got a job offer in KL any advice on schools and houses by j0amelie
Hi All, I know you get a lot of these questions so sorry! I have been offered a job in KL at a salary rate of 25000RM/month. What tax will I have to pay on this? I know housing is expensive in KL, and we'll still have to send some money back to ...
Hi Jo, Tax rate is approx. 30-33% on that base. You should do fine with those sort of MYR's, but I guess that depends on how much you need to cover your UK mortgage. Living wise any of the suggestions above are good. Read More

Hi, my name is Kat. I have been to Malaysia several times as my parents used to live there and I have lived extensively in other parts of Asia before so I am quite familiar with the various cultures and traditions. However, when we lived in Asia and ...
Hi Kylsznn, I would highly recommend this pet relocation service. We relocated from Indianapolis to KL with our 4 yr old Beagle 18mths ago. I would say Max got better treatment than we did on his flights. He traveled via Chicago and Amsterdam (rest ... Read More

Yes, I will ultimately return home to Australia. Miss it & love it 4 yrs after leaving, but will probably post to Switzerland for another 5 yrs first. Read More

There are plenty of affordable food options in KL so that shouldn't be a problem. Housing costs really depend on where you want to live and condo vs a bungalow etc. Alcohol is "very" expensive as it attracts a big import tax. Beer is very affordable ... Read More

Not so sure I agree with a lot of Julien's comments, my husband having been a snatch victim which resulted in knee surgery, home burglaries in our complex resulting in a woman being hit over the head and slashed with a knife and the list goes on. We ... Read More
Moving to Kuala Lumpur by Rich_uk
I'm looking to move to Kuala Lumpur in six weeks to work. It's a pretty daunting prospect seems i know very little about the city. Does anyone have any advice on good areas to live? I think i'm going to be pretty busy with my job during the week ...
You need to choose an area that will afford you easy access to your office location. Once you know that, then you can decide e.g. Mont Kiara, Damansara, etc. Lots of city bars and clubs to frequent plus a large exp-pat community. Read More
