Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,
It’s been really busy last few months but very exciting at the same time as well. Due to hectic schedule, I was unable to post much but I think things are settling down a bit at my end from now on wards.
I’m very happy to share that I’ve moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on permanent basis this month with my family. I also wanted to tell that I’ll continue working as domain investor as this is my sole business. So as of this month, currently I’ve 3,200 domains in portfolio.
Some might think it’s very risky to move straightaway with family and be doing only domain investing. I know it was tough decision to think of moving with family and doing solely domain investing because of the cost of living is pretty high compare to Pakistan. I tend to agree at some extent but what’s a lively life without taking any risks yeah 😉
So here I’m in Malaysia. If any domainer residing in Kuala Lumpur or any part of Malaysia, feel free to get in touch with me and we shall meet soon.
I’ll make sure to publish some of my recent past domain sales in my next post few days later so stay tuned.
Thanks for reading and feel free to comment if you like to.
Dear sir
i send email to you
Thank you James!
Will be in touch with you.
Congrats on the move Abdul! Best of luck to you and yours in your new home!! Continued success to you my friend!!
Thanks Tom for your best wishes!
Much appreciated 🙂
Apa Khabar–
go eat the King of Fruit-Durian
Pakistan is too dangerous now.
Exciting journey so far 🙂
Oh yeah the fruit is absolute best here including Durian.
Can’t disagree with you on Pakistan.
Congratulations on the move Basit but i will strongly disagree with “”Pakistan is too dangerous now””. I mean really ? !!! Thousands and thousands of well settled families are still living and thriving in Pakistan and unless there is a strong personal reason of your move to Malaysia, simply calling your own country “too dangerous” in which you lived many years is something i wasn’t expecting from a sensible person like yourself. I do hope, you moved due to economic instability that is in Pakistan right now and which will end no-matter how long it will take. Anyways, best wishes… Read more »
Thanks Fahad for your feedback which is appreciated. However, I would be happy to know if you can give at least a few reasons why not to call Pakistan is too dangerous now? Because it doesn’t mean thousands of families are well settled shows the country is stable in every aspect. Also you aren’t aware if I was happily living in Pakistan or were there any major issues for living there. I really don’t find a single reason to live in Pakistan even when I was living there and now as well for a sensible person who has the capacity… Read more »
Thanks Basit. Again completely and strongly disagree with “too dangerous”. I do hope you can understand the definition of “too dangerous” ? If there is an actual war between the two nations and everything is a mess, then obviously that situation will be called “too dangerous”. I am not saying that there is no problem in Pakistan. There are alot of problems in every aspect of lives which i am sure if i mention here, then comment section will be too short for that. But again, i will not agree on “too dangerous” ! I hope you have alot of… Read more »
Every one has their own opinion of “too dangerous” and I consider when there is any kind of risk of my and my family member lives, I consider that “too dangerous”. Some might find it funny, some take it seriously, some take actions, some just let it pass. Not sure if you’ve lived in Pakistan or not or where you’re living but I’ll stick to what I’ve said and understand things which many won’t. Though I respect your opinion at the same time and thank you for sharing.
Best wishes!
AbdulBasit is a very nice and honest guy. But i think Fahad is correct here. “too dangerous” is not a correct term. Maybe “too difficult” ? Or something like that but “too dangerous” is simply not appropriate to define whole of country. Whatever, i am just curious to know that, Basit, you didn’t have had enough facilities (clean water, electricity, good education, security, safety etc.) in Bahria Town ? I mean that society is considered to be best in Pakistan in every aspect and if that is not a suitable place for living, then where else in Pakistan ! But… Read more »
I’m not targeting any specific person here but majority of Pakistani people are corrupt in most aspects of their lives. No place is dangerous in the entire world. People are good or bad. So let me make that “too dangerous” more clearer that people of Pakistan are dangerous and not the LAND of Pakistan. It’s a life threat to be living in Pakistan. Can you simply send out your kids alone in the near by market of your house to bring any stuff and you believe he/she will come back safely? Can you go out on the road and use… Read more »
Completely understand your point Basit. I am sorry, you faced all this back in country. Yes, people are corrupt but as you said not all of them. Also, you cannot even think of sending out your kids alone in the near by market of your house in any highly developed western country (though very few are also safe) to bring any stuff and you believe he/she will come back safely. Snatching is for sure there but again in not all of country. I am amazed to know that it is happening in Bahria Town also. Rest of all is correct,… Read more »
Hi Fahad, I am a Pakistani but now I live in Europe. I was forced to leave Pakistan despite setting up a successful business in Pakistan. And yes our country is “too dangerous” to many including me. Kindly don’t be too overly patriotic. We should start telling the truth not only to ourself but to the whole world. If you belong from the families of Army, Judges, Very rich and influential or bureaucratic families then Pakistan is a paradise. Otherwise it is a living hell. Now a days even people force you to give away your businesses and unfortunately now… Read more »
Totally agree with you.
It’s unfortunate but we cannot deny the facts.
Congrats on the journey, AbdulBasit. It sounds very exciting and I wish you and your family the best. I also look forward to hearing how life is different for you in your future blog posts.
Thank you Michael! 🙂
This is definitely very exciting for all of us and are very happy with the new change. Sure, I’ll keep sharing and glad you liked it 🙂
Congrats on the move and new adventure. I wish you and your family the best!
Thank you Rod!
You’re making some killing sales and I’m happy to see them. Wish you all the best my friend.
Waalaikum Assalaam Abdul, Wow! That is great news – Malaysia :). Wishing you and your family all the very best and hope you continue to make a killing in your domaining journey, as always. And also hope to see more of your posts once you settle down – Sajid
Glad you like the decision and move. Thank you Sajid bhai.

Thank you AbdulRahman dear for commenting and your kind words.
Best wishes!
Good move brother.. beautiful country and best wishes for your future 🙂
Thank you Manmeet bhai!
I think we now have a better chance to meet in person soon 😀
Any specific reason for choosing Malaysia, why not Dubai?
Dubai is done and dusted. Don’t see any future there. No stability in that region as well.
I am happy for you. Will think about moving to Malaysia.
That would add more to the fun.
Feel free to contact me any time you plan to move down here.
Great news. I am happy for you and your family and I wish you all much happiness in Malaysia. I am sure the improved quality of life will bring much joy and peace of mind!
I’ll make sure to get in touch next time I am in KL.
I’m excited to see you like it and thank you so much for your well wishes! 🙂
That would be wonderful to meet you in person. Keep in touch.
Asalam o Alikum my brother no doubt Malaysia is truly Asia. As u know this year KL was my second home so need any help there do let me know. I got good connection in different Gov department, Pakistani community, High Commission of Pakistan in KL. Allah barakt dalay is decision pay. Ameen
WaAlaikum Salaam Nadeem bhai 🙂
I’ll definitely let you know as you’ve offered me several times so I’ll feel free to get in touch.
Thank you so much!
Wa Alaikum Assalam Abdul Basit!
Congrats. I hope you have a great time there.
All the best Brother 🙂
