Considering a move from U. S. to Malaysia

I am retiring from a part time job in the US, and want to move to Malaysia, with my wife.  We are traveling to
Viet Nam, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore in September to check out life in Asia.  My wife is Vietnamese, and is familiar with that country.  In reading about Malaysia, it seems like a good place to retire. 
I will most likely try to do some technical consulting work to keep from getting bored with retired life.
I love to play cards and backgammon.  Does anyone there play backgammon?

Sounds like the MM2H programme may be an option for you both, as you will need some kind of "Pass" to live in Malaysia.

See under "Home" how you qualify for the 10 year social visit pass under MM2H.
