Did you know that Malaysia is considered one of the most retirement-friendly countries in the world?

According to a research study by International Living, Malaysia is listed as one of the top 5 retirement destinations in the world. Based on their 2018 Annual Global Retirement Index, Malaysia sits firmly at fifth place – less than four points behind the first place Costa Rica.

But why is Malaysia so popular?

According to International Living’s Malaysian correspondent Keith Hockton, one of the big reasons is that Malaysia provides more “bang-for-your-buck”. As the only Asian country to make it into the top 10, Malaysia scored particularly highly when it came to “governance” and “renting”.

As a tropical, English speaking country with First World level facilities and a reputation as a food haven where you can enjoy amazing meals every day without breaking the bank, Malaysia naturally attracts a lot of attention from older American or European retirees.

In addition, Malaysia’s healthcare system is also fairly robust and affordable compared to places like the US (for example, a knee replacement procedure that costs US$4, 000 in Malaysia would cost approximately US$45, 000 or more if you had it done in the United States).

As such, there are plenty of good quality nursing homes in the country. Whether you’re looking for a place for your parents or planning ahead for your own retirement, this list of the top 10 nursing homes in KL and Selangor is sure to come in handy.
