Universiti Malaysia Kelantan deputy vice-chancellor, Prof Datuk Dr Nik Maheran Nik Muhammad, said it is no surprise that the country is listed among the top 10, given its unique ambience capable of attracting expatriates to settle here.
"Malaysia offers a highly versatile environment, where individuals can choose whether to settle in rapidly developing urban areas or in rural regions to enjoy natural surroundings, spanning from Kuala Lumpur to Sabah,” she said.
In February, International Living’s Annual Global Retirement Index 2024 listed Malaysia as among the 10 best places to retire, surpassing France and Colombia, which ranked 9th and 10th, respectively.
