Ipoh ranked among world's best places to retire - The Sun

24 April 2014
PETALING JAYA: It is rather interesting to note that Ipoh has been named as one of the nine best places to retire in the world.
It is also the world's third most affordable, after Vietnam and Thailand.
This was revealed in US News, a recognised leader in college, graduate school, hospital, mutual fund and car rankings.
It said Ipoh is an increasingly popular retirement haven among Malaysians, who claim its fresh air, clean water and relaxing lifestyle not only improves the quality of life but also promotes longevity.
Foreign retirees are beginning to take note.
Despite having a population of more than half a million, Ipoh feels like a small town. You can expect first-world healthcare and a modern infrastructure but no overcrowded city centre packed with skyscrapers and high-rises.
Friendly locals speak English, making it easy to assimilate, and lenient immigration policies make Malaysia an easy country to live in full or part time.
