In Singapore this week, gained a few pounds in just couple of days already. Manalysia in couple of weeks.
Everyone knows the food in Malaysia is better than in Singapore!!!
I’ll be in KL & Penang to see if that’s true or not. Are you in Penang or JB typically?
In terms of local food, Malaysia hands down. My bro-inlaw is married to a foodie Singapore woman and she readily gives Malaysia the nod. I am still in the US slaving away another year before heading to my seaview condo in Penang. Timing is perfect since my tenant’s lease is over in May, 2026. I am often in JB when going there since my mother and father inlaws are there. I feel you will find KL to be quite similar to Singapore. KL is just another concrete jungle, so has no appeal to me at all. Unfortunately, Penang is getting busy too, so good thing I am in the North where it is more remote.
First of all, these are world beaters, they aren’t actually living amongst the masses in Singapore and driving themselves or buying groceries, right? They have people doing everything for them and probably they are traveling a lot. Quite a different lifestyle from the masses who are stressed out from work and rising costs.
AGAIN, my bro-inlaw lives in Singapore and owns a HDB and has a car (yes, the high COE) and he said he and his wife, a Singaporean native, would have moved to Malaysia a long time ago if NOT for their kids who “demanded” to stay. The fact is, across the border is no longer the stigma it once was. That is fact!!! And once the fast train is online, I suspect even more migration to Malaysia and beyond will happen.
