Not to mention Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is indeed a country with a very high cost performance ratio for living and working. Chinese is almost fluent in Malaysia, and there are a large number of Chinese families taking their children to school in both Kuala Lumpur and Penang. In terms of international schools, I personally believe that the level of education in Malaysia is higher than that in Thailand and Vietnam. In terms of living costs, let's put it this way. Many Singaporeans drive or take buses to Johor Bahru every week to eat. During the Chinese New Year, many Singaporean friends choose to celebrate in Johor Bahru. Many of the people who buy houses in Johor Bahru are Singaporeans. It feels like the relationship between Johor Bahru and Singapore is like the relationship between Kunshan and Shanghai, Yanjiao and Beijing. Last year, I suggested that many of my friends around me go to Vietnam. Of course, I still think Vietnam would be better for entrepreneurship (in the cryptocurrency field). However, if it comes to living, Malaysia has a very high cost performance ratio. Those with abundant funds can stay in Kuala Lumpur, those who want to save can stay in Penang, and those who want to travel frequently to Singapore can stay in Johor Bahru. If you want to live by the sea, you can go to Malacca. Don't worry about the food and fruits in Southeast Asia. Both Malaysia and Singapore have a large number of Chinese people, a large number of Chinese restaurants, and a lot of barbecue. Walking in the main cities of Malaysia is not much different from within China. Cars, gas, taxis, accommodation, and labor in Malaysia are very cheap. There is nothing to say about durian in Malaysia. If you are a durian enthusiast, you can directly go to the mountains to pick it. The taste and freshness of buying durian from the mountains are very good. It can be said that 90% of Malaysians can eat it in China, and the price is not expensive. Malaysia also has its own unique Peranakan cuisine, and there are many Indian and Pakistani friends in Malaysia, so Indian cuisine can be seen everywhere in Malaysia, especially when you see people squatting on the ground eating, most of whom are Pakistani migrant workers. Malaysia is also good in terms of medical care. After purchasing insurance, you can go directly to international or private hospitals. The cost of physical examinations is very cheap, and many Singaporean friends will specifically go to Malaysia for physical examinations. I roughly calculated that for a family of three, they can live comfortably in Kuala Lumpur for $6000 a month. They can live in an apartment in KLCC, hire a maid, and their children can attend school without any problems. To save a bit, they don't need to live in the city center for $4000 or hire anyone. If you live in Penang, the cost can be even lower, just 3000 US dollars can cover ordinary life, but in Johor Bahru, I heard that prices are higher than in Kuala Lumpur. The cost-effectiveness of Malaysia is really good. Of course, there are also some issues with Malaysia. Malaysia is not an immigration country, and it is very difficult to become a Malay citizen. The second home also has time limits, and the second home is often modified, which may even affect previous applicants. In addition, the security in Malaysia is relatively poor, so it is best not to go out at night when it is quiet. Malay people have a strong religious consciousness and need to be careful not to violate taboos. There's nothing else to worry about But the flaws do not overshadow the virtues. If anyone wants to consider living in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is indeed a very cost-effective place, mainly for those who are not good at English, they can hardly feel the language barrier in Malaysia. I think this is something that neither Thailand nor Vietnam can compare to. I won't say much about Singapore, but Malaysia is indeed a good choice. Many people used to spend the winter in Sanya, so if they have the opportunity, they can consider spending the winter in Malaysia. The price difference is not significant, and the living comfort will be improved.
