As someone who's worked on both sides of the causeway. I think one part you guys missed out on that extends out from the slower pace of life in Malaysia is that it leads to more energy to have quality time with family, friends and me time. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone but probably a good majority.
This is one of the biggest drawbacks I took away from being in Sg for about a sum of 2 years between 2013-2018 is that I am exhausted on weekdays. Get off from nonstop work around 6-7pm and you can't switch off because you've got to deal with the crowded buses, trains, food courts (if you decided to eat dinner out or tapau). Get home about 8+ and just sink into the sofa for an hour and then prep for the next day.
Where as in KL, come end of the work day 530-6, driving home in traffic isn't as taxing as being packed in a train/bus for another hour. I'd still have energy to drive to the gym, grab a bite with friends or even go out again for some other activities. I should point out that public transport isn't an option for me in KL because the nearest bus stop is still a 30 min walk away from home and the nearest MRT is a 18 minute drive and that's after a 40 min train ride including switching between two lines if I were to use it.
There's definitely more career growth and global exposure in Sg but a better quality of life balance in KL IMO.
Yes, it's sad. 6-7pm is also considered early in Sg. Many people work much longer hours than that.
You buey gan say la.
@@KosongIce well the company downsized their sg office during the circuit breakers. I’ve only been back for a couple of weeks in oct 22 and Jan this year to teach the staff there.
Keep comforting yourself... Shiok sendiri is a fav past time huh.. Laughable
Any Malaysian who is NOT educated at the Uni level, have this nonchalant (bochap) attitude towards work even if you're of Chinese descent. Met enough to draw this conclusion. Not happy? F off please.
Ex-Malaysian grew up in PJ till Form (Sec) 1. Lived in SG for 42 years. Now a Sporean but still love going back to Msia to chill... Thinking of retiring there lol.
With 3.4 better wey hahaha We need yall 2 balance out the population with the young blood that left Malaysia 2 work like the cow in Singapore😄😄😆😆
Both countries have the pro & cons but no matter where you live. Just enjoy your time in each country. Feel the differences between the two countries but embrace the similarities of the two countries too.
Hello from Malaysia!!! Enjoy hearing your podcast and the different perspectives from the crew! Thanks for making the 30- 40mins drive to work entertaining!
Hello from JB! Already PR living in SG and FYI Asia Cafe is gone, replaced with residential apartment now...
Usually, the people who pump Ron95 is Malaysian with Singapore PR!
u forgot another tip when walking in malaysia walk the opposite side of where the car is coming so u can see the cars or vehicles coming

Based on the Cambridge dictionary, Dan’s pronunciation of ‘blood’ is the UK pronunciation. The pronunciation shared in the audio is the American pronunciation. As MY & SG were colonised by the Brits, Dan is not incorrect😬
Also, for fines accrued on the road, Malaysians have to settle their fines so as to enable them to pay their road tax and sell off their cars(when they choose to do so) 😊
Love your podcast 🫶🏻
yes I think that is true, I have noticed that most English educated Malaysians tend to speak a "cleaner" version of English(if I may say so) compared to Singaporeans where Singlish is mostly what we get on a day to day basis
i love this episode. I'm JB people but working with SG people. good i can understand better my colleague working culture.
As a singaporean i'm proud to to say that i have moved over to JB after my flat MOP-ED. Been staying in JB for 4 years and no regrets .
Good, stay there as long you are happy. I am Malaysian and moved over to Singapore to study for my diploma and degree and eventually complete NS to gain my easy citizenship. Now I own my HBD and a decent Honda vehicle. I love my life in Singapore.
@@hundredQuestionss I'm Singaporean, and I also want to go JB and live there haha, it seems like everyone has the grass is greener on the other side mentality.
Suits you.. i moved back to Singapore best decision ever
@@RelaxingMusic-wp8rm yes
very good ad form at the start!!
Non-Mandarin Chinese varieties or commonly known as dialects do have a writing system, whether it is Hokkien or Cantonese, and have their own pinyin system too, Pe̍h-ōe-jī for Hokkien and Jyutping for Cantonese (other romanisations exist but these are the popular ones). It is just that Singapore does not teach them in schools and we do not allow dialect programmes to be shown on Channel 8 except for government-sponsored programmes and opera shows every Friday morning. In Malaysia Astro and 8TV air many shows in dialects, and many still communicate in dialects daily, regardless of age.
Maybe can have an episode of Malaysians who live in Singapore. And Singaporeans who choose to move to Malaysia.
There are difference between Singapore and Malaysia!!!! My cousins had less pressure in studies as Malaysians compared to Singapore students due to the slower lifestyle there than Singapore's fast pace lifestyle
Singapore used to have vernacular education conducted in English ,Malay, Chinese and Tamil before the 80s. Those who went to Chinese or Malay or Tamil sch ,learned English as a second language, and those who went to English sch learned Chinese or Malay or Tamil as a second language depending on your ethnic group.
SG passport is No. 1 in the world. M'sia passport is No. 11. Malaysians can become Singapore citizens easier than any other country after staying in SG as a PR first. Just add value to SG through contribution to society. Look for the niche and serve with passion. In my encounters with M'sians, they are brightest people in the world. Good heart and very resourceful. Come and be part of SG.
The good heart part is true 😊
As a Malaysian, hearing "Orchard" words coming more times than I hear "I love you" from my partner, I gotta go there when I go SG 😂
Then U fark off back please.
SS15 Sbg jaya that's international school kan. It's a nice place to hangout, if I'm not wrong Asia cafe is a parking space now.
Imo, everything has a tradeoff honestly. There are many tempting reasons to go to SG but also many factors to consider. Still depends on what kind of lifestyle you prefer, for instance, fast paced or laidback; open-minded or reserved society and etc. But I still appreciate that both countries are also exposed to diversity and inclusivity, which is harder to find in other places in Asia, which is something we're proud of 💪🏾💪🏾
Malaysia Chinese kept going to Singapore because Singapore kept accepting them .....but several Singapore Malays choose Malaysia instead... very few though, most still love Singapore
The most significant difference between Singaporeans and Malaysians is the pronunciation of GENTING!
Singaporeans be like "Jenting"
Hi Denise, Hokkien can be written too. All dialectal pronunciations can correspond to traditional or simplified chinese characters based on their individual expressions and sentence synthesis, that may not be intelligible if we were to sound the words out in Mandarin. Interestingly southeast Asians call Hokkien "Hokkien" (福建话) , whereas the Taiwanese and mainlanders I've met call it 闽南话 (min3 nan4 / Southern Min), which is the umbrella term for the subdialects stemming from the Fujian province.
I wonder if Hokkien in southeast Asian Chinese diasporic terms could be considered (if it hasn't already been proposed) a separate 闽南 subdialect from the ones in Fujian.
Btw thank you TDK hosts and team for the wonderful and honest productions. I'm a sgrean millennial brought up by my grandma (b. 1912) who was proud of her "clean" Xiamen Hokkien. 👀 :p elements from this episode others where guests speak Hokkien always activate core memories ❤️ your podcasts help me stay updated with things at home with all the fun and the good questions! You guys are awesome 🫶 please keep inviting people from more industries to the show too :D
Wheeeew! Dan is a Subang boiiii! Sadly Asia cafe no more liao leh 😢 I actually wanted to study/work in SG, sadly the unis in SG didn’t accept my diploma credit transfer 🥺 GRVTY open to hire? So I can finally resume my WANTS to stay in SG 😂
👋🏻 just curios. by any chance u know how da samples and data are managed by these companies providing dna testing ?
or isit once you engaged their services, meant you have given your consent for them to utilise or sell da dna data ?
tks.
Laughing so hard at the Sherms playing "blood" and Denise commenting on it. Went back to replay it
HAHAHA omg I was trying my best

Genting is also pronounced differently. I think in Malaysia alot of words are pronounced the malay style, the deeper voice n singapore is english, just like Genting. Gen sound in Malay and English is different. For Mandarin, very common for Malaysians to say 一下，and alot of wrong tones in hanyupinyin...
Long time Malaysian subscriber here~~~
Sherms is so adorable!
I'm a singaporean and I LOVE walking orchard road too!!
bruh.. Asia Cafe is no longer there anymore
Lol. there are diff category of summons. Local council summons are "okay" to not pay, but police/federal you need to pay. Your road tax can not be renewed if you don't pay your summons. I would imagine the discounts given are more to save the administrative hassle of actually catching the folks on the road with an expired road tax, atleast with the discount they'll come pay a certain fee, and if they don't you can catch them later at a roadblock or some shit.
Spore is strategic as a location which raises its money value, while Msia has a vast land nearest to it which attracted more tourists everyday..
when i heard 9:14 i think my jaw dropped a bit lol, my mom is from penang and we go there every year and normal char kway teow cost RM6-7+ and not RM15💀
Nice video.
How do we take the test?
Singapore is definitely a haven for high-paying jobs. It is also recognized as the most efficient and productive country globally. However, this comes at a price-you need to work hard to achieve your goals. Due to the majority of the society being hardworking and goal-oriented, it creates a highly competitive workplace environment, which can be quite stressful. I prefer to work in Malaysia, people in general seem don't give a shit on productivity.
At 41:00 Denise mentions that dialects are not written languages. Dialects do have their written form though, it's just that the standardization and usage of 普通話 (Common dialect) has made it easy to communicate across the vastly different cultures among the various Chinese provinces. This led to a drastic decrease in the use of dialects. The reason why Qin Shi Huang standardized the Chinese script was to overcome the cultural barriers between provinces. Just imagine an era where everyone in China speaks a different dialect, but the unifying mode of communication was the standardized Chinese words.
Damn SS15 is my goto spot while in KL. Alot of cool stuff and food there Dan!
Still ah? Is it still as happening as before?
Correction- chinese dialect have a proper written form. It is just not taught in Malaysia or Singapore. Cantonese ( taught in HK schools ) and MingNan or Hokkien (taught in Taiwan) with proper written characters.
Agree. It is called dialects when they started to standardise mandarin as the national lingua franca.
Else, in the old days everyone has the same written chinese with different "dialects".
@@supreme87878 You are wrong. Mandarin has been used as a lingua franca for hundreds of years. Written chinese is based on mandarin which has been used from 14th century to 20th century. Vernacular chinese was later invented later for other chinese languages.(e.g. ROC created written form for hokkien/ Min nan language in 1970s)
@@WTiDeadlyfury Mandarin is a beijing dialect
Coming from SG, I am very suprised seeing the style of driving in Serbia N Bosnia. The cars are driving on pavements to avoid traffic jam. In India, everyone knows their rights even the traffic light is broken😊.
Malaysian here!! SS15 used to be the place I go to every other day for boba hahaha
McD, Starbucks, Asia Cafe, bubble tea, Hong Kong cafe... good times la SS15
In Singapore, we dont need to award scholarship based on some racial quota. Yes we are better
Only true beneficiers are elligible. Of course, everyone wants a pc of the cake and make claims, as long as to their advantage. They would start banging here and there as if is their birth right. Scholarships are not birthright privilleges here. They owe their existence to the country. May be they should ask their ancestors why they took them here. A place so inadequate for the continued wellbeing of their descendants.
Ayy!!! Julian fellow Penang lang
Edit: wait a minute, Julian Chin from St Xavier Instituition! My classmate!
nice kicks denise and dan
In MY, our local traffic enforcers are just coffee junkies la. Which explains the continuous desire for coffee money.
41:18 Cantonese can be and is written as traditional chinese characters whereas in sg we usually write simplified chinese characters
The right question is Malay vs Non Malay mindset. Generally Non Malay lifestyle and mindset at major cities in Malaysia is similar to Singapore (and some Malays) Even what is considered different is not so big difference but nuance. Take note that states within M'sia have our nuances as well.
Nice to have a funny and light hearted episode once again. Thank you for making me laugh and smile.
May I ask who came out with "Dontch know" for "Don't know"?
I am mixed Indonesia, China and Singapore.
Hahahahah yes guys, I know Asia Cafe closed ady, was referring to it growing up in SS15 many many moons ago!! Old ady
Regarding the summons .. it's because of the difficulties to pay the fines
Zebra crossings in MY don't work the same!
Ya’ll should be known as Dopely Ketchup la. 🔥 hello from 🇲🇾
Totally did not expect to see someone from my La Salle Convention years ago to appear in my favourite overseas podcast
totally agree w julian on the police force system in malaysia
Sherma so cute!!!
thank you!!

Chinese dialects are not actually dialects but languages in their own right. Cantonese has their own tones that Mandarin speakers cannot comprehend. The same goes for archaic languages like Teochew and Hokkien.
Nah. Teo chew is a variant of Min Nan. Hokkien( Min nan) is a prestige dialect of Min Language. Cantonese is a prestige dialect of Yue language.
Thanks for teaching me how to use "wei". I have many Malaysian colleagues and they always shit on me using "sia" so now i switch to "wei" when i speak to them
With Bumiputera policies, this is not even a question
u cant do anything about that. its protected by agong. the highest power in malaysia
Singapore and Malaysia are the only multi racial country in asia. Most asian country are just homogeneous
Chinese privilege in Singapore not even a question.
@@johndoe09because it doesnt exist.
Bumiputera privillege is a non negotiable stuffs..it is in the constitution and in no way it can be altered by anyone..not even the Prime Minister himself
Loving your content so far. But it might be interesting to hear it from Malaysian who chose to reside in Malaysia like Mr Money TV ;)
after watching this video… as a Malaysian I was like why Orchard for me is so normal 🌚
6:50 8:35 21:00 22:30 24:35 25:45 27:10 30:45 35:30 42:40 45:00
So no need go europe just come to SG orchard rd, all the brands are there.
we only go msia for food , genting, and hotels stay.
SG has clean hawker centers but limited tasty food. MY hawker centers not as clean but more options of tasty food
With the amount of salt & msg they put, even a shoe sole will be tasty
At the price of 1/3.4 some more hahahaha
Wei is used in malay as well
I'm a Malay Malaysian and I use "wei" as "weyh" as "hey". Like, "weyh, jom makan". Is it just a Malay thing or a Malaysian thing?
Remember that Singaporeans are the best Walkers in the world!!!!! We can walk for hours!!!!!!!!
Can U guys do Ancestry DNA.
Did a google translate search on blood and seems like Dan's version does not sound right. Hmmm....
Better or not is relative 😅
Malaysia and indonesia quite similar in many things. Bribing police is common and expected in Indonesia. Singapore different because the law are enforced and police are paid properly.
Not happening after Indonesia decapitalize Jakarta and capitalize Kalimantan as new capital hahahaha
What fast track that he mentioned. 15 yo feels too early? And it's through JPA????
45:04 sporean but i also love orchard. orchard supremacy
note that malaysians moved to sgpore is mostly chnese. they dont represent others malaysians
High cholesterol can lead to a stroke. My dad got hit!
for malaysian this is how singaporean really look at us...padahal malaysia banyak gila layer, strata of culture. like this is very surface. i really hope one day the singaporean in this podcast can really feel how to be 'real' malaysian. but good job guys touching the surface 👍
the use of the simply vs anyhow. A very obvious difference between Malaysian and Singaporean
This is mind-blowing and absolutely true
do you hear sgpreans comparing themselves with malaysians?
Algoooooooooooooooooo
I think Singapore is a great place to live in for Singapoeans. For foreigners, it will be tough to survive the high costs without government help.
Singapore mrt very fast and efficient compared to the KL mrt and lrt, slow and always breakdown
How many Singaporeans migrate to Malaysia?
Smile 😜😁🤪😁
33:16 someone make this a gif
Peep Daniels kicks 🕷️
Love both countries
I THOUGHT MOST OLD SINGAPORE AUNTIE AND UNCLE.. SETTLE DOWN IN JOHOR AFTER RETIRED... JOHOR ARE ALWAYS WELCOMING YOU GUYS... RUMAH MURAH, NAK SHOPPING MURAH...ISI MINYAK MURAH... MAKAN MINUM PUN MURAH LA..
Based on social media, I feel like more and more Malaysians (that do not work in Singapore, have family in Singapore or probably even been to Singapore for an extended period of time) have a lot vitriol in their comments against Singapore.
Envy & Jealousy, what's new 😂
So many CCTV around, so kena fine lah.
after being in SG for 37 tears and bring PR for 26 years, i finally decided to give up MY citizenship.
why? while 3.45 is tempting, i cannot make peace with Ketuanan Melayu.
And since i am quite sure now, i can afford to retire in SG, i no longer want to tolerate the rubbish of being 3rd class citizen (even behind illegal indon migrants) in a country that i cannot make peace with.
why is this even a question? srsly
rabak lah, Dan.....i'm m'ysian and i can really walk...marina sq to orchard no biggie....😂
Rabak, I think it's a me problem, not a Malaysian problem HAHA
Bro Lau Fu Zhi CKT is $11
One word I found that is spoken differently in SG and MY is the word "how long" in mandarin.
In SG, you use "多久“ . While in MY, we use "几久” (or is it a JB thing?0
I always get a lot of question marks from the Uncle/ Aunties in hawker stalls.
Me: Auntie, 鸡饭 要等几久啊？
Auntie: ?
Me: 要等几久？
Auntie: ?
Me：要等"多久"~
Auntie: oooooooooooooooo
Me:🙂
其实用"多久"与"几久"这两个词汇是有差别的。
"多久"是嫌弃需要等，或已经等了很久，才会用"多久"这个词汇。
而"几久"是意指对方是需要用上多少的时间，如是五分钟?十分钟?十五分钟？二十分钟etc，食客只想要有个心理准备或衡量一下认为要不要等。
39:00 😀
what did sherms say at 51:07, that you're the most ...?? what????
Interesting n informative. PM Anwar promised to change all those bad things.
And i say he already settle 50% with another 50% to go haha
Asia Cafe closed down dy broo🥲
Let's be real. It is all about the forex conversion. 😅 if you reverse the conversion the other way, singaporean will also happily move to JB or KL. 😅
