Would retirement neighbourhoods work in Malaysia? Yes and No

LINCOLN, California/KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 12): Rows and rows of neat and stylish bungalows with impeccable lawns dot the wide, quiet roads. In the driveway, there are sedans and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs). But there are no tricycles or children’s bikes anywhere in sight in this neighbourhood. Instead, golf carts pepper the driveway. At the Orchard Creek Lodge in the middle of the neighbourhood, white and grey heads dominate. The message is clear: this is not a place where the young live. But neither is this a place where the elderly go to die.
