Hi all,

I work for a telecommunication Company from New Zealand , basically i share my time between : UK , New Zealand and Malaysia.

I was working permanently In Kuala Lumpur and Sabah for many years . My wife is from Malaysia and we live in Kota Kinabalu now.

Most of my job is world-wide, I am a System and support engineer for Radio communication network. We used to travel during the past few years (France , UK , New Zealand and Malaysia).

Malaysia is a wonderful country , people really welcome you . I stay previously in KL for One year , it is a nice city but very busy also with a lot of traffic jam . I really prefer Sabah and the life over there is really cool.

We have two lovely daughters (15 months Twins : I can tell you it is a tough job !!!) we try to teach them several languages : English , French and Mandarin and we notice the first baby talking are in English language.

I am 43 now (yes time is running) and start now to plan our retirement in Malaysia .

Hi Julien,

Malaysia , is very happening , a lot of things to do :
-Trecking
-Sea Sport
-the food : simply fantastic
-People : they are really nice
-Malaysia is not far away from other Countries in South East Asia , it's very easy and cheap to jump to another place
-Multi racial : Malaysian people are mostly : Malay (the native) , chinese and indian so it is really interesting.
-and many more hope you have to discover by yourself

After many years i can understand Malay , speak a little bit (not so bad) , chinese still very difficult and chinese people here speak : mandarin , cantonese and okien so not really easy to pickup one.

Cheers

Didier
