Living in Malaysia 🇲🇾 - Renting an apartment or house in Malaysia🏡

[@josephmanzuni8593]

Do check out Subang Jaya as well. I lived there when I was in Malaysia and it has good public transportation and subway system to Kuala Lumpur. Also the city has plenty of International universities and schools for kids.

[@makethemove101]

Hi, thank you for taking the time to comment and suggestions! Luckily you don't need to live in the city center if there is good public transportation. Have a good day! Matt and Monico

[@fitnessboy2024]

Is there affordable international schools for kids? Checked MKIS and its not cheap especially if you got 2 kids

[@Tanxiachen]

You need to know that Malaysia is the richest country in Southeast Asia.. and did you know... the tallest tower in the world is in Malaysia...

[@babibrain]

Malaysia is incredible. Most importantly Malaysian are very welcoming foreigners who live and call it their home.

[@makethemove101]

Hi, thank you for commenting. Totally agree. We can imagine it will be a popular country to settle and for those who are living there already will call it home soon enough. Cheers, Matt and Monico

[@smashinglabu3942]

Check out Sentul area, in the middle of KL City, nearby public transport, most of the unit is quite cheap, most important, Sentul is food of heaven..

[@makethemove101]

Hi, thank you for watching our video and leaving a valuable tip. We will definitely look into it...and yes, good food makes life even better ☺ Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

If you dont mind staying in the suburban area in the greater KL region, it is much cheaper and family friendly

[@makethemove101]

Hi thank you for watching our video and taking the time to leave a comment! Yes, we wouldn’t mind considering public transportation is pretty good in kl. So living further away wouldn’t be that inconvenient. Cheers! Matt and Monico

Do not live in kl as it is expensive. I suggest petaling jaya which is next door to kl. Expats like kiara and bangsar.

Great info. In the future would you please touch on the health insurance options for expats. Thank you

[@makethemove101]

Thank you for your watching our video and your positive feedback. Good suggestion, we might do a video on health insurance since this is an important aspect when moving abroad. Cheers, Matt and Monico

[@EGO0808]

Very well done, well explained and a lot of variety of choices, in waht you’re showing. By the way, when you stated you liked the older houses, as they have ‘character’, that made me laugh and confirmed you both being Dutch. Here in Asia we tend to prefer as new as it gets. 😂

[@makethemove101]

Hi thank you for your comment. Happy to hear that you liked the video. It’s so funny you pointed out the difference in preferences. So very true! Luckily you can find both types of housing in Malaysia. Have a good day! Matt and Monico

Hopefully this will answer your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CnZWOJYqh9jrM As for health insurance, you will need to get an international insurance. This website explains is pretty well expatfinancial.com/international-health-insurance/ Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

[@ota924]

I’m thinking to move there soon. I’m agreed to rent first

[@makethemove101]

Yes, renting is the best option if you are still figuring out where exactly you want to live plus if you are new to the country, then you don't have to figure all the maintenance and tax stuff out immediately. But in the case for Malaysia or any other country it is the question if it wise to buy property. To know the country better, living there while renting a place is better to figure it out. Good luck when moving to Malaysia! Matt and Monico

They come with in-unit washer and dryer?

Hi, it depends. If it is fully furnished then it is very likely their is a washer. Not sure about a dryer. You have to read the description of the unit carefully. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

If I am living as a permanent resident of Maylaysia, must I pay taxes on my US pension and Social Security income to Maylaysia?

[@makethemove101]

Hi thanks for watching our video. We are not entirely sure and to avoid giving you the wrong answer, it is best to check out expat Malaysia forums or facebook pages. You will meet a lot of people who are in the similar situation as yours. Sorry we couldn't be of much help. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

[@frankkluz9787]

OMG - - - talk about expensive ! ? ! ? ! --- For S E Asia ( ? ) they're trying to catch up to Singapore !!! Can't believe how high priced those are. > No savings over 2/3 of the US ??!!?? --- Thailand Cambodia Vietnam & the Philippines offers much more for the money. --- Unless your coming from NYC LA SF or Seattle - these offer no significant savings or economic incentives ? = I'm shocked.

[@makethemove101]

Hi, thank you for your comment. Yes housing can be expensive, but there are cheaper options of course depending on the location and the size of the house/apartment. That said, eventually we believe you choose the country first not based on what is cheaper. Unless you wish to live in the other asian countries as well, which we can imagine since Vietnam and the Philippines have been suggested by many as well. Have a good day! Matt and Monico

excuse me.. why would anybody listen you when you can't even get the currency of the country correct.. to call Malaysia ringgit rupee's is a bit insulting..

Hi thank you so much for taking the time to comment. We accidentally said rupiah instead of ringgit once again, right? Or did you notice it more than once. We apologise, we of course have no intention to offend anybody. We will take more care next time, didn’t realise it would be insulting. Have a good day! Matt and Monico
