Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur's higher education is not cheap by the standards of East Asia's developing cities, which may harm its competitiveness on the regional stage. On the other hand, it offers a very positive environment for financial investors, being open and likely to see strong economic growth in coming years. Real estate trends have likewise been positive to date, but some restrictions still affect overseas buyers.
