Additional points for concern :
1. Exchange control
Without approval from Government you cannot remit $ out of Malaysia. This has been implemented since around 1998 Asian financial crisis.
2. Value added tax
Even if your flat / house / property rises in value and you earn $$$, you must settle and pay value added tax before you can remit $ out of Malaysia.
3. Law and order
Apart from corruption, pls check local newspaper for local news.
