Whenever Malaysian friend talks about the country like 90% of what she says is a complaint. My Zimbabwean friend however just sings it’s praises to the point I’m moving back this year. Think the only valid complaints are the heat and the traffic, otherwise there should be no reason to complain lol

I love Malaysia for all the reasons you mentioned, especially the cultural diversity, religious tolerance and hospitality of the people. It is a beautiful country with a vast amount of flora and fauna. It is modern and clean as much as it is true to tradition and cultural heritage. Food is amazing and affordable. For these reasons and more, I love Malaysia and think it is one of the best places to live and most welcoming 💕🙏.

    I'm quite a traveller too...for me Malaysia has a diverse option of food to choose whether locals or foreign food...i have traveled to many countries before like korea, thailand, new zealand and etc...i dont have any problem with their food as they have their own specialty, but its so hard to find foreign food and if theres one, the price is insanely crazy 😭😭...for example, when im in australia, i crave for Malaysian food but the price is insanely expensive and when im travelled to korea, its so so hard to find foreign food (the price 🤑🤑)...in Malaysia, you can easily find korean, japanese, arabian, indonesian, thailand, western, mexican and so many more and the price is not that expensive...

Since then, I have been to 83 countries and I find the hospitality is fantastic in most places....but in western Europe I don't feel the love (of course this is my ancestry - my ancestors came from Ireland, England, Scotland and Germany) so maybe people don't know I am a foreigner - but I am. I find the people of places disparaged in our western media ie Africa, South America, Central America, SE Asia, Middle East- are the absolute FRIENDLIEST. Damn, I hate our media sometimes.

    Your attitude itself make it easier for us to welcome you as our guest of our country. Generally, Malaysians are exceptionally hospitable people, especially to the foreigners. We love to share what we have and to ensure our guests are comfortable and safe here. I hope you will be continued staying here as long as you wish and keep enjoying our country to the fullest.

    Hi Ken! Love the contents of your vids. I’m a very proud Malaysian who, unfortunately, lives away from HOME! I can’t wait for the time to move back to Malaysia. After living abroad (Germany) for more than 10 years now, I am still missing Malaysia, hence, my yearly trip home is a must! It has made me realised how fortunate I am to be a Malaysian and to call Malaysia my home. Thank you for sharing your insights of Malaysia to the public at large. Many still are not aware of what and who Malaysia is!

      2/ petrol price is cheap, i dont hv to think twice about road trips.
      3/ 11 years of fundamental education, free of charge, for everyone.
      4/ i dont hv to worry about seasonal clothing cost. T-shirts, shorts/pants and slippers are good enough.
      5/ as long as one is willing to work, one wont go hungry, one will have a roof over one's head.
      6/ ..... and lots more..
      of course, there are plenty of flaws too, but it is ok.. i still love malaysia and proud to be a malaysian.
