The Expat magazine feature: Matthew Barsing, Australia-born, Malaysia-made
The Expat magazine, November 2025 — feature on Matthew Barsing.

Born in Australia and made in Malaysia, Matthew Barsing's journey is one of two homes and one mission: helping Southeast Asia turn its potential into compounding returns. From his early years in Australia to building a life, family and career across Kuala Lumpur, his story is a portrait of the modern expat who didn't just visit Malaysia — he made it home.

The full feature appears in the November 2025 edition of The Expat magazine, Malaysia's longest-running publication for the international community, under TEG Media's "Malaysia My Second Home" focus.
