Thanks again for all the helpful advice. It's good (for me) that Penang prices are coming down a bit. It seemed pretty high. I like Langkawi but not sure I would want to live there. The Malaysian reserve property is called "Bumi ... Read More

No idea about that. I'd imagine it depends which state in Malaysia you live. I kind of doubt prefab homes are popular there given the labor costs are quite cheap. It certainly would be faster and less hassle to go prefab. That being ... Read More

Honestly I don't think it's the expats that drove up prices... it's likely mainland Chinese and wealthy Malaysians who find Penang to be the most desirable place to be. Read More

Penang is way too expensive I've found. I've seen 1/2 acre plots for $500k USD!!! Read More

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) by Hansson
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Visa was initially introduced as a Retirement Visa for foreigners interested in moving to and settling in Malaysia. Basically it is a 10 year Social Visit Pass with Multiple Entry that allows you to go and come as ...
Well you could apply for the Peninsular program (or maybe one of the others in the region) and switch over when you reach 50. Because of the different systems it would be a new application. But most of the application materials are identical. Just ... Read More

My sense is that Sarawak views their program as one for authentic retirees...it was originally styled the "Silver-Haired Program" (on both sides of the drink). But when it was rebranded to be an "investors" visa on the peninsula, ... Read More

Since you have to stay in the Peninsula for the next decade perhaps you'll see which of the projects were will of the wisps, and which reached fruition. Then decide if you want to move over here.Sounds like an impressive place. It's too bad ... Read More

Well I have lived in a mountain town in Oregon where the nearest town larger than 50,000 was 3.5 hours away. I've only been to the doctor once since I was an adult for a blood check (when I turned 43). Shopping malls hold little interest. ... Read More

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I am definitely limited to the Peninsula then. I am learning something new every day and I very much appreciate your thoughtful and informative responses! Really? I can't join the Sarawak MM2H program ... Read More
