We visited various educational institutions in Malaysia, including kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and universities. We also visited nursing homes, and each facility was very impressive in every way. The food is delicious, the living conditions are excellent, and the cultural atmosphere is enriching. Furthermore, English is widely spoken here, and the cost is incredibly reasonable. During our visit to Malaysia, we observed a rich blend of cultures, including Malays, Indians and Chinese. The people live harmoniously, which is wonderful.”
