Hi PicMas,
I worked in Mallaca for just under 1 year bf moving to my current job based in KL. I think you will enjoy working there alot. Living there is cheaper than KL. A few of my ex colleagues are renting furnished apts for 750 to 1000 ringgit per month, my old place was slightly more. You can rent fully furnished and serviced apts for 850+ but we all left there for various reasons. Its also a safe place, night life is a bit quiet compared to KL but good. Medical advice is: Dont worry to much about Malaria, Dengue fever is arguably more common, Its not really a hotspot there. Suggest you talk to your GP especially if you are bringing any littleones out. Usual shots are hep A, Typhoid, Tetanus boost if required, Polio myolitis. Again your GP will advise better than me,
If you move out, enjoy, Regards,
