I have mention before that from personal experience, I find the quality of living over in MY is pretty good.  I go into MY 1-2 weeks every month for leisure.  The people there are more service oriented and courteous. English or Mandarin not a problem with most of their people,.   Food and shopping-wise I need not say more, otherwise why would people jam the causeway every weekend...😆

i think is ok too....but a few things for us Sporean need to change our habit, we have to be "street smart" else sure kena hentam...

Just do the sensible things. For eg,  don't be arrogant, don't annoy others by being inconsiderate, don't brag,  don't be rude, don't flaunt luxuries.  Be polite and be sensitive to their people and culture.

And most importantly respect their law just like how we would respect our laws here.

In short, don't make oneself a target of despise or petty crimes when traveling. 

In all my visits to MY, there is not one moment that I would feel less safe compared to SG.

They pretend to be FIRE but escape to Malaysia to manage cost and do social media and sell course?

Ppl could be FIRE but bored.

In a way, there are more things to do in Msia than Sg.

Don't believe? Ask @Stary

Recently went to Johor first time after many many years. 
The malls are huge and not crowded at all.  There was no queue anywhere so the overall trip was smoother than expected due to VEP.  
 

if trips to johor can be as smooth and pleasant like that then its worthwhile visiting every now and then

the VEP seems to be working!😂

They retired at 40, sure a bit bored after a few years.  

Instead of going back to the rat race, they choose to run a business. Not too bad, learn something new, own time own target and give new purpose.  

So what new hobbies/ commitments did you pick up after you fully retired?
