Hey everyone, Pets are an integral part of a lot of families. So much so that they would never consider moving abroad without them. Before doing so, it would be important to know the pet culture in Malaysia just to make sure that their little ...
As a rule of thumb, if you want to live in a condo, you can't have pets. If you want pets, you live in a house. Houses are usually slightly cheaper than condos and more roomy. Ideally, you pick a quiet mixed neighbourhood where you see others ... Read More
