Despite its geographical distance from countries such as the UK and US, Malaysia is gradually growing in popularity among expatriates as a second home or retirement location, as well as being home to many expatriate workers from around the world.
Malaysia can offer many advantages to the expat settler. It is a truly multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society where the three main Malaysian races mix widely and extend a genuine welcome to foreigners. English is widely spoken. It is a relatively affluent country, with a buoyant economy and political stability. The standard of living is high, the cost of living relatively low, especially for those with an income from abroad. There is a low crime rate, and personal security is good. Health services are efficient and relatively inexpensive, and education is of a high standard.
Malaysia's climate is tropical, with year-round sunshine - it can be quite hot and humid during the day, but most homes, offices and shopping centres provide respite in the form of air-conditioning.
