>>529516409Yeah but the fishy B.O.band stank of all the black teeth yellow Chang's would be unbearable
>>529516409Malaysia looks like a Singapore at a discount, that's why I like it. I would like to move there once I get my doctor's license.
>>529516409I've heard about Malaysia as a low cost of living place. It doesn't have the stank of prostitution like Thailand or Vietnam (could be a downside for some people). Basically there's 10-20 year investor visas, but I think the cost went up recently since so many people were moving there.
>>529518805It's not that hard you just need to buy a property and have $150k in the account, and you can easily be granted a silver grade MM2H visa
>>529516409Don't go to Malaysia. It's shit. Go to Bangkok or Bali. There's a reason those are the places everyone talks about. Malaysia also has a bunch of fat raghead women and pajeets everywhere. You don't want to live with pajeets, do you? You also can buy weed and hookers in Thailand. Even Vietnam or the Philippines are better.
I want to move there but I'm a fucking NEET. Wish I had a remote job or if I was a doctor I could easily move there. I hate it here in the UK. Life is so depressing
>>529518805Property is pretty expensive especially in the big cities but like u say food and transportation is dirt cheap. Also u have to keep in mind that malaysia is a country that follow sharia law degenerate coomers still get executed there.
>>529516409fuck off we are full, stay in your westoid shithole
>>529520507>Go to Bangkok or Bali>t. don't know shit about SEAThailand literally has an HIV epidemic due to an influx of Rusniggers recently and the cost of living has been pretty much at the same level as the west so not worth it. Also, Bali has banned sexual relationships outside of marriage, plus Indonesia is a shithole.
>>529521384And in Malaysia you will be beheaded by a girl's brothers/father for sleeping with them. It's a muslim shithole.
>>529516409>work a few years>get good credit score>ask for the biggest loan you can>move to Malaysia or Thailand and retire forever>never pay the loanI wonder why not more americans do this
>>529521717>And in Malaysia you will be beheaded by a girl's brothers/father for sleeping with them.If you want to marry a muslim girl, you have to become a muslim. Otherwise, just stay out of the business. You can date Chinese Malays but that's as far as you can get.
>>529522348Americans are mostly half muslim to start with (circumcised). Not a big step.
