As a Malaysian living in Australia, I miss Malaysia so much-the friendly environment, the vibes. I couldn’t agree more with most of the comments here.

Malaysia is a diversity and laid back country.. It's an under-rated country with decent people and beautiful country.. Almost everything you can find here.. Malaysia is truly Asia 🇲🇾👍
I miss the vibe-the laid-back, family-friendly, cozy atmosphere. The food, nature, and people made my childhood amazing. I’m sure it’s changed a lot since then... We lived in Langkawi, Putra Jaya, and Kuala Lumpur. I hope to move back one day.
This video is really eye-opening! I had no idea Malaysia was such a cheap place to retire. The culture and lifestyle seem amazing! I’m definitely considering it for my future plans. Has anyone here been? What was your experience like? 🌏💰
Lepak culture in Malaysia really helps relieve stress from work and the challenges of life. It’s not about clubbing, but more about hanging out at mamak stalls, cafes, beaches, and shopping malls.
"Wow, this video is such an eye opener! I remember visiting Malaysia and being impressed by the local food markets. I tried nasi lemak for the first time and it was like a blast. It was a blast. The video really shows the interesting surprises of Malaysia.
The MM2H renewable visa is 5 years now. No more 10 as it was before. I had my first MM2H visa in 2013 for 10 years and renewed it last year for 5 more, not 10. But that's ok for us. We will stay as long as Malaysia allows us to stay. I worked in Malaysia before for 11 years. So I knew what to expect when we decided to retire in this country.
@@stevet5549 Yes, it was much easier. Only 150 000 Ringgit deposit or +/- 33 KUS$ currently, no obligation to buy house or apartment and the proof of having at least a monthly income of 10 KRinggits +/- 2.3KUS$. That’s it. With new rules, I wouldn’t be in Malaysia for sure.
As long as you have the required monthly income and are over 50 years old is that all you need to get a five year visa? I had heard that you also have to put a sum of money in the bank or buy a home or condo, is that also correct?
Why do people travel to other countries and insist on only hanging out with other foreigners? In every country I’ve lived in, I’ve only made friends with the locals.
Don't get sensationalized by the title. Malaysians don't love foreigners. Malaysians are hospitable and accepting of outsiders due to the dynamics and kindness of it's culture. But if you think you can be disrespectful and condescending towards the Malaysian people then you'd be badly mistaken. Because Malaysians do not tolerate bad behavior like it's neighbours do.
Agreed 💯 the title of this video is misleading. We Malaysian don't love foreigners but we are laid back n more accepting to outsiders as long as they respectful, respecting our value n cultures.
Not all Malaysia. Autonomy East Malaysian are totally different. More multi culture oriented lovely to foreigners. Northern part of West Malaysia I can't recommend even I am as Malaysian avoid that place.
We don't care much about tourists only our government is crazy about it. In Jerantut where I am staying, we have thousands of tourists flocking to our National Park. The impact is minimal for us. We don't see much either. Then this tourists started to think that they can do anything here. Those MHM started interfering with our Religion, Belief and way of life. Same as those tourists.
That’s an insightful take on Malaysia’s culture! Your comment highlights an important aspect of respect when living abroad. A good travel documentary would capture not only the beauty but also the depth of such cultural dynamics. Have you watched any that showcase this balance between being a guest and showing respect to locals?
for those cr4zy for m0ney, may go to Singapore. if want live in enjoy for everything, go to Thailand.. but when enough for all, its time for great family life, relax retirement, welcome to Malaysia. Edu Tourism, Medic Tourism already great business in Malaysia..
@@NgBertiku forget something,in the first place History of Malaysia, the kings & peoples, this country absolutely a muslim country until now and forever...
You’re absolutely right! As a Malaysian, were more laid-back, relaxed, and chill. Everything feels average, and I really appreciate that. Theres no crazy nightlife, which means its more peaceful and calm. I’m sure our country is safer compared to our neighboring countries-more wild nights often mean more crime and chaos.
I have had a desire to live abroad and have been examining Thailand and the Philippines extensively. However, I came across this video about Malaysia and my eyes have been opened to the possibilities and beauty there. I must look into this a lot more. I am a writer/author and wish to live in an environment where my spirit would be given to peace, beauty and a place less politically volatile, to be sure. Thank you for presenting this video. Blessings…..
I agree but there is 1 big problem = VISA ! the MM2H conditions in the video are wrong !!! please check, last change in June 2024, very hard to obtain ... 🤑🙁
Autonomy East Malaysia different migration rule. Now they build affordable housing estate to the foreigner who wish to make a second home or retired. Standard education and health care with multi religious facilities but not in West Malaysia.
Thanks for sharing your insight! It’s true, the VISA process in Malaysia can be tricky, especially with the MM2H changes in June 2024. In a travel documentary like this, getting the facts right is crucial for anyone planning to retire there. What are your thoughts on how this impacts long-term plans?
I have looked at dozens of websites and can't find any that provide the information you have in your video regarding the MM2H visa. It's not even close to the same financial requirements that you state. Can you please reply with a link to where you found the information? I will say, that like in most cases, every website has different information. They're literally all over the board, but none as friendly as the information that you provide. I look forward to getting the link to your source. Thanks!
Great video! It's always refreshing to see content that shines a light on unique retirement destinations. But here's a tough question: Is Malaysia really the cheapest country in the world to retire, or are there hidden costs and lifestyle compromises that aren't immediately obvious? I'm curious-does this travel documentary reveal all the nuances, or is there more beneath the surface when it comes to retiring in Malaysia?
@@discoverglobeliving Why not... I'm sure most Malaysians especially the naturally friendly malays welcome our honored expatriates guests... Isn't it proven by the facts that our fellow Chinese n indian colleagues were welcome yrs ago... And today we live together harmoniously??🎉😅
That is why we needed to prevent more MHM since it's slowly bleeding us locally. Higher housing price since foreigners can buy it. For them it's dirt cheap for us it's expensive. Our current food price is high due to at least 5 to 7 millions foreigners which creates huge demands more than what we can produce. Hence for tourists our price is cheap which bleeds us more. We can't control price hike via hartal or boycott since foreigners keep buying it. That is why housing and food price increase since we have millions tourists whom spend money without thinking about local people.
It's so interesting to hear the different perspectives on living in Malaysia. While it’s super affordable for retirees from abroad, it sounds like locals face real challenges. Makes me wonder how much of that we capture when making a travel documentary. What do you think should be highlighted more in stories about life in Malaysia?
2 Major questions I have. 1 - Tax situation, income tax or capital gains tax for foreign earned money. 2 - Long term visa or residency situation for EU passport holder. (answered)
*Welcome to Malaysia truly Asia good food, people beautiful beach, skyscrapers & others, Msian likes to lepak Mamak drink Teh Tarik Jom joining Malaysian 🇲🇾💙🧡♥️💙🇲🇾*
As malaysian...the topic is misleading😂😂😂😂😂 We not LOVEA...We just treat all of human with respect..in return you giys also respect us or we will show how our dark side to people disrespect towards us
It's not 5 times. It's RM$4.45 times vs US$1. You don't need insurance in Malaysia. Maybe a Health Card. You need Endowment Pension Fund at bank interest 3%FD (33.3333333334 or 33.34 times your living cost 12 months (1 year). Min US$800,000 onwards. US$1.5 m will be ideal (can travel all over Malaysia)
You have to be an millionaire in USD in order to live in Malaysia long-term?? Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of living somewhere with a great cost of living? Most people looking for low cost of living to retire don't have 1 million USD.
I can say thousands of Malaysian graduates are from the USA. We, Malaysians, love the USA. We love the Hollywood movies. We love the USA citizens. Malaysians are rational people. Although the USA is the most hated nation on earth because of its EVIL foreign policy towards Palestine which we think so barbaric and very very UNFAIR, but we love the USA citizens. We, Malaysians know that only the BAD POLITICIANS or the so-called Zionist-Globalists are evils, but majority of the USA citizens are peace-loving people. We hope the Americans know that we love them.
As American I can tell you that the American people have never had control of the US government. It is always under control of the British empire, even though people do not know this at all and fall for the lies and tricks. Americans do not hate Palestinians, we feel very bad that Israel is treating them so badly, and we are sorry that our government is aligned with Israel. We do not want war with anyone, but our government forces us military to engage war for profit of munitions corporations. We are peaceful people for the most part, everyone wants to raise and feed their children, same as everyone in the world. We hate our government more than everyone else.
I am looking at Thailand. The Islamic government in Malaysia and the antagonism between Chinese and Malay are difficult, add in Indians as well. The take over of Nigerians and west Africans and scams are a real issue. I’ve lived in Singapore and Malaysia as well. Thailand is much more interesting and welcoming.
Yeah.. Malaysians are also looking to visit toThailand too.. imagine this; you're 60's but 20's sexy short skirt Thai lady called you 'darling' in front of your wife!.. what a heaven!!
We malaysians contend with our people and country actually..too many foreigners in malaysia will push up the price of homes and rent..and that is not ok for the future..
I noticed a huge mistake ! Rent a beach house in California for $3,000 a month 😂. Yes maybe 60 or 70 years ago . You must have looked up a daily rental . I seriously doubt you could find a beach house for $3,000 a week . If you could it would be an extremely good deal . 😂 You really have me laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair 🪑. Lol hahaha jajajaja. Wow seriously that's like the price from 1965 . I would rent it in a heartbeat if it was only $3,000 a month😂😂😂😂😂. What a spectacular deal I'm packing my bags tonight. What is the address of this place in California 😂.
Yes, honestly that made me question all the stats in the video as that price is incredibly inaccurate! You summed it up well! 1965 price if you're lucky! You can barely get a dumpy studio apartment nowhere near the beach in Los Angeles for 3000 a month now.
@@David-y6y9j I have no problem with the food. Not sure where you have been in the Philippines but I have been to places that infrastructure is very close to the west
@@brianbaxter3913 if you're in the cities and can eat at American restaurants that great but expensive . It's a well-known fact that Philippines food in general is one of the worst there is.

Pada saya jika mereka muslim, tak mengapa juga. Kalau tidak, saya risau akan mendatangkan banyak kes maksiat. Sebab itu kita hanya alu alukan mereka untuk bersara disini. Lagipun perkhidmatan kesihatan Malaysia antara yang terbaik dan murah.
Sy org Malaysia tidak suka dgn ramainya warga asing terutama dr Asia Tengah spt Pakistan, Bangladesh, India n so on ..mereka tidak hormat budaya disini.. tinggal disini buat mcm negara sendiri.. tidak takut undang2 Malaysia .masuk secara haram n tinggal lebih masa..pengotor n selekeh.. please keluar dr Malaysia byk lg negara lain seperti indonesia kamu boleh pergi...
They need to change their Malaysia my second home ! They have made it expensive . Having to buy property not being able to sell it for 10 yrs . While you are not granted permission stay for 10 yrs . Yes many things are true but the Government has change it to make it extremely difficult and expensive. Working it out it better not too ! Bring back the old visa !!
Malaysia is very selective in allowing long term residence to foreigners. The locals alway wishes Malaysia to be under-rated as they fear the perils of overtourism. Most Malaysians are conservative , well educated, religious, cultured , family oriented , have worldview and law abiding. Disrespecting foreigners are scorned at.😊
@@David-y6y9j but the problem of selling their property solved... After 15 years, they can request for a real PR ( Not MM2H PR ) or a citizenship ( normally will considered by the government after 30 years of staying ). It's hard but surely can be done. My aunt is a Singaporean malay married with my uncle ( Malaysian ) n only granted her citizenship in 2000 after her daughter reached age 30 yo.
Please stop making videos about the great Malaysian life. 1. It's not needed. 2. It's already hugely flooded by applicants from South Asia and the dark continent.
And Since this is being trumpeted all over the internet, prices are going to skyrocket with all kind of fat American's driving up the prices. Bad plan.
Have you ever considered retiring in Malaysia, or is there another country on your mind?"

The cost of living you describe at the begining are already over what I spend in the Philippines including rent.
Yeah, but the Philippines has crappy food and not very good infrastructure🙄
@@David-y6y9j I have no problem with the food. Not sure where you have been in the Philippines but I have been to places that infrastructure is very close to the west
@@brianbaxter3913 if you're in the cities and can eat at American restaurants that great but expensive . It's a well-known fact that Philippines food in general is one of the worst there is.
@@David-y6y9j Like I said I have no problem with the food here. Also I know how to cook so I can make my own food. I have found some places that have very reasonable prices for western style food.
Where you live in Phil @@brianbaxter3913
❤ MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 ❤
Those prices you posted up front are nowhere near 5 times cheaper than the states. lol... come on you can do better.
Your numbers are DECEPTIVELY LOW !! Upgrade your AI bot narrator. It doesn't pronounce words very well.
I've been there Beautiful country yes it is cheap, But I don't like living under the Thumb of Islam , No thank you
Thanks you, you are also not welcomed.
Those with mental problems are not welcome to come.
AI slop, anyway, 0:15 even though Malaysian are very accommodating about English communication, please try to learn some Malay if u are planning to live here.
My country
Cheapest....craziness
🇲🇾🇲🇾
The temperature is to hot
How not? More than 90 degrees high
Still less fatality rate due to heat wave compared to some countries
cameron highlands , genting highlands 16°c - 23°c
@@sonofpharaoh9716 whats that in farenhaitd?
Not as hot as Southern Thailand, especially Phuket.
terlalu ramai pendatang asing berhijrah,Malaysia sudah jadi seperti amerika.
This will also bring many advantages and challenges
@@discoverglobeliving and more disadvantages
bcoz almost illegal immigrants come from poor countries and bring bad culture
Portuguese women
Dont forget the oppressive humid weather, and the Monarchy! Don't bad talk the Royals or you may end up in jail.
You’re mistaking Malaysia for Thailand.
Tell me about Vietnam please?
Saya orang malaysia tidak suka orang luar suka tinggal dimalaysia..pergilah indo.thai tiada masalah pada kami dimalaysia..
Pada saya jika mereka muslim, tak mengapa juga. Kalau tidak, saya risau akan mendatangkan banyak kes maksiat. Sebab itu kita hanya alu alukan mereka untuk bersara disini. Lagipun perkhidmatan kesihatan Malaysia antara yang terbaik dan murah.
Sy org Malaysia tidak suka dgn ramainya warga asing terutama dr Asia Tengah spt Pakistan, Bangladesh, India n so on ..mereka tidak hormat budaya disini.. tinggal disini buat mcm negara sendiri.. tidak takut undang2 Malaysia .masuk secara haram n tinggal lebih masa..pengotor n selekeh.. please keluar dr Malaysia byk lg negara lain seperti indonesia kamu boleh pergi...
Woi, this is New Colonization. Remember when Portuguese come to Malaya. ???😂😂😂😂
Cambodia is cheaper
BS Thailand is much cheaper.
Indeed..as malaysian i agree..
no longer after the new mm2h rules. thailand has better street food
Thai food is definately cheaper, and very spicy, sour, sweet and salty more for it's local taste. Malaysia cuisine more variaties .
What about Myanmar?
Your thumbnails are epic!😅
I am single and a Malaysian man. Who wants to marry me and get free citizenship?😅😊
haha...
leave your email, pls im pretty sure you will receive emails from some gorgeous nigerian or rwandan chicks soon 🎉👍
oii.. untunglah haha
I recommend you Vietnam lady.. very hardworking and honest.. beautiful too!!
I'm Malaysian and I welcome you with roti canai and teh tarik. A good combination for obesity and a big belly..
Incorrect MM2H information.
👌
Do they sell Beer
yes of course.
Learn to properly pronounce names. Is this a lame AI?
They need to change their Malaysia my second home ! They have made it expensive . Having to buy property not being able to sell it for 10 yrs . While you are not granted permission stay for 10 yrs . Yes many things are true but the Government has change it to make it extremely difficult and expensive. Working it out it better not too ! Bring back the old visa !!
Malaysia is very selective in allowing long term residence to foreigners. The locals alway wishes Malaysia to be under-rated as they fear the perils of overtourism. Most Malaysians are conservative , well educated, religious, cultured , family oriented , have worldview and law abiding. Disrespecting foreigners are scorned at.😊
USD 1 M may give you a 15 years permanent resident status... The issues of not being to sell your property solved...
@@enchesoyaregaliaatriadelig5951 15 years is not permanent🙄
@@David-y6y9j but the problem of selling their property solved... After 15 years, they can request for a real PR ( Not MM2H PR ) or a citizenship ( normally will considered by the government after 30 years of staying ). It's hard but surely can be done.
My aunt is a Singaporean malay married with my uncle ( Malaysian ) n only granted her citizenship in 2000 after her daughter reached age 30 yo.
go to he'll foreigners..buat menyemak je kat sini..still prefer 70an living
Absolutely not a cheap country....
Please stop making videos about the great Malaysian life.
1. It's not needed.
2. It's already hugely flooded by applicants from South Asia and the dark continent.
This is absolutely Joke🤣
And Since this is being trumpeted all over the internet, prices are going to skyrocket with all kind of fat American's driving up the prices. Bad plan.
The new MM2 VISA has changed everything. Malaysia is no longer a good expat location for most.
Malaysia is ranked 2nd most racist country in the world and also gays are whipped n jailed.
Yes, so go somewhere else ....
It's true..Malaysia is the most racist in the world.Despite ranking number 2 we still haven't received any gifts.
Malaysia is a good country to retire but it is not the cheapest !! CHEAPEST is A WHITE LIE !
Should be "affordable" & able to live luxuriously for Westerners.
Cheap country is Vietnam 🇻🇳
@@fhidosa2538 Affordable, right! Cheapest _ a lie!
@@noerodriguez9047 Not only Vietnam Laos , Cambodia , Nepal etc
There is no comparision
Islam. No thanks.
