KL Expat Malaysia (KLEM) is an initiative of British Expat Stuart Yeomans. He founded KLEM in 2010 and the group and web page have been been growing from strength to strength ever since. This resulting Facebook page helps expats make connections, and hosts a variety of events from simple networking meetups through to charity car drives and sporting events. Their goal is to always help the local community and encourage ties between expats and Malaysian locals.

This Facebook page unites an intriguing collection of expat women working on a charity project combining their enthusiasm for photography with the urge to give something back to the beautiful country they live in.

Sadly one of the bittersweet results of living an expat dream is the end of a chapter, and this Facebook page is a perfect way to keep in contact with friends who have moved to pastures greener. Set up as a base to look for old expat friends that had lived in Malaysia (Malaya) and Singapore (especially ex-planters, miners & forces, etc) members share memories of their former lives and make contact with people who they thought they may never speak with again.

We’re always on the lookout for more accounts to feature – if you write about living in Malaysia on social media, leave us a link in the comments and we’ll take a look!
