After being in Malaysia for 2 years. Going back to Japan was a bit of the culture shock too🇯🇵 I’m bring part of Malaysia back with me~🇲🇾 How was the video?🐨
Top sign on if you become a Malaysian already? When you start to add the "lah" on your English, Malay or even your Japanese sentences when you speak. A REAL Malaysian NEVER forget the "lah".
right hand is using for all good and positive thing. prophet thought Muslim that always used right (hand/leg) even sleep on right side. but when u enter toilet ( "dirty place") use left leg first to enter, right leg to out toilet.
I am malay and Muslim. Using the right hand mostly related to manners [adab] with other people. Not a strict rule but it is an act to be as polite as possible. Especially when you bump into the elderly. Using left hand is ok if you're left handed or your right hand is full. We understand. So don't worry too much bout it. We won't look at you like you've done a horrible sin. XD
Sometimes when people's right hand is occupied, they will use their left hand but apologize in advance for using it. They'll say something along the lines of "Maaf guna tangan kiri, tangan kanan penuh". Using the right hand just comes naturally to me and I never really noticed I was doing it until you mentioned it lol. ^_^
You're right about right hand to pay for stuffs. In fact, in emergency case we would just say "sorry, tangan kiri" which literally meant "sorry, left hand"...meaning we're sorry because we had to use our left hand to pay
As a non-Muslim Malaysian and a left-hander, I do everything mostly with my dominant hand, otherwise I will use both hand almost equally. So do not feel uneasy if you are using left hand and don't worry, nobody going to judge you for using left hand. Just chill lahhhhh
It's not that the left hand is dirty, it's that left hand is used for dirty tasks, like washing our asses... hahahah... right hand is for clean tasks like eating. therefore it's respectful to deal with other people i.e. paying money, receiving things using the right hand.
Hahahaha semua yang anda cerita itu betul. Saya pernah ke Tokyo. Tangan kanan itu bukan taboo tapi lebih beradab. Tangan anda tidak ada kuasa menahan kereta di Indonesia. Hanya di Malaysia sahaja tangan berkuasa menahan kereta dan kereta akan berhenti hehehe. Ya di Tokyo sangat sepi sekalipun sibuk dengan jutaan manusia. Yang dengar hanya macam bunyi lebah. Apapun Malaysia belum capai taraf negara maju seperti Jepun tetapi Malaysia sangat berwarna warni.
I agree with you on the malaysia being loud. Even in the LRT some can talk sooo loud that they forget that they are not the only people in the train. Its so annoying.
5:20 As a Malaysian I feel like I can say for certain that if it werent mandatory, we wouldnt abide by the guidance. I'm not speaking for everybody because I know some people will wear face mask irregardless of the rules but we are a lazy bunch. Maybe lazy isnt the right word. We are not highly motivated to do something unless 1) theres profit in it 2) emergency situation/deadline 3) theres fine/penalty involved. But we arent like those in first world countries/region like US or UK who throw hissy fit/riot because of the mask mandate (to be fair there are still some voices of discontent but very minor). We know it is for our own good so even if it causes minor inconvenience, we'd abide by it and we did. I still wear face mask to this day and I have never worn face mask prior to the pandemic (not even during influenza / bird flu / other outbreak prior to covid19). Japanese society and Malaysian society are way different as you already know. This is a hot topic. To delve further will just cause unnecessary issues so I'll just say that Japan doesnt require a mask mandate but Malaysia does (or did since its over on May 1st) and thats OK. We whine and we grumble but in the end we put our trust in our government or more specifically our ministry of health (MOH). Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
here tutorial for using the power of hands 1. make the most selamba faces. 2. dont ever look at the driver. 3. put you power of hands for use . 4. only look at the driver or rider after you cross and smile + bow as thanks. follow these tutorial to keep living while crossing the road using power of hands and remember with a power comes a great responsibility.
been waiting for your new uploads mina chan! this one is good as its not addressing the common topics a lot of foreigners speak of. so thanks for that. in regards to left and right hand when giving or receiving things, left hand are used for toilet businesses, therefore right hand is the way to go when engaging with another person. what about for next videos, talk to us, how do you find malaysia now, after 3 yrs of living here vs when you first arrived. i mean, your perception of malaysia as a country and the people? that would be nice to know
Sometimes we do have difficulties or circumstances where our right hand is not easily accessible at the time and have to use our left hand to pay or give or receive something but unconsciously we felt guilty and say "maaf, tangan kiri".
hi mina chan, so glad you can go back to your homeland, i enjoy your videos so much about our country and culture, hopefully in the future you will have chances to come back here and enjoy again fun moments in malaysia, see you soon😄
We use water to wash after popooo..and use left hand for that washing activity..so it is a little bit wierd and feel unrespect giving people left hand shake or eat using that hand..normally malaysian people shake hand using right hand or both hand..
Every country have its differences regardless good or bad. The big question is if you can manage to adapt to the current location. The faster you adapt, the more comfortable you will be regardless of where you are at that time.

I have a rather interesting story regarding the traffic light. When I was living in Tokyo, I am always conscious to properly follow the lights. But then around my house, there's a few lights people just don't follow which makes feel the odd one out so a lot of the time, I would just follow them and cross anyway on red. So in a way, its the Japanese that taught me don't bother with the light 🤣.
Interesting and funny observation😂, yes we cross the road ignoring the traffic light just because the traffic is terrible, but when im not in a hurry and feeling lazy to run, i just wait patiently😂
Its a good habit to wait for the traffic light, eventhough there's no cars around. We never know when there's a Truck-kun trying to "isekai" you to the next world 😂 P/s: it is a good habit
actually we reserved left hand for handle unclean task such as cleaning in toilet, doing laundry, carry something dirty. so that our right hand priority for eating, giving to others such as presnt, money, shake hand etc. so.. left hand is not unclean it just for doing dirty stuff.
I am chinese and non muslim, and most of my friends are also chinese and non muslim. I can tell you that we don't really care about the left hand thing, most of us don't even know about it so you can rest easy. So the people who actually care about that will mostly forgive you if you just use the Malaysian version of the Gaijin card.
Haha I kinda feel jealous with the part where Japan much more quiet than Malaysia. because yes it is too loud and noisy here. too much stuff going on. thats why I prefer living in the countryside. and then about the elderly people, I do find it's amazing how Japan got lots of elderly and so many of them still work despite being like 80yo? Because here people at that age are either dead or barely can move 😅 Well I guess it got something to do with life expectancy differences with Japanese having around 85years meanwhile Malaysian only around 76years
they have more old peoples because like you said their life expectancy and one more is the trend now they have fewer children or no children.. Actually it become an issue now in Japan..
I am a leftie, seldom use the right hand unless holding a mouse :) I actually don't find any issue using left hand. I even hold chopsticks, spoons, pens and giving/receiving items with my left hand. Maybe it's just me :D
Japan is really quiet. First time I went there I had the same experience you did, like something's off with my hearing. But 2 weeks in Japan was enough to shock me when I came back to Malaysia. Everywhere's so loud and I had to get used to speaking louder too; people kept saying they can't hear what I was saying.
No need to worry about using left hand. It's just part of our manners to not use left hand in certain things. Besides that, it's all good such as holding phone with left hand lol
I agree.malaysia is a quite noisy country.the people still don't understand the importance of quietness and calmness in life.they also talk loud.I also don't understand why
About the left hand, yeah it is related to Islam and embedded as part of Malay culture. Not that the left hand is unclean per se, just that in the religion, the left hand is meant to handle dirtier activities like washing your butt. So, interacting with people like handing things, shaking hands, waving hi and goodbye for example is done with the right hand instead of the left hand.
honestly, do not worry about the hand gesture, it's just a belief... nothing wrong if you use your left hand (or accidentally use it yourself), no one's gonna make a big fuss out of it except for internet warriors...
using right hand only is quite not true. it is consider impolite to use left hand when: 1. shaking hand. 2. giving things to others this includes money, present etc 3. eating using left hand. other than that, you can use your left hand with no problem at all. that's a little misconception actually. :)
Right hand just of respect. That why every word of positive we use it as a: That guy was a right man This for a right job Your right Some negative using left even word representative as negative Left group Im left now He already gone (left) When someone give you a gift and you take with your left hand... people may interpret that you are not sincere or happy to received that gift.
thank you. arigato gozaimas. i learned a new japanese word from this. pokkai = fall down. in malaysian pokkai = out of money (which can also mean fall down.... cash wise 😁)
4:53 “I have fall on one of them before” did you fall at the drainage sidewalk and your leg stuck there when you fall? did it hurt you so much? like have a permanent scar or makes you go to hospital after that? 😱😥
normally Malays use left hand to clean personal part during in toilet. but of coz everyone clean it properly, but still not nice to use same hand to eat or pass something to others...
Using left hand actually it's not really a taboo, its just about manner.. Islam teach us to using right hand for any good things - eating, drinking, giving, receiving, dealing with others.. (this has been teached since the 1st man on earth, Adam.. and all the prophets teach their followers the same, use Right hand to eat, drink, etc.. because satan use left hand to eat, etc.).. while using left hand only for 'secondary things' - mostly related to 'unclean things', such as handling trash, washing dirty things, etc.. so, it's a Good Manner to use Right Hand instead of left hand for any good things.. left hand can be use as backup / secondary purpose.. when we dealing with people using left hand, it's like we give them 'unclean things' or 'negetive aura' to them, this is bad.. i believe, all religions in the world teach their followers to use right hand for any good things.. but, only Islam that make it obvious in the teaching and following 👌🏻

thank you for clear explanation🤓👍🏻
Yeah, wash ass using water and soap with the left hand. Right hand to eat.
Ass itu keldai bhai. Sepatutnya buttocks ( punggung ).
There are so many Japanese in Malaysia. You should have build a Japan street in Malaysia. It would be an attraction
Hahahaha semua yang anda cerita itu betul. Saya pernah ke Tokyo. Tangan kanan itu bukan taboo tapi lebih beradab.
Tangan anda tidak ada kuasa menahan kereta di Indonesia. Hanya di Malaysia sahaja tangan berkuasa menahan kereta dan kereta akan berhenti hehehe.

I agree with you on the malaysia being loud. Even in the LRT some can talk sooo loud that they forget that they are not the only people in the train. Its so annoying.
you got it wrong, right and left hands are just equal. however using using right hand to give things to others is considered more cultured and proper.

You know so much about Malaysia. Im am lowkey proud 😂
Welcome to Malaysia mina san. Thank you for your video 💓🥰😍😍😍
It's not quite right to say in Islam the left hand is considered unclean. It's more of an etiquette to favour the right hand instead of the left hand.
Kombawa mina, you are still so pretty as usual. Love your video and really enjoy it.💜❤💖
hi mina chan, so glad you can go back to your homeland, i enjoy your videos so much about our country and culture, hopefully in the future you will have chances to come back here and enjoy again fun moments in malaysia, see you soon😄
