My $900 Rental in English-Speaking Asia - Expat Living in Malaysia

Did you know there's a tropical island in Southeast Asia where the locals speak English, and you can live in luxury for less than $2,000 a month?
It's a place where people of many cultures live together in harmony. Where British, Indian, and Chinese influences blend with the local culture to create something new and unique.
This is Penang, in Malaysia.
IL's Malaysia Correspondent Keith Hockton has been living here since early 2010.

    "You have a great face for a radio" 😂 that was clever plot twist but I have to admit that you have a great calming voice for a radio host and certainly podcast.

    Love Penang! We like to winter in Malaysia. Was just there a couple weeks ago. Funny that you featured a few hotels that we stayed at over the years. Campbell House, E&O, etc. This time we spent our time in 3 hotels to live in different areas. Eastin in Queensbay, JEN by the Komtar tower, and Courtyard closer to Gurney. I want to retire in Malaysia, but the wife won't live outside the US.😢

    Well done video - looks like I will need to visit this place. In less than a month I'll be in KL for about a week, my very first visit to Malaysia. Super excited, its been on the bucket list for a while. I get the feeling I'll be making a return trip (hopefully sooner than later). Cheers from the US 👍

    I must say that's a pretty good introduction to Georgetown in Penang. As a Malaysian, I can see how this will entice more visitors to come.

    I was there in January and I thought that the Infinity condo building looked really nice, on the beach and on the bus line. I prefer it to KL.
