I saw very few ex-pats whilst I was there. There were a few people from Britain working there, either on short-term like I was, or longer term for a year or two. There were also a couple of New Zealanders and a spotting of Americans but it was mostly Chinese and Indian in the business community.

Petaling Jaya seemed to be a bit more likely to have an expat community. I went out with friends there on a couple of occasions, it was good fun.

I've no idea about retirement, I suspect that it is not really a retirement area.
