For the same rent, an apartment in the high-income area in KL would be three times the size of one in Dublin and have access to swimming pool, gym etc on site. Besides, the cost of living, is much lower.Border conflicts and internal issues, combined with high levels of crime, make many other countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Indonesia less appealing relocation destinations." The orientation of the survey appears to be from a US/European perspective. Cold European winters would not be everyone's cup of tea!</blockquote>
