Economically

Malaysia has a developed economy and low prices. It ranks high in the world economy. Its national income even far exceeds that of China. On the contrary, the price level is far lower than that of China. Therefore, in The pressure of life in Malaysia will be relatively less than that in China.

Especially in terms of food, food stalls in Malaysia range from a few cents to 4RM, and you can eat enough for 8RM. Bak Kut Teh is generally around 6RM to 9RM, and in better places, 10RM per person is enough. Other snacks are basically between 4RM and 8RM, which is cheaper than roadside stalls in remote places in many big cities in China.

Medical treatment

If you feel unwell occasionally and have minor ailments, you can enjoy the same rights to medical treatment as local people; if you have a serious illness, you can enjoy the protection of medical insurance. How much medical insurance can reimburse depends on how much medical insurance is purchased.

Many international institutions have rated Malaysia’s medical services as the best. For example, the United States’ “International Living” announced the ranking of the world’s best medical countries in 2019, and Malaysia ranked first. In addition, there are as many as 32 medical universities in Malaysia. There are also many medical graduates every year, and they are all selected through strict assessment. In addition, there are returnee medical students from medically developed countries. Malaysia is outstanding in specialties such as paediatrics, oncology, gynecology and cardiology, and provides professional medical services in each specialty.

In terms of education

There are many international primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. The education models mainly include Australian education, British education and American education. Of course, Chinese primary and secondary schools are also indispensable. This can vary according to the applicant. Requirements to choose a school.

If you apply for the Malaysia Second Home Program like me, your children can choose to attend public schools or international schools. If you enroll in a public primary school, your child will need to master English, Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia. If they have little adaptability and learning ability, they will not be able to keep up. As for international schools, they do not need to learn Bahasa Malaysia. In addition, children who take the college entrance examination in China with their second home status can enjoy the treatment of overseas Chinese students and can more easily enter well-known domestic universities.

Climate aspect

Malaysia is located near the equator and has a tropical rainforest climate and tropical monsoon climate. There are no obvious four seasons. The temperature difference during the year changes very little, with the average temperature at 26 The temperature is between -30℃ and there is abundant rainfall throughout the year. The rainy season is from March to June and from October to February of the following year. The average annual temperature in the inland mountainous areas is 22°C~28°C, and in the coastal plains it is 25°C~30°C.

Retirement Paradise

Malaysia is the most livable country in Asia and the most popular country for immigrants. In addition to the pleasant climate and fresh air, the friendly and gentle customs, low cost of living, complete infrastructure, good investment environment and multiculturalism, as well as the internationally high-level education and medical system, etc., all attract many people. Few immigrant investors are setting their sights on this country. Malaysia has been voted the third most ideal retirement country in the world and the first in Asia more than once.

To be honest, I thought it would be difficult to apply for Malaysian immigration. Later, after consulting, I found that the threshold of Malaysia’s second home program is really low. Applicants aged 21-50 only need to deposit MYR 300,000 in AmBank, and can withdraw MYR 150,000 in the second year. After that, they can keep MYR 150,000 in the account. For those over 50, the deposit will be reduced by half.
