when you retire to Malaysia,my advice is that you DO NOT buy a
property there. Just rent one say in Port Dickson or near Malacca
as the rental of those single storey terrace houses are cheap(not
more tha S$100!). Stay there as long as you want and if you fancy
another location like Penang, Lumut, Ipoh, Cameron Highland,
Genting or KL,move where you want to go and rent a small flat for
one or two hundred ringgits per month. Just move around any part of
Malaysia until you 'jelak' then move on to another location without
having to get stuck by owning a property in one location. To buy
one property in Malaysia is very easy, just pay only!BUT when you
want to sell it, you may have to wait until kingdom comes or you
want to sell it half price!!!
Security is not a problem if you stay humble and be alert at all
time. Talk and behave or dress like one of them and you are safe
like another Malaysian!
When you want to stay in Malaysia, do not bother what Dr.
Maharatail said, just enjoy yourself and be happy, keep your
Singapore citizenship and return to Singapore once in a while. for

No doubt China and Thailand have better exchange rates but it is
too far and not convenient in case you feel home sick and decided
to return!Your main intention is to stretch your S$$$$$ in case GST
goes up to 10% and above!
Most middle income and lower income groups are feeling the heat in
the past couple of years living in Singapore!Many are trying hard
to keep their heads above water. Many heartlanders are feeling
desperate as Transport fares, gst, PUB and the general cost of
living are escalating but their pays,CPF are either cut or
stagnant, some do not even able to find a job!Many find MRT track
attractive, others look to the high HDB to end their miserable
lives!So an alternative route to a happy living may be moving to
the nearest north to stretch your miserable dollars and find some
solace there instead of having to whine and face the $$$ loving
system in Singapore!
