With great weather, natural beauty, a low cost of living and a favourable tax regime, Malaysia is a tempting destination for retirees. Furthermore, due to its British heritage and the fact that most children learn English from early grades in school, there is really no language barrier. It is a lovely country, with gorgeous beaches, stunning verdant rainforests, soaring mountains, and a spectacular capital, Kuala Lumpur. Strategically located for travel, there are more than a dozen countries within a two-or three-hour flight. Capital flow restrictions are also minimal, which is crucial for retirees with assets abroad.
