Smile How long to Georgetown

The drive is certainly less than 45 minutes however its not a very good road, lots of bends and some single lanes, not recommended after a couple of beers or at night, Malaysians do not turn their lights on in heavy rain so it can be a bit hairy (afraid to run the battery down I was told by one).
Lots of foreigners now buying on the Gold coast, I can be in Georgetown in 12 minutes using the Jeletong Espressway and the airport in 10.

I removed an e-mail address from a post because itis never a good idea to put an e-mail address in plain text in a forum. It's far too easy for spam engines to find. You can use the PM facility or e-mail by clicking on the poster's id and choosing from the dropdown box.

Hi everyone!

Are there any or many Singaporeans living in Malaysia under the MM2H plan? I am very keen to live in Penang, Malaysia, to get away from the rising cost of living in Singapore. I have retired recently, and Malaysia is no stranger to me. I think I spent more time and money in Malaysia than back home LOL!!!

cheers!

G'day, I'm another foreigner who's invested in a condo in Penang. I haven't met any Singaporean expats there but I guess they are around. I very nearly bought in Singapore last year but decided that the cost was just ridiculously too much.

All the best,

Too right.

Just picked up my keys last Saturday and hope to start fitting out very soon. It's all good.
