I remember in early 2020, during covid-outbreak, my portfolio worth around $300k took a slight fall, apparently due to the pandemic crash, at once I consulted an advisor in order to avoid panic-selling. As of today, my account has yielded big fat yields, and leverages on 7-figure, only cos I delegate my excesses right.

    As a retired US citizen married to a Malaysian, Penang local, I am fortunate enough to have a home already paid off both here in Malaysia and in the US. Thus, my expenses is not a great as most other people coming over to live here. I am able live very well in Malaysia on a US government employee pension. My only expenses I have are for transportation (own a car, but still have to pay for insurance and fuel) , food, medical insurance in the US ( I am military retiree so I still have to maintain my medical Insurance in the US to be able to utilize it) and cost of the utilities for my place in both US and Malaysia. After all of that, I still have plenty of money to spend and travel all over Asia. Note, I still travel back and forth to the US and Malaysia, I normally spend my "Autumns and Winters" here in Malaysia and the rest back in the US. It really possible to live here quite well here in Malaysia on a retirement/pension, you just have to budget accordingly although the cost of living here in Malaysia is much lower than the US as if anyone have noticed inflation is really ramping up back again back there now...

    I'm a Malaysian Chinese, I absolutely agree with this, the living cost really is the key, this is why all the teenagers like me went abroad to study and eventually work there and plan to come back once we have enough savings (the food variety in Malaysia cannot be defeated.), I have friends currently studying their Uni or Working in countries like Singapore (obviously, bcs I'm a Johorean), China, Taiwan, Canada, UK, Australia, etc. Most of us are Software Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Electronic Engineers etc. Yes, Malaysia is a very good place to retire as long as those stupid politician aren't screwing up the country (could be personal bias), apart from them the rest of us are friendly. I'm currently working as a Software Engineer in UK and plan to visit US and maybe stay for a couple years, probably get myself a master's degree, and once all of that is done, I'll probably go to Singapore then eventually back to Johor, my home town.

    It is hard for Andrew to find BBQ pork ribs in Msia firstly because western restaurants here are mostly pork & lard free, and secondly because pig farmers/butchers sold most of their cuts of pork ribs to Bak Kut Teh (BKT) shops. BKT shops sell porks stewed with herbal broth. □ Pork ribs are in very high demand in BKT shops. You can definitely find pork ribs in all, I mean in all BKT shops, and they are all stewed with herbal broth; but not barbecued. □□ However, BBQ and roast porks are easily available in almost all Chinese coffee shops in Msia. Pork is our local Chinese's regular food.

    We accept everyone because Islamic teaching and value taught us to be gentle and respect everyone and because Malaysia is not a secular country, that's why Islam is the official religion and the King (Agong) is the head of the Islam religion in Malaysia as well as the rulers of each state, and we have the Shariah court for the Muslims.

    Malaysian here. My personal opinion, if you bring at least USD300K, living in smaller city like Alor Setar or Ipoh or Kuantan, living in a modest house, only travel regionally for holidays on the cheapest rate, then you'd be set comfortable retirement until you die. Living in Sabah/Sarawak will cost you slightly higher than the Peninsular region.

    There's no compulsion in religion. That is Islam. Muslim can't mock other religions' god, that is Islam. Muslim can't destroy other religion place of worship nor harm their priest, that is Islam. This standard also apply to the non Muslim, it is the religion of fitrah (basic human decency or inclination). All of these are in the Quran and Sunnah.

    With me growing up and being born in the USA the thing I can say is this because I do research about different countries all the time.The reason why Malaysians just like Chinese people have lots of trust for there government is because there government is about getting things done.I can also say even in Thailand and the Philippines all of those countries there government don’t push politics on there citizens either.Y’all don’t see a bunch of things going viral all over the place about the president in the Philippines,Thailand,Malaysia and China 🇨🇳 😅u just don’t about all of these different press conferences and speeches they have unlike here in the 🇺🇸 usa.When those countries say there going to do something they do it simple as that.The usa however it’s the complete opposite they have been talking about doing certain things for many decades now and haven’t made a foot step further of improving nor building.Think about it china,Malaysia has 21st century technology and infrastructure.While here in the USA we still have infrastructure from the 1900’s🤔🤣.I mean wow people it’s easy to see clear as day the western countries are going backwards while the eastern countries are moving forward.
