Hi all,

Thanks for your posts! Malaysia is also on my list of places to retire. I would appreciate any feedback on the following issues:

I understand expats can buy a home [or small plot of ground and build] is this correct?

Can we reasonably get my speaking only English?

Are we allowed to bring our personal effects into Malaysia? If so, are their costs involved?

I would love to find my 'significant other' - is that a reasonable expectation in Malaysia?

I know the country is predominantly Islamic. Is that a problem on such issues as wine or bacon or [ouch] sex?

Thanks for any and all feedback and suggestions!

Serendipity2
