Ipoh might just be the perfect place for you, as suggested by www.usnews.com.
The sleepy city is one of the nine best places in the world to retire as it offers "first-world health care and a modern infrastructure but no overcrowded city center packed with skyscrapers and high-rises".
The report said the city is an increasingly popular retirement haven among Malaysians, who claim its fresh air, clean water and relaxing lifestyle not only improve the quality of life but also promote longevity.
And the testimony has opened the eyes of many foreign retirees, beginning to take note.
Friendly locals speak English, making it easy to assimilate, and lenient immigration policies make Malaysia an easy country to live in full or part time.
The writer, Kathleen Peddicord said a monthly budget of USD897 (RM2,906) is needed to live comfortably
Also listed in the nine are Nha Trang, Vietnam, Chiang Rai, Thailand, Dumaguete, Philippines, T! he Americas Cayo, Belize, Loja, Ecuador, Granada, Nicaragua, Tralee, Ireland, Carcassonne, France.
