MALAYSIA AMONG THE WORLDʼS TOP RETIREMENT HAVENS IN 2015
NEW YORK – Malaysia continues to be the ideal spot for retirees planning to seek their retirement haven abroad. In the latest Annual Global Retirement Index for 2015 produced by International Living, Malaysia was the top Asian retirement destination and ranked fourth in the world after Ecuador, Panama, and Mexico.
The report analyzed 25 countries and ranked them in categories of real estate costs, special benefits offered to retirees, entertainment and amenities, safety and stability, healthcare, climate, infrastructure, and cost of living.
The report noted Malaysiaʼs robust economy, which is reflected in the consistently high quality of living available to expats. Typical expat locations such as Kuala Lumpur and Penang offer high-quality living accommodations at affordable prices. Malaysia allows the assets of retirees to go further than they would back in the states.
Coining Malaysia as a “Great Value in a Cultural Melting Pot,” the report shows that a retiree can savor a life of luxury in the country on a modest budget.
The report also said that Malaysia makes a perfect base to explore the natural, historical, and cultural treasures that Southeast Asia has to offer. There are many flights to neighboring Asian destinations available at very reasonable prices.
English is widely spoken throughout Malaysia, which means a language barrier is not an issue. Also worthy of mention was the health care quality in Malaysia, which is comparable to that in any First-World nation as reported in the index.
