I'm Malaysian currently working in Sydney. To be honest : Australia = Better job opportunities, Better education system Malaysia = Multicultural living, World Halal Hub, Cheap healthcare system, Better transportation system
@@themothfamily it is fun, my best friend is Indian, i am Malay, my next door neighbour is Chinese, during our Eid, everyone come, when Deepavali, we go to my Indian friend house, eat Tosai, when Chinese New year we celebrate with them, watch lion dance, diversity make unity and we are like one big family😁🇲🇾♥️
We are not 'honking culture' country...its considered rude here to honking without no reason...we just use it for emergency case...most tourist also notice this when they travel in other South East Asian countries...
You are absolutely right about the shopping centers and shopping malls. They are everywhere, so many of them compared to Australia, so much so when I went to Melbourne, I find it boring by comparison. Another attraction is the shopping malls are not just for shopping but for entertainment and great food places as well. The variety of food, restaurants and prices are very appealing.
Awwww ... glad to hear you're loving this country. It's not perfect but it is our home. Certainly the best 'First impression of KL/Msia' I've come across.
On safety, just because no one touched your luggages at the arcade, does not mean it cannot happen. Crime is related to opportunity we give to criminals. I do agree places with cctvs tend to be better than a lonely street with no lights (do not take risk)
Want to try different foods in KL? 1. Malay food - Kampung Bharu 2. Chinese - Chinatown 3. Indian - Brickfields Then, get out of KL and head to Ipoh, Penang to the north. Spend sometime in Sabah too. Go hiking, swimming, stroll by the beach and in between.... eat. Eat, chat, sleep and repeat. Bring with u an umbrella and a big bottle of water. It either rains or it's hot. Have an enjoyable and safe holidays. If u ever in need of help, chat with a Malaysian. From a fellow Malaysian with lots of love and respect.
@@themothfamily yeah we lost a lot of local business during the pandemic and some still cutting their operation hours including restaurants, shops and factories. My buzzing small town is quite quieter these days after 9pm compared to before the pandemic where there's a lot of 24/7 or diners that opened till 3am 😅
Your video has given me a glimpse of the wonders of Kuala Lumpur! 😊 The way you've captured the beauty of the place is breathtaking, and it makes me want to pack my bags and head there right away. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience with us. Like and support from Hyderabad. 🙌🌳
Me as a Malaysian here in Australia really missed my country. The reason why Malaysia is not a disabled country because u can't see any disabled by themselves.. always with an assistant and hardly u can see them around
We find honking offensive when near schools, places of worship, hospitals and business centres...we only honk when there's an actual obstruction on the road, a matter of life or death . Thanks for liking Malaysia...welcome and stay safe and beautiful 🥰 Make friends with the locals and don't be shy to ask for help . If you want to stay in Malaysia, in kl areas like kiara/mont kiara has a huge expat community.
Let me just add to that. Honking often is like... You may start a fight with that. I honk less, i let it be, doesnt want a road argument to ruin my day. 😂
If you met a person couldn't speak English, very likely they are non- Malaysians. We have a lot of foreign workers minding the streets and cleaning garbage and toilets , construction laborers, non-governmental counters etc. Basically the unskilled manual workers. Many came from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines. One thing so obvious are the Security guards. Nearly 100% of them are foreign. You find they not able to speak English well.
Are you sure they can speak english? The present generation especially those from the majority cannot speak. Maybe know certain words such durian,bas, ketchup,computer etc.
Thanks guys, top video. I live in Sydney Australia and I am surprised about how nice Malaysia is this is the third video I have seen and every single one was very happy
I think the reason the walkway/roads crack is mostly because it rains heavily down here. You'll notice after rainy season, there will be potholes everywhere. No matter what the cause, it will cause damage on our wheels.
Good to know that u guys like Malaysia...n Jimmy, u can easily pass as a malaysian with that face...here if you don't want a strong coffee, order flat white
Welcome to the foodie capital of the world and truly Asia guys!try sampling our Nasi Campur or mixed rice during lunch to really have an idea of what Malaysian foods are all about!am from NYC and have been eating my way the world over,yet still coming back for Malaysian taste..its Ramadan now,so try going to ramadhan bazaar cattered everywhere!enjoy guys!
Love your commentary on MY! Most are spot-on! :) Yes, we are a diverse, friendly, humble and patriotic people. We don't claim to be the best and there are still many areas for improvement. The politicians here are just like elsewhere - very often using race/religion/culture topics to gain support for their own agenda and raise tension between the diverse races. However, we're like sibbling - we may squabble at times but we'd usually unite against 'external' threats. I just hope that as we progress and become more developed and prosperous, we Malaysians will stay grounded, tolerant and stick to our collectivistic culture instead of becoming very individualistic.
Awesome vid! We recently came from KL as well and did some vlogs there. Malaysia is truly a beautiful country and we will definitely head back there again. Too much to do on such little time.
I'm not a morning person but I do know there are shops open for early breakfast too (7-8am onwards). Also there's side stalls that's open to cater for workers to pack some breakfast as well on their way to office.
Disabled friendly buildings are work in progress. Old heritage buildings are not included. However, I can see our mrt, lrt stations are reasonable as they have lifts. Some newer shoplots in towns do have ramps.
1. Whilst in general it is safe to leave your luggage around careful with your computer/cameras bags. Especially where's its easy getaway with motobikes 2. Malaysia's property is very highly driven by property development so malls, shophouses and accomodation. 3. Local food breakfast places opens early but the mid range and high end opens late cause of low demand for early food due to the prices. However, certain office building has the kind of breakfast you want catering for the the high level executives.
Hi Jimmy, Pauline.. Just stumbled into this video. Glad you're having a good time here. If you have the time, explore the islands in the east coast and as well some of the other states for more local/rural vibe. The food there are worth trying. Also for safety sake, be wary of your surroundings on the road especially around motorbikes. We used to have high level of snatch theft on bikes., but now its rare. But, do keep on being alert. Enjoy your holidays guys!
There are actually plenty of food stalls or restaurants open early in the morning even as early as 7am in the morning. Some restaurants such as dim sum restaurants and road side stalls that cater to the working crowd would be open for business already. Not sure where you went, by around 7.30am - 8am, most Chinese coffee shops (non-air-conditioning shops with individual stalls) would also be opened for business. There are also 24 hours mamak restaurants. Do look around a little more or at some other places, you might find them.
Breakfast places open at 6 a.m (or earlier) because people start their shifts at 7 a.m or 8 a.m. Mostly small tables on pavements or stalls or hawkers at certain food courts. Depends on the neighborhood and the proximity to offices & factories. They close for the day around 10 a.m or 11 a.m 🌅 It's hard for non locals to understand this 'system'. The small operators have no presence beyond their operating hours (no signage, no footprint, no food truck) 😂
Salam. Now in Holy Month of Ramadhan, a fasting month for Muslim, both of you do not miss to visit Bazar Ramadhan in Kuala Lumpur to find variety of food. You will be amazed...
I have been residing in Brisbane for almost a decade, I decided to come back to Malaysia because the cost of living in Australia is sky rocketed. Yes, you are absolutely right. Malaysia will be a best country in South East Asia for retirement.
your video bring smile to me, but deep inside my mind n heart I do worried either us (Malaysian) can maintain our humble culture n stay as it is now if there's gonna be a lot of International traveler came here... Don't get me wrong, we do very welcome everybody to come here, just hoping they gonna respect us n our culture n me personally hoping Malaysia will stay as Malaysia, cultural, tolerance n friendly... Malaysia, Truly Asia....
You can have breakfast at 7am, 8am. There are mamak restaurants, Chinese restaurants that open early. Maybe you used to eat in a mall because malls opens after 10am.
Did you know that the world's largest Milo manufacturing plant is in Malaysia? Lol I know right. Oh you definitely gotta try the milo here..we love milo (psst it's better than yours aussies hehe) It's literally everywhere. Also, available in most fast food restaurants like McDonald's. Or we called it Mekdi/mcd. Have fun.
as a malaysian, i would say : KL is rather (very! actually~ 😆) family friendly. and, malaysia would be a boring destination for party people. but thailand is just a short flight away..😁but when you are tired of partying and the noises in other SEA countries, come to Malaysia to have a bit of tranquility and some peace of mind. btw, i would not say that KL/Malaysia is a safe country where you can leave your belongings without supervision. you are lucky this time round. 😁
@@pinetworkminer8377😅 beats me. 😁🤭 There are research/statistics data available online. But if you still want to ask for my personal encounters, then.... I have never seen any violent crime happened around me since... day 1? 😁🤭 Ok, on a more serious note, these crimes do make it to the news on and off, some happened between our beloved foreign workers, but I would say it is still not as often as some of our neighbouring countries'.
Welcome to MY😊. U r rite, Malaysians r very friendly n helpful too. About leaving ur belongings in public places u may need to b cautious as there r isolated theft cases committed by petty thieves sometimes mostly by drug addicts😅 Do njy ur stay n keep us updated with ur journey. Stay safe 😊
1. As you both mentioned, KL is much more than KLCC, so my advice to any Visitor coming to KL for the 1st time is, get away from the tourist traps of KL city, get out into the suburbs, where food is cheaper and as tasty if not better! 2. Penang is a good place to visit if you are looking for a combo of good food and if you want to be near beaches, Batu Ferringhi is a good place to stay. East Coast the beaches are probably better but communication in English will be a bit of a challenge. Down south, Johor Baru is a good place to be if you wish to pop over to Singapore for a Day trip cause Singapore is just over the Causeway from JB. For Pristine blue water Beaches, Sabah is a good destination. 3. Genting Highlands is a place that I would suggest you take your family to, you'll be surprise by what they have up there Enjoy your stay in Malaysia
Ozzie ozzie ozzie oi oi oi. I hear the aussie accent and I am subscribed lol. I am of malaysian origin leaving in melbourne australia. Whilst i love living in melbourne, KL is also one of my favourite destinations as another base and could definitely retire there or in Penang? Melaka (malacca)?
Subang Jaya is in Selangor,not in KL. I am of Selangor origin,but I find the local council is not doing a good job in terms of road maintenance and public facility.So sad.
ever since my mother started having to move around in a wheelchair, I really have to say Malaysia needs a lot of improvement in this aspect to make things easier for the disabled. I was just recently in Hatyai and one of the first things I noticed was that the sidewalks pretty much all have ramps. you'll hardly see that in KL, let alone other smaller towns in Malaysia. heck, it's even hard for able-bodied people to move around in the city safely, what with having to manoeuvre around traffic and finding your own pathways because there wasn't any pedestrian path.
I dont really trust youtuber as their view might be exaggerated a bit. However i remember back in 2012-2014 where social media is still a baby, I witness an elderly aussie guy with his daughter at jaya grocer subang jaya talking to the staff how beautiful and nice malaysia is and how lucky we are being a malaysian etc.(Its done off the camera btw). So to me malaysia isnt all that bad btw.
You don't honk unless that day you feel frisky and want to live dangerously. That's why we drink teh tarik in the morning before we do serious driving.
Actually there are few breakfast place open as early as 8am.. Look for LOKL Coffee and Kafe Kleptokrat. You can also try few nice cafe at Empire Subang also open as early as 8am like Jibby & Co and Lisette's Cafe. Hope it helps..
Hey mate, welcome to Malaysia! Btw, if you wish take a break for a day or 2 of the humid weather in KL. Do check out Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands or Fraser's hill...pretty cooling right over there. Have fun , cheers mate!
Like the slogan says, Malaysia is truly Asia. There's something for everyone no matter what your travel budget is. All you need to do is do your homework well before you come, and all will be well!😊✌️
Great feedback on the uneven pavement. There must be some rules to regulate it . Not a walking street so true . Perhaps it's too hot to walk around. I am Malaysian.
welcome to malaysia, your question is very popular topic in malaysia n laid on two issue:- 1 ) Cost of living meet your affordable n 2 ) what quality of life you can after you move here
Some people eat breakfast at home like me, thus going to a stall to eat breakfast so early is not common. So owners may not be able to justify the cost if they open 8am and close at 9pm. If they open at 11am to prepare for lunch crowd and ends at 12am or 11.30pm, those who wants supper can buy them. Those working graveyard shift at the port or at the hospital can grab a bite too. I know many tourists especially in islands like tioman and langkawi do complaint they cannot eat in the morning as shops are not open. It depends on locations too if they want to open early. Malaysians may drive past a nasi lemak stall at the roadside to take away and eat at the office too.
Malaysian dont horn unless it is really necessary like emergency etc.Malaysian always welcome tourist regardless of which country you come from.Food is the best due to diversities in Malaysia.Malaysia is one the best healthcare in the best if not the best.That is why more.and.more expart living in Malaysia.Glad you enjoy yr stay and cheers.
Nothing opens until 10 am? That's not quite true. Go to the local wet markets. There's always loads of food in and around those markets. And they're open as early as 6 am.
Thank you for the most honest comments. Malaysia do have some shortcomings when it comes to disabled friendly (talking from experience having disabled relatives). In Kuala Lumpur, it paints a different picture (I think many have great comments on their very own Vlogs) but outside of the metro, it's a totally different story - or rather the painful truth. We do have disabled parking - usually at important establishments like banks or department stores or government offices - unfortunately you may see that "non-disabled" drivers parking at "disabled parking space". (rarely the enforcement officers are nearby) True, that most pedestrian paths and roads are not disabled friendly - the only way is to drive or to ensure their seatings in public transport are secured. The typical excuses when asked why did they blatantly parked at the disabled parking space - "I'm on some urgent matters to settle", "I've put the hazard light on" and all other crappy things. (I've seen disabled drivers road-bullied as well - like impatient drivers honking them) On the other hand, generally speaking, most Malaysians respects the disabled, for example, if you have to park near to shops or grocery stores (outside KL) or even by the roadside - where the zone was not meant for the disabled, the vehicles will stop or try to maneuver in the safest way possible in order not to disturb disabled alighting from the vehicle or public transport. They will even stop to let the disabled cross the road - even sometimes park by the roadside, stopping the traffic to help them. (I know as I have experienced the kindness (and some ugly parts) of Malaysian motorists too many times when ferrying disabled relatives or elderly) Again, I think the authorities should seriously look into this matter and give more "rooms" for the disabled in future town plannings. And I sure hope that this video is an eye opener.
Malaysia is suitable for families vacation😍🥰, unlike Thailand,Philippines and Indonesia which is these countries is more for someone who wanted to have fun and partying vacations.
Cities in Malaysia would be best if sidewalks were prioritized. Unfortunately the authorities often ignore it and instead build more roads which result in worse congestion and quite difficult to walk.
Hahaha.. yes agreed with you that not many pedestrians for disabled people.. because they too have their own transportations..( cars for disabled and they prefer to be independent..)
Thats our problem in Australia. We are too arrogant. We get told we are the best liveable place in the world bla bla bla but apart from being the safest country in the world i am finding it hard to see where we excel. Yer we earn so much money but our education and homes are so expensive that its no where near high pay in fact its more like super low pay. Its also incredibly boring in Australia and thats putting it nicely
There is no heaven on earth.😅
For someone like me that split my time btw Queensland and Kl, there are +/- in both countries. Granted for comfy day 2 day life routine,malaysia is better.
However medical assistance is slightly lower standard (compared to aus, not taking cost into consideration, public health care system).
Malaysia also is not a migration country unlike aus.
Human right and maturity of politicians and its policies are much left to be desired.
And Malaysia is perhaps the only country that practising negative apartheid policy....
There are more advantages and monetary benefits awarded to majority race than the minority.😮
This is a great comparison!!!
You seriously wouldn't want to attempt to compare politics/politicians between AU and MY.
Err not the only county, but one of the country with native population that actually takes care of its native population 😊
@@themothfamily Malay Negative Apartheid Policy = Government granted Politics Party and Vernacular School for Chinese and Indian.

Yup. Aus treats her natives so well. LMAO
After you travel to other countries, and you arrive KL to compare, you will notice KL is the best place in the world. It just feels right and comfy.
I agree with that
KL can be the hub for businesses and "families" in Asia.
We do see alot fo families out and about
I'm Malaysian currently working in Sydney. To be honest :
Australia = Better job opportunities, Better education system

as a malaysian, i would say : KL is rather (very! actually~ 😆) family friendly. and, malaysia would be a boring destination for party people. but thailand is just a short flight away..😁but when you are tired of partying and the noises in other SEA countries, come to Malaysia to have a bit of tranquility and some peace of mind.
btw, i would not say that KL/Malaysia is a safe country where you can leave your belongings without supervision. you are lucky this time round. 😁
Great points
How common is violent crime/murder in KL/Malaysia?
@@pinetworkminer8377 well compared to the USA for instance
22x higher murder in the US compared to MY
7x Burgulry rate in US Compared to MY
@@pinetworkminer8377😅 beats me. 😁🤭
There are research/statistics data available online. But if you still want to ask for my personal encounters, then.... I have never seen any violent crime happened around me since... day 1? 😁🤭
Ok, on a more serious note, these crimes do make it to the news on and off, some happened between our beloved foreign workers, but I would say it is still not as often as some of our neighbouring countries'.
All details are spot on! Couldn’t agree more.
Thanks for watching Riki
Welcome to Malaysia. Enjoy your Holidays.🇲🇾🇲🇾👌👌😁
Thank you! Will do!
@@themothfamily My pleasure
Welcome to MY😊. U r rite, Malaysians r very friendly n helpful too. About leaving ur belongings in public places u may need to b cautious as there r isolated theft cases committed by petty thieves sometimes mostly by drug addicts😅
Do njy ur stay n keep us updated with ur journey. Stay safe 😊
Thankyou, i agree next time we will be more careful lol
1. As you both mentioned, KL is much more than KLCC, so my advice to any Visitor coming to KL for the 1st time is, get away from the tourist traps of KL city, get out into the suburbs, where food is cheaper and as tasty if not better!
2. Penang is a good place to visit if you are looking for a combo of good food and if you want to be near beaches, Batu Ferringhi is a good place to stay. East Coast the beaches are probably better but communication in English will be a bit of a challenge. Down south, Johor Baru is a good place to be if you wish to pop over to Singapore for a Day trip cause Singapore is just over the Causeway from JB. For Pristine blue water Beaches, Sabah is a good destination.
3. Genting Highlands is a place that I would suggest you take your family to, you'll be surprise by what they have up there
Enjoy your stay in Malaysia
fantastic advice!
Ozzie ozzie ozzie oi oi oi. I hear the aussie accent and I am subscribed lol. I am of malaysian origin leaving in melbourne australia. Whilst i love living in melbourne, KL is also one of my favourite destinations as another base and could definitely retire there or in Penang? Melaka (malacca)?
Haha, thank you so much. Both countries have pros and cons
You must be surprise Andrew from Nomad Capitalist Channel list Kuala Lumpur as one of the most liveable city not only in Asia but the whole world.
I agree with him lol
Great review guys. Terima kasih!😇🙏
Thank you so much!
Thats true. Cafe and restaurant will open late morning but mamak always opening morning 7-8am or 24hours
Great tip
Subang Jaya is in Selangor,not in KL.
I am of Selangor origin,but I find the local council is not doing a good job in terms of road maintenance and public facility.So sad.
Sorry to hear
We might make malls as our pitstop or malls hunting games something like that
haha
Welcome to Malaysia
Thanks so much, thanks for watching
at Klang valley have about 50 malls
Haha it wouldn't surprise me
I think you dont find the restaurant open early because it is fasting month. Usually they serve breakfast around 8am.
ever since my mother started having to move around in a wheelchair, I really have to say Malaysia needs a lot of improvement in this aspect to make things easier for the disabled. I was just recently in Hatyai and one of the first things I noticed was that the sidewalks pretty much all have ramps. you'll hardly see that in KL, let alone other smaller towns in Malaysia. heck, it's even hard for able-bodied people to move around in the city safely, what with having to manoeuvre around traffic and finding your own pathways because there wasn't any pedestrian path.
So sorry to hear about the difficulties moving around with your mum :(. I believe that freedom of movement for all should be a right, not a privilege
Welcome to Malaysia, Enjoy yr food
and tk care🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Will do!
The best thing about KL is it is cheap. Cheap food n accommodation. Everybody can travel to KL which is also a nice modern city.
Yep totally agrees!
You are most welcome to visit Petaling Jaya, Sunway, Subang Jaya on the LRT n MRT
Oh, we stayed in subang jaya. We love it there
Please don't take risk to leave your bags anywhere. - Malaysian
Yeah I think we got lucky
Low rate of crime doesn't mean it won't happen.. Just a gentle reminder ❤️❤️
@@duanencem205 Great point
I dont really trust youtuber as their view might be exaggerated a bit. However i remember back in 2012-2014 where social media is still a baby, I witness an elderly aussie guy with his daughter at jaya grocer subang jaya talking to the staff how beautiful and nice malaysia is and how lucky we are being a malaysian etc.(Its done off the camera btw). So to me malaysia isnt all that bad btw.
Malaysia is fantastic and the people are even better
You don't honk unless that day you feel frisky and want to live dangerously. That's why we drink teh tarik in the morning before we do serious driving.
Haha
Good advices to us. So Gov of Malaysia please take action. Kalau nk jadi negara maju. Oiii.
I agree
Actually there are few breakfast place open as early as 8am.. Look for LOKL Coffee and Kafe Kleptokrat. You can also try few nice cafe at Empire Subang also open as early as 8am like Jibby & Co and Lisette's Cafe. Hope it helps..
Thanks!
I do agree with you the whole of Malaysia are not disable friendly, I am disable my self , I hope the authorities heard your comment
Hopefully it's something they keep improving
Hey mate, welcome to Malaysia!
Btw, if you wish take a break for a day or 2 of the humid weather in KL. Do check out Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands or Fraser's hill...pretty cooling right over there.
Have fun , cheers mate!
We were just up in Cameron Highlands, SOoooo much cooler
@@themothfamily and I miss the autumn and fish market at NSW. Stay safe, enjoy!
@@XiaoHeiWu8964 Thanks so much
cool video. love it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Like the slogan says, Malaysia is truly Asia. There's something for everyone no matter what your travel budget is. All you need to do is do your homework well before you come, and all will be well!😊✌️
Great Advice
Great feedback on the uneven pavement. There must be some rules to regulate it . Not a walking street so true . Perhaps it's too hot to walk around. I am Malaysian.
very small con to a lot of positives. the current is changing so quickly
Very lovely family
You are so kind
✌️😁🇲🇾♥️🇦🇺
jom ke ramadhan bazar 😊 you try murtabak n roti john 😋
Will do
welcome to malaysia, your question is very popular topic in malaysia n laid on two issue:- 1 ) Cost of living meet your affordable n 2 ) what quality of life you can after you move here
These are great questions we are actually asking ourselves haha
@@themothfamily a lot you tude video you can watch n good video can breakdown 20 subtopic for you obversations
Some people eat breakfast at home like me, thus going to a stall to eat breakfast so early is not common. So owners may not be able to justify the cost if they open 8am and close at 9pm. If they open at 11am to prepare for lunch crowd and ends at 12am or 11.30pm, those who wants supper can buy them. Those working graveyard shift at the port or at the hospital can grab a bite too. I know many tourists especially in islands like tioman and langkawi do complaint they cannot eat in the morning as shops are not open. It depends on locations too if they want to open early. Malaysians may drive past a nasi lemak stall at the roadside to take away and eat at the office too.
Great tips!.
That's what we ended up doing is eating breakfast at home
@@themothfamily healthy and cheap. And I can make whatever amount of coffee I want
@@keangwooichoo6138 Haha
Serious lah no breakfast dkt kl? Mamak is not 24/7 meh?
everything starts from the important factors about educations and health care. later the outcome development and peaceful.
I totally agree!
Malaysian dont horn unless it is really necessary like emergency etc.Malaysian always welcome tourist regardless of which country you come from.Food is the best due to diversities in Malaysia.Malaysia is one the best healthcare in the best if not the best.That is why more.and.more expart living in Malaysia.Glad you enjoy yr stay and cheers.
Such great point
Nothing opens until 10 am? That's not quite true. Go to the local wet markets. There's always loads of food in and around those markets. And they're open as early as 6 am.
good point
Thank you for the most honest comments. Malaysia do have some shortcomings when it comes to disabled friendly (talking from experience having disabled relatives). In Kuala Lumpur, it paints a different picture (I think many have great comments on their very own Vlogs) but outside of the metro, it's a totally different story - or rather the painful truth.
We do have disabled parking - usually at important establishments like banks or department stores or government offices - unfortunately you may see that "non-disabled" drivers parking at "disabled parking space". (rarely the enforcement officers are nearby) True, that most pedestrian paths and roads are not disabled friendly - the only way is to drive or to ensure their seatings in public transport are secured. The typical excuses when asked why did they blatantly parked at the disabled parking space - "I'm on some urgent matters to settle", "I've put the hazard light on" and all other crappy things. (I've seen disabled drivers road-bullied as well - like impatient drivers honking them)
On the other hand, generally speaking, most Malaysians respects the disabled, for example, if you have to park near to shops or grocery stores (outside KL) or even by the roadside - where the zone was not meant for the disabled, the vehicles will stop or try to maneuver in the safest way possible in order not to disturb disabled alighting from the vehicle or public transport. They will even stop to let the disabled cross the road - even sometimes park by the roadside, stopping the traffic to help them. (I know as I have experienced the kindness (and some ugly parts) of Malaysian motorists too many times when ferrying disabled relatives or elderly)
Again, I think the authorities should seriously look into this matter and give more "rooms" for the disabled in future town plannings. And I sure hope that this video is an eye opener.
yeah I have made a few videos on this very topic. it's something to work on for sure
You are welcome anytime...........
Great Comment, Thanks for Watching!
Do come to Kelantan
We will look into it
Malaysia is suitable for families vacation😍🥰, unlike Thailand,Philippines and Indonesia which is these countries is more for someone who wanted to have fun and partying vacations.
That's a great point
I love how you guys described about our food 😊
oh you should see the video coming up!
We don't have a good habit of maintaining the walkways and streets properly. That's our downsides mainly! 😑
Very small downside to many, many pluses
Cities in Malaysia would be best if sidewalks were prioritized. Unfortunately the authorities often ignore it and instead build more roads which result in worse congestion and quite difficult to walk.
good poiny
Malaysia is the best and strategic country in the world
it really Is a great country
Thank you for the peaises bit we do need to improve more.
I think all countries have things they can improve on
@@themothfamily I conxur
Love your Vlog !❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your support
Please visit RAMADHAN BAZAAR during your stay in KL / Malaysia , get a new experience, plenty of foods
oooo will do!
Jaya Grocerrrrrrr......my favorite place.
we love Jaya grocer, reminds us of home
Hahaha.. yes agreed with you that not many pedestrians for disabled people.. because they too have their own transportations..( cars for disabled and they prefer to be independent..)
Great point!
Thats our problem in Australia.
We are too arrogant.
We get told we are the best liveable place in the world bla bla bla but apart from being the safest country in the world i am finding it hard to see where we excel.
Yer we earn so much money but our education and homes are so expensive that its no where near high pay in fact its more like super low pay.
Its also incredibly boring in Australia and thats putting it nicely
