I live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Pros: Excellent food, high English proficiency, cultural diversity, and a growing tech scene. It's easy to start a non-VC backed company with good success potential. Cons: Middle-income trap making retirement challenging, high sin tax, legal work discrimination, and some political and racial tension. Mixed: Tolerance for LGBT+ but not full acceptance. Crime is comparable to Canada but generally less concerning in gentrified areas. Overall, it's a vibrant city with a mix of challenges and opportunities.
