Life is generally affordable compared with many global cities, although accommodation in resort areas and Kuala Lumpur can be costly. Malaysia has a multicultural society shaped by Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Indigenous communities, with diverse food, festivals, languages, and religions. Employees can enjoy beaches, rainforests, diving, island trips, and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle.
