In the United States demographics project a minority majority by 2050, chief reasons being the rapid immigration of Hispanics and the relatively low birth rate of the other ethnic groups. Unless...

Re: When will Internet data caps ceased to be the norm in New Zealand?

To clarify, the question is, when will data caps largely be a thing of the past in New Zealand? This question was spurred by an interesting point made on New Zealand's Wikipedia page. It said 92% of...

Could New Zealand grow to a population of 100 million one day?

By land area Japan has roughly 33% more land than New Zealand. And given that Japan has 127 million people, that means New Zealand is not a small place either. Can you guys see the country one day...

When will Internet data caps ceased to be the norm in New Zealand?

I heard that the New Zealand government is pushing for 75% of the country to have access to 100 Mb fiber optic Internet speeds by 2019. Does that mean the data caps are likely to fade away by then?...

Hi, I'm unfamiliar with borrowing money outside of my home country of the United States.

I am currently reading into this and see strong arguments on both sides of the debate.

For those of you living here, do you think Malaysia displays more of the qualities of a nonsecular/religious...

Re: Disappointed

You say you prefer a country with equal justice but is that really true? Is there no glass ceiling effect in your current country? No corruption at all?

How many expats live in Malaysia?

I've heard that over 1 million ex-pats live in Thailand. Not sure if that number is true, it sounds a bit high in my opinion. On the other hand, after living here I can see why this country would...

Sad that such "morality raids" still happen in this day and age. Malaysia has so many things I admire, not the least of which being the Asian culture, beautiful women, low living costs, I could go on...

Re: MM2H - what's the attraction of Malaysia for retirement?

For me the predominant factor was simply the Asian culture. I'm in Bangkok and the people don't yell at each other (although I have heard it a few time from ex-pats), there is less honking of horns,...

Re: "Labuan route" vs. MM2H

One thing I'm concerned about with the labuan route is the short term visa. I imagine it's a 1 year renewable right? If so, does it at least open a path to permanent residency in Malaysia?

Thanks for the information Jack. Did Gary specifically tell you if going the labuan route will allow you to live in Penang or Kuala Lumpur?

Re: How does Malaysia react to terrorist attacks?

I haven't been to Malaysia yet but based on the two or three Malaysians I've met in Bangkok, they seem like nice people. More cerebral and business minded than the Thais. I can't speak to my...
