What are the most rewarding aspects of retiring in Malaysia?
We asked retirees what they find the most rewarding about retiring in Malaysia. They wrote...
"Living in Malaysia in retirement offers the opportunity to enjoy a pleasant and peaceful lifestyle in a beautiful country with a year-round warm climate. The cost of living is much lower compared to many Western countries, which allows retirees to enjoy a comfortable standard of living on a limited budget. There are a variety of outdoor activities and attractions to explore, from beaches and islands to rainforests and mountains. Furthermore, retirees can access excellent healthcare and high-quality medical services. Socializing is also easy and fun due to Malaysia's diverse cultural mix, with a variety of activities such as festivals, markets, and food choices. With its friendly people, interesting culture, and diverse landscape, Malaysia is a great destination for retirement," said another expat in Malaysia.
"Meeting new people with different viewpoints than those from my own country. Seeing new places and cultures. I also have time to write on topics that I had little time to while teaching full-time," wrote a member who made the move to Kuching, Malaysia.
