    I was in Malaysia for nearly a month recently (KL, Melaka, Ipoh).
    Positives:
    1. Exciting food scene - very diverse. Malls in KL have really nice food courts.
    2. KL is modern and green. It's also more efficient than old European cities like London and Paris for many things (i.e. transportation system). Airport is efficient too - and better than airports in Europe (in general airports in Asian cities that I have visited such as Singapore and even Jakarta new airport are better than any European airports).
    3. Relatively clean. It's "normal" clean not "clinically" clean like Singapore (which I like).
    4. Quite safe.
    5. Excellent infrastructure - which make life easier for visitors.
    6. If you know where to go, you can really save money here in Malaysia.
    Negatives:
    1. Some places in KL such as Bukit Bintang can be overly crowded, congested and touristy. There were occasions when I was stopped by people who claimed to be refugees from the Middle East and asked me for money. One time, I was eating in a simple but busy restaurant in Kampung Baru KL, and there was someone (who said to be from Syria) persistently asking for money.
    2. There are really bad drivers. When I was in Ipoh, drivers are particularly bad. It was actually quite scary to cross the road by Ipoh rail station.
    Overall, I did have a fantastic time in Malaysia.

    • @Ruriko.Y
      @Ruriko.Y Рік тому +7

      Malaysian drivers are scary, really. as a local, I have anxiety every time I'm on the road. it's one of the reason I rarely drive in Malaysia especially in KL, Selangor and Penang. Malaysians can be the sweetest, kindest people but once they get behind the wheels, their personalities change 😅 (not all of course)

    • @kayellai5278
      @kayellai5278 11 місяців тому +2

      Exciting food is not enough as a statement. Malaysia is a food paradise like nowhere else.
      Malaysia do have some very bad drivers, many reasons for being so bad. Kuala Lumpur is the worst, not Ipoh. There is even a UA-camr name YS Khong, teaching people how to speed on public roads. He thinks, he is some kind hero on this mayhem.
      Beggars is big problem in Kuala Lumpur, if it is local, perhaps understandable but foreigners begging, I am pretty upset about it.

    Ichang, a Japanese couple who was heartbroken when they are compelled to leave the country while their Digital Normed Visa application is being processed, comes to my mind when I heard your kind narrative about Malaysia. The couple said the longer they live here, the more they can find “dragon balls (surprises)”. They mentioned that they don’t really fall in love Malaysia at first sight but the longer they stay here to more they wanted to remain here since all the “dragon balls” cannot be found at once until will take some time to discover.
    Foreigners are easily blend with locals because Malaysia has variety type of people, multi-culture, multi-ethnic, multi-faces. However, unless you speak to them with a predetermined accent, no one will bother to enquire about your nationality unless they are genuinely curious. So be part of Malaysia because Malaysia is truly Asia and can suit anyone who can love it. We hope you will visit us again with longer. Attempt to apply Digital Normed Visa if you intend to establish Malaysia as your based to explore more of Southeast Asia.

    If you are not a party animal, Malaysia is the place for you. Those tourists who are party animal have a lot of complaints about Malaysia. Things are cheap because of heavy subsidy from the government on basic things like petrol, flour, cooking oil, etc. None of Malaysia neighbouring countries have such heavy subsidy for its citizen. Malaysia's neighbours smuggle things out of Malaysia and some come for shopping spree during weekends. They enjoy Malaysia currency being weak.

    Just arrived here 2 days ago from HCMC to KL, impressed so far . Was in Penang about 20 years ago but very briefly like 5 days. KL is Organised modern structured progressive city, with alot of Cultures ( my hotel that i booked was in the Indian quarter no doubt about that ), but i feel the air quality is not the best here maybe . I thought it was hot in HCMC but this is another level of heat and humidity,its raining here now also so thats refreshing. Would love to explore more out of the city as Im not a city guy at all. I bought a delicious fresh prepared lunch yesterday on a very clean looking street stall from a nice muslim girl for 8 ringgit (€1.60 c) rice , chicken , vegetables and a knockout Sambal chilli sauce was really great quality and good size portion, I will be having more of that today thank you very much 😊 impressed so far 💪😊

    Great video Alex.
    We set out to give Malaysia a 3 month stay, starting in late February 2020, as part of "Where we, a pair of retirees in our mid 60's, going to settle down for a very very long time World Tour".
    Sadly we only got to see KL and Malacca before "the spicey cough" hit hard and the Malay government gave the whole country 24 hours notice of "Restricted Movement Order" (aka lockdown - enforced with great vigour by armed officals).
    We shot back to Australia double quick BUT we saw, and liked, enough of what Malaysia, and its people, offers and entice us back there at some stage.

Dat's d sad state of our local drivers!

Wow I was waiting for a country you would admit to consider retiring or living long term and I’m glad you finally found it. Also yes I agree with your assessment. Malaysia seems to satisfy both quality and price. In the west quality standards are high but so are the prices but some countries have lower prices but sacrifices the quality you get. Malaysia seems to balance of quality and price. I think visas seem to be the issue but I hope it works out for you and you can somehow extend your stay. I really enjoy your Malaysia series.

      Traffic is bad during the peak hours. Like in the morning when people are going to work. And in the evening, when they are going home. During the fasting month, the peak hour will be earlier. Expect heavy traffic starting as early as 430. Around 630, the traffic should usually eased already.

      There are ways to avoid mosquitoes. Stay in condo or hotel that is above 8th floor, not on landed properties. Stay away from nature and greenery, far away. Always go for brightly lighted dinning or premises. Avoid dark areas.
      As for me, I always get bitten by mosquitoes daily on my landed property because of the greenery that surround my house. Please note, mosquito loves babies.

    Im from California. Many you say is so true. Iv live in the middle of the city n iv a great view of mountains forest outside my balcony ..it's amazing ❤ except for the heat/humidity..but they ac everyone where..generally most places are very clean no honking on roads In general..maybe there's exceptions. Iv also lived in India (Bengaluru) lots of honking/ super crazy traffic..but great vegetarian food n super nice people, cities not clean like Kerala the coast part of India its beautiful scenic, clean. Malaysia has taxis- Grab it's just like Uber. Very professional on time mostly/ taxis are clean/ ac is on in full. Lots of choices for food/ millions of Malls, IKEA, Mosques & Hindu temples. Things are definitely cheaper but if you're particular about buying international food n brands it may be expensive.

  • @FMG25
    @FMG25 4 місяці тому

    Well I share the same view even though I have been there only once in 1992 and stayed for 10 weeks on an overseas printing program. At that time Malaysia was not as developed as it is now so I can imagine base on what you said how it is today. Like you I now live in Canada and hope one day to visit there again. It is a place I felt completely at home. Like you said food for sure is cheap. I like that you can step out in the night and get a hot meal from one of the roadside food carts. Kuala Lumpur is a very beautiful city. I particularly liked Merdeka Square in the night. I witnessed a national day parade and concert by Merdeka Square it felt like a dream.Surreal. The only thing I did not like is the humidity.Thanks for sharing your positive thoughts. Take care and God bless.

    Several years I worked and lived there during an IT project, combined with Singapore. Malaysia was my best place ever been during my life. KL is super modern, great people. I might consider living there permanently, being Swiss retired. Maybe a small house in a beautiful Chinese dominated village 100 km north of KL with expressway access. The only objections I have are
    _The terrible humid heat day and night.
    _The thunderstorms with floods of rain on the minute each at 4 p.m.
    _The somewhat political controversies behind the curtain which might lead to unexpected moves.
    But, those are subjective views.
    I miss the seasons, there. Hence, Turkey at the Mediterranean coast might be better. They also got bananas. Cool pleasant winter, sunny, no snow. High mountains for skiing, strong economy. Forget inflation, you can handle with stock investing. All in all I might lean towards TR, close to Europe but not in. Wise with Russia, all something more familiar. We will see.

    Unfortunately, Kuala Lumpur is becoming a concrete jungle . The building of a skytrain across the city adds even more to the concrete jungle. Driving in Kuala Lumpur I found it is essential to have a sat nav. Rush hour just the same as in any city. The Malaysians are helpful and kind and I think an interesting place for a holiday.
