Chris, congratulations on making the move to Malaysia. Come over to Penang and we will host you and show you around AND take you to eat all the great hawker food in Penang. ❤
Good luck and all the best for your new life style in JB. Hope to catch up with you one day there.
All the best Chris! 🎉
Looking forward to hear more of your life in Malaysia!
We need a video series on this topic!
I'm genuinely happy for your move to freedom in Msia, I'm working on mine to Thailand
All the best 😊 and please keep your content rolling 🎉
I'm happy for you. Looking forward for your next videoss in Malaysia :)
That's very good. I did that last year, this year temporary back SG
Thanks for sharing! May I ask if you are local or Malaysian?
your point on people is really valid
Congratulations. Welcome to Malaysia .
Good thing abt Malaysia - since you are a digital nomad, if you want to live an even cheaper lifestyle, consider living outside of KL. perhaps move to different states every few months. Internet is nationwide coverage and hv 5G. You'd be surprised the diversity of food and culture here. Don't worry abt safety (just don't wear expensive shit & act normal), most Malaysians are friendly and helpful, esp if you could speak Malay, it would help you tremendously.
Wow nice! Let us know if the location and environment is good. Am thinking retiring at Malaysia as well
enjoy your new move and experience!
I am very happy for you, When I was young, I lived in several countries and it already open my heart, mind and soul as well as critical thinking. You don't have a child yet so your move right now to move out of your comfort zone and explore new territory is correct. Be bold to venture out, not every gain is countable in dollars and cents, an enriched life will open up to more new ideas and an ability to see things from different angle. I will be moving out of Singapore soon, my children have all moved out of Singapore to experience life and to grow their mind and soul. That why it important to save and start investing as young as possible, although I did not start investing as young as you, I was able to generate passive income from rentals. I look forward to your videos and do take care of yourself and don't forget your parents. God will bless all those who do things right. Life is about experiencing and growing and developing into a better person as well. Thank you for your contribution on financial matters. It really helpful.
Welcome to Malaysia 🎉
Welcome to Malaysia. As a Msian residing in JB, I look forward to visits to Singapore. You have lovely parks, great 1st world facilities and things work much better than Msia putting aside cost of living. But Malaysia is still home.
Good choice Chris! Food (raw materials) is definitely fresher in Msia
that i disagree. singapore actually gets the premium agricultural products from malaysia because the SGD is higher. if the agri products can be sent to JB from hundreds of miles away, they would prefer to drive a few more miles to earn a whole lot more.
Ever considered getting a camper van and travel around Malaysia, even to Thailand and Russia?
Good for you! But how about your family members?
The mic is good. No background noise
Saya pernah tinggal Di Singapore dua minggu Singapore terlampau Mahal kawan saya Singaporean pon tinggal Di Johor
It’s always good to have a financial plan. Or move to a location were you can excel better….I work with a licensed planner and fixed-income strategist in LA. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income
Happy for you Chris :) But just curious, you gonna move there on tourist visa? I also hope to move to Penang when I could but have no idea how. Maybe you could do a video on the various visas or perm resident schemes in M'sia. All the best!
Maybe he has a msian gf/wife. I know of quite a few men date msian gf/wife to move there.
You need proper visa. Tourist visa, you may get banned
Stay safe in Malaysia Chris! :)))
Congrats Chris.
KL city center better la. Rm2500 can get you a super luxury condo, nearby your SG embassy, much safer than JB. Short distance to Genting, Penang, Cameron Highlands. Huge digital nomad and professional networks.
2500 sgd is not even enough to get a tiny flat in Singapore HAHAHAHAHA
In my long term dream, I'll semi-retire there as well. However, can you share more about how tax will be handled if you'll be doing your digital nomad there? How about the visa?
welcome to Malaysia Chris!
Surprise to see Batu Pahat at 6:29, are you moving there?
where should you go? if you stay in JB, it's easier to run back to SG regularly but what's the point if you WFH. you only do that if your daily job is in SG. KL has better infra but crowded and jam. property prices higher aso. but can take train, no need car. penang? more chinese. less trains. need cars but also small land space. of course, food is 'better'. some older folks even suggest ipoh. that is more suited for old people who don't go out often.
Can give an update on your life in Malaysia?
Wow! Great choice!
I recall he got a sizable portfolio.. by scaling back. And retire in Malaysia it much easier to achieve then in sg..
just base on rental/food cost etc
Also a good testing ground to see if his portfolio can support his retirement..
I’m sure everyone want to “test water”
He could ram up his portfolio 20-30% and then with his experience in Malaysia , find a better place or a different country like Thailand or Vietnam
With 3-4k sgd is doable
I also want to move to Malaysia. But im not very about the visa requirements and eligibility for buying apartments and cars
You will declare yourself as digital nomad in Msia or keep coming back SG to renew the 30 days visa? Yes, please let us know how.
All the best for your small and big success in your future.
Agree..I rather be a Malaysian but work in SG to earn the 3.44 , if I work hard in SG for 10 yrs... I definitely can go back to Malaysia n set up a small business, but can Singaporean do that in their own country??? 😲🤔🤭
They spend their whole life paying off a tiny flat but think they’re richer just because 3.44. When in reality they live mundane, tiny flat and public transport lives.
Agreed, MY citizen with SG PR is way better than SG citizen. Too bad for us, have to find a Malaysian spouse to enjoy the same benefits.
Nice. Rent out your HDB and stay in Malaysia. A few of my ex-colleagues are doing that as well. A Malaysian colleague has even accrued a property portfolio of 6 apartments, 3 cars, 3 motorbikes just using his income from SG.
No need to be greedy of wealth as life is limited. Just hv enough is good enough. Even you rich, u cannot spend all
KL is a great city. Good move.
oh which part of M'sia are you moving to? JB or KL? I'm from KL working in Singapore. If its KL, I can intro you places haha! :)
Which city in Malaysia are you moving to? And why?
SG so hectic , a normal people staying here too long will go siao.
Need more space , lesser noise
Creator covered the "why", but nothing about the "how".
Please stay tune for part 2
Because the vid said so...
Nowadays a lot of "inspiring" youngsters guru who can teach people in investment and etc...amazing :)
Chris you are SG PR and hold Msia passport is it? Can just go msia to stay long term one meh
not as easy as it sounds.. msia govt customs now more stricter in their '30 days' rule.
It Ok, he is young, can take that nomadic lifestyle, won't die wan! it better to challenge oneself and move out of one's comfort zone, that the beauty when one is young, they can take the risk and falls. That why both of my sons ventured out of Singapore. You now why KIWI BIRDS cannot fly cos New Zealand was such a safe haven for KIwi birds, they never have take flights since there is no danger, as times goes by, they lose the ability to fly. So soar high my dear Chris when you are young, go experience life and enrich your heart and mind in other untangible ways. You will always be welcome back to Singapore. You are a son of Singapore.
Are you sure he can be back in time to serve Singapore when our motherland is being threatened …
I just started watching your video today and u are going malaysia. Hahahahah please intro us more info for us to retire in malaysia too 😂
Great move esp while you’re young.
A lot of the naysayers tend to be making comments out of self reflection fear and never lived as a local overseas.
The crab mentality of those who “can’t” must be pushed aside.
Living overseas as a local changes you in a very positive way.
In addition, the way many commenters talk about safety and stuff show how much of a bubble nanny state babies they are and how skewed their mindsets have developed because of the very high standard in sg.
Go do what’s best for you and wish you all the best.
It’s be good to talk about visa stuff in the future as well as have a collab with great non finance TH-camrs who retired in Malaysia like Taylor, the retire American.
Your term 'bubble nanny state babies' is so apt in every way. Young people, even girls, of other countries want to have some adventure and go live in and explore foreign countries. But these people dare not even venture out and spend a few years in the nearest country that has a culture most similar to Singapore.
If can retire early is better to do something less stressful and better if the job is your hobby and of your interests!
Looks like I will join you, things are ways too ex here
would you live in KL or Johor?
But mr Loo just post a video on how tedious to get the visa
Dear Chris please oso explore setting up boarding school for sg kids base on international baccalaureate so that kids are better disciplined. The schools here are gd but after school, but because no boarding school for pri n secondary, kids here are very not controlable to 斯文parents. They cannot take punishment n will run away from home causing alot of stress n hardship. Please consider.
Malaysia is the place to be. Go where we will be treated best.
Excuse me pls advise hw to connect..bro...kindest tq..
Does TH-cam pay you in Malaysia ringgit for your broadcast about malaysia?
With your face, you will fit in really well.
Come and stay with me in Malaysia.
how to stay in Malaysia for a long period sia? 30 days book in and out can do for how long? no limit meh?
Maybe he has a msian gf/wife. I know of quite a few men date msian gf/wife to move there.
there's Digital Normad Visa
@@seabreeze667maybe his parents was Malaysian
digital nomad visa?
Welcome to Malaysia
Honey SG still?
Singapore got better high end restaurants and cooks but how often would you go to such places.
Only for the most wealthy. Most SGrean can't afford it anyway.
@@coffeemug3009 even less so for Malaysians
@@AlphaMaleMy you can find great food at every price range in Malaysia. 😉 For the Malaysian experience Michelin-starred fine dining, try Dewakan at KLCC.
@@coffeemug3009 thanks, I will stick with mamak
@@AlphaMaleMy yes, mamak is the best. Roti canai, nasi kandar, tosai, mee goreng mamak.... 😍😍😍
So channel become honeymoneyMY?
good choice.
The grass is greener on the other side,
😂 make sense
Looks like it’s inevitable. The cost of living in Sg is driving people nuts and as time goes by, it seems not working (no pun intended) as we found that we actually have a limited lifespan 😢. Do let us know how you intend to live in malaysia while holding a tourist visa (travel in-out Sg frequently?)
Dont need to, just apply for nomad visa. 5 years to 10
BTO how?
Wat abt ur visa ?
Good for you. Explore the world while you’re still young and energetic. To have some idea about Malaysia checkout:
TH-camr e.g. Andrew Taylor, American expat from Florida who has lived in Penang for about 7 years and 1 year in KL. A lot of experience on Malaysian culture.
Another youtuber is the Corporate Breakout Couple, a Singaporean man married to Malaysian and based in Penang. Both retired early in Singapore and decided to venture the world and become fulltime TH-camrs. The wife is the tour guide for husband on Malaysian food and culture. Both have already accustomed to driving around Penang and Malaysia.
Like Corporate Breakout Couple!
This guy maybe among of many Japanese & Korean or other expat in Malaysia. Who earning USD or currency from own countries & leaving in lower currency in Malaysia. Plus this time he may in advantage due to the next king will be from Johore. Which the king has a better relationship towards Singapore gov for years.
This place looks like my neighbourhood.
So ur partner and u how :0 last I remember u were attached and that was one reason u were delaying the move
But need to in and out every month.
Just get a digital nomad pass and you can stay long term for at least 2 years
Hi Chris, you bought a house in Malaysia? Foreigner need to buy landed property RM1.0M and above.
go malaysia dont buy, rent.
RM 1m so cheap. With that price you can't even buy a small house in sg
Thinking of going to Msia too once I've accumulated some decent amount of assets. I think it's just a happier place for children to grow up in, and they still have 华校 education system that we abolished in the 80s.
Malaysia boleh mm2h is too stringent and doesn't appeal to foreigners. Policy always flip flop out of a sudden.
Many Malaysia Chinese benefits from Singapore "welcome to work " x 3.4 currency conversion. Malaysian should be grateful for Singapore giving a helping hand to especially Malaysia Chinese.
This Vlogger should have gratitude to Singapore, gives him a lifeline to prosper here. I envy you can get a Singapore bto subsided flat. I am a Singaporean served national service and yet unable to qualify to buy a new bto flat.
Heard crime rate in Malaysia is very high. Is it true?
It is an exaggeration. No robbery at all in where I live. Singapore is too safe and very convenient, where the government takes very very good care of its citizens. Because of this, it can be unsettling for Singaporeans to explore the world outside, where not everything is taken care of by the government.
food Malaysia the best
Those that are not good enough should leave.
Those who are good enough should move to better places than be contained
Haha…. So fast fly white flag and fled to Malaysia?
Have u?
Congrats on embarking on your geo-arbitraging journey👍. Do be more alert in Malaysia... in terms of safety/crime it can be... a much "upper tier" than Yishun😅. Jokingly, dont buy all the property and leave some for us🤣. Good tidings and fortune ahead.
You should move to Bangkok
Rent is more expensive than KL, crime rate, especially murder rate is double than KL. Yet Singaporeans are too delusional to realise the facts, they rather say KL is worse because it suits their agenda of jealousy when the facts say otherwise.
Chris, nd Ur loubang there. Please set up match mate agency for like-minded youths. Daughter in laws despite been graduates the girls hands on alot helping at home and in family businesses. They are less demanding and warmer home maker. U could go different states n find out their chores. Kids raised here are hard to craft and very challenging. Kindly consider.
enough money stay, not enough go - no worries
Sooner or later will come back to Singapore and out of another video again about why 😂
So what….he has the freedom of choice…jealous ah😂
malaysia food confirm better value for money
Earn Singapore Dollar while living in Malaysia. Sure good life!
Earn in ringgit in Malaysia still a better life than earning SGD in Singapore lmao. Unless you want to live in a tiny flat and take the bus until you’re 90 years old.
Why take the easy route and retire in another country or Malaysia per se?! A human being is supposed to work (smart) and GROW his/her wealth to live a comfortable life in your own native country because your family/friends/relatives are to be found! Per Mr Goh Chok Tong’s saying when he was PM: quitters or stayers???!!!
U r a typical PAP arse licking moron
Why be a plantation worker who only makes our millionaire ministers and their elite friends richer?
When we separated from Malaysia, we lost our countryside. I don't think it's unreasonable for someone who wants a quieter lifestyle to move back to the countryside.
Yah…you are typical hater (loser)…must be feeling so jealous of Chris who is able to make this choice for his life and you cannot (or would not) becoz die die also you must stay and fight (not sure what you are fighting for but certainly not in your best interest) so you are the real loser.
You can come and visit, but don't retire here. When we separated Singapore, it's not the land we want to be apart, it's the people.
Chris, are you burnt out?
Huh?????????
You guys should consider retiring in russia!
I want to pick a fight in the comment sections!!! fight fight fight!! hahaha
Chris, I have no good words for you. Yes, each one writes its own path, and there is no right or wrong And you have an advantage than most of your audience as you are young. If today, you are in your fifties, then, I will congratulate you for your retirement in Malaysia. But you are young, and being a Singaporean (if I'm not wrong), you should be able to stand the heat, pressure or whatever things throw to you. You are lucky, you are doing what you like with passion, unlike most the others. You look and sound thrifty, if you stand firm with your feet on the ground, I'm sure success will come. To me, now, you are quitting. Quitting to the pressure of the high cost of living, owning a car, owning a condo etc. Well, to each his own. Good luck for relocation to Malaysia.
He's being smart. You on the other hand sound like a plantation worker who regurgitate the motherhood statements our millionaire ministers make.
Walao , you become a 马哥 ah? hahaha😂
No need to buy a car! That's rich boy stuff. If you need to sharpen your driving skills - Grand Theft Auto.
