Will I save money living in Penang?
We asked expats if they save money living in Penang. They said...
"Living in Penang can be significantly cheaper than living in the United States. The cost of living in Penang is generally lower than in the US, with rent, food, and transportation being much more affordable. Additionally, the Malaysian currency, the Ringgit, is weaker than the US Dollar, meaning that your money will go further in Penang than it would in the US," commented one expat who made the move to Penang, Malaysia.
