That's life, you get too much about something then you get bored.

I rather be in a city like KL or Penang rather than a small town like my wife’s hometown of Sibu.

Stayed there for 2 weeks before and I was thoroughly bored

WFH, so it's OK.

If I have to drive every day, would move to another town.

take grab lor if bus services suck.

need to find solution for ownself.

Kita tolong sendiri.

I basically live in kampung in my own built house, 20km from city center.
Never gonna commute again unless for a meeting.

Work from home better. Built my own office studio in one of the spare rooms

You are one of the few lucky one. I am still working as kuli for the money lah.

I also prefer city as it is more merrier especially for foreveralone but only if the people is friendly and can be friends easily but Malaysia people hard. Friendly yes but friend hard. Jakarta people there easily make friends if you are conversational in their language. Just few trips there and we even exchange phone number already.

ayam loled at this..hahahah..exactly my sentiments at setapak

best ka bro shah aley...house still cheap kot

Last time i can see all the green mountains in melawati from my house in setapak. Now i can only see condos

go for a short trip getaway

retire in kampung may need a good internet. unless ur into kampung life with farming/gardening/plantation or having pets

I've work for the government for 10 years, before that work in a few companies short term.
Then I decided to start my own company with the skill and connection I've had developed for 30 years

You have to start somewhere.
I've been a waiter, a laborer (angkat pasir & tanah), supermarket worker, data entry, event management and I work in MOSTI for long term.

Sorry, I don't get that feeling at all.

Traffic jam not an issue, use motorcycle and drive during off peak.

Malls? Don't go to that normie shit. Greenery? I live in the suburbs, so it's quite peaceful, just sounds of birds. Mostly stay with kafir, so it's very peaceful too.


I give u tip, find the highly kafir populated area and you will have peace of mind

mine is as good as it gets, can play games at 25 ping.

It is 10 minutes to the beach, at the foot of a mountain, near national parks.
There's literally a crocodile warning signs in my village, that is how close we are with nature.

5 minutes drive, there's a hypermarket, clinics, ATM, pet shop, petrol station, bengkel, barber, wet market, food court/mapley and so forth.
The only problem is there are no banks and post office. City center is 15-20 km away.

traffic jam wearing you down? you all need to ditch your cars and take public transport. last mile connectivity? walking ~15mins is normal.
door to door time is about the same no matter go back early or late.
if tired at work, just go home straight. if got energy, can window shop first.

Try Ipoh. Sufficient medical centers, peaceful with natural beauty and affordable cost of living.

if it is you alone then ok.

If u have a family, they may need to live near the city.

i bought a house near mrt that save me from driving to work.

I understand TS. It's not that we want to stay ultra remote area like Sungkai, Segamat for someone saying it's going to be boring.

No it's not.

I WFH fully but I still live in KL due to purchased commitment i.e. mortgage, etc. Me and wife plan reach 45-50 we will move somewhere that:

- Sub-Urban with good quality environment
- Internet Access
- Convenient in terms of accessibility i.e. Hospital, Malls, Hawker food Pasar etc

So since me and wife born in North Malaysia, we are deciding either Ipoh, Batu Kawan, or Alor Setar.


Also TS, since I WFH, i can tell u my experienced staying outside KL like 1-2 months. It is amazing man. I felt my body feel refreshed, living outside KL, people are not so individualistic, you can talk to random people etc and I like the energy.

And you should too.

now most of the kampung got good internet coverage, you just need some best friend come out chit chat.
