Is Tesco On Nut food court open this week?

Apparently the app never gets updated and never functions anymore so I deleted it. 

You could just look at their website

I have a Malaysian MM2H visa so I know the requirements very well. I didn't say that was the only requirement just the cost of the visa. This thread is about the positive and/or negative aspects of life in Malaysia not about the details of obtaining a MM2H visa.

No, it is  about trying to get  any , and all, information about going to, and staying possibly long-term in Malaysia.

By looking at your post , anyone  would get the impression that that  is all  that is  required to legally stay there.

My mistake, it was actually 900RM. RM90 x 10 years

No. Your " mistake " is in thinking that all we need to do in order to legally live in Malaysia for 10 years is to pay 900 RM for a visa. If that were all that was required then there would be millions of westerners going for it!  Do you not understand the requirements for the MM2H ?

been there many times …. the only good area is Butik Bitang where the expat bars are.

You are really showing your intellectual level. 

Sorry to say, I always see Malaysia as a little backward. I have travelled independently all over the mainland, everything seems a little inconvenient, its not so accessible as Thailand, always seems a little dirty. Certainly, I (along with thousands of Malays that leave there every weekend) think we get better value for money living here. For me, I’m interested in tech, internet, etc, so I look at the speeds, mobile packages, prices of things, accessibility of things, we do far better here.
 
Its very far from a true multicultural experience, the Chinese and Indians have a long history of being rough ridden by the Malays. I live on the Malay border, I can easily go visit, but rarely do these days, been to the Cameron’s a few times, Penang for an Indian curry, explored the national parks off road (visited the ethnic minorities living in the jungle, all being converted to Islam)  
 
Outside of Penang and KL, English isn’t so widely spoken apart from when you stumble on these Chinese trading towns. 
 
Most of the inconveniences I find are outside Penang and KL, which is off topic, so I won’t go into detail. 
 
Just interested to hear why the OP considers Malaysia, is it in reaction to visa regulations or a genuine interest.  

Hi. Does anyone know if after the 90 days are over I could go back into Thailand for a day and then re-enter Malaysia and get another 90 days ? Of course I know they don't let people do that repeatedly. I would just like to be able to stay 5 or 6 months.

Malaysia has a lot to like.

Malaysians are much less xenophobic than Thais. It is a multi-cultural society and people get along for the most part. Malaysians are more polite and courteous to other people. Kuching in East Malaysia even more so and Malays are the minority (23%). Most people with any education speak English. It is possible to have intelligent conversations with random people. Most Thais have no real interest in anything outside their little world. The variety of good food at reasonable prices is much larger. There is the local Malay, Indian and Chinese but also other food from all over the world. Very easy for foreigners to setup and work in their own business. Malaysians will never make up random excuses to not provide services to a foreigner. 

 

Civilised 90-day visa exempt entry.  

You can get a 10 year visa. Period. Cost is 650RM. No re-entry permit non-sense. No 90 day reporting. No reporting every time you stay a night in a hotel or friends house. No reporting when you come back home.

The financial requirements are harder and a 150,000 RM (over 50) or 300,000 RM (under 50) lock-in term deposit is required. 50,000 RM may be withdrawn after one year for house/condo purchase or medical expenses. Very easy to get 3% interest. So if you have a hard time putting together 800,000 baht then it is not for you.

 

You can buy property. However, there is a minimum price of 1M RM and 500,000 RM in Penang.

Most condos are 2 or 3 bedroom.

 

Local beer and alcohol can be more expensive. However, imported beer can be cheaper. You can get a pint of Guinness for 160 baht at a bar in KL or Penang. Langkawi is a duty free area so can buy a bottle of liqueur at a good price but can only take one bottle off the island.

 

The infrastructure is much superior.

 

 

 

ou can get a 10 year visa. Period. Cost is 650RM

How could you possibly get a 10 year visa for 650 rm??

Well guess what !  Great news !!

I remembered that originally we were supposed to  only use Firefox. normally I just use google chrome.

Well, I just downloaded Firefox and tried it again, and Voila, it works !

Every time I finish the 1st page and try to  continue, it just keeps saying:

"For further information regarding The 90-day Notification Report Service, please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area.''

Normally it always works fine . I don't understand

Utter nonsense. 

Yes, you are. 

Have you been to Penang ? Are there still local residents or is it all just tourists?

I didn't have any problem with it .

You are proudly announcing your insecurity. And I don't have fetishes,( I won't repeat your crude wording),that's your thing.
I was simply asking about people's experience in Malaysia.

Don't bother with that legal crap. The great thing about Muslim guys is they don't pay any attention to that crap They just DO it anyway , including the mullahs, as everyone knows ! And they are clean too. Circumcised.

Did you seriously need to reference Wikipedia?

It seems that people have become so programmed and stupid that they don't even know how to cruise and pick up anymore.

You're imagining things. I remember my first time in Thailand in 2005 it was still pretty good in Lumpini Park. Totally dead when I returned in 2012.

Has anyone else checked out the cruising there? Someone commented here a couple of years ago that it's far better than Thailand which is easy to believe seeing that there is almost no cruising anywhere here.

I like Penang. Could happily live there. Nice people , nice beaches, good food.
 
However, if prostitutes are an important part of your life then it sucks more than the aforementioned.

Right. That's more like the impression I get from what I have found out on the internet

I kinda dislike Malaysia also I have rarely met any Thailand expats who do think its an interesting Country for living.
