Why study, intern, volunteer or work temporarily in Malaysia?
- Malaysia is several countries in one, due to its mixed population of Malaysians, Indians and Chinese. The many islands on both the east and west coasts are real draws. Kuala Lumpur is not only booming as a business center, but is also a fun and, above all, welcoming city. In short, Malaysia guarantees culture, sun, delicious food and drink and friendly people.
- Because there are a number of reputable universities in Malaysia, offering a wide range of courses.
- The quality of education is comparable to that in Europe and the United States.
- The cost of education is often a lot lower than in the Netherlands.
- The price of living is significantly higher than in neighboring countries.
- The lack of transportation infrastructure, therefore it can be more difficult to get to certain parts of the country.
- The climate is quite hot and humid.
Why live in Malaysia as an expat, emigrant or working nomad?
- Because English is the second language of communication, and that everyone in business speaks English.
- The cost of living is relatively low.
- The Malaysian economy is growing with good job opportunities.
- The food is affordable and diverse. Besides Malay, Chinese and Indian, you can also find Western dishes.
- That alcohol and non-halal food is not easily available everywhere.
- That visa application procedures are complicated.
- Speak a word of Malay, that makes your life a lot easier.
