As a retiree, I want peace and quiet, so more chance of getting that in Penang than KL. When I want more noise (half the year), I can return to my home in San Francisco...

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@vwchan841 sounds like a solid plan!!! 👍😍

We are European expats, living in KLCC in KL. Previously we lived in Bangsar and were looking at the possibility of moving to Penang (Georgetown). But after viewing a lot of condos and bungalows, we still decided to stay in KL. Penang is nice to visit, but for living, KL has so much more to offer as in food, shopping, infrastructure, entertainment, culture and so on. But KL is also way more costly as a result.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@EGO0808 KLCC area is nice! We totally can see the appeal. Yeah there are always pros and cons to a city. What works for one may not work for another. And finally the decider is always the preferences of the person

[@CPoddy]

You forgot weather. I think KL has much cooler weather. 😮

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@CPoddy Bangkok was less humid when we were there. Now it's monsoon season, which KL also has. KL downtown is very smoggy though. Too many buildings and very little greenery.

[@garyt7232]

I would personally prefer Penang since it is not as crowded as KL, but I would entertain other retirement locations such as Ipho or Kuching. Appreciate the vlog.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@garyt7232 yup, Malaysia has many choices so can move around as well

[@terencelee880]

Me too

[@hijazzains]

KL is much bigger and more cosmopolitan than Penang. Other than traffic jam, KL has more options and conveniences. Penang has its unique vibes than KL, island and coastal setting and local food.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@hijazzains yup, great points!!

[@UrimonoIma]

I heard the word 'humble', so I'll choose Penang.

For Asia, I been to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Boracay, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang, Bali, Seoul, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangdong, Taipei so far, do you know which is the best place to retire that I personally think?

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@tonyariel168 we would love to know!! Tell us!

[@tonyariel168]

its Penang! Think the food, people, air and weather are the best balance. It has both nature, lively street food and beautiful urban buildings, malls. Love the dimsum, Penang char kway teow and durians there.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@tonyariel168 yippee!!! Thanks for sharing! 😍

[@aliowl]

Penang has the sea. Albeit not so clean. That's a win win for me

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@aliowl the beaches and sea around Balik Pulau area are pretty good.

[@yougohgoh1]

Apart from comparing every aspect, we need to put a weighted to each and every factor, then you can get the exact result

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@yougohgoh1 well, the answer really depends on the individual. We personally do not like KL and will never move there to live. KL for us is ok for a visit but not to live in.

[@yougohgoh1]

@@corporatebreakoutcouple FYI many foreigners and even Malaysian don’t really understand “KL”, for outsider, many relate KL to area around KLCC, but in actual fact, we refer KL as a region which is within a radius of 40km from KLCC, which is called Klang Valley. Kalng Valley is about 10 times larger than Penang Island. The area which is 5km within KLCC only portrays 20% of the city, and in reality we prefers to stay at the 80%. many foreigners are actually staying far from KLCC area which is also called KL. It is a lot easier to understand Penang than Klang Valley, I live on Penang for 20 years and KV for 30 years, until you really explore KV well, it is too early to judge.

I am looking to move to Malaysia (MM2H), which place has affordable universities for studying medicine? Please advice, or a video. My kids will be starting university in 1 year.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@dooziejohn6165 best to seek the advice of the authorised MM2H agents on this. They would be the best people to advise on what your family requires

[@dooziejohn6165]

@@corporatebreakoutcouple Thank you.

[@abdirashiddirie3522]

The biggest problem in Malaysia is air pollution and all the time, too many cars on the road and congestion everywhere.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@abdirashiddirie3522 air pollution is not an issue in Penang. KL definitely. The smog and bad air quality

[@yayadxbdoh]

What are best visa options for Europeans 50y old with children to retire early in Malaysia ?

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

You can consider the MM2H - Malaysia My 2nd Home visa You can also consider Sarawak MM2H as well. We have covered extensively on both visas on our channel. Feel free to check them out!

[@cac1504]

I think SJKC is better than international school because I cannot afford the latter. 😅

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

[@habibahjaffar4387]

Obviously KL is way much better!

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@habibahjaffar4387 cool!

[@beatericdoenni354]

I find your videos very informative and good. But I would like to give you a tip: please try not to present the information so quickly and nervously. The video can be 20 to 25% longer with the same content.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@beatericdoenni354 thank you for watching our videos. We try not to make too long videos as people's attention span is getting shorter and shorter these days

[@beatericdoenni354]

Talk is silver. Silence is gold. Because meaningful pauses make your audience think. Used correctly, a pause can be a rhetorical miracle cure. It also gives your audience time to process what you've said and makes it easier for them to follow you in the next part of your speech. I hope you now understand what I mean. Of course, it's good if a presentation isn't too long, but...

Kelantan and Trengganu is better. Laid back lifestyle food and ccomodation are cheaper. Crime rate is the lowest in the country. So many things to explore here.

[@corporatebreakoutcouple]

@@AminCorea we created a video on Kelantan & Terengganu pretty recently. Do check it out!
