Those who want to retire in Malaysia, make sure you go to safe places like Malacca, Langkawi, Penang. Don't retire in JB, you will live in fear. Better be safe than sorry. Also don't buy but just rent, you can simply move to another place if you don't like the place. If you buy, then you cannot move. In Malaysia, there is a big property oversupply, especially in Iskandar, you can buy but cannot sell. Those who bought in Iskandar are now panicking, especially those who are greedy and bought many units.
