Everywhere in the world Tier 1 city like Singapore or KL are magnet for the talented, the rich, the smart and young ones to move to

But I want to ask those who stay in Penang, JB and Melaka alike…why do you stay in these lower Tiered 2 or 3 cities?

Is it because you are poor, not so smart, too old and lazy to compete?

datang lagi ts why tered.

Please don go to Penang!
Everyday jam kaw kaw!

How do you rate Tier 1,2,3 etc?

JB and Georgetown can consider Tier 1 from their economy, living standard and population.

There aren't that many cities in Malaysia.

So tier 1 according to you is just kl and pj. Others is tier 2 already lol?

Penang and jb cost of living also similar to tier1

Job opportunity and demographic la.

Engineering electronic jobs where to find in KL
Likewise finance job where to find in Penang

Thought there is Aaron Kwok song that starts " tell me why...."

Sohai TS uses sohai CCP "tier base city ranking" standard to categorise Malaysia cities

Everywhere in the world, higher tier people spent their time on working towards improving their lives or of others by creating and doing something useful.

Why do you spent so much time here?
Is it because you are poor, not so smart, too old and lazy to compete?
