    As a Malaysian..i wanted to say that, if there's an unfriendly Malaysian or someone who's kinda awkward, they're probably just shy. For example, Malaysian like me. I have seen exchange students at my university, and i wanted to befriend them, but I'm just too shy 😭. I hope they don't think that I'm not friendly. Anyway, you guys and other foreigner are welcome to stay as long as you want !

    Very well presented! I'm glad you did so with your 100 tips.
    Just to share a couple of tips: 1) Another Supermarket (s) is B.I.G (Ben's Independent grocer) or Village Grocer - they carry a lot of imported stuff as well. With that being said, it all depends on where one is located.
    2) Generally bargaining isn't common, however do that while in Chinatown, KL.
    3) Online shopping : A different one locally is Zalora.

    #34 - Malaysia uses both type G and type C, as some appliances are imported directly from those meant for European markets. Adapters are required for wall sockets, but extension cords usually come with built in two pin support. My camera, TV, stereo system, Google Home Hub, Xiaomi smart devices purchased from the official Malaysian retailer all use two pin plugs. Many of the stuff in my parents’ kitchen too.
    #58 - Due to the demands of the local market, many local students attend international schools too. I myself attended one from Grade 6 to my last year of high school. However, BM, (Mandarin or Tamil) is widely taught and compulsory as well in some schools, so it’s an added benefit to know more languages.

    May I add some more?
    *Most Malaysians understand and/or speak English.
    *Malaysia has vast verities of food and share common verities of other countries too.
    *Do you know that? Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, and Europeans are commonly called "Mat Saleh" in Malaysia as what is called "Bule" in Indonesia?
    *In Malaysia, to be considered you're a polite person;
    1.Don't show somebody (elder) a direction using your forefinger. The most polite way is by using your thumb. Same, while you are doing presentations. But, it's okay by using an artificial pointer.
    2.When serving or passing something to someone (elder), don't handle it with your left hand. Handle it with your right hand.
    3. When speaking to someone whom you don't know, you can use the word, "Tuan" or "Encik" (for male) or "Puan" or "Cik" (for female). Don't ever use the word "Kamu" which means "you" in English. It's considered rude. "Kamu" should only be used to the younger person only.
    4. To say "Hello" is considered rude when presenting yourself. The best way is by using "Selamat pagi" (Good morning) or "Selamat petang" (Good evening) and followed by "Apa kabar?".
    5.Never fart, cough, blurp, whistle, or yawn in front of your guests.
    6.Don't litter, piss, making love, or acting wild in public.
    7.Give a little bow to your guests if you intend to leave your seat.
    8.Sounds of car horns are rare in Malaysia. The sweet things mostly happen is that people give "thank you" or "bye-bye" signals by punching "double horns" to other drivers or a "single horn" to say "sorry" or "okay" and if you see an oncoming car, double lifting headlights, it is the signal of telling "there is a police roadblock ahead", not kidding bro, hahahaha........

    I mentioned that we have palm oil plantations to supply cooking oil. Hahaha.
    Her face was ...priceless, when she arrived at our airport.

    101. Malaysia has 13 states. A Peninsular and 2 states from Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak). Please try to visit each state as the language/Malay slang/native used is different. And the food varieties also different according states.

    Your video is the best ❤ so many important and useful information, simple presentation with related visual signs and quite complete. Furthermore your voice is pleasant, we can see you at the beginning of the clip (Hello) I can tell that you are a kind and considerate person by the info you share. Also, I don’t have to keep fast forwarding because I want to see the sights of the place and not the face of the speakers . Thank you so much from California 🙏

    I guess being a reverse of you. A Malaysian living in the United States.
    Some of these tips may apply to the big cities more than the smaller ones. Especially public transport. Some of the more rural areas are more car dependent.
