything you need. It is also a major travel hub in Southeast Asia. Penang / Malacca - Known for their history, culture, and food. Penang serves as the northern gateway to Thailand. Johor Bahru (JB) - Located opposite Singapore, it acts as the southern gateway between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Kota Kinabalu (KK) - Famous for its natural attractions, offering experiences from mountain adventures to deep-sea exploration. It is also Malaysia's second-largest travel hub.

And not to mention their blond hair and blue eyes were mesmerizing, ha ha! And I ended up marrying one of the "mat salehs" and moved to US. Now I can't wait to ba back in KL to retire.

First tip for you: Soon as you call yourself an “expat” when you’re in Asia, you’re starting on the wrong footing. If you really want to transform your life by being in Asia, a good place to start is your lexicon. It’s basic but it’s emblematic of real transformation from the inside. “Guest” is a good initial replacement for “expat”. If Asia has traction with you and you are resolved to making your life here, you transition to a local. If Asia’s not for you, then you were ever only a tourist. Straight-up, there’s no room for “expats” in Asia. Thanks.

Go to Ipoh, Setiawan, Taiping. These are the smaller towns up north. Monsoon season now, avoid islands.

[@SlowTravelProTips]

I really enjoyed being in Ipoh - thank you for the recommendations for next time!

[@alfredk2731]

Im from setiawan, many tourists would just go ipoh,taiping when exploring the state of Perak but setiawan has alot of good food as well its just too underrated

Malaysian food can be unhealthy to eat too much, a lot of deep-fried and coconut milk. I can eat nasi lemak, roti canai, pisang goreng every day, but I try to control myself, knowing it can take a toll on my health. Just remember to walk it off!

[@SlowTravelProTips]

Oh, that's so true. I force myself to walk the extra-long way sometimes

In the West your government treated Asian migrants as second class citizen, you shouldn't be upset if asian government treats westerners the same.

If you resettle in Malaysia with your dollar income or retire fund, you life will be like a king there.

Thank you. While I'm more interested in living with - and like - the fine people of Malaysia, the currency conversion does make it an attractive option
