I love this contents
I'm a Singaporean who also prefers Malaysia culture and lifestyle and also planning to move there too
You have spoken for what I've been feeling between SG and MY, alot of which I don't have the right person to share with.
Mad respect to you!
Don't care about haters who have no balls to make any change in their life.
spots on, Chris. What you shared is why I like about living in MY. However, the slow pace env is more conducive to semi retiree or retiree. Internet Broadband is expensive compared to SG and slower too. The rest are more value for money. Enjoy ur stay there. Cheers.
I like this kind of contents and great sharing! I do agree with you that successful people will have more options and more control in their life! Your move is really inspiring and i agreed with all the points you've mentioned! Looking fwd to seeing such contents in the future!🎉
I work fulltime in SG and spend my weekends in JB, everytime I cross the border mindset is different already. Don't bring Singaporean expectations to Malaysia.
Malaysia = lots of land = houses are big = majority stays in big freehold landed houses = most drive cars = RICH
Singapore = no land = houses are shoeboxes = 80% stay in leasehold non-landed cramped housing = 11% car ownership = POOR
keep up the good work dude. Am glad that you’ve grown a lot : )
Kudos on your move, wishing you all the best and welcome to Malaysia!
Thank you for the hospitality!
Bless you! Wishing you greater success here in Malaysia.
Really great video!
Well said. Doing what you find fulfilling with purpose 👍
I used to work in Singapore and also worked remotely in Malaysia with a Singaporean company as contract worker.
Based on what I experienced, I realise people in Singapore are playing different game: the pursuit of luxury in a high pressure environment.
The goal seems to work your way up and spend all your saving to own a HDB flat (or if lucky a car as well) for retirement. Both are luxuries due to limited space in SG.
And the people around me will ask how much I earned or whether I own any house or car. Then there will be stories about how Ah Kong (whom I don't know) is earning a lot, bought house etc...
That's why I totally understood why your haters will comment such way.
They have been working hard for so many years to get to their current level (remember when Internet wasn't a norm).
Yet, you're moving away from the system while acquiring the same assets at much faster rate. Who wouldn't be jealous? 🤣
In Malaysia, the people in the cities are much like to compare as well; career, assets, brand etc. But you can choose not to play this game.
I was baffled why Singaporeans have negative connotation towards living in Malaysia where everything is so much cheaper here and the food is usually fresher too.
Since you make contents remotely, there's no real good reason to stay in expensive area like SG unless you want to stay close to your family or like-minded people within the area.
Anyway, glad that you give Malaysia a try!
I'm sure you can find the balance after that. Good luck!
Hi HMSG, have been following you and benefitting from some of your videos. Just wanted to let you know that this video is very close to heart - coming from someone who eat, sleep, dream of retiring in Malaysia at a certain “X” age.
While I may not have the capacity to do it now because of family commitments, but please ignore the naysayers or keyboard warriors… You live your own life and I believe you made the right decision.
Continue to live your own life, and benefit people all around you. 👍👍 Cheers!
I appreciate a change in genre. No need to mind those naysayers. You are highly successful for your age group.
Looking forward to see more of JB thru your lens. Take care and stay safe!
Best wishes loved the content pls teach us how to read charts if u have time
Haters gonna be haters, I agree with the options of being able to choose where u want to stay overseas. Continue to roll out content for the people who want to watch and gain knowledge. I look forward to your vlog type content on daily life in Malaysia.
Kudos, u did it🎉❤ 👍
hello Chris！ 格局can mean big picture thinker ❤. Great it seem you look more vibrant as well!❤
Thanks for sharing Chris. Hope to get your advice on how you got your MM2H visa for long term stay in Malaysia. Was it easy to apply? A video on that would be super for your TH-cam channel.
I get digital expat visa
Dear Chris, thanks for sharing your living experiences in Malaysia.
Do you mind sharing how you got about moving to malaysia?
Agree! I was in sg for 20 yrs and malaysia 24 yrs .... i feel more relaxed in msia
How long do i have to be away from Malaysia to re-enter the country for 30 days visa free?
You are right. People who move out of their comfort zone will definitely widen their horizon. Otherwise, we will see our domestic challenges as the worst in the world when in fact many other countries have more difficult problems to face. I often hear many Singaporeans say people are friendly in Malaysia. I think it may SOMETIMES be because you are foreigners with spending power. Singapore are also nicer to foreigners in Singapore especially sales people.
Malaysia offers better quality of living than Singapore, or any OVERPOPULATED CITY.
Totally support your stand not to bring what is normal in Singapore and impose on the people in other countries, when one is living in SOMEONE ELSE'S country.
What is a good bank for a Fixed Deposit in MYR in Malaysia? I found a website with comparisons, but the information is not accurate at all. And what is a good choice for health insurance in Malaysia?
Efficiency vs slow pace of life in Malaysia? Just a matter of situations, working environment - no rush, just finish your task😊
Hi Chris, I just get to see your video, based on everything that you had shared, it is very very reliable and informative 😃🙏🏼 yes you are a successful person because you got option to move to Malaysia 👍 I can only say, only jealousy will annoy people 😂
I hope to learn more from you and know how to improve a better life 😃 Stay safe ☺️
I believe you are true to wat you want in life... Continue your journey to a happy ending
Just like Nasi Lemak and the sambal. Which country would you eat from? Having options is knowing the time value of money ?
Hi Chris, jus curious, you need any visa to stay there?
Can I check if your mike is connected to a smartphone or to a proper camera?
We definitely benefit from the currency exchange rate to improve our quality of life there. See your background you stay in hotel room for long stay?
When you are talking about the loud noises that cars make, I literally hear the noise outside my bedroom LOL
i completely agree abt chicken topic 👍👍👍
How long do i have to be away from Malaysia to re-enter the country for 30 days visa free?
ayeee yumcha some day
Hey Ziet, yes anytime when I'm up in KL!
I agree with watver u said
FairPrice very fast? It is so slow for me and I am a foreigner.
Yah, we shld all mind our own business and words, nvm the naysayers, you do you. For one, you are happy and that's all that matters, it's ok if others don't understand. And as always, thanks for sharing!
*智者惜口，愚者指点江山*
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[3:12] *Agree w/ Chris, minding our own business is a very impt life skill. If you are unhappy nw, most likely you kaypo too much or you allow kaypo people to easily enter your life + mind.*
Welcome to Malaysia Chris and hope your stay here will be as pleasant as you expect it to be or better. Whilst that, how about creating some contents that could encourage our Malaysian B40 and M40 on baby steps but long-term investing via Tiger, WeBull or even Momo (who is gonna be active in Malaysia). People these days just underestimate what a single Rm100 per month can do for them if they compound it through proper investments. Many invest in short-term games with quick returns in which makes them loose even more.
For some viewers out there, answer is NO, the races here DON'T HATE each other. However, I wouldn't deny the fact of some nutjobs creating racial tensions everywhere they go.
It is not hard to live in Malaysia and YES to what Chris said being respectful to the local culture and I would wanna add that you just have to do a thorough research before making any approach. Being in Singapore maybe too competitive for one but he/she may be a pioneer with whatever skillset they have in Malaysia (who knows). It's not the exchange rate that matters, it's what you've gain eventually.
For Chris, your youth, knowledge and positive attitude will bring many good things into your life. All the best.
How long are you staying in Malaysia?
True..in future....1 sing = Rm 4
cool you can live in japan thailand to learn new languages now as well
Chris. I totally agree with you. KFC Malaysia is much much better than KFC Singapore😂🎉
I prefer sg one
Jai Hinduja. For me, I cannot find any good Chicken rice in Malaysia.
At my age, I am more concern on conveniency of living environment. Singapore is much more cheaper than other places.
Welcome to Malaysia bro. It’s better here since you already have the money and is generating income passively. Lower cost of living and still you have access to invest as you like.
Just don’t throw away your SG citizenship. Don’t think it’s worth it to do so becoming a full Malaysian. Due to political reasons it’s better to stay a Singaporean.
Hahaha😂😂😂😂….Chris thanks for the fantastic video…you dare exposed the simple truth about living in Malaysia versus Singapore. All the hollow haters just ignore them, as they are the real losers unable to admit to themselves that they are not able to have the freedom of choice like you have. They (haters) lash out at you becoz they are unable to see their true self.
I really do admire you despite your youthful age but with a mindset of of a wise ‘old man’! Do continue with your journey in Malaysia and looking forward to seeing more such genres!😊
hope you can collab with the local youtuber.
I dont know why foreigners kept on saying life in Malaysia is so laidback. To me it is not laid back at all. I don't know about Singapore cause I have never lived there but to me compared to my time in the US life is so much more hectic in Malaysia than in the US. In the US I finish my work exactly at 6 PM. Most people who do overtime they are only doing it because they want to chase for promotions and all. However the majority of people goes back from work exactly at 6. In Malaysia, well I wish I could do that. If I dont work overtime I will never be able to meet my deadline. I have to work on average 11-12 hours per day. My brother works at a large multi national insurance company and he has been working 60 - 70 hours per week. Malaysian companies are well known to be understaffed and because of that your workload becomes so much bigger. Plus, because of the horrible traffic I sometimes have to go out from my house super early. I would have to start driving before 7 AM or else I am going to be late. Everyday is such a rush for me. Life in Kuala Lumpur is stressful in my opinion. Maybe if you live in Ipoh or Melaka it is not that much of a rush, but in KL or Penang it is a lot of rush.
I think the whole Malaysia is so laid back thing comes from the fact we are much less materialistic than Singapore or the US or the UK and so on. We also don't care much about looks, not nearly as much as the Americans, Koreans, Japanese, etc. I do believe that Malaysians walk pretty slow, that to me is because we literally drive everywhere we go. We are not accustomed to walking a lot unlike Singapore or Japan. So whenever we walked, we actually enjoyed and we cherished it, at least that is true for me. 😅😅😅.
As far as the whole efficiency thing I do agree about that, however when it comes to the private sector to me its due to again understaffed. Many of these workers like at the malls and all they had to work 16-17 hours per day for very little money. I used to work for a month at a supermarket after SPM as a cashier and it was hell. They don't have much staff and if one person is on leave most of the time we have to cover his time if his shift is during peak hours. Many of us who worked there was burnt out, and I lasted only a month, I pity the rest of the worker. I mean it's bad enough that I have to work that long and standing for hours and all I get is being paid dirt money. Why would I care to give my best work for a lousy job with a terrible management like that. In the public sector though those working in the Ministry are the worst. You see all this mak cik with their big tushy walking so slow, with their lazy faces providing the worst services ever. Lol. That area needs a lot of improvements, its time for the government to significantly cut down public sector employment.
i dont think the comments you highlighted are hate comments, just people voicing their opinions. Singaporeans are way too sheltered with regards to little criticisms / pushbacks like this. When I interact with people from let's say UK, they banter all the time and it trains their heart. if your heart 格局 is big enough you wouldnt view them as hate comments / or even take the time to point it out specifically in a video. the fact that you did it still reflects much more about you (pettiness) despite what you 'say'.
@@exploringapis4495 it's a kind of asian chinese culture in sg. starts from the top where people sue others for saying something they dont like, lol.
I would say each have their own good.
Having travel to much SEA countries, I wont put (west) Malaysia any top of Singapore. In fact, I will put Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang and Siem Reap, Miri (East Malaysia) high up for retirement areas. Food wise, I would say Singapore do have our own fresh produces. The question is, do you mind the much higher price than imported produced? Having Farms behind Choa Chu Kang does gives me freshest vegetables around, so I can safely say they are comparable to Camaron highland produce.
Perhaps Msians outside of KL/Selangor is more used to speaking in Malay (BM) but definitely not the case in KL/Selangor. I just wanna share an interesting cultural difference that I only came to learn about this year (as a 30 y/o KL-kia born and raised in KL and never lived outside of KL/Selangor).
I have a SG classmate when I'm studying in HK, and he thought my BM should be good but I was very puzzled because in fact BM is my least-used and weakest language (partly bcoz i have strong opinions abt the racial discrimination happening in Msia). Even if someone speaks to me in BM, I will reply in English (except for easy words like satu dua tiga, bungkus). Until I came back to KL and met with a friend from Johor, she explained that in Johor, they MUST speak BM to those Malay vendors or they won't respond to them (her exp growing up la).
I was quite surprised by this cultural difference coz I rarely speak BM and in KL, speaking BM to everyone that you meet could get u into trouble. For example, if you speak BM to a dark skin guy who turns out to be Chinese, that is super rude lol. You will see the person immediately pull a LONG FACE and look VERY IRRITATED. I don't want to run into those kinds of situations. So I usually speak English first, and then guess the language that the other person speaks through our conversation, then code switch to whichever language we both feel more comfortable with.
not factual. I am a chinese and my chinese friends from subang jaya totally loves berbahasa and we love the language! (we all go to sekolah kebangsaan btw)
That why bahasa is important too than English coz it our national language
Can i know what visa are u on to live in malaysia as a singaporean without having immigration issues?
Digital expat visa
Currency conversion doesn't matter.
KFC in malaysia taste the worse. Did you try their original recipe? I tried more than twice, give up liao
aiyo.. poor chickens leh... see them all squeezed in the small cage. just leave them alone :(
Realise ur skin better after moved to msia, is it because of good food XD?
Dont mind others say, u no need to explain. we understand YOU
Jai Hinduja. Can you open a local bank account in Malaysia? Actually one of my Malaysian friends kept most of life saving in Singapore. Every week, he will cross over to withdraw some money for his living expences.
Mind our own business = Mind our own invesment n not listening to Others esp online talking
Of course it is harder in MY the bumis hate Chinese and wear their disdain on their faces when interacting with you. Something I do not experience in China.
@kitsura. Wrong info!
hahah bro talking about minding ur own business and poking nose right.... after about 30 plus years old, nose hair will start to grow a bit longer. so must make the effort to trim from time to time XD sorry for this paiseh comment but just looking out for you a bit lah, cuz I also noticed when I get older and realised need to start trimming regularly.
btw that henrylau comment - i believe the guy was just showing concern in his own way btw. he wish u good luck and was saying that he felt disappointed. which comes from a place of expecting more, rather than wanting to put you down.
Malaysia use fresh chickens. SG use frozen chickens 🤭
Aiya ... sacrifice la ..you also need sacrifice separated from family and love ones ..say easier than done .. your age long way to go . What you said abt Malaysian only 30% correct
The cowards worry about crime rumors and live like paupers in pigeon holes.

Chinese was the anchor of ASEAN when Chinese migrated from China, before-during the (China)cultural-revolution (Mongoloids attack Chinese and implemented communism), and became the ones known to have had built and lead the economies of ASEAN. The ungrateful attacked and took-over the reins from Chinese by-force. It is the people-culture-religion that produces success.
Thereafter, china-towns around the world were destroyed and logistics crippled as shown before-during the covid19 period and thereafter. The current game is, all Chinese will not-be anchor to their forever create conflict indian-women-culture.
