Qatar: Are the malls really like this is in Qatar?:

Yes they are. It is very sad to see this. The reason for doing that was told not to get the mall crowded by this people. But to me it is a pure rubbish and plain racism....

Malaysia: Mortgage for Expat moving to KL:

Good Day; I am sure it is possible. I remember in 2002 while doing a project in Penang, an Expat Engineer working with us, bought a condominium in Penang. The friend of mine still owns the property and at the moment is renting out the condominium since he is now working somewhere in this world. Most Expat will be asked to open a local bank account for their salary monthly payment. Most mortgages will be given if your balance of income after the mortgage deduction is more than half. Meaning that you still have some amount of disposable income for your liiving expenses. And almost all property need a 10 % downpayment, by using your own money. It seldom a 100% mortgage in Malaysia. As usual u need 3 months bank statement and letter from your employer stating your employment status, salary and etc. I am sure a lot of agents or property owner will helps you in getting a property for you. Good luck mate; Cheers;
