I had thought the thumbnail was Japan and got very excited. Perhaps you could a video about the cultural ties between the US and Japan? Maybe even interview expats? I don't know where you'd even start but Japan is one of my favorite places I've ever been, (this coming from an American who lived there for a few months). Would really be interesting to see anything you make of it.
island is probably my recommendation, but u wont get any internet. the national forest reserve is interesting if u like to experience tropical forest. if u like hopping around the country (i dont know about the west penisula) there are some really interesting architectural home stay villa like places just to chill. KL, Penang, Malacca are worth to go just based on the amount of stuff in those states. I would however recommend at least try the local food. its such a melting pot of cultures, its top priority imo. Malaysia is generally a car centric society, renting a car is almost a must.
Malaysians are friendly to you not because you are an American with money, it's because we are friendly to others, it's part of our culture. That's how you cultivate a multicultural society, you need to be nice to one another. However we can be hostile to others who don't respect our culture, especially foreigners who take for granted of our kindness.
durians actually not that bad once you get over the weird, sweet onion flavor. it tastes both good and bad at the same time but you can get used to the bad part (and theres lots of different varieties with different flavor)
Californian here. My wife is Malaysian and I spent most of the 90s there, living in a suburb of KL (Ampang). You will not find a more warm and welcoming culture anywhere in the world. And the food is beyond compare. So glad you had a chance to visit. Travel really does expand the mind!
@@aaronravindran i live in UK haha, I agree, tho the only problem is the streets, if you don't have a car it's going be a lot of trouble. Personally I use grab since work isn't too far.
So glad you got to go to KL (and that you enjoyed it)! It’s interesting to hear your impressions of the place too, in terms of its diversity and cosmopolitanism- plus I’m also glad you got to try durian and see the Batu Caves, as I didn’t get the chance in 2019 10/10 would recommend traveling to the other side of the world if you have the means
@@iammrbeat Only ~4 days (though to be fair I was hitting up quite a few different places) but it definitely left an impact on me @AbdulRaheem-fk8ru I actually went there near the end of Ramadan. I didn't get to see any Eid festivities, but a subscriber even brought me to a mosque for iftar dinner alongside a couple of friends! (one from Sudan and one from Chechnya, if I remember correctly)
Thank you for coming to KL.. wished you would have told us you were coming and arrange a fan meet&greet.. Really love your channel and how you explain American culture and issues to us non-Americans so that we can all learn here. Take care and hope you make this 9344 miles journey again in the future and maybe take time to go visit other parts of Malaysia.. Til next time Mr. Beat 👍
Dude, I am a San Francisco native. Yes, my wife is Malaysian Chinese but she never "pushed" her country to me at all. I actually found it while researching for retirement spots. I finally go there, like you, and fell in love with Penang (Island). KL is too busy for me. I got my visa a few years ago and I just bought a seaside full ocean view condo for a song. Check out Penang!!!!!!
@@xcjsmith5310 Come on, we all know there is no perfect place. But, your country said something to me and once I investigated for myself (wifey is Malaysian but she prefers the West) I loved it enough to pluck down some money into a place there.
Wow Mr Beat in Malaysia, as a longtime Malaysian fan this feels so surreally awesome Ironically I’m currently exchanging in the US right now away from Malaysia, which I chose since I’m quite interested in American culture and history, in part thanks to your great videos about the US :D
@@iammrbeat I’m in Boston right now, the city with all the history! Much colder than what I’m used to, but hey that’s what I signed up for since it’s the fall season haha
Wow, welcome to Malaysia, Mr. and Mrs. Beat, and I hope you had a great time in our country and city! It feels interesting to see you in Suria KLCC; I could've walked right by you on my way home from work and not even noticed! Thanks so much for all your informative and educational videos, and may your flames of inspiration burn long and bright!
Can't believe Mr Beat is in Malaysia my home country! Been a long time subscriber of your channel and I just love your videos on American history and politics. I hope you had an excellent time and enjoyed Malaysian hospitality! Looking forward to seeing more amazing content from you!
Hi Mr. Beat. Greetings from Malaysia. I am one of your viewer here, thank your for teaching me many things about US history! I learnt a lot about US history and culture from you. Hope you enjoy your stay here in Malaysia!
To be honest, I understand your sentiment about Malaysia not feeling that different from the US, as in my opinion, both countries share many similarities. Both countries are melting pots, where different cultures come to form a single united identity, while still retaining aspects of their original cultures. Both also share a vaguely similar system of federated states, with some each state getting some control on themselves while still being one country Both also do have some political disparity between their parts. Peopel are a lot more liberal in KL and Selangor, but in a state like Terengganu, people are definitely a lot more religious and conservative. Heck, even our flags are very similar. On a less optimistic side, both countries also have similar issues. Maybe not "certain" types of school violence, but identity politics, obesity, and car dependency are some shared problems here. Edit: And yes, our country does have large immigrant population. Though yes, the Bangladeshis make good labor and the Syrians make good Shawarma, conflicts do happen, and many locals are resentful of them
Welcome to Malaysia, Mr. Beat! I really can't believe you're here. I subscribed to your channel recently. Your content is really educational and amazing, and I love your US supreme court videos. I'm studying law so its really cool! Thank you for your wonderful work! I'm so glad you enjoyed Malaysia! I grew up learning about American history and culture and that has really been a major foundation to my approach to learning law and about politics.
I think your family/friends concerned views of being kidnapped are thinking of the Rosehill couple that were kidnapped and held hostage while on vacation in the Philippines back in 2001. Valid concerns, but the State Department says just exercise normal precautions for Malaysia. It’s always best to look at what the state department says about travel, and know where the US Embassy is 😊
@@jljordan1 if they are worried about one incident that happened 23 years ago in an entirely different country than where you were traveling, you better not tell them what happens every day in the United States
In 2000, 21 people were kidnapped from Sipadan Island (an island diving resort), on the east coast of Sabah by terrorists/freedom fighters from the southern Philippines, and taken back across the border. These were 10 foreign tourists, 9 Malaysian workers, and 2 Filipino workers. Sabah is the eastern most state in the country. In 2013, 285 militants invaded from the southern Philippines in a quixotic attempt to capture Sabah. Note that Sabah is bigger than West Virginia and has twice the population. And they tried it with 285 men armed with rifles and pistols!
@@danielch6662nah , geographically Sabah is too far east next to Philippines 😂. You just need to aware with foreign workers that mostly from Bangladesh in capital city. That's their biggest problems. My advices always check latest updates news before went you go any countries.
I’m a Mr Beat fan and I live in Malaysia (but I’m from Minnesota). Great to see you in KL! Love your observations! Glad you made the trip. Keep up the great content!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew where you were at. I visited Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while on my vacation to Cambodia (my parents are Khmer immigrants and we were staying with relatives) in 2019. Ive been to Southeast Asia twice and the plane itinerary from the states to Southeast Asia is always as grueling if not more than you described it lol. Amazing place and country there, I'd love to go again. Malaysia is a beautiful country. Im glad you had a great time Mr. Beat!!
Back in late 90s & early aughts when I regularly traveled from the U.S. to Seoul, Singapore, Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong & KL as young man selling telecommunications equipment to ISPs, Telcos and Governments [airports, hotels, restaurants, night clubs, conferences & a habit of walking around different parts of cities during weeks long trips that included layover weekends of personal time] ... without a doubt, the highest percentage of attractive people were in KL [which also had the highest rate of folks that I met in general, that spoke english].
I’m traveling Southeast Asia and I was in KL last month! Amazing city. Malaysia was awesome, especially Borneo. Just visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia - it’s possibly the most amazing thing I’ve seen with these two eyes. If you’re still around and exploring Southeast Asia - definitely go see it.
Dude im also from malaysia and have been watching you since 2019! Your videos are the one who build my passion in history in the first place ❤ also glad you enjoy the experience here!
Thanks for sharing your experience in Malaysia! Having spent a third of my life so far from my home in KL to further my life experiences in the US, I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit, and it reminds me of what I've missed out on so much.
If you plan to go as a full-fledged tourist, I suggest you change your time. December is a school holiday month in Malaysia. That is the time when most working folks too take leave to go on vacations with their families. Tourist spots would be packed to the brim with domestic holidaymakers. Just saying.😊
My jaw DROPPED when I saw the thumbnail, I was in utter disbelief! I never expected you to visit Malaysia, but I am immensely happy you chose to do so and enjoyed your visit here!
I've lived in Korea for 15 years. My first vacation after I moved there was the KL. It was my first vacation that I planned and paid for on my own, and my first time traveling solo. It was a very liberating experience, and I learned how much fun traveling can be. In the years since, I have traveled to 9 more countries in Asia. I have been places, done things, and met people I never have had I not moved to Korea in the first place.
One of your Malaysian viewer here! It's so fun to see your home country from another perspective. Btw i have learn so much about US history and politics from you!
Durians were banned from hotels not because they are smelly, it's because their smell is actually a physical matter. That's why it were mainly eaten outdoors. If the durians were to be eaten indoors, the odor actually sticks to the furniture, fabrics, walls, ceiling, etc. and will lingers for a long time, sometimes weeks or months if no actions were taken to try to remove the smell. That is the main reason why. Sometimes, even after cleaning, suddenly you'll detect a hint of the smell, a whiff, that will make you question, "Where the hell did that came from? I already cleaned everything! Why?" Yes, that actually happened to me.
This whole video reminds me of everything I felt the first year I moved to Asia. I've been here over a decade now, and the inclusion of Starbucks and UA-cam being a thing in a country in Asia was very amusing. Thanks for this little nostalgia trip into what culture shock was like. It's shocking that foreign lands aren't always actually that foreign.
Speaking as a Singaporean, *I really really disliked the Channel 'Nomad Capitalist'* after viewing their videos. *Their attitude is just so wrong.* The perspective of their video *isn't about global citizenry.* They are about people who are so well off (which are very few and far between) getting to pick and choose citizenship. There is no loyalty, roots, attachments, empathy or civic responsibility. *They think citizenship is something 'purchasable'.* To them, it's about what a particularly prosperous country can do for you and your portfolio. Which also means, if the country took a turn that isn't to their liking, they will shop for another. Singaporean like to promote the idea of being global citizen, but it's in the sense that we need the rest of the world (and we do). So their brand of global citizenry is anathema to me. *Why should any country want citizens like them, who would never feel any sense of responsibility to us?* Welcome to the region, btw.
@@mikeymullins5305 Indeed, but tax havens are just part of it. The video I watched are about selling the idea of passports and dual citizenship. They don't just want tax havens. They want unfettered 'access' to as much of the world for whatever they want, with the least amount of personal cost and obligations. They want citizenship they deem "useful". Even when they use innocuous language, it's very off-putting.
Finally a comment about Nomad Capitalist, I was surprised almost no comments highlighted this part of the video LOL. It was so off-putting. I'm taken aback by how little information there is about the guy or his company other than his UA-cam channel or pictures of him surrounded by women like he's Andrew Tate lol.
Hi. Fellow Malaysian here. Just wanted to say thanks for coming here. I've been watching you all for your historic -ish videos and I learnt a lot. I learnt all about American presidents from you.
My husband and I are huge fans of your videos and we're from KL! We hope you're getting an awesome experience --culture-wise, i.e., the vibrant history, etc.
Fun fact: the reason people call you Matt is because in malaysia, theres a slang for a white tourist called "Mat Salleh" thats why a lot of people called you "Matt"
@@iammrbeatI went to Malaysia and they called my stepdad Mr. Chad when he would say his full name and they would call me Mr. Joseph. So I'm pretty sure it's surname confusion.
It's a very Malaysian/Southeast Asian thing to call "Mr." followed by the first name. Maybe it has something to do with the complexity of last names - in ethnic Malay and (many) ethnic Indian communities, they don't have family names, and so their official last names are their father's names, so you may end up referring to their fathers unintentionally when calling someone Mr. . It's then safer to call one by their first name here. That's my theory at least.
If you're thinking about where to go next within Malaysia, there are several places that you could go depending if you're heading north or south. If you're planning to go south towards Singapore, visiting Malacca and Johor Bharu is a good idea. If you're planning to head north to Thailand, visiting Ipoh and the Penang Island on the way is great selections.
Welcome to Malaysia. I enjoyed watching your video. I hope you will return to explore our many other cities and scenic spots. I live in the UNESCO World city of Malacca. We have rich history and cultural heritage that will astound you. This was where we welcome home our first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman when he returned from the UK after the Queen Elizabeth II granted us our independence from the British in 1957.
*I was in beautiful, mountainous, FrenchSpeaking Cichoutimi, Canada years years back. At the supermarket, cashier queue, I was talking to my friend, in English, waiting for our turn when a 40ish lady in front of us turned and asked, "you boys speak good English, where did you learn and where you're guys from...???". We said Malaysia, and she said where...??? After describing the geographical location, taking Vietnam as the anchor point, she finally said, why did you live so far away. Our rejoinder was... no... we are not far away, you are. This place is so far away.*
It looked so beautiful. I hope I get the chance to see Malysia one day. I'd also recommend the Philippines, very underrated country but it seemed very similar to what you showed in the video. Mainly the culture aspect of the people being very kind.
Mad respect for trying Durian, though I am told by one of my friends who actually likes it to never try it in North America. It tastes different, whether imported or ‘grown locally’ (don’t know how that’s possible, but I’m Canadian 🤷🏻♀️). My point - you had the good stuff! The freshest stuff, if you didn’t like it, you’ll never get better. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Exactly. If there is one thing lacking in Malaysia, it is law enforcement. There is zero law enforcement in Malaysia. Security guards are all over the place in every single mall, hotel, condminium etc. but they are not law enforcement.
Word i learned today was "Globalization" and i think that make sense because i used to not speaks in English everyday but as an application specialist in the city, I've met many people all around the world. And yes. I'm Malaysian.
Thats's crazy that you are in Malaysia. I am actually flying to Malaysia for the first time to visit a friend next week. Last thing I would expect to see a video of you over there lol. It will farthest away from home I have ever been also. But I am very excited!
Welcome to Malaysia! Next time visit the Borneo Side of Malaysia, my home state of Sarawak and neighbours Sabah State! Love ur vids on American History (love that tone tinged with folksiness kekeke)
Malaysian Jayhawk here. So damn cool to see you visiting my home country and especially wearing some Jayhawk gear around town. I miss Lawrence and Overland Park a ton and wish I could just teleport and pay a visit. Hope you enjoyed your stay, do come back sometime!
Welcome to Malaysia. I have been to US 2 times in 2006. Malaysians are open minded people . they do not react weird when meeting with different colours of people. Relax and polite.
Ha! Nice to see you interacting with Nomad Capitalist. I’ve known of him for quite a while, has a fascinating perspective on the world. Glad you like Malaysia, great country!
Congrats on exploring the world! Everyone should see the world! I have been to many countries and I had a blast. Malaysia is one of the few I haven't been to.
Hey Mr Beat! I am a Malaysian viewer of yours and you have been a big inspiration for me. Because if you, I got into malaysian political history and even make videos parodying your American Presidential Election vids! Thanks for inspiring me and visiting my country! You helped me discover how interesting political history is❤
I'm a firm believer that anyone who has the means to travel, even if it is just to some other town or state/province, absolutely should. To break the monotony and to explore somewhere new, with different languages, cultures, customs, and cuisines is such a mind opening experience if you have only lived in a place of monoculturalism. So many prejudices can be broken just by interacting with the "others", and you end up realizing we're all the same, just a little different here and there.
My wife, our 1 year and 2 month old toddler and i just went on a trip to Japan. It was absolutely incredible. The flight was insane (two flights one 3 hours and one 13 hours), but the people were so nice and loved interacting with our son. We tried very hard to learn as much Japanese before we went, but it seems like most people spoke better English than we spoke Japanese. It did come in handy when my wife accidently dropped her phone off the side of a mountain trail. It luckily didn't fall far and a very nice couple called the park staff who were able to get it for us. I've heard Japan can be rough to immigrate to as an American, but visiting was great and i really hope we're able to go back some day.
I actually been to Malaysia and it was really nice, everything was cheap and the towers were nice. It would be cool if you did a comparison video but you actually visited the places
Whoever told you that you were going to be kidnapped in Malaysia needs to get out more often. This sounds like a typical American who thinks that traveling is going to Orlando, Branson Missouri or Las Vegas. From my experience, I can tell you that you’re just scratching the surface of Malaysia in KL. Next time, I would recommend Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Ipoh. The country is very welcoming and perfectly safe.
Going to Branson, Las Vegas or Orlando is traveling. Just because something isn't on the other side of the world doesn't mean it's not traveling; that's silly and not what the word means. I agree that a fear of being kidnapped in Malaysia is absurd. Casual anti-Americanism is pretty easy and popular to do on the internet but in my experience people are both "typical" and stupid everywhere
@@3DaysIn : I disagree. Unless there’s something that you don’t recognize on your plate and they’re not speaking your lingo, you’re just transiting from one Applebees to another. Sure there are interesting things to see in this country (the biggest ball of yarn) or the Grand Canyon but aside from that, it’s all the same to this traveler who is now well past his 50th country visited. It’s a big world beyond America and it’s time for America to find that out.
A fellow Malaysian here! been a fan of your channel for years now, I’m glad to hear your views on our country, the recent Ishowspeed visit here kinda ruined the country’s image abit, and yeah, multiracialism is something us Malaysians take pride on 😃
You mentioned that there are police everywhere, including the shopping malls. They're not police. They are security guards. The uniform of Malaysia's police are navy blue or dark blue. The uniform of the security guards are white shirt and black pants. They're found almost everywhere, including shopping malls.
Mr beat in a suit? My eyes my eyes can't take it... Say it isn't so... I love Mr Beats down to earth content and I really enjoyed this video of a place I will never go
OMG YOU WENT TO MALAYSIA??? THAT'S WHERE I LIVE!!!! I'VE ALSO BEEN TO THE PLACES YOU WENT TO IN THIS VIDEO!!! Giddiness aside, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here. I'm from Selangor and am almost always taken aback by how outwardly liberal the people in KL are whenever I visit. KL is more like its own country because of how different it is compared to the other, more conservative parts of Malaysia. I guess that's just the reality of being a metropolis. With regards to you having more solidarity with Chinese folks, I think it's partially because they're generally more fluent in English and also much more caught up with global developments than Malay and Indian folks. As a Malay myself, I've noticed that we have this very stuck-up attitude about us since we're considered to be the "original" settlers of Malaysia (whatever that means) and are thus granted more privileges such as easier access to higher education and more opportunities to buy land. This also makes Malays pretty xenophobic and averse to English and all things considered "western." I can't say anything about Indians here since I'm not really familiar with their culture. Also, yeah, you were probably treated well because you're a white foreigner lol. People here are quick to trip over themselves to a borderline obsequious degree when they realize they're dealing with a rich white foreigner. Whenever I go to KL, I'm always met with curt responses to my questions. But hey, maybe I've just had bad experiences idk. Anyways, good video! It's rare to see an outside perspective on this country.
Hahahaha... I am hooked watching your video in my parked car under the sun. Because it is laced and coated and peppered with humour one after another 😁. There are millions of people from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal etc etc in Malaysia. So we welcome everybody, with money or without money. We believe in UNITY in DIVERSITY.
Hi Mr Beat, thanks for the good words about Malaysia. Hope you enjoy your time here. Your channel has many followers here because most of us understand English.
@iammrbeat well not really the electricity still cuts every 2 hours or so the currency isn't great people are uneducated but no wars yet!!! And the 9 year old marriage law. But your videos give me hope for the future so thank you matt❤️
Hi Mr. Beatt! I’m indonesian who’ve been subscribing your channel for a while, and I think going to the KL is the best decision you could possibly do in order to learn about southeast asian culture in general. It’s the perfect hub of south, east, and southeast asian culture, it’s modern, it’s clean, not too crowded like Jakarta or Manila, not as touristy as Bangkok, not really that strict as Singapore, and definitely the citizens speak better english than citizens in Hanoi, Pnom Penh, Laos, or Myanmar. Thank you so much for trying durian, I hope you love it wkwkwk
Brit here, living in the region for over 20 years. Never fails to make me laugh, seeing an American, discover that Other Countries are also 'Developed'! Shock! I live on Borneo (Brunei to be exact) and I think you would be shocked beyond words by this little country....its more developed than the USA....the people are richer, too.....
For people who dislike or don’t enjoy durian, one should at least consume it just purely for its health benefits. Durian is the most nutrients and minerals rich fruit in the world. High in vitamins (C & B6), mostly monounsaturated fats (which is considered “heart-healthy fats that helps to regulate cholesterol’s level), fiber, thiamine, manganese, potassium, riboflavin, copper, folate, magnesium and niacin. It’s also rich in healthy plant compounds like anthocyanins, carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids. Many of these function as antioxidants. In simple terms, durian helps to reduce cancer risk, prevent heart disease, fight infection & inflammation, lower or regulate blood sugar & pressure levels, promote digestive health & heart health, aid in weight management (diet control), support brain health, and many other benefits. Durian is high in calories and carbohydrates as well. One should consume it in moderation. People with kidney disease or problems following a low-potassium diet should avoid durian as the fruit is very high in potassium. People following a low-carb diet may also want to avoid or limit the fruit as it is very high in carbohydrates. Durian is rich in fiber, which may cause digestive side effects such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in people who are not used to fiber-rich foods. If your diet is low in fiber, you can introduce durian and other high-fiber foods in small amounts to let your body adapt to a higher fiber intake, and then increase your consumption slowly. Durian is potentially harmful in combination with alcohol. Consuming durian at the same time as alcohol can cause problems. Scientists believe that sulfur-like compounds in durian may prevent certain enzymes from breaking down alcohol, causing increased alcohol levels in your blood. This could lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting and heart palpitations. To be safe, avoid eating durian and drinking alcohol at the same time😊
When I lived in south Jersey I met people that had never left the state before, with places like Philly and Deleware just 40-50mins away & NYC 1.5-2hrs away.

That's our KING OF FRUITS...DURIAN!...everyone loves DURIAN!
durians actually not that bad once you get over the weird, sweet onion flavor. it tastes both good and bad at the same time but you can get used to the bad part (and theres lots of different varieties with different flavor)
Smells bad. Tastes good. Just don't smell it when you bite it.

@@xcjsmith5310 Come on, we all know there is no perfect place. But, your country said something to me and once I investigated for myself (wifey is Malaysian but she prefers the West) I loved it enough to pluck down some money into a place there.
brilliant choice. low key high quality 😛
Wow Mr Beat in Malaysia, as a longtime Malaysian fan this feels so surreally awesome
Ironically I’m currently exchanging in the US right now away from Malaysia, which I chose since I’m quite interested in American culture and history, in part thanks to your great videos about the US :D
This is so awesome. What part of the United States are you staying? I hope Americans have been treating you well. You have a beautiful country.
@@iammrbeat I’m in Boston right now, the city with all the history! Much colder than what I’m used to, but hey that’s what I signed up for since it’s the fall season haha

Wow, welcome to Malaysia, Mr. and Mrs. Beat, and I hope you had a great time in our country and city! It feels interesting to see you in Suria KLCC; I could've walked right by you on my way home from work and not even noticed!
Thanks so much for all your informative and educational videos, and may your flames of inspiration burn long and bright!
Wow, can believe you're in my country. Hope you're having a great time so far.
I'm back home now. I wrote this script while I was there, though. Your country is amazing. We enjoyed ourselves!
@@iammrbeat Oh ha ha, that makes sense. Well, I'm glad you and the missus enjoyed your trip.
Can't believe Mr Beat is in Malaysia my home country! Been a long time subscriber of your channel and I just love your videos on American history and politics. I hope you had an excellent time and enjoyed Malaysian hospitality! Looking forward to seeing more amazing content from you!
Hi Mr. Beat. Greetings from Malaysia. I am one of your viewer here, thank your for teaching me many things about US history! I learnt a lot about US history and culture from you. Hope you enjoy your stay here in Malaysia!
To be honest, I understand your sentiment about Malaysia not feeling that different from the US, as in my opinion, both countries share many similarities.
Both countries are melting pots, where different cultures come to form a single united identity, while still retaining aspects of their original cultures.
Both also share a vaguely similar system of federated states, with some each state getting some control on themselves while still being one country
Both also do have some political disparity between their parts. Peopel are a lot more liberal in KL and Selangor, but in a state like Terengganu, people are definitely a lot more religious and conservative.
Heck, even our flags are very similar.
On a less optimistic side, both countries also have similar issues. Maybe not "certain" types of school violence, but identity politics, obesity, and car dependency are some shared problems here.
Edit: And yes, our country does have large immigrant population. Though yes, the Bangladeshis make good labor and the Syrians make good Shawarma, conflicts do happen, and many locals are resentful of them
And immigrants
Are you allowed to talk negatively about your government on TV?
Pandai2 je kau KL dengan selangor liberal..engkau yang fahaman liberal jangan libatkan seluruh Kl dan selangor..terutama muslim🤨
@@TheOuterDrive Are you allowed to talk bad about isr*hell government on TV?
@@TheOuterDrive
Yes, free speech as long you dont incite people to do riot/violence etc.
Im one of your Malaysian viewers, thanks a lot for coming to KL!
Looks like Most viewers are Malaysian
Welcome to Malaysia, Mr. Beat! I really can't believe you're here. I subscribed to your channel recently. Your content is really educational and amazing, and I love your US supreme court videos. I'm studying law so its really cool! Thank you for your wonderful work! I'm so glad you enjoyed Malaysia! I grew up learning about American history and culture and that has really been a major foundation to my approach to learning law and about politics.
I think your family/friends concerned views of being kidnapped are thinking of the Rosehill couple that were kidnapped and held hostage while on vacation in the Philippines back in 2001. Valid concerns, but the State Department says just exercise normal precautions for Malaysia. It’s always best to look at what the state department says about travel, and know where the US Embassy is 😊
That is excellent advice!
@@jljordan1 if they are worried about one incident that happened 23 years ago in an entirely different country than where you were traveling, you better not tell them what happens every day in the United States
In 2000, 21 people were kidnapped from Sipadan Island (an island diving resort), on the east coast of Sabah by terrorists/freedom fighters from the southern Philippines, and taken back across the border. These were 10 foreign tourists, 9 Malaysian workers, and 2 Filipino workers. Sabah is the eastern most state in the country.
In 2013, 285 militants invaded from the southern Philippines in a quixotic attempt to capture Sabah. Note that Sabah is bigger than West Virginia and has twice the population. And they tried it with 285 men armed with rifles and pistols!
@@danielch6662nah , geographically Sabah is too far east next to Philippines 😂. You just need to aware with foreign workers that mostly from Bangladesh in capital city. That's their biggest problems. My advices always check latest updates news before went you go any countries.
@@danielch6662 Philippine people is just bad they still want take our state
I’m a Mr Beat fan and I live in Malaysia (but I’m from Minnesota). Great to see you in KL! Love your observations! Glad you made the trip. Keep up the great content!
Mr Beast × Ishowspeed × in Malaysia is wild
At the exact same time and place. Yeah, it was trippy.

Another twist, Ishowspeed was in another youtuber's restaurant, who called Uncle Roger (mrnigelng)
@@hatnullaegy yes correct

As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew where you were at. I visited Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while on my vacation to Cambodia (my parents are Khmer immigrants and we were staying with relatives) in 2019. Ive been to Southeast Asia twice and the plane itinerary from the states to Southeast Asia is always as grueling if not more than you described it lol. Amazing place and country there, I'd love to go again. Malaysia is a beautiful country. Im glad you had a great time Mr. Beat!!
I live in Chicago, but I have an online friend from Malaysia. I messaged her your vid!
Back in late 90s & early aughts when I regularly traveled from the U.S. to Seoul, Singapore, Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong & KL as young man selling telecommunications equipment to ISPs, Telcos and Governments [airports, hotels, restaurants, night clubs, conferences & a habit of walking around different parts of cities during weeks long trips that included layover weekends of personal time] ... without a doubt, the highest percentage of attractive people were in KL [which also had the highest rate of folks that I met in general, that spoke english].
I’m traveling Southeast Asia and I was in KL last month! Amazing city. Malaysia was awesome, especially Borneo. Just visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia - it’s possibly the most amazing thing I’ve seen with these two eyes. If you’re still around and exploring Southeast Asia - definitely go see it.
It is really cool you got to visit Malaysia! That is one place I need to get to next. It looks very impressive!
It’s Scottman!
Definitely go, Scott. Also be sure to film a bunch!
Dude im also from malaysia and have been watching you since 2019! Your videos are the one who build my passion in history in the first place ❤
also glad you enjoy the experience here!
Thanks for sharing your experience in Malaysia! Having spent a third of my life so far from my home in KL to further my life experiences in the US, I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit, and it reminds me of what I've missed out on so much.
I'm going to KL in December! This video reignited my excitement!
If you plan to go as a full-fledged tourist, I suggest you change your time. December is a school holiday month in Malaysia. That is the time when most working folks too take leave to go on vacations with their families.
Tourist spots would be packed to the brim with domestic holidaymakers.
Just saying.😊
@@jintonceng3165 I don't have the luxury of choosing my vacation time, along with many of the tourists that likely go at this exact time.
My jaw DROPPED when I saw the thumbnail, I was in utter disbelief!
I never expected you to visit Malaysia, but I am immensely happy you chose to do so and enjoyed your visit here!
I had a durian smoothie when I went to Singapore in July, it sure tasted
2:55 Love seeing Mr. Beat in a suit
So does Mrs. Beat. lol
I've lived in Korea for 15 years. My first vacation after I moved there was the KL. It was my first vacation that I planned and paid for on my own, and my first time traveling solo. It was a very liberating experience, and I learned how much fun traveling can be. In the years since, I have traveled to 9 more countries in Asia. I have been places, done things, and met people I never have had I not moved to Korea in the first place.
One of your Malaysian viewer here! It's so fun to see your home country from another perspective. Btw i have learn so much about US history and politics from you!
You have traveled much farther than most flat Earthers would be willing to risk going.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
earth is flat tho, he's traveling to the edge of the earth
Durians were banned from hotels not because they are smelly, it's because their smell is actually a physical matter. That's why it were mainly eaten outdoors. If the durians were to be eaten indoors, the odor actually sticks to the furniture, fabrics, walls, ceiling, etc. and will lingers for a long time, sometimes weeks or months if no actions were taken to try to remove the smell. That is the main reason why. Sometimes, even after cleaning, suddenly you'll detect a hint of the smell, a whiff, that will make you question, "Where the hell did that came from? I already cleaned everything! Why?" Yes, that actually happened to me.
@@AshburnH and the smell got worst when mix with air condtioner
yea. The staying power of the smell is akin to glitters.
@@AshburnH it's like cigarettes
Also another fun fact: Kuala Lumpur is the city that receives the MOST THUNDERSTORM every year

This whole video reminds me of everything I felt the first year I moved to Asia.
I've been here over a decade now, and the inclusion of Starbucks and UA-cam being a thing in a country in Asia was very amusing.
Thanks for this little nostalgia trip into what culture shock was like. It's shocking that foreign lands aren't always actually that foreign.
Speaking as a Singaporean, *I really really disliked the Channel 'Nomad Capitalist'* after viewing their videos. *Their attitude is just so wrong.* The perspective of their video *isn't about global citizenry.* They are about people who are so well off (which are very few and far between) getting to pick and choose citizenship. There is no loyalty, roots, attachments, empathy or civic responsibility. *They think citizenship is something 'purchasable'.* To them, it's about what a particularly prosperous country can do for you and your portfolio. Which also means, if the country took a turn that isn't to their liking, they will shop for another. Singaporean like to promote the idea of being global citizen, but it's in the sense that we need the rest of the world (and we do). So their brand of global citizenry is anathema to me. *Why should any country want citizens like them, who would never feel any sense of responsibility to us?*
Welcome to the region, btw.
I thought the same thing.what they are looking for seems to be tax havens.
@@mikeymullins5305 Indeed, but tax havens are just part of it. The video I watched are about selling the idea of passports and dual citizenship. They don't just want tax havens. They want unfettered 'access' to as much of the world for whatever they want, with the least amount of personal cost and obligations. They want citizenship they deem "useful". Even when they use innocuous language, it's very off-putting.
im surprised he collaborated with them in any capacity
Finally a comment about Nomad Capitalist, I was surprised almost no comments highlighted this part of the video LOL. It was so off-putting.
I'm taken aback by how little information there is about the guy or his company other than his UA-cam channel or pictures of him surrounded by women like he's Andrew Tate lol.
@@biocapsule7311 thanks you I was very turned off by that as well
Hi. Fellow Malaysian here. Just wanted to say thanks for coming here. I've been watching you all for your historic -ish videos and I learnt a lot. I learnt all about American presidents from you.
My husband and I are huge fans of your videos and we're from KL! We hope you're getting an awesome experience --culture-wise, i.e., the vibrant history, etc.
Fun fact: the reason people call you Matt is because in malaysia, theres a slang for a white tourist called "Mat Salleh" thats why a lot of people called you "Matt"
I want to go to Ireland
I just assumed it was surname confusion. At the hotel, in particular, they kept calling me "Mr. Matt."
@@iammrbeat nope its a slang....some people would argue its a slur but it works as the word "gringo" in south america
@@iammrbeatI went to Malaysia and they called my stepdad Mr. Chad when he would say his full name and they would call me Mr. Joseph. So I'm pretty sure it's surname confusion.
It's a very Malaysian/Southeast Asian thing to call "Mr." followed by the first name. Maybe it has something to do with the complexity of last names - in ethnic Malay and (many) ethnic Indian communities, they don't have family names, and so their official last names are their father's names, so you may end up referring to their fathers unintentionally when calling someone Mr. . It's then safer to call one by their first name here. That's my theory at least.
Nailed it. You're the man, Mr. Beat!
Thanks for watching!
If you're thinking about where to go next within Malaysia, there are several places that you could go depending if you're heading north or south.
If you're planning to go south towards Singapore, visiting Malacca and Johor Bharu is a good idea.
If you're planning to head north to Thailand, visiting Ipoh and the Penang Island on the way is great selections.
Welcome to Malaysia. I enjoyed watching your video. I hope you will return to explore our many other cities and scenic spots. I live in the UNESCO World city of Malacca. We have rich history and cultural heritage that will astound you. This was where we welcome home our first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman when he returned from the UK after the Queen Elizabeth II granted us our independence from the British in 1957.
Long before you mentioned that there are always people cleaning, I noticed that KL looks very clean, so that makes sense.
As an American-Malaysian this was a crossover I was never expecting.
@r3dnin3 You can not have dual citizenship in Malaysia
*I was in beautiful, mountainous, FrenchSpeaking Cichoutimi, Canada years years back. At the supermarket, cashier queue, I was talking to my friend, in English, waiting for our turn when a 40ish lady in front of us turned and asked, "you boys speak good English, where did you learn and where you're guys from...???". We said Malaysia, and she said where...??? After describing the geographical location, taking Vietnam as the anchor point, she finally said, why did you live so far away. Our rejoinder was... no... we are not far away, you are. This place is so far away.*
@@apakansaja8505 😅😅
It looked so beautiful.
I hope I get the chance to see Malysia one day.
I'd also recommend the Philippines, very underrated country but it seemed very similar to what you showed in the video. Mainly the culture aspect of the people being very kind.
Mad respect for trying Durian, though I am told by one of my friends who actually likes it to never try it in North America. It tastes different, whether imported or ‘grown locally’ (don’t know how that’s possible, but I’m Canadian 🤷🏻♀️).
My point - you had the good stuff! The freshest stuff, if you didn’t like it, you’ll never get better.
Hope you enjoyed your trip.
A long-time fan, shout out from Indonesia.
So interesting. THANK YOU for taking us along, Mr. Matt.
mr beat: far from home
Pretty much.
This is by far the most unexpected move made by Mr. Beat. Welcome to KL!
6:11. Rather than police officers, those that appeared in the video are security guards. They are not the police.
Yeah I think you’re right. Seemed to be some kind of security.
Exactly. If there is one thing lacking in Malaysia, it is law enforcement. There is zero law enforcement in Malaysia. Security guards are all over the place in every single mall, hotel, condminium etc. but they are not law enforcement.
Word i learned today was "Globalization" and i think that make sense because i used to not speaks in English everyday but as an application specialist in the city, I've met many people all around the world. And yes. I'm Malaysian.
Thats's crazy that you are in Malaysia. I am actually flying to Malaysia for the first time to visit a friend next week. Last thing I would expect to see a video of you over there lol. It will farthest away from home I have ever been also. But I am very excited!
Safe travels to you!
Off to KL?
I hope you will have a nice stay here.
Welcome to Malaysia! Next time visit the Borneo Side of Malaysia, my home state of Sarawak and neighbours Sabah State! Love ur vids on American History (love that tone tinged with folksiness kekeke)
Malaysian Jayhawk here. So damn cool to see you visiting my home country and especially wearing some Jayhawk gear around town. I miss Lawrence and Overland Park a ton and wish I could just teleport and pay a visit. Hope you enjoyed your stay, do come back sometime!
Welcome to Malaysia. I have been to US 2 times in 2006. Malaysians are open minded people . they do not react weird when meeting with different colours of people. Relax and polite.
Ha! Nice to see you interacting with Nomad Capitalist. I’ve known of him for quite a while, has a fascinating perspective on the world. Glad you like Malaysia, great country!
The furthest I have ever been away from home is when I was in Las Vegas. I have never been outside the United States.
It's Detroit for me
Erbil for me
That is the furthest I’ve been from home recently and I live in California but I did go to Mexico in 2012
Where do you live? Not even Canada or Mexico?
@chefssaltybawlz you can be further away from Las Vegas than Mexico (or Canada, if you don't mean the East) and still be in the US
Congrats on exploring the world! Everyone should see the world! I have been to many countries and I had a blast. Malaysia is one of the few I haven't been to.
Hello from one of your Malaysian subscriber
Hey Mr Beat! I am a Malaysian viewer of yours and you have been a big inspiration for me. Because if you, I got into malaysian political history and even make videos parodying your American Presidential Election vids! Thanks for inspiring me and visiting my country! You helped me discover how interesting political history is❤
I'm a firm believer that anyone who has the means to travel, even if it is just to some other town or state/province, absolutely should. To break the monotony and to explore somewhere new, with different languages, cultures, customs, and cuisines is such a mind opening experience if you have only lived in a place of monoculturalism. So many prejudices can be broken just by interacting with the "others", and you end up realizing we're all the same, just a little different here and there.
My wife, our 1 year and 2 month old toddler and i just went on a trip to Japan. It was absolutely incredible. The flight was insane (two flights one 3 hours and one 13 hours), but the people were so nice and loved interacting with our son. We tried very hard to learn as much Japanese before we went, but it seems like most people spoke better English than we spoke Japanese. It did come in handy when my wife accidently dropped her phone off the side of a mountain trail. It luckily didn't fall far and a very nice couple called the park staff who were able to get it for us. I've heard Japan can be rough to immigrate to as an American, but visiting was great and i really hope we're able to go back some day.
I actually been to Malaysia and it was really nice, everything was cheap and the towers were nice. It would be cool if you did a comparison video but you actually visited the places
Here's how the Nomad Capitalist video turned out: ua-cam.com/video/hGvgJ1FYUlY/v-deo.html
Whoever told you that you were going to be kidnapped in Malaysia needs to get out more often. This sounds like a typical American who thinks that traveling is going to Orlando, Branson Missouri or Las Vegas. From my experience, I can tell you that you’re just scratching the surface of Malaysia in KL. Next time, I would recommend Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Ipoh. The country is very welcoming and perfectly safe.
I agree, and thanks for the tips!
Going to Branson, Las Vegas or Orlando is traveling. Just because something isn't on the other side of the world doesn't mean it's not traveling; that's silly and not what the word means. I agree that a fear of being kidnapped in Malaysia is absurd. Casual anti-Americanism is pretty easy and popular to do on the internet but in my experience people are both "typical" and stupid everywhere
@@3DaysIn : I disagree. Unless there’s something that you don’t recognize on your plate and they’re not speaking your lingo, you’re just transiting from one Applebees to another. Sure there are interesting things to see in this country (the biggest ball of yarn) or the Grand Canyon but aside from that, it’s all the same to this traveler who is now well past his 50th country visited. It’s a big world beyond America and it’s time for America to find that out.
been watching your videos since i was an insomniac student in nebraska. hope you enjoyed your stay here!
A fellow Malaysian here! been a fan of your channel for years now, I’m glad to hear your views on our country, the recent Ishowspeed visit here kinda ruined the country’s image abit, and yeah, multiracialism is something us Malaysians take pride on 😃
Can you explain about ishowspeed you said..did he do stupid things in malaysia.
You mentioned that there are police everywhere, including the shopping malls. They're not police. They are security guards. The uniform of Malaysia's police are navy blue or dark blue. The uniform of the security guards are white shirt and black pants. They're found almost everywhere, including shopping malls.
Mr beat in a suit? My eyes my eyes can't take it... Say it isn't so... I love Mr Beats down to earth content and I really enjoyed this video of a place I will never go
OMG YOU WENT TO MALAYSIA??? THAT'S WHERE I LIVE!!!! I'VE ALSO BEEN TO THE PLACES YOU WENT TO IN THIS VIDEO!!!
Giddiness aside, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here. I'm from Selangor and am almost always taken aback by how outwardly liberal the people in KL are whenever I visit. KL is more like its own country because of how different it is compared to the other, more conservative parts of Malaysia. I guess that's just the reality of being a metropolis.
With regards to you having more solidarity with Chinese folks, I think it's partially because they're generally more fluent in English and also much more caught up with global developments than Malay and Indian folks. As a Malay myself, I've noticed that we have this very stuck-up attitude about us since we're considered to be the "original" settlers of Malaysia (whatever that means) and are thus granted more privileges such as easier access to higher education and more opportunities to buy land. This also makes Malays pretty xenophobic and averse to English and all things considered "western." I can't say anything about Indians here since I'm not really familiar with their culture.
Also, yeah, you were probably treated well because you're a white foreigner lol. People here are quick to trip over themselves to a borderline obsequious degree when they realize they're dealing with a rich white foreigner. Whenever I go to KL, I'm always met with curt responses to my questions. But hey, maybe I've just had bad experiences idk.
Anyways, good video! It's rare to see an outside perspective on this country.
Biasanya orang bercakap gaya mcmni ada masalah keluarga
Attitudes-wise, I'd say Indians are kind of in the middle
Obviously you are Chinese pretending to be Malay..😂
Hahahaha... I am hooked watching your video in my parked car under the sun. Because it is laced and coated and peppered with humour one after another 😁.
There are millions of people from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal etc etc in Malaysia. So we welcome everybody, with money or without money. We believe in UNITY in DIVERSITY.
I can't believe that the Mr. Beat is in Malaysia. I have been a huge fan of you and I learned so much about American history because of you
I went to Poland this summer and loved it. I'll wanna go back again
I would love to visit Poland.
I would absolutely watch a Mr. Beat travel series! Great video, I’d love to go to Kuala Lumpur some day
MR BEAT IN MALAYSIA LETS GOOOOOOOO WE LOVE YOU MR BEAT. LOVE FROM MALAYSIA RAHHHHHHHHHh
Hi Mr Beat, thanks for the good words about Malaysia. Hope you enjoy your time here.
Your channel has many followers here because most of us understand English.
I think that was about the best Mr Beat video I've ever watched (not that I think American presidents are boring mind).
Woah, thanks! And here it's a 10/10 so far. :/
7:31 I'm an iraq love your channel matt❤
Woah, cool! How are things in Iraq these days? I watch many Iraq videos and it seems much better than it was 10 years ago.
@iammrbeat well not really the electricity still cuts every 2 hours or so the currency isn't great people are uneducated but no wars yet!!! And the 9 year old marriage law. But your videos give me hope for the future so thank you matt❤️
A Malaysian U of Oregon Alma Mater welcomes you to KL. Hope you enjoy your adventures here to bring back to Kansas.

Wow! Mr Beat in Malaysia!
okay. just subscribed and i am a malaysian currently watching your channel for the first time. **thanks to the algorithm .. 😁😁
Welcome to this humble & friendly country, Malaysia
Hi Mr. Beatt! I’m indonesian who’ve been subscribing your channel for a while, and I think going to the KL is the best decision you could possibly do in order to learn about southeast asian culture in general.
It’s the perfect hub of south, east, and southeast asian culture, it’s modern, it’s clean, not too crowded like Jakarta or Manila, not as touristy as Bangkok, not really that strict as Singapore, and definitely the citizens speak better english than citizens in Hanoi, Pnom Penh, Laos, or Myanmar.
Thank you so much for trying durian, I hope you love it wkwkwk

This is so crazy, i just started watching few of your videos and you visited my country? What a coincidence lol
For people who dislike or don’t enjoy durian, one should at least consume it just purely for its health benefits. Durian is the most nutrients and minerals rich fruit in the world. High in vitamins (C & B6), mostly monounsaturated fats (which is considered “heart-healthy fats that helps to regulate cholesterol’s level), fiber, thiamine, manganese, potassium, riboflavin, copper, folate, magnesium and niacin. It’s also rich in healthy plant compounds like anthocyanins, carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids. Many of these function as antioxidants.
In simple terms, durian helps to reduce cancer risk, prevent heart disease, fight infection & inflammation, lower or regulate blood sugar & pressure levels, promote digestive health & heart health, aid in weight management (diet control), support brain health, and many other benefits.
Durian is high in calories and carbohydrates as well. One should consume it in moderation. People with kidney disease or problems following a low-potassium diet should avoid durian as the fruit is very high in potassium. People following a low-carb diet may also want to avoid or limit the fruit as it is very high in carbohydrates.
Durian is rich in fiber, which may cause digestive side effects such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in people who are not used to fiber-rich foods. If your diet is low in fiber, you can introduce durian and other high-fiber foods in small amounts to let your body adapt to a higher fiber intake, and then increase your consumption slowly.
Durian is potentially harmful in combination with alcohol. Consuming durian at the same time as alcohol can cause problems. Scientists believe that sulfur-like compounds in durian may prevent certain enzymes from breaking down alcohol, causing increased alcohol levels in your blood. This could lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting and heart palpitations. To be safe, avoid eating durian and drinking alcohol at the same time😊
Welcome to Malaysia 🎉
A KL boy here! Currently in Singapore for university! Welcome to our capital!
When I lived in south Jersey I met people that had never left the state before, with places like Philly and Deleware just 40-50mins away & NYC 1.5-2hrs away.
Another Malaysian just followed you... I studied in the US for 6 years... 1983-1988
