Is Malaysia Ready To Accommodate Digital Nomads?

Southeast Asia has become ground zero for the digital nomad movement, with hotspots like Bali and Bangkok leading the way. But is Malaysia keeping up? From the rollout of digital nomad visas to a growing network of co-working spaces, the pieces are starting to fall into place. Still, questions remain about whether the country is ready to compete with its neighbours, and what role local startups might play in shaping a remote-first future. Gary Bowerman, Co-Founder at High-Yield Tourism, joins the conversation.
