Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 гру 2024
- I moved to Malaysia almost three years ago but this was the first Christmas I experienced in Kuala Lumpur! In this video I answer common questions about Christmas in Malaysia, and share my Christmas dinner experience at one of Kuala Lumpur's best boutique hotels, The Chow Kit.
I compare what's different about Christmas in Malaysia to Australia, what to do at Christmas in Kuala Lumpur, common misconceptions about Christmas in Malaysia, where to eat and the best ways to socialise if you're missing a taste of home as a traveller, digital nomad, retiree or expat in Malaysia.
Do they celebrate Christmas in Malaysia? Watch to find out in this Christmas vlog, and please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Nice Christmas in Kuala Lumpur ....❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮
Hope that you have had a great Christmas in KL yesterday. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year 2025.
I thought you were going to celebrate Christmas in Sydney with your family.
Hope that you enjoyed your Christmas dinner. Wow, I didn't know that it's that expensive nowadays, wonder how much it would cost in MOKL, St Regis, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton for a Christmas dinner set or buffet.
Glad to see you enjoyed keropok, fish crackers. You can buy raw keropok and fry it at home. Keropok ikan (fish crackers) comes from keropok leko (fish sausage), it's thinly sliced and sun dried to become raw keropok. Keropok leko is a very famous snack in the east coast of peninsular Malaysia but nowadays you can get it at almost any pasar malam, night markets around Malaysia. Good to see you back in KL, you look fresh coming back from Sydney.
You look handsome gorgeous Jack, enjoy your Christmas day in Malaysia 🤩
Season's greetings and happy new year Jack! 🎉🇲🇾🌺

KEROPOK !! 😂 Do more content in Bahasa Malaysia please ! HILARIOUS!
Where I come from, The Netherlands, we say ‘kroepoek’. It’s a Dutch word by now😊.
Malaysian love holidays
Speaking as someone who also lives here albeit not at long as you I have a slightly different perspective as I work in Retail not Corporate. For me Malaysia certainly go all out on decorations for Christmas, they really are amazing but it sucks the country never closes, and Christmas Day for Malaysians is let’s all go to the mall which is basically what they do every day so it’s not significant in that respect. Even the opening hours remain the same at 10-10 (TRX).
I did my best to stick to my own way of celebrating which was a Roast dinner I made at my apartment and a real Christmas Tree which was pretty easy to find. Although next year I might follow your lead and eat out.
Thanks for shaming me to go gym more often with your pool video 💪🏻
What a handsome man you are Jack. Wishing you a Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉😊. We love all your videos. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks. Love ❤from Malaysia!

We have a Christmas procession every year in Sarawak, the only state in Malaysia where it is allowed. It is banned in West Malaysia. Recently, a state-of-the-art Gothic church was opened in Kuching, again making Sarawak the only state in Malaysia permitted to build new non-Islamic religious buildings. Nowadays, any new religious settings in West Malaysia are only allowed in shop lots.

Do not spread lies!!!! In my hometown in rural Johor,,,specifically Tangkak we got multiple very huge new church!!! Not in the shop lots!!!!
in my rural hometown even got multiple new Buddhist and Hindu temples…very huge one…what are you talking about??? and suprisingly,,,in Tangkak…for such along time we havent build new mosque or surau…
@razif92 the temples were preexisting. To build new one difficult to approve.
@ in my place it NEW…NEW NEW NEW…
Christmas decorations are expensive. Those lights aren't cheap.
Mate, introduce the lady sit opposite you!
Sabah has maybe 35% plus christian...yes, swak is over 50% christian...
Majority Muslims are in West Malaysia only , our East side big no ! Actually canot said that the entire Malaysia's Muslims are the majority .
What do you mean a big no? That is not a nice thing to say. FYI 63.5% of malaysians are Muslims. I don't know what you learn in school but 63.5% is a majority.
@mikihana2057 Half of 65% Bumiputera that are from Sabah Sarawak , so West Malaysia Malays Muslim is majority ? U must be kidding me ! and yes the Islam is a official religion but based on our consistuitional law. Malaysia still a secular country ! U need to study well hello ! Not me !
@@christinachee7697east Malaysia has 5 million people. West Malaysia has 30 million people. There are 17 mil Malay Muslims in Malaysia. So yes you would think Muslim Malays are the majority.
@@KJ-yises non Muslims in Malaysia 23% Chinese , 7%Indian , 15% Sarawakian tribes and 3 % lainlain . Total almost 50% , so u think Malays muslim still the majority ?
@ yes Malay Muslims 18 milI of Malaysian population of 35 mil. So yes more than 50% therefore majority.
Illegal to be gay there
Whyy people like Malaysia soo much My God, please go to Singapore, Singapore is better.
