Malaysia has been on our short list for a long time. You may recall that I have written about Penang, considering it as a future place of residence. And one to consider recommending to others.
This is thanks to a recommendation from a long standing Obris member. Robert and his family reside in Penang where they enjoy a phenomenal way of life with a relatively low cost of living.<\/span>
Marvin has longed to share his native land with us – Kuala Lumpur in particular. He is also eager to share several prospective investments that we have been vetting in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n
Malaysia is best known for its multicultural society, diverse culinary scene and its nature – stunning beaches, national parks and historical significance including four UNESCO World Heritage sites.<\/span><\/p>\n
The country is divided into two distinct areas: Peninsular Malaysia directly north of Singapore and East Malaysia on Borneo’s northeast coast. The two regions are separated by the South China Sea.
With a population of 33.57 million people, the country’s three largest ethnic groups include Malays (60%), Chinese (20%) and Indians (9%).<\/p>\nTHE MEETUP<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Most of us refer to Malaysia’s capital and business center merely as K.L. \u00a0This Southeast Asia hub can be reached from Bangkok and Singapore with a short one hour flight. <\/span>
Our home will be the JW Marriott in the Bukit Bintang district – known for upscale malls, sidewalk cafes, al fresco bars and live music clubs. <\/span><\/p>\n
Georgetown is on the island of Penang a few hours north of K.L. by car. It is a hub for foodies, adventurers and expatriates including those who are taking advantage of the MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) visa that we will explore. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/strong>We experimented with a three part daily schedule in Istanbul earlier this year. Participants appreciated the balance of content, exploration and connecting – all key traits for which we strive with every Obris event.<\/span><\/p>\n
