📌 Hey everyone, we read your comments and it's gotten way out of hand. My video went viral on Facebook facebook.com/MelanieGuintuOfficial and with that, comes a variety of misinterpretations fb.watch/rxtREThbL2/ This is all a misunderstanding and it’s a shame that one video can stand out of all the hundreds of positive videos. People always leave a negative review when something bad happens but rarely leave a positive review when something good happens so the reviews tend to be skewed. Let's stop the hate, cyber-bullying and keyboard warriors. To be clear, we just arrived in Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and this was our first encounter outside of the airport. The Grab driver did not say hello to us, then hit my partner's head with the trunk without apologizing, and then slammed the door with our bag straps out. How would you feel? Not once did I show a bad attitude. In fact, we stayed smiling and I continued to say how beautiful Kuala Lumpur was. But sadly, no one noticed that. Watch the video again with an open mind so you can really see what happened. Also there's a huge misunderstanding: There is no long queue line waiting behind us. It's a pick up and drop off parking area. There is another lane which is the actual main road and it’s empty. There is no traffic. The car that was honking was trying to get the attention of their passenger, because it’s a passenger pick up area. No one was honking at us. As travelers, we understand that first impressions right out of the airport especially with taxi drivers aren’t a good representation of a country. But wow, the nasty comments got way out of hand and to be honest, it didn’t deserve it. No one deserves it and we hope not everyone is like this. If you watch this whole video, we try to stay positive and enjoy the beauty of Kuala Lumpur. No one really credited that. We know we're good people and we hope that everyone can move on with their day. We will continue to search for the kindness of locals and will post the usual positive travel content moving forward ❤
Malaysia is multicultural and multi religions country beside Malay as native and aborigines and also indigenous people in Borneo many people around the world immigrated to this land included Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Europeans. Malaysia also was colonised for 400 years by Portuguese, Dutch then British hence the diverse society. British brought many labours from India and China to work in rubber estates and tin mining. 60% of Malaysians are Malays and indigenous 25% Chinese, 11% Indians and 4% foreign workers and expats. Malaysia is also popular destination for Koreans, Japanese and retired Europeans. There are nearly 4 millions foreign workers from Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam etc for low skills work. Malaysia is also one of top 10 destination for international students..
Malaysia is so multi-cultural it makes it so unique and beautiful that way!! Oh woow I love the history lesson about why there are so many Chinese and Indians and Arabs in Malaysia!! That makes me even more interested in Malaysia and it's rich culture thank you for teaching me that!!
The meal you ate was our national dish called ‘nasi lemak’ where they have many versions of it. Nasi is Malay word means Rice and Lemak is mean Creamy due to rice cook with coconut milk. However the basic one is coconut rice infused with fragrance pandan leaf, fried anchovies and peanut, sambal sauce, cucumber. Then you can add some protein eg fried chicken or chicken and beef rendang, squid, etc. It’s a Malay dish however other ethnicities have their own version of fusion of nasi lemak. It used to be served for breakfast but now you can have it all the time for lunch or dinner. Even McDonald and KFC also serve their own version of nasi lemak.
Hi Hafiz! Nasi Lemak is my new favorite!!! Oh wow I did not know that Nasi Lemak means "creamy rice"! That makes it sound even more delicious! I did not know that there are different versions of Nasi Lemak! Oh wow it's a breakfast food? I ate Nasi Lemak for dinner hahah. OMG I have to try Nasi Lemak at McDonalds and KFC thank you!!! 🤩
@@MelanieGuintu You’re welcome and Selamat Datang ke Malaysia! :). Btw you supposed to mix all of it while eating nasi lemak, anchovies and peanut are not side snack but it’s part of the dish, but be careful as some version of sambal sauces can be a bit spicier than others, so just mix it a bit and try it first before mix it altogether. Other Malaysian popular dishes are Nasi Kerabu with mixed veggies, varieties of Laksa, Char Kuey Teow (similar to Pad Thai but different taste), Satay (Sate), and Roti Canai (pronounced as Roti Chanay) Malaysian flatbread which has been voted as the best bread in the world in 2023 by Taste Atlas and the 2nd best dish among 100 most popular dishes in the world for 2023/24, and many other varieties of foods, desserts and drinks.
Penangite here... that definitely looks authentic, however, it will never be the same as what's on the streets here. So hopefully you guys come here to Penang, if you want true authenticity. Lorong Seratus Tahun is a real road here in Penang means "100 year old lane", Famous for their Curry Noodles here. But if you don't like spicy, I wouldn't recommend it. 😅 Anyway, that driver gives off gangster vibes, lol.
I travel to Malaysia often and have found bringing cash to change is the best when travelling there (just be careful!). When you exchange your currency, stay away from money changers in touristy areas (airports, local attractions), and shop around before you choose a money changer. Different malls around the city often have multiple money changers and they generally compete to give you the best rate. It's generally not a massive difference depending on how much you exchange, but getting a little extra ringgit could pay for another meal or two during your stay.
“Selamat Dtg ke Msia”- u say it right girl.. the intonation like local. When rent a car, note that we drive in the right site.. use highway, it’s convenience. U need ‘Touch n go’ card for toll, etc. Explore our islands-Langkawi, Perhentian kecil & Tioman. Don’t forget the food - Ramly burger, cendol, ABC, Nasi ayam, nasi kerabu, roti canai, mee tiaw basah, Teh tarik, milo, sirap bandung, etc.
Correct. Touch n Go card is mandatory, no more cash payment. The card does link to an app which you could use as an e wallet, which you could top up electronically. Get the card either at major petrol stations or LRT/MRT train stations or similar.
Thank you Syaridzat! 🥰 OMG Ramly burger, cendol, nasi kerabu, mee tiaw basah, teh tarik, sirap bandung etc I've never heard of those before and I would love to try it!! Thank you for your recommendations 🤗
Selamat datang Melanie & Matt! To better understand about our culture, I'd suggest you visit our museum ie Muzium Negara located not far from where your stay.
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾 Hope you'll have Malaysian island in the list too. And if you're driving, you can explore historical Malacca which is about 1 hr 45 mins from KL
Thank you glamdott! OMG I don't hear a lot about Malaysian Islands I reallly wanna go!! And I never heard of Malacca that sounds so cool! Thanks for the recommendations!! 🫶🏽
You're most welcome ❤️ For a start, you can Google Perhentian Island & Redang Island which is off Terengganu coastlines. My sister is an avid diver, she owns a plot of land on the Perhentian Island. There are dive centers that offers boating & snorkeling if you're not a certified diver yet. Try and Google, see if you like it 🤩
@@MelanieGuintu hi. Still in malaysia? I am from Melaka and I would be happy to take both of you around. So far you did everything right - taking grab instead of airport taxi and airbnb instead of a hotel. Enjoy your stay!😊❤
17:56 if you dont know already, change your cam recording frequency to 50hz to eliminate the flickering. lights operate at 50hz; recording at a higher frequency will result in the flickering effect that occur under some lighting conditions.
It's just a few days until my trip to KL, and I was planning on getting an online eSIM before watching this video. While more convenient, $8 usd for only 2 GB is not the deal. My first stop will be Digi when I land.
Welcome to Malaysia, I am From Nothern Malaysia, there are so many thing you can do in Malaysia hiking, beaching, snorkeling, fishing and so much more with a reasonable price, pls visit our genting Highland, Sabah and serawak besides Ulu Legong, Baling Kedah. Pls visit Pangkor Island too.
*Welcome to Malaysia truly Asia good food, people beautiful beach, skyscrapers & others, Msian likes to lepak Mamak drink Teh Tarik Jom joining Malaysian 🇲🇾💙🧡♥️💙🇲🇾*
Malaysia also a beach county and country of thousand islands and hill mountains .. Try visit Cameron Highlands, pulau perhentian, langkawi island during ur guy stay Currently malaysia is practically practising no bags policy so it does force us to bring our own bag
OMG thank you so much for all those recommendations!! I always pictured Malaysia just as city life like KL now I would love to visit the beaches and hills and mountains in Malaysia!! 😍
@@MelanieGuintuKL is not just about cityscapes..theres an eco-park within the city centre itself at the foot of the KL Tower where you can hop on the canopy walk. Theres also a massive botanical gardens in the city, home of KL Bird Park ~ the largest free flight aviary in the world and many other parks. On the outskirts of KL city itself you can find nature attractions such as waterfalls and mountain resorts such as Genting Higlands, Bukit Tinggi and Frasers Hills. Further away from the hustle and bustle of city, you can find Cameron Highlands or take an overnight bus to the east coast for beautiful tropical islands such as Redang or Perhentian.
history on how chinese n indians came to malaysia.. malaysia .. like singapore.. is where foreign workers are brought in by the colonial british.. bk then it was just indians frm south of india.. they r to work in rubber plantations n other labour industries.. same with chinese.. was brought in to work at the tin mines arnd selangor n perak… forward to present day.. foreign workers frm indonesia.. n bangladesh.. were brought in to work in the construction sites n palm oil plantations.. plus other labour sectors… difference between the past n present is chinese n indians became malaysians after our independence.. while indonesians .. bangladeshis.. pakistanis.. etc were brought in just to fill in the labour sectors…. these foreign workers r not locked in n they r free to live their lives after working hour.. thus u can find multi races.. multi languages.. multi cultures etc.. live in malaysia… btw welcome to malaysia… 😅😅
This is my first time watching your video. I'm impressed Matt knows to use spoon to eat the rice, just like locals. Usually westerners would use fork to eat the rice, and it would make us gave them a strange look 🤭
Fun fact about Malaysia ethnic population if you see this, 55% Malay, 20% Chinese, 10% Indian, 8% Non-Malay indigenous and Borneon tribes, 5% Mixed and 2% Others
Penang (or Pulau Pinang) is one of the 14 state of Malaysia(Malaysia is a Federation of States type of nation) . The food is said to be originated from the state. Most of the restaurant workers in KL now are not local Malaysian. they came from Indonesian, Phiiliphines, Myanmar ,Vietnam, Laos and even from South Asian and west asian. So they might have problem to explain to you about the local authentic foods and some of them dont speak english well. and becareful with the beggars and homeless in KL, most of them are not locals and they are the Rohingyas Refugees from Myanmar.
Wow this is so good to know!! That's what makes KL diverse I literally feel like I am in Malaysia, India, and China all at once!! And wow most beggars and homeless in KL are refugees from Myanmar? Interesting to know!!
Glad to see you guys enjoyed the Malaysian street food, nasi lemak and char kway teow. Wow, two dishes and two drinks came up to almost USD10, it's quite expensive nowadays eating in the foodcourt at the mall. If you guys are still in KL, check out the Malay food in Kampung Baru, the Chinese food in Chinatown and the Indian food in Little India, the Middle eastern food in Bukit Bintang, the Japanese food at some of the malls, also in Bukit Bintang.
@@Yasin_Affandi Thanks Yasin!! Nasi lemak and char kway teow are my 2 favorite Malaysian foods so far!! Yes that did seem expensive but I think it's because it's inside the food court in KL Sunway Putra Mall so maybe I should try eating in local places!! WOWW Malay food in Kampung Baru, Chinese Food in Chinatown, Indian Food in Little India, Middle Eastern Food and Japanese food in Bukit Bintang!!! You are amazing for sharing these places and you know so much! I must visit them all thank you!! 😍🙏🏽
Thanks for choosing Malaysia as your destination... A lot of things you can explore in Malaysia... State of Johor n Malacca at south, Negeri Sembilan n Selangor at West.Pahang.Kelantan n Terengganu at East.also Penang,Kedah n Perlis at North of Malaysia You can also try our Beautiful place at Borneo..Sabah n Sarawak..
@@MelanieGuintu There is a movie theme park in Genting Highlands. It was supposed to be the 21st Century Fox theme park but the name of theme park was changed after Fox was acquired by Disney.
During the 19 & 20 century, british brought-in thousand of Chinese & indian workers to boom the economy. Majority of the malays not keen to collaborate or support the British as there are independence movement among the local malays. Some of them take-up weapons fighting (by hard way & diplomacy) for independence Malaya..
Hi. New subscriber. I’m a 70 yr female who will traveling alone. Love how you give prices etc.. could u explain also how you researched and found your apartment. Plus could u post the name of the building etc and how much it is? Please
Welcome to Malaysia. I want to see your video visiting Genting Highlands with beautiful casino inside. By bus can board at Pudu Sentral and KL Sentral around Rm20.00 By bus until Genting Premium Outlets (Shopping Mall) than proceed transfer to Skyways (cable car). Better stay one night there. Free entrance outdoor theme park after 6.00pm. Closed every Tuesday. Top floor same as cable car floor a lot of bir shops at night with live bands. Cable car halfway can visit Chin Swee Temple than can continue your journey back. Cheapest Hotel is First World Hotel but inside very small. Only 1.5 hours from KL City or maybe less by car.
what country are you from? Indonesia? welcome to Malaysia I'm from Malaysia originally from Kelantan.. if you have time you can visit the state of Kelantan.. feel the unique food like ketupat sotong😊
omg welcome to malaysia!! i hope you have a great experience here!! So sorry about that rude grab driver hehe..i dont know whats have gotten into him like... by the way if you are interested in tropical islands here, you can visit the redang island, tioman island or perhentian island in the west..for the east you can visit semporna...If you want to visit historical places you can visit Malacca city and Georgetown penang!! theres plenty of amazing food in Penang and Malacca too!!must visit!!
Thank you so much!! I feel so welcome in Malaysia 🥰 I would love to visit the tropical islands! Wow I never heard of Redang Island or Tioman Island or Perhentian Island before!! I will also list all those other places you mentioned you know a lot!! Thank you for your recommendations in Malaysia!! 😍
24:03 basically , what the real history want to tell you is, The British colonials brought the Chinese from China to Malaysia (Malaya That time) to save them from the persecution of the China Emperor during Opium War in 19th century because they collaborated with the British againts their own emperor. The native Malays those days sees the British as colonials and dont want to work with them to plunder the wealth of the nation back to London. Most of the native malays were the one who fought the British for independence . While you in Malaysia, you will keep hearing the Malaysian Chinese calling the Malays as lazy.
The best MALAYSIAN foods you guys must try is such..nasi lemak@wanjo..nasi kandar..nasi kerabu..nasi goreng kampong..nasi ayam..satay@samuri satay kajang..mee curry..asam laksa..roti canai..and most popular burger the best local burger is RAMLY BURGER..so pls explore more streets foods..
@@MelanieGuintu Hotlink is Maxis.. Hotlink is the plan.. it is the most used network plan in Malaysia.. Celcom is second to it.. Digi nowadays already merged with Celcom.. Celcom got xpac for their plan..
@@MelanieGuintuhotlink is the prepaid package. Maxis, celcom and digi are the big 3 of malaysian telco. If u dont travel outside klang valley, digi is the best choice (coverage and speed wise)
Can't compare bali with kl. One is a holiday destination island, one is a capital city and transportation hub like singapore. Also pad thai is a thai food created before ww2, while char kuey tiaw is a chinese dish. They are not related. But i am glad both of you tried malaysian food although quite expensive in the mall compared to street stalls.
Hopefully the Grab driver not ruining your stay here..that’s rude attitude..this type of driver only does that for cash & didn’t think about others feeling especially tourist..he’s not representing Malaysian at all..sorry for that ya..hope you enjoy your stay here..
Just ignore that driver attitude,he doesn't represent us as a whole.We love interacting with people all over the world that came here for holiday or stay on long term basis. Maybe he woke up at the wrong side of the bed 😂😂
Attitude apa pulak ni. Pompuan ni yang tak da attitude. Nak tahu kenapa sila ke FB dia tengok rakyat Malaysia punya komen. Betapa bangangnya pompuan ni.
It is not about chinese malaysia... Many ori chinese from china land in 2024 coming to malaysia and not going home.. It is hard to trace them because they look the same😊😊😊 there a hundred thousand of them.. 😊😊😊 anyway handred thousand of vietnam myammar indonesian pakistan indian bangladesh syria palestine rohingya refugee thailand some country same europian..yeahhh malaysia is s land of peace.. Let us live together with love and peace smile to it other not care were u came from.... 😊😊😊
Those chinese who came from mainland of China to Malaysia as a tourist, recently (couple of years ago) and never returned, can be easily recognised... they cannot speak malay neither english. For your information... all Malaysian citizens (regardless chinese, indian or other races) speak malay (melayu) and they (other than Malay (Melayu)) are allowed to speak their own language among themselves and most of us can speak english.
China mainland Chinese speak different Mandarin accent. Also many local Malaysian Chinese don't really use mandarin as everyday language. Many speak their own language such Cantonese,hokkien, hakka..
📌 Hey everyone, we read your comments and it's gotten way out of hand.
My video went viral on Facebook facebook.com/MelanieGuintuOfficial and with that, comes a variety of misinterpretations fb.watch/rxtREThbL2/
This is all a misunderstanding and it’s a shame that one video can stand out of all the hundreds of positive videos.
People always leave a negative review when something bad happens but rarely leave a positive review when something good happens so the reviews tend to be skewed.
Let's stop the hate, cyber-bullying and keyboard warriors.
To be clear, we just arrived in Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and this was our first encounter outside of the airport.
The Grab driver did not say hello to us, then hit my partner's head with the trunk without apologizing, and then slammed the door with our bag straps out. How would you feel?
Not once did I show a bad attitude. In fact, we stayed smiling and I continued to say how beautiful Kuala Lumpur was. But sadly, no one noticed that. Watch the video again with an open mind so you can really see what happened.
Also there's a huge misunderstanding: There is no long queue line waiting behind us. It's a pick up and drop off parking area. There is another lane which is the actual main road and it’s empty. There is no traffic.
The car that was honking was trying to get the attention of their passenger, because it’s a passenger pick up area. No one was honking at us.
As travelers, we understand that first impressions right out of the airport especially with taxi drivers aren’t a good representation of a country. But wow, the nasty comments got way out of hand and to be honest, it didn’t deserve it. No one deserves it and we hope not everyone is like this.
If you watch this whole video, we try to stay positive and enjoy the beauty of Kuala Lumpur. No one really credited that.
We know we're good people and we hope that everyone can move on with their day.

During the 19 & 20 century, british brought-in thousand of Chinese & indian workers to boom the economy. Majority of the malays not keen to collaborate or support the British as there are independence movement among the local malays. Some of them take-up weapons fighting (by hard way & diplomacy) for independence Malaya..
Wow that is such a cool history lesson! That really makes Malaysia so unique!

Welcome to Malaysia. I want to see your video visiting Genting Highlands with beautiful casino inside. By bus can board at Pudu Sentral and KL Sentral around Rm20.00 By bus until Genting Premium Outlets (Shopping Mall) than proceed transfer to Skyways (cable car). Better stay one night there. Free entrance outdoor theme park after 6.00pm. Closed every Tuesday. Top floor same as cable car floor a lot of bir shops at night with live bands. Cable car halfway can visit Chin Swee Temple than can continue your journey back. Cheapest Hotel is First World Hotel but inside very small. Only 1.5 hours from KL City or maybe less by car.
Wow thank you so much for your awesome recommendations! We will definitely check those places out and make a vlog about it!! ❤

24:03 basically , what the real history want to tell you is, The British colonials brought the Chinese from China to Malaysia (Malaya That time) to save them from the persecution of the China Emperor during Opium War in 19th century because they collaborated with the British againts their own emperor. The native Malays those days sees the British as colonials and dont want to work with them to plunder the wealth of the nation back to London. Most of the native malays were the one who fought the British for independence . While you in Malaysia, you will keep hearing the Malaysian Chinese calling the Malays as lazy.

Welcome to my country. Enjoy your adventure.

Hi Ruel!!!
@@MelanieGuintu love your content, and it's amazing watching your channel grow. You have what it takes to be successful, I can tell.
@@ruel_1 awww thanks so much Ruel!! That means a lot to me 🥰💐 I hope you're doing well! Where are you now?
I'm alright, I'm in Florida right now, I should be back in Bali late October this year, I'm so excited to go back.
@@ruel_1 Florida is looking like the next hotspot for Californian's looking to live there! And yay, back to Bali! I'm excited for you 🤩
Welcome to malaysia. Penang is one of the 14 states in malaysia.
Thank you Andrew! Wow! I didn't know that their were 14 states in Malaysia! Would be cool to visit them all! 🤩
@@MelanieGuintu Malaysian flag has 14 stripes.....now you know why..
@@mohdzaki1089 This is great to know thank you Moh! 🇲🇾
Maxis/Hotlink, Digi, and Celcom is the best line in Malaysia.. Others are just average..
Ohhh I haven't heard of Maxis! Maxis is the same company as Hotlink?
@@MelanieGuintuyes....
@@mohdzaki1089 I would like to try Hotlink next!
@@MelanieGuintu Hotlink is Maxis.. Hotlink is the plan.. it is the most used network plan in Malaysia.. Celcom is second to it.. Digi nowadays already merged with Celcom.. Celcom got xpac for their plan..
@@MelanieGuintuhotlink is the prepaid package. Maxis, celcom and digi are the big 3 of malaysian telco. If u dont travel outside klang valley, digi is the best choice (coverage and speed wise)
Can't compare bali with kl. One is a holiday destination island, one is a capital city and transportation hub like singapore.
Also pad thai is a thai food created before ww2, while char kuey tiaw is a chinese dish. They are not related. But i am glad both of you tried malaysian food although quite expensive in the mall compared to street stalls.
I mean via the land crossing.
Matt is a very lucky guy.

Hopefully the Grab driver not ruining your stay here..that’s rude attitude..this type of driver only does that for cash & didn’t think about others feeling especially tourist..he’s not representing Malaysian at all..sorry for that ya..hope you enjoy your stay here..
Penang is one of the stateS in Malaysia
Welcome to borneo.. eh malaysia
Melanie you are actually Filipino living in US ?
Yes! 😊 But now I travel a lot so I am living everywhere hehe
Just ignore that driver attitude,he doesn't represent us as a whole.We love interacting with people all over the world that came here for holiday or stay on long term basis.
Maybe he woke up at the wrong side of the bed 😂😂
Attitude apa pulak ni. Pompuan ni yang tak da attitude. Nak tahu kenapa sila ke FB dia tengok rakyat Malaysia punya komen. Betapa bangangnya pompuan ni.

It is not about chinese malaysia... Many ori chinese from china land in 2024 coming to malaysia and not going home.. It is hard to trace them because they look the same😊😊😊 there a hundred thousand of them.. 😊😊😊 anyway handred thousand of vietnam myammar indonesian pakistan indian bangladesh syria palestine rohingya refugee thailand some country same europian..yeahhh malaysia is s land of peace.. Let us live together with love and peace smile to it other not care were u came from.... 😊😊😊
Those chinese who came from mainland of China to Malaysia as a tourist, recently (couple of years ago) and never returned, can be easily recognised... they cannot speak malay neither english.
For your information... all Malaysian citizens (regardless chinese, indian or other races) speak malay (melayu) and they (other than Malay (Melayu)) are allowed to speak their own language among themselves and most of us can speak english.
They speak different dialect of chinese. Mainland mandarin =/= malaysian mandarin.
China mainland Chinese speak different Mandarin accent. Also many local Malaysian Chinese don't really use mandarin as everyday language. Many speak their own language such Cantonese,hokkien, hakka..
@@isdin4775 Ohh that's why I heard so many different languages being spoken! Very cool!
