Do check out Subang Jaya as well. I lived there when I was in Malaysia and it has good public transportation and subway system to Kuala Lumpur. Also the city has plenty of International universities and schools for kids.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to comment and suggestions! Luckily you don't need to live in the city center if there is good public transportation. Have a good day! Matt and Monico
Hi, thank you for watching our video and leaving a valuable tip. We will definitely look into it...and yes, good food makes life even better ☺ Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico
Hi, thank you for commenting. Totally agree. We can imagine it will be a popular country to settle and for those who are living there already will call it home soon enough. Cheers, Matt and Monico
Hi, it depends. If it is fully furnished then it is very likely their is a washer. Not sure about a dryer. You have to read the description of the unit carefully. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico
Thank you for your watching our video and your positive feedback. Good suggestion, we might do a video on health insurance since this is an important aspect when moving abroad. Cheers, Matt and Monico
OMG - - - talk about expensive ! ? ! ? ! --- For S E Asia ( ? ) they're trying to catch up to Singapore !!! Can't believe how high priced those are. > No savings over 2/3 of the US ??!!?? --- Thailand Cambodia Vietnam & the Philippines offers much more for the money. --- Unless your coming from NYC LA SF or Seattle - these offer no significant savings or economic incentives ? = I'm shocked.
Hi, thank you for your comment. Yes housing can be expensive, but there are cheaper options of course depending on the location and the size of the house/apartment. That said, eventually we believe you choose the country first not based on what is cheaper. Unless you wish to live in the other asian countries as well, which we can imagine since Vietnam and the Philippines have been suggested by many as well. Have a good day! Matt and Monico
Hi thank you for watching our video and taking the time to leave a comment! Yes, we wouldn’t mind considering public transportation is pretty good in kl. So living further away wouldn’t be that inconvenient. Cheers! Matt and Monico
Thank you for watching our video and for taking the time to comment! We hope to look as we do when we are 50, but we are and look 40 plus 😊 Monico lived in Malaysia in the 80's, from 1983 to 1987...Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico
Hi, thank you for watching our video and commenting. We mainly looked at large apartments/houses including furnitures. There is luckily a diverse range of rental prices, so enough choice for everybody. Cheers! Matt and Monico
Hi thanks for watching our video. We are not entirely sure and to avoid giving you the wrong answer, it is best to check out expat Malaysia forums or facebook pages.

Hi thanks for going to the comments with your question. We did an video on Visa for Malaysia where we listed the possibilities. ruclips.net/video/a_D40S-CJXQ/видео.html Hope it will help. Cheers, Matt and Monico
Yes, renting is the best option if you are still figuring out where exactly you want to live plus if you are new to the country, then you don't have to figure all the maintenance and tax stuff out immediately. But in the case for Malaysia or any other country it is the question if it wise to buy property. To know the country better, living there while renting a place is better to figure it out. Good luck when moving to Malaysia! Matt and Monico
Hi! Kuching is still on our list as option to move to. It's on of our favorites when it comes to moving to Malaysia. Are you considering kuching as well? Cheers, Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 Selemat Pagi, senang sekali Kuching, great people, culture, delicious food, walkable town, wildlife, plants, water & more. Don't know about educational opportunities/schools.🐒
Hi! Thank you for watching and leaving a positive comment. We are happy to hear you liked our video. Good luck on finding your place in KL! Matt and Monico
Hi we are still searching for options to move to. Lombok is still very high on our list and would probably be the place for us if we would choose to move to Indonesia. Are you considering Indonesia? Thanks for watching our video. Matt and Monico
Very well done, well explained and a lot of variety of choices, in waht you’re showing. By the way, when you stated you liked the older houses, as they have ‘character’, that made me laugh and confirmed you both being Dutch. Here in Asia we tend to prefer as new as it gets. 😂
Hi thank you for your comment. Happy to hear that you liked the video. It’s so funny you pointed out the difference in preferences. So very true! Luckily you can find both types of housing in Malaysia. Have a good day! Matt and Monico
Ipoh, Perak a good place to stay. Not exciting expensive like capital cities like KL, Penang, Johor. But most steady town to Long Term Living. Great Cheap Food (Food Security), Cheap House (Buy & Rent), No Traffic, Anything you want conveniently available, Safety, Nature (Hill Climb, Lakes, River...), Clubs (Low memberships), Very good weather, Awesome all you can eat buffet...... You get free living cost depositing an Endowment Fund for entire family planning. 4% (25x) the living cost. Public Facilities: Cheap local fees: Swimming, Squash, Golf, Badminton, Gym. A quiet town without financial and no stress living.
Hi, thank you for your additional information on Ipoh. We heard it is a wonderful place to stay and more people are acknowledging it! Cheers, Matt and Monico
Hi! Thanks for your comment. We will be uploading a new video this week. The holidays and a heavy flu has caused some delay! Have a good day! Matt and Monico
excuse me.. why would anybody listen you when you can't even get the currency of the country correct.. to call Malaysia ringgit rupee's is a bit insulting..
Hi thank you so much for taking the time to comment. We accidentally said rupiah instead of ringgit once again, right? Or did you notice it more than once. We apologise, we of course have no intention to offend anybody. We will take more care next time, didn’t realise it would be insulting. Have a good day! Matt and Monico

Is there affordable international schools for kids? Checked MKIS and its not cheap especially if you got 2 kids
You need to know that Malaysia is the richest country in Southeast Asia..
and did you know... the tallest tower in the world is in Malaysia...
If I move to Malaysia, it's your guy's fault! ❤🎉😂
Nice presentation!!! 👍👍👍
🤣 thank you for your wonderful comment! We don't you will regret if you would go! Cheers, Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 hopefully, next year! 😊
@@abelpavel9674 that's exciting! All the best with your preparations and move!
Check out Sentul area, in the middle of KL City, nearby public transport, most of the unit is quite cheap, most important, Sentul is food of heaven..
Hi, thank you for watching our video and leaving a valuable tip. We will definitely look into it...and yes, good food makes life even better ☺ Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico
Do not live in kl as it is expensive. I suggest petaling jaya which is next door to kl. Expats like kiara and bangsar.
Hi thank you for your comment! Any suggestions and ideas are welcome. Have a good day! Matt and Monico
Malaysia is incredible. Most importantly Malaysian are very welcoming foreigners who live and call it their home.
Hi, thank you for commenting. Totally agree. We can imagine it will be a popular country to settle and for those who are living there already will call it home soon enough. Cheers, Matt and Monico
They come with in-unit washer and dryer?
