What retirement looks like here
A day in Labuan.
Labuan is compact (a single island plus a few satellites) with a population under 100,000. Best suited to retirees with specific reasons to be there — financial-sector ties or preferences for a small, quiet island life. Medical specialist care usually requires a flight to KK or KL.
