Malaysia's establish policy known as Look East has established a strong relationship with the East Asian nation. What do you of the two's relations? Let us know down below!
What is your research based on? Good try, but you missed the mark because the focus on Japan is an actual government directive/promotion. This national sentiment comes from the "Look East" policy instituted by Dr Mahathir -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_East_policy_(Malaysia). By the way Southeast Asian history is richer, and a lot earlier than the Malacca sultanate. But, again, good try.
Just so long as they dont back stabb like a certain Indo-china... Where the country blatantly gave the schematic of the Japanese rail plan to China and China presented it a cheaper plan. Loyalty is what counts, no one wants to befriend a two face backstabbing scoundrals.
This type of policy created by mahathir because he getting sick of the west who always do dumb thing and claim they are the better one , and he love Japanese work culture, technology and the way they managed their country, japan also known as country that rise from the ash after the war . See how fast they grow from 1950 until today the whole world still can't catch up with Japanese tech and also quality,most of Japanese product you can abuse them but they still work for the life time.

@@mythminded If I’m not mistaken, that is by ethnicity. They ran away during the emperor ruling in the 19s century. They’re no longer a Japan nationality.
As Malaysian, Japan is one of must go destination checklist in my life time. Many Japanese cultures and attitudes resonates with local Malaysia cultures.
some say that Malaysians are very accepting of Japan after what the Japanese army has done in Malaysia (Malaysia, Borneo)..btw Malaya has been colonized for over 400 years by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese and until now we still will not forget the fall of the Malacca Sultanate against the Portuguese and some of the fall of the Malay Sultanate Empire caused by the Colonizers and any of their atrocities..but in this day and age, we choose to accept all of you former colonial countries in our country, as long as you no longer interfere with the sovereignty of our country. as the saying goes "The Trap Will Not Forget the Moth". Why did Malaysia make a Buy Last British campaign? This is because of the arrogance of the British in Malaysia's request to return the estate lands in Malaysia that are still owned by the colonial country despite Independence, and as a result in the year 1981, Malaysia has started an attack to take over the shares of the British plantation company Guthre that owns the land in Malaysia on the London Stock Exchange during the time of PM Margaret Tucher and finally all the farms returned to the Malaysian company which is now known as Sime Darby..(The Down Rid)
That is the reason i love Malay peoples. They not throw all the blame at colonizer for colonize their country, instead they blaming themself and accept the mistakes their people did in the past like betrayal, not standing together etc. The past will stay in the past, the future is what upon us forever.

Although Malaysia have learn much from Japan, our nation are still under develop in many ways, especially nowadays due to some worldwide crisis. Meanwhile, some of the parties in Malaysia still focusing on power struggle and religion issues only.
Agreed, especially on the political issues and religion. Religion and politics should never mingle. That's why we're still a developing country. Looking at Singapore which was part of Malaysia, if they can do it, why Malaysia with such blessed land and resources still struggle? And it's difficult for many to acknowledge it, since it means that they have to see their religion in bad light. But it's not just Malaysia, even for first world country, USA, see how backwards they've become, due to mingling politics with religion. They all care more about their religions than the ppl.

China. This is how soft power works. You help the people of the country you invest in. Not how you China is doing now. You invest but you bring almost all the workforce from China. Then you annex the South China Sea as your own. You are not a superpower wannabe but a realised superbully.

That is why China is not that stupid to leave it up workforce of someone that does not have a good track record. The nine-dash lines was published in 1948 by the Chinese government with no raising disputes. The disputes only happen when countries around saw promising prospect for oil and gas resources in the 1970s, and they began to occupy the resources, beginning the disputes. Other than that, it's a much more complicated issue that needs more understanding and bilateral negotiations, than just blantantly denoting the issue as China wanting to annex South China Sea as its own. Plus you wanna talk about bully, why didn't you mention USA.
Probably even material as well, give loan to build stuff, then bring own workforce, use own material, not even the tech is transferred. Then say help underdeveloped country build and invest in infrastructure.
Thank you for sharing. But since they are in diplomatic business relationships... it is very safe to say only they know of their collaborative future prospects!!
Also, Malaysia loves anime. As for Japan, Malaysian warm climate and more laid-back work attitude has been attracting many Japanese ppl. And in Malaysia, there are Bon Odoris annually to celebrate relations, politically and culturally. I was surprised that not every country had sth similar. And, in my experience, the ones who rmbr the Japanese invasion history in Malaysia are upset yes but they are more angered about Western ppl's colonial influences, which still has its effects today
Fun fact: Toyota is the most popular brand in every SEA country, except Malaysia(Perodua). But one of Perodua big boss is Daihatsu, which is under Toyota. So Perodua car is technically a Toyota.
@@brianliew4546 Logic problem here, if you own bugatti, then your bugatti is technically a volkswagen, but not the other way round. Top boss is Volkswagen AG.
That is the reason i love Malay peoples. They not throw all the blame at colonizer for colonize their country, instead they blaming themself and accept the mistakes their people did in the past like betrayal, not standing together etc. The past will stay in the past, the future is what upon us forever.

The main thing is the japanese demeanor is what we Malaysian and Indonesians can relate to. Our 'adab dan sopan' is similar to the polite and respectful japanese culture. The only difference is that the japanese educational system manage to integrate it successfully in their society whereas we still struggle to implement it nationwide. Not to mention the loitering culture which still needs fixing, hopefully the masses would learn to appreciate local culture instead of blindly following foreign one Remember what they did in ww2. Lest we forget
Let us remember that they who did what they do in WW2 has nothing to do with ALL Japanese especially for those born after the war. It is no longer appropriate therefore to use such a phrase because it is both illogical and immature.
We aren't anything like the US - Russia cold war bromance relationship. We moved on and accepted with wholeheartedly towards others who's also wanted to move on.it's that simple
I came from Penang, there's a lot of stories about Japanese told by the elders, including our school field is where rebels are being decapitated, and lots of similar stories. Now to think of it, non of the elders told the stories with negative emotions. However, since the occupation is short, we do not have much Japanese influences like Taiwan has. It's a topic that happens around me but I never think too hard about it.
It is also noted that japan agreed a 'samurai bond' to loan malaysia some money to combat debt in 2018-2019 to which hasn't seen much improvement because the pandemic hits the world not long after. But it is quite clear our country had such strong economic relations with japan that they're willing to help malaysia
Idk about that, I'm Malaysian but I faced more racism here than when I went to study abroad in Australia. The "harmony" felt forced, you'll always hear ppl said "careful of Indians, malays are lazy, and Chinese only wants money"
my grandparents survived japanese invasion, although had some of their friends killed and was targeted personally by a group of japanese soldier because of my granparent's bloodline and my granpa's military title, they still manage to forgive them, they said "Its useless being mad at one Race just because they did something horrible in the past"
Hppe Japanese and Malaysian continues to continue this strong tie, it'll be good for both countries IMO and Japan is easily one of my favourite country to visit and as a country itself, the culture is beautiful the technology is advanced etc
Who would have thought the country that once massacre my Family is now loved by my grandchildren. But then again times change. I hope this relationship can be strengthened more.
@@Bob-em6kn I feel like Malaysia should provide many facilities for Japanese people to live in Malaysia forever 🤤 because they are Japanese people, they will not necessarily become another race and they will stay forever even if they are mixed with other people's DNA, so if I am rich I want to build a settlement for Japanese people in malaysia where more than 2 million Japanese people will live in malaysia will build any house according to their culture according to their taste 🙂🤣 at the same time Japan City exists
@@Bob-em6kn not only are there Chinese people but there are also Japanese people, they are like Malays and Indonesians but they are not the same but different languages, I have heard that Chinese people can easily understand Japanese because of the kanji
I love Japan. All because I grew up watching anime. It was influential to me growing up, shaping what I like. My mum was neutral about Japan but my dad who's a bit older, he lived through the atrocities that the Japanese done in Malaya when he was child. He didn't really liked Japan and didn't understand why I liked Japan so much. I guess the opinions on Japan differ in different generations
@@adamharith6209 it's important to note that Imperial Japan is not the Japan of today. You don't just put an ancestors' sin onto their grand children simply because the latter wasn't even alive back when their grand dads are occupying foreign lands. never forget, but forgive.
Perhaps you have to visit, study and work or at least live in Japan for at least a year to really know whatever they portrayed in the anime are just, animation.. or perhaps their wild imagination of what they want in the society 😅😂
@@Eskayzeee I actually got into a cultural exchange program when I was 17. I stayed with my host family in Japan for a year and it was the best thing I ever decided to go for.
The first and only country that helps frees up, motivate, liberate than modernizes other Asian Countries is Japan. The success of Asia is the colossal effect of Japanese culture and knowledge. May god protect and bless Japan.

What I heard from many Japanese in Malaysia why they choose Malaysia as 2nd home because of Malaysia free of natural disaster i.e earth quake and tsunami etc.
the main fact... from the former 4t & 7th prime minister, Dr Mahathir very keen tie with Japan.. Until today.. event one of his son studying there in Japan & fluently talk Japanese languages
every Malaysian student during mahathir time as the Prime minister for 22 years from 1981-2003 grow up with a lot of affection or admiration for japan in their tech in their pop culture their language..his policy not just influence the gov administration and bureaucratic policy but also on other aspect of normal malaysian daily life..i remember we use to have a lot of tv drama from japan in our malaysian tv both in gov own tv and private tv station..there even a japanese language segment on radio...thats how most malaysian kid in the 80 and 90 grow up to love japan through this soft power or cultural exposure..we love japan so much and anything japanese from car engine to manga/anime to sushi to JAV etc.
I am very grateful that my dream country chose my country because Malaysia has received many great services from Japan since the second world war, Japan has helped Malaysia develop important national industries such as vehicles and others before the appearance of Chinese goods, it is Japan that has contributed a lot and also Europe, so japan should strengthen its importance in malaysia, malaysia has given the green light to increase the ability of japanese culture in malaysia, japanese culture is very good how can malaysia reject it after all now there are many malaysian and japanese together and married, at the same time developing japanese malay ancestry
and I can say that Japan is the best trading partner that Malaysia has ever had, look at the quality of their goods, they are durable, the prices are affordable and it fits the character of a developing country even though it is not very rich, this Japan has an Asian soul, it contributes almost 60-70% world goods, we are lucky to have Japan in Asia, many Malaysians are amazed by the spirit of Japan, they use a lot of Japanese goods, so it gives encouragement that this relationship is great
Well, the Japanese occupation mainly targeted chinese. Malays were mainly let off. Hence there is not as much blood n hate with majority of the population. This is just a fact. Just like Thailand is 2nd on the list, bcuz they surrendered in Japanese invasion. This is also a fact.
I'm disappointed that u did not mentioned about how the peak of Japanese culture, manga & anime, contributed to the extremely positive views of Malaysians towards Japan
Mahathir was the person who started the "Dasar Pandang Ke Timur" movement. Which basically means he was proud of asian countries that were advanced economically and technologically
When it comes to Japan, Malaysian are very forgiving. My grandmother, who was a teen when Japan “visited” during the 40s, refused to her dying day to use ANY Japanese products.
My late grandfather, when he was a child, had his father killed by the Japanese emperialist. Though every time my grandfather ever mentions Japan, he'd always talks about them as a matter of fact, without any malice. Which surprises me despite what the Japanese did to his father. Though my grandfather was never the vengeful(pendam) type. And to this day, imagine his first grandson, me liking the Japanese culture. Haha
Its the later generations who didn't went thru the war that probably more forgiving given the fact that they only learn history of the occupation but not the torturing n hardships. Probably thats why that generation is called silent generation.
These generation at their final phase. The min age currently around 70's. Moving onwards, we don't have any grudge to hold. Only a story will be pass on as reminder of their hardship to achieve what we have today.
The then prime minister had a buy british last approach and was very outspoken of the american involvement in the Israeli occupied palestine. He found an economic icon that he could lean on to still be progressive and manage to spite the western world once in a while. A byproduct of being right i would say.
I hope Malaysia and Japan are both culturally empowered and equally help in strengthening this good relationship, when I see TH-cam there are still many Japanese people who do not know about Malaysia, Japan should include teaching Japanese children about Malaysia in Japanese schools so that they see Malaysia as a great country even though it is small and separated in two but has cultural and religious diversity, making Malaysia interesting, and among the countries with the largest Malay population in the world, Malaysia has also received many cultures, so it is not wrong if you help Malaysia to strengthen the mastery of the Malay language widely in Japanese schools, whether it is compulsory or not, it is definitely highly encouraged because we also work hard to learn Japanese even though it is difficult
Knowing we have such good relationship with Japan warms my heart, considering all of the conflicts we've had when they colonized Malaysia. Let the past be the past! (^_________^)
What happened in the past was way beyond horrible, but we can't simply see the sons as criminals if the crime was commited by the fathers. We need to forgive for our own good; time & people have changed
malaysians who grew up in the 80s with anime and video games have a favorably view of japan. this is japan's soft power at best. current generation are exposed to k-wave from korea.
former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad really is the founding father of Malaysia - Japan relationships.. his Look East Policy back in those days are the key platform on what Malaysia has become today.. Proton does uses Mitsubishi tech back then and become Malaysia's national car brand but nowadays Perodua takes on the title as Perodua still uses Japan's Toyota / Daihatsu tech.. Proton on the other hand changes to China Geely tech and that makes them now below Perodua as Malaysian favorite car brand.. In the upcoming near future i can tell that Japan will always be our most ideal partner.. it's true that Japan once invade our country, making our ancestors lives miserable back in WW2 but we Malaysians have this thing called forgiveness as taught by Islam teachings and beliefs.. the way i see it, Japan is making up for their mistakes in the past by helping Malaysia develop alongside them towards a better future together like good friends or brothers do..
Would like to chip in a bit here. When Japanese investors come to Malaysia, they will bring along their own contractors, supply chain, financier and business partners (keiretsu model). Therefore, these Japanese investments doesn't really benefit local communities much since most of the money flows within the keiretsu structure. The Chinese investors are also replicating the same model in Malaysia. However, it does seem like there is more prejudice against Chinese investors as compared to Japanese investors although they are using the same model. Personally, I think these investors should be regulated more to benefit local communities.
Im a 90s kid..i don't know anything about the war between this two but what i know is Japanese are humble i work at a tourism company and they never give me much work they even give me bonus for my hard work..my late grandfather teach me how to speak Japanese and even write hiragana i don't even know where he learn that because of that i got a great place to work..well not that great lol what i love about my job..i can visit japan and buys some figure,plastic model and games..well this kind of hobby is a great stress reliever..
These days Japanese investments in Malaysia are very little. They much prefer Vietnam & Thailand. Actually its the US that have been investing heavily in Malaysia. The ones im excited the most with is Dell $7 billion project in Penang and Microsoft data center in Cyberjaya which will create 19,000 jobs, mostly high paying. There is even talk about Amazon and Google joining Microsoft in Cyberjaya to work on a hyperscale data center. I hope this will happen.

Japanese is better both in morality and intelligence.
Thank you for sharing. But since they are in diplomatic business relationships... it is very safe to say only they know of their collaborative future prospects!!
Also, Malaysia loves anime.
As for Japan, Malaysian warm climate and more laid-back work attitude has been attracting many Japanese ppl. And in Malaysia, there are Bon Odoris annually to celebrate relations, politically and culturally. I was surprised that not every country had sth similar.
And, in my experience, the ones who rmbr the Japanese invasion history in Malaysia are upset yes but they are more angered about Western ppl's colonial influences, which still has its effects today
Fun fact: Toyota is the most popular brand in every SEA country, except Malaysia(Perodua). But one of Perodua big boss is Daihatsu, which is under Toyota. So Perodua car is technically a Toyota.
Technically? My golf is owned by volkswagen, also owns bugatti. I guess my golf is technically a bugatti :)

That is the reason i love Malay peoples. They not throw all the blame at colonizer for colonize their country, instead they blaming themself and accept the mistakes their people did in the past like betrayal, not standing together etc. The past will stay in the past, the future is what upon us forever. What is dead, may never die 🇲🇾 🇯🇵
The main thing is the japanese demeanor is what we Malaysian and Indonesians can relate to. Our 'adab dan sopan' is similar to the polite and respectful japanese culture. The only difference is that the japanese educational system manage to integrate it successfully in their society whereas we still struggle to implement it nationwide. Not to mention the loitering culture which still needs fixing, hopefully the masses would learn to appreciate local culture instead of blindly following foreign one
Remember what they did in ww2. Lest we forget
Let us remember that they who did what they do in WW2 has nothing to do with ALL Japanese especially for those born after the war.
It is no longer appropriate therefore to use such a phrase because it is both illogical and immature.

Would be interesting if you could include tourism data between the two countries.
We aren't anything like the US - Russia cold war bromance relationship. We moved on and accepted with wholeheartedly towards others who's also wanted to move on.it's that simple
I came from Penang, there's a lot of stories about Japanese told by the elders, including our school field is where rebels are being decapitated, and lots of similar stories. Now to think of it, non of the elders told the stories with negative emotions. However, since the occupation is short, we do not have much Japanese influences like Taiwan has. It's a topic that happens around me but I never think too hard about it.
It is also noted that japan agreed a 'samurai bond' to loan malaysia some money to combat debt in 2018-2019 to which hasn't seen much improvement because the pandemic hits the world not long after.
But it is quite clear our country had such strong economic relations with japan that they're willing to help malaysia
Other than that, Malaysia got many races and all live in harmony, its favourable for the Japanese people parallel to its own culture goodness
To be fair, there still lots of racism and alienation here and there.
Meanwhile japanese in japan being xenophobic af😅😂
Idk about that, I'm Malaysian but I faced more racism here than when I went to study abroad in Australia. The "harmony" felt forced, you'll always hear ppl said "careful of Indians, malays are lazy, and Chinese only wants money"

my grandparents survived japanese invasion, although had some of their friends killed and was targeted personally by a group of japanese soldier because of my granparent's bloodline and my granpa's military title, they still manage to forgive them, they said "Its useless being mad at one Race just because they did something horrible in the past"
Yep, my dad were one of 4 student in whole Malaysia to study abroad in Japan in the 80s due of the look east policy.
Hppe Japanese and Malaysian continues to continue this strong tie, it'll be good for both countries IMO and Japan is easily one of my favourite country to visit and as a country itself, the culture is beautiful the technology is advanced etc
Who would have thought the country that once massacre my Family is now loved by my grandchildren. But then again times change. I hope this relationship can be strengthened more.

@@afizi1213 well its a win win. We love Japanese culture and they love sharing it.
@@Bob-em6kn I feel like Malaysia should provide many facilities for Japanese people to live in Malaysia forever 🤤 because they are Japanese people, they will not necessarily become another race and they will stay forever even if they are mixed with other people's DNA, so if I am rich I want to build a settlement for Japanese people in malaysia where more than 2 million Japanese people will live in malaysia will build any house according to their culture according to their taste 🙂🤣 at the same time Japan City exists
@@Bob-em6kn not only are there Chinese people but there are also Japanese people, they are like Malays and Indonesians but they are not the same but different languages, I have heard that Chinese people can easily understand Japanese because of the kanji
I love Japan. All because I grew up watching anime. It was influential to me growing up, shaping what I like. My mum was neutral about Japan but my dad who's a bit older, he lived through the atrocities that the Japanese done in Malaya when he was child. He didn't really liked Japan and didn't understand
why I liked Japan so much. I guess the opinions on Japan differ in different generations
Yeah to think about it especially when Japanese massacred most Malaysian Chinese before. But we are the future now.
@@adamharith6209 it's important to note that Imperial Japan is not the Japan of today. You don't just put an ancestors' sin onto their grand children simply because the latter wasn't even alive back when their grand dads are occupying foreign lands. never forget, but forgive.
Perhaps you have to visit, study and work or at least live in Japan for at least a year to really know whatever they portrayed in the anime are just, animation.. or perhaps their wild imagination of what they want in the society 😅😂
I'm sorry, but "I love Japan because I love anime" is one of the dumbest things I've heard recently
@@Eskayzeee I actually got into a cultural exchange program when I was 17. I stayed with my host family in Japan for a year and it was the best thing I ever decided to go for.

There was a Bon Odori festival recently in Malaysia and it was boppin'!
We love Japan ❤️
the main fact... from the former 4t & 7th prime minister, Dr Mahathir very keen tie with Japan.. Until today.. event one of his son studying there in Japan & fluently talk Japanese languages
They are the most hard working , smart and quite .. never ever underestimate them .. ♥️ Japan
Probably a bit too hard working
Yup working non-stop that they got trucked and isekai to another world.
@@Ride-With-Me-69 truck-kun can't be stopped.
every Malaysian student during mahathir time as the Prime minister for 22 years from 1981-2003 grow up with a lot of affection or admiration for japan in their tech in their pop culture their language..his policy not just influence the gov administration and bureaucratic policy but also on other aspect of normal malaysian daily life..i remember we use to have a lot of tv drama from japan in our malaysian tv both in gov own tv and private tv station..there even a japanese language segment on radio...thats how most malaysian kid in the 80 and 90 grow up to love japan through this soft power or cultural exposure..we love japan so much and anything japanese from car engine to manga/anime to sushi to JAV etc.
I am very grateful that my dream country chose my country because Malaysia has received many great services from Japan since the second world war, Japan has helped Malaysia develop important national industries such as vehicles and others before the appearance of Chinese goods, it is Japan that has contributed a lot and also Europe, so japan should strengthen its importance in malaysia, malaysia has given the green light to increase the ability of japanese culture in malaysia, japanese culture is very good how can malaysia reject it after all now there are many malaysian and japanese together and married, at the same time developing japanese malay ancestry
and I can say that Japan is the best trading partner that Malaysia has ever had, look at the quality of their goods, they are durable, the prices are affordable and it fits the character of a developing country even though it is not very rich, this Japan has an Asian soul, it contributes almost 60-70% world goods, we are lucky to have Japan in Asia, many Malaysians are amazed by the spirit of Japan, they use a lot of Japanese goods, so it gives encouragement that this relationship is great
Well, the Japanese occupation mainly targeted chinese. Malays were mainly let off. Hence there is not as much blood n hate with majority of the population. This is just a fact.
Just like Thailand is 2nd on the list, bcuz they surrendered in Japanese invasion. This is also a fact.
Yupe, the Malayan Chinese took the brunt of the hit, most Malay were left unharmed, although there are still casualties from the Malays.
Its amazing how strong the relationship Malaysia Japan is when Malaysia seeking loan, Japan give it with lowest interest rate to Malaysia
Lot of Japanese work at Johor Bahru.They always hang out and drink at permas jaya.Thats fact because im grab driver.I always got booking from them.
I'm disappointed that u did not mentioned about how the peak of Japanese culture, manga & anime, contributed to the extremely positive views of Malaysians towards Japan
Mahathir was the person who started the "Dasar Pandang Ke Timur" movement. Which basically means he was proud of asian countries that were advanced economically and technologically
Funny how I've seen a lot of Japanese channel having a vacation in Malaysia rn
I saw like 5 videos of them tho 🗿
May this partnership benefit both Malaysia and Japan for many many years to come. I always love Japan although I've never been there.
When it comes to Japan, Malaysian are very forgiving. My grandmother, who was a teen when Japan “visited” during the 40s, refused to her dying day to use ANY Japanese products.
My late grandfather, when he was a child, had his father killed by the Japanese emperialist. Though every time my grandfather ever mentions Japan, he'd always talks about them as a matter of fact, without any malice. Which surprises me despite what the Japanese did to his father. Though my grandfather was never the vengeful(pendam) type. And to this day, imagine his first grandson, me liking the Japanese culture. Haha
Its the later generations who didn't went thru the war that probably more forgiving given the fact that they only learn history of the occupation but not the torturing n hardships. Probably thats why that generation is called silent generation.
These generation at their final phase. The min age currently around 70's. Moving onwards, we don't have any grudge to hold. Only a story will be pass on as reminder of their hardship to achieve what we have today.
Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️ Japan 🇯🇵
The then prime minister had a buy british last approach and was very outspoken of the american involvement in the Israeli occupied palestine. He found an economic icon that he could lean on to still be progressive and manage to spite the western world once in a while. A byproduct of being right i would say.
Legend Dr M....
No earthquakes, no volcanoes, no typhoons. It is a no brainer
I want to go in Malaysia now 🥰
I hope Malaysia and Japan are both culturally empowered and equally help in strengthening this good relationship, when I see TH-cam there are still many Japanese people who do not know about Malaysia, Japan should include teaching Japanese children about Malaysia in Japanese schools so that they see Malaysia as a great country even though it is small and separated in two but has cultural and religious diversity, making Malaysia interesting, and among the countries with the largest Malay population in the world, Malaysia has also received many cultures, so it is not wrong if you help Malaysia to strengthen the mastery of the Malay language widely in Japanese schools, whether it is compulsory or not, it is definitely highly encouraged because we also work hard to learn Japanese even though it is difficult
As a fellow Malaysian i can say all he is saying is 100% true
Thank you to our xPM Mr Mahathir look East policy
Knowing we have such good relationship with Japan warms my heart, considering all of the conflicts we've had when they colonized Malaysia.
Let the past be the past! (^_________^)
Yea
did this is really just showing up after my history test yesterday...
As a malaysian, we’ve simply forgiven Japan for what they’ve done to us centuries ago by bringing us anime.
You came here too ?
Yes😂😂
What happened in the past was way beyond horrible, but we can't simply see the sons as criminals if the crime was commited by the fathers. We need to forgive for our own good; time & people have changed
Nice video
malaysians who grew up in the 80s with anime and video games have a favorably view of japan. this is japan's soft power at best. current generation are exposed to k-wave from korea.
Welcome to malaysia Japan!! ❤❤❤
So is this why I have quite a few japanese friends here? Hmm... tbh both proton and perodua seemed like successes here since both are everywhere.
Good job Dr M for choosing Japan as the partner. Definitely much better than China if you ask me.
Pretty cool, love both countries
Malaysia 🇲🇾 strong relationship with Japan 🇯🇵and we love them
Thank You TUN DR MAHATHIR. TUN M 🇲🇾.
It's been my dream since then to get married to a Japanese even though it means I have to migrate to Japan and live there. Help me 😭😭
Please dont… just accept who ever people even from other country to love you babe
@わからない already got one
former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad really is the founding father of Malaysia - Japan relationships.. his Look East Policy back in those days are the key platform on what Malaysia has become today..
Proton does uses Mitsubishi tech back then and become Malaysia's national car brand but nowadays Perodua takes on the title as Perodua still uses Japan's Toyota / Daihatsu tech.. Proton on the other hand changes to China Geely tech and that makes them now below Perodua as Malaysian favorite car brand..
In the upcoming near future i can tell that Japan will always be our most ideal partner.. it's true that Japan once invade our country, making our ancestors lives miserable back in WW2 but we Malaysians have this thing called forgiveness as taught by Islam teachings and beliefs.. the way i see it, Japan is making up for their mistakes in the past by helping Malaysia develop alongside them towards a better future together like good friends or brothers do..
As a Malaysian musician, all I can say is there is no Malaysian musician that I met that didn't like Japanese music especially Jrock ♥️

Would like to chip in a bit here. When Japanese investors come to Malaysia, they will bring along their own contractors, supply chain, financier and business partners (keiretsu model). Therefore, these Japanese investments doesn't really benefit local communities much since most of the money flows within the keiretsu structure. The Chinese investors are also replicating the same model in Malaysia. However, it does seem like there is more prejudice against Chinese investors as compared to Japanese investors although they are using the same model. Personally, I think these investors should be regulated more to benefit local communities.
This is so true.
agree
