For fresh HK want to stay Malaysia, I encourage them to stay KL, Hartamas or Cheras area. You still be able to adapt, then you need to take Malay tutor, Malay language is almost like English. Then you can explore everywhere confidently, some of you maybe like hills, Malaysia have a lot, some of you like sea, Malaysia have a lot too. Some of you prefer British vibe abit, there some places keep that too, or you prefer Cantonese back, you can keep stay in Ipoh, KL Seremban etc. your kids can enrol in private schools with 3 languages subjects settle ~

If you stay in high Chinese population at KL or Selangor areas like Cheras, Puchong, Bukit Jalil (OUG, Seri Petaling), Seri Kembangan etc, you definitely can speak Cantonese & English to survive. These areas have more Chinese food as well😅

When your wife said she was amazed how Malaysians can switch back and forth different languages (English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin, etc.) easily as we speak, I seriously don't think most Malaysians thought that's anything special about it 😂😅 till foreigners, like youself, highlighted it to us. It took me a while to digest this so called "amazing thing" when my friends and I have been communicating like that since we are kids. 😂😅 Starting from kindergarden age, most Malaysians learned Bahasa and English (excluding our mother's tongue language). And as we grew up, we learned to "mix and match" and or borrow words from different languages to suit our daily conversations with our friends of difference races. Someone commented in here that Ipoh's spoken Cantonese is a much more proper Cantonese and I agree with that. As a born and bred KL boy, KL's spoken Cantonese is a much more "spicier" version as it has absorbed lots of Malay, Indian and English words into it. Years ago when I was studying in an US university, I got to know some HK friends in class and I thought, oh great, at last I get to communicate in Cantonese with them. But surprisingly (for me), they said they don't understand what I'm saying in Cantonese to them. It's only then it dawned upon me that my Cantonese is actually a "spicier" version...😂😅

I live in Hong Kong, and same as my Malaysian wife, she growed up in multilanguage environment, simply they combine different languages in one sentence,
KL for sure majority speaks Cantonese Further up is Hakka ..mandarin and hokkien Further down hokkien and mandarin Of coz English everywhere in Malaysia
