Expats in Asia

I was watching a programme last night about expatriates in Asia. Most of them have made cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong their home and seem to love it there. I found it a little sad though that most of them don't view KL as a dynamic city to be in. I guess many people are worried with the recent political instability and unfair practices. However, I do believe there are still opportunities there if you look hard enough. What do you think?
