Taiping, in the Perak state on the north.
Beautiful town.
The food is like heaven and cheap.

Expenses? You are paying double in KL not in Taiping.
Amenities is everywhere. (Shopping complex, Texco, Giants)
Internet by subscribing TM.
There’s some golf courses, but you have to check.
Nightlife bores you, but they have karaokes, nightclubs..i dunno.

I’m a Malaysian, used to live there.
If I wanted to retire, I’ll head back to Taiping.
Others may recommend you, good luck.
