My experience working in petronas twin towers since the past 10 yrs is that the air got polluted when there were forest fires from indonesia during their burning season.
the area known as the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur has 1.8 million inhabitant.. but the Kelang valley which Kuala Lumpur is part off has 9 million inhabitant.. the Kelang Valley is a huge conurbation..
Great video with lots of good information. The wife and I are planning to move to KL in about 4 years. I know the MM2H visa is on hold right now while they revamp it. Hopefully it will come back about the same or even better.
No need to retire in KL...we have enough foreigner here...white people...tanned people..chinese people...japan people...even some latino also choosing to retire here...better retire in other parts of Malaysia like Ipoh , Taiping, Beaufort, Miri, Georgetown, Seremban, Kuala Terengganu...
i wish my grandfather were to choose to malaysia as our homeland when singapore and malaysia went into separation back in 1965. singapore has no life at all. practically work till death and pay the blood sucking government back. to much of unhappiness to list down.
Panang & Melaka are the famous BABA NYONYA sub culture (inter marriage between Chinese merchant +local Malay female during the 1800s), with it's irresistible cuisine, you got great taste :) Those full time rich house wife spend all day perfecting their recipes since then.
Hubby and I have been talking about leaving the US and plan to make an exploratory trip to Penang for possible retirement. I’ve been to KL once but hubby has never been to Malaysia so I hope we love the country.
Yes, it's a great country, I'm sure your hubby will like it, especially Penang. Here is my Penang vlog, if interested as well. Penang th-cam.com/video/qcQOy7SEAyI/w-d-xo.html
Went to Penang the local Chinese ( some mixed Portuguese) were extremely nice and welcoming paid 40 cents CND for a big dish of chicken fried rice. Dimsum was about %10 the cost of Canada !
the public toilet is Asian's standard, the constant water is not bad since it means that the floor is constantly wash away whatever on it. The equator weather dry up the water easily since all public toilets are well ventilated, it's better than enclose buildings in the west. Traffic jams in KL & Penang can be bad
*Welcome to Malaysia truly Asia good food, good people beautiful beach, GOOD DURIAN TOO , skyscrapers & others, Msian likes to lepak Restaurant Mamak drink Teh Tarik, Likes to joining Malaysian just asking them, Welcome 🇲🇾💙🧡♥️💙🇲🇾*
I'm planning to take semi-retirement at the end of this year and want to spend 3-5 months in KL over winter, however I fear my plans may be scuppered because of covid.
I feel so bad that the worsening air quality is actually not the fault of the Malaysians* themselves but due to the irresponsible land-clearing smoke pollution drifting over from Indonesia. *applies to the Singaporeans as well
The air quality, i have to agree with you. But dont forget about the seasonal haze from Indonesia forest fires that impacts Malaysia and Singapore as well.
already feel comfortable...5 years i come there...maybe i go for 1 month vacation next year...i dont know RoninBlue, im sold. thank you for making this and hope i can be your future guest and client.. neko washington state usa
Theres no more MM2H. Besides driving in kl is a nightmare if you are foriegner. Even with google map. I would prefer melaka, penang, ipoh, johor baru for retirement.
Mostly well done video. A few points that he was off on though -- the infrastructure isnt quiet as good as hes making it out. Its better than poorer countries like thailand, philippines, vietnam etc but it is still NOT up to the US, singapore, western europe etc standards. I would consider the infrastructure above average but definitely not great yet.. Also i wouldnt call the weather great what so ever. The place is extremely hot, humid and much rainier than hes making it out to be. Flooding is common. Also for single people dating isnt a good as the rest of SE asia. The women are more insular, clannish and religious. Other than that good video
had our honeymoon at KL and Langkawi 10 years ago..as we spent most our time Langkawi would love to back to KL and spend more time exploring there. Love the food!
There's no such thing as a perfect city in this world. Every city in this world has its own uniqueness. It is just the matter of much we appreciate and comfortable with the uniquness. Plus, how much we can tolerate with the things that we are not comfortable with. If the scores for these two is high enough for us, we can stay in the city for as long as we wanted.
Nah Traffic is Horrendous esp peak hour Corruption, CORRUPTION Unbelievable n so Crime is high. Priced ain't Cheap no more Many many better City to Retire in.
Can't retire in Malaysia, they ceased MM2H , no news on when will be offered again. Big mistake by Gov. All the expat money will go to Thailand, Mexico
What does it cost for an expat to buy health insurance in Malaysia? Are there good, inexpensive, choices since the medical costs are much cheaper than the U.S.?
If i am retiring, important factor for me are greeneries, clean and serene environment, not overly developped, nice people and most importantly food. I am not after the huge shopping complexes, all the high rise buildings, congested roads and 'kiasu' and self centered society. KL is closing towards that or maybe already is.
Former French colony (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), good food. Former British colony(Malaysia), awful food. Follow that rule of thumb and you won't go far wrong. Hint: Penang is largely run by Chinese. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
For those who intended to live in malaysia,i would just like you guys to think that "cheap" expenses for you guys is equal to expensive things for local,i am speaking with bali issue in mind,the prices of health care,groceries and even land plot there had been very expensive to the locals because of foreigners who take advantage of their higher valued currency,and i dont want it to happend to my beloved country,so please be proud of where you live,and just stay there
I hate to be negative but it's a Muslim country and Arab jihad's have lived there. KL is a great city but you just never know when something nasty happens.
Sorry we are not arabs. We are multi ethnics here. Multi culture and multi religious. What happen in middle east, no need to apply it in Malaysia. We are different than any muslim countries in middle east/west asia. We don't have such stupid thing so called jihad or terrorist. Before blaming other just because of muslim population in the country,, better to check your facts first before judge. No need to spread hate or give over-negative comments just to make other people hurts.
High Crime infested country. Looks nice, but robbery and home invasion mugging is common in Malaysia. I do agree that its a beautiful country, but dangerous for expats to live like in any other developing nation.
@@forevergraceful6160 Truth hurts, huh. If you're straight out of UK, perhaps Malaysian food is acceptable. But after 36 years of Japanese food ... Jack the Japan Alps Brit
Everyone please dont get mad. There is no need to argue with him. These foreigner can use google and search themself how malaysian food rank are. Dont waste your time with this kind of narrow minded human. Just let the people who wanna come do the research themself. Beside, this is just 1 hate comment. I think i know where this guy from. Just ignore him.

Brother what is the status and situation there right now? Is KL open for the tourists now or not yet?
@Afix OK brother thanks for the information.... Are you Malay citizen?
@Afix OK afix..... Your good name?? Are you a boy or a girl? 😉
💯💯💯💯👍
I wonder who wrote in Wikipedia that the population of KL is only 1.8million.
Need some more correct history.....totally wrong about KL origin name came from Malay bisnes man..Long Jaafar...before colonise by British
Malaysia truly asia🇲🇾😉
My experience working in petronas twin towers since the past 10 yrs is that the air got polluted when there were forest fires from indonesia during their burning season.
Hello Kara, How are you? Are you Malay or Chinese? I am willing to move to KL for a business purpose.. Could you please guide me as a friend.?
@@learn_networking1 so sad she doesn't reply you🤣
@@farisruzaimi5353 No problem... 😉

The burning session from Indonesia is seasonal (their country need to do something on it) and not stay long
I can think of 20 pros for KL and Malaysia. And only 2 cons (Really hot + traffic).
💯💯💯💯👍
Traffic jam is common in all capital city in most countries but here during peak hours only
Great Video Ronin Blue. Informative Series. I’m planning on living half the year more or less in South East Asia. You’re living the Dream.

I need to go...now! Exquisite multicultural cornucopia. Really appreciate this video. Thank you, Ronin.

Not walkable its true but when u want to cross the road just use the power of hand. ✋🏻

I wonder if you can apply for retirement visa from thailand and malaysia at the same time and just do 6 months each year between the 2 countries....
Good choice and selection because kl to any cities in thailand not far away very easy access by flight train and bus
I'm planning to take semi-retirement at the end of this year and want to spend 3-5 months in KL over winter, however I fear my plans may be scuppered because of covid.

The best city on the planet.
Sabah n sarawak rich with unique flora and fauna
@@danishiqbal3241 Yes I can imagine...havn't been to those places but would love it for sure.
For less money, go where you are treated best. Why not?
Where did he said only because of low cost
“Expats” a term used by brits so they don’t refer to themselves as immigrants..
Is not those tin miners founded KL... Its already part of Selangor state.
Some more KL opened by Sultan Puasa from Johor Riau empires
if u in budget,live outskirt of kl so cost little bit low.find condo near lrt.
Well explained!...
Nasi lemak is Malaysia national dish
The air quality, i have to agree with you. But dont forget about the seasonal haze from Indonesia forest fires that impacts Malaysia and Singapore as well.
But Malaysia air pollution index... Is more cleaner than Thailand!...
@@daddykarl3312 agree. The haze is due to burning of estates in kalimantan or Sumatra.
Great video. We miss you, Ronin.

Same here in china , they follow you around the store.
"Not that walkable" ,thats not good ,I love walking .also all about visa requirements..

malaysia used to be good for living 15 years ago but when it comes to these days its not as its used to be. life changed.
