IIRC, there is a minimum RM 2mil entry for expats looking to purchase a property here.

It's RM1 mil.

QUOTE
Foreign ownership of property is liberal (foreigners can even own 100% of the property) in Malaysia as long as minimum requirements are met. In law, foreigners can own any type of properties with the exception of:

Properties valued less than RM1 million
Low and medium cost residential units as defined by state authority
Properties standing on Malay Reserved land
Properties distributed to Bumiputera interest in any property development project as determined by state authority

Assume u're pure hongki chinese descendent, aim landed property. Something you would never be and ever to get in HK. U can stay at Kajang/Cheras/Sunway/USJ for higher concentration of chinese area.

Btw what makes u think of retiring in Msia if i may ask?

So how much do we need in order to survive in Kl if 1.5m is nothing in Kl?

no commitment?
1.5mil for living fee only?
there is a reason i asked about your age
do you have insurance?
do you have prop?
do you have car?
if 1.5M to cover all above and your living fee..and you are semi retired..is a joke man...

Sorry, my original post was not well written and misleading. I have set aside money for living, insurance, car, traveling, etc.

1.5M is purely for buying a property for investment or living. As I am not sure when exactly I will move here, I am open to places for investment or living.

This is an interesting topic. It really depends on how one live their life. If you live like Rosmah, then sure 1.5m is not enough for a month but 1.5m can be comfortable if one have no liabilities.

Comparing with HK, Malaysia is a very good place for retirement to HK people:
1. cheaper living cost and housng
2. Cantonese or English speaking
3. Easy MM2H requirements
4. Close to HK
5. British systems
6. Warm weather

Of course, there are disadvantages. However, there are disadvantages in all places. The key disadvantages to HK people are:
1. Crime
2. Race-biased government policy

Cantonese is more common in KL & surrounding areas. Other states mandarin is a safer bet. Then again, majority of the other ethnic groups would not understand you. Leaving the urban area, English might not be usable as well, but otherwise you should be good.

Advisable to go for gated & guarded units or high rise, it is not uncommon for robberies/snatch thief to happen right in front of your house.

i don't understand.

say assuming if they utilise 500k to purchase an accomodation, leaving RM1mil capital.

what are the investments with monthly fixed return option available that's fixed for life?
say 4% of RM1mil is approx RM40k p.a.
enough for 2 for life not taking inflation into account?

1. Investment: good rental return + capital gain

or

2. Living: 2 persons without kids; semi-retired life

For landed properties, do you mean houses? For investment, are they better than condos?

Landed got many type. Some type don’t even have land for you to do gardening. The car posh area Enough park 1 or 2 cars. No extra land for gardening.

Buy condo for future appreciation? If in kl and kv. Better buy landed. Unless you got not enough $ then buy condo in kl.

If you bought landed kl or kv after 10 years sure happy. Of coz not so far till semenyih.

If Condo you may cry after 10 years

You are asking a blank here.

Suggest you either spend a month or two here or best, rent a place for 6mths or so, slowly getting use tthe area, talk to people b4 cheong.

I dunno yr financial status and i am not sure of 1.5mil is just a small investment or yr lifetime saving.
