Popular destinations include Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and the Perhentian Islands. Hospitality work is multicultural, and Malay, English, Mandarin and Tamil are commonly heard. Life ranges from busy, affordable cities to relaxed coastal communities, with warm weather, diverse food and generally good transport in urban areas.
