hong kong move to malaysia ?

stay in Ipoh if you want to continue to fell like you are in HK.
Almost 60-70% is cantonise in Ipoh and our cantonise almost all learned from TVB, so you can hear something similar like "很痛饿，渴Q死我，你条扑街啊"

stay in penang if you want to fell like you are in Taiwan.
majority are speaking hokkian.

let me try to put myself in your shoes:
if i from Hk and going to retire in KL with 1.5m budget, i would:
1) Get a condo at mont kiara, feel like i am in meongdong as alot korea shop and ppl there. send my kid to study in international school to kao korea mui.

2) Get a new landed property at sepang salak tinggi (serenai city,sunsuria city,warison puteri city, greenland) near to airport, so everymonth i can back HK visit relative.

3) Get a landed property at setia alam, abit outskirt but have everything you need inside that town.

don't yam him...
those low cost walk up apartment in puchong having a hard time to rent out...
for example my downstair neighbour house has been vacant for almost a year still unable to rent out/ get buyer.

collect rent in Malaysia also is a problem if rent to a bad tenant.
