Wow interesting.
First time in my life I hear Malaysian wants to take picture with foreigner. As a Malaysian I don't want to take picture with random people
I agree, local Malaysians don't do that. I'm guessing these are workers from other poor Asian countries who want to impress their buddies here or friends back home that they are hanging out with a Caucasian girl.

I think it was a foreigner from a neighboring country who asking for a photo. Malaysians rarely take photos randomly with Westerners unless they already know each other.

True most Malaysians don't do that.
@@vister6757 I agree with you
Agree
exactly... especially in KL where kids grew up seeing caucasian all the time, it's really nothing special about them that makes us want to take photos with them... 😅
What she means is that she's not interested in the local men and wants to date expat guys. But the expat guys are mostly having fun with the local women and aren't interested because they're having too much fun.
FACTS!
Oops
Maybe the local men are not interested in her either. Some more she's a vegetarian. Malaysia got so much yummy food but all she cannot eat. How to bring home and meet parents? 😂
😂
@@aero.l "Never trust a vegetarian." 😀
That's odd. Malaysians generally never asks strangers for photos unless the person is famous or an influencer, I guess those people not Malaysian. Also, chewing food with mouth open or talking with mouth full is considered rude in Malaysia too.
My friend ask strange from western to take pictures together. Weird.
It could be challenging to recognize foreigners since it is very multicultural. Malaysia has a lot of foreigners only Malaysian can easily differentiate them.
@@babibrain My friend are Malaysian malay. He ask foreigners to take pictures with him and she (foreigners) politely reject him.
Usually this attitude is from our neighbours country
finally, somebody had spoken the truth.. we r not amaze with foreigners.. please..
FYI, Malaysians don’t simply or randomly take photos with foreigners no matter how weird, ugly, beautiful, famous or infamous you are. That’s not our culture or the trend here. 99% of those people who do that are most likely foreigners of other Asia countries who works, lives or stays in Malaysia 😊

Dating here in Malaysia are hard because it is VERY different than in Europe. First of all, dating is considered a foreign culture so some people are uncomfortable of being alone with others. Secondly, dating in Malaysia often happens to get to know another person while in Europe, it could be done for sexual interaction which usually does not happen here. Thirdly, Malaysians attend to seek long-term relationship with someone and therefore, they could not ask a girl out on a date as often they could be asked in Europe. And lastly, religious factors plays a bigger role here in Malaysia compare to Europe. Malaysia has four major religions - Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity - and of all these four, only Christians could go on dates easily while the other three religious followers could be more conservative and conserved.
you were spot on bro. we kindly a lil bit reserve in terms of relationships because we value the time we spend to reach that point, because we've been thought what ever happen, family number 1. because we have been thought ASIAN culture compare to Open culture in western country.
@@mohdariff4432 - Yes, which is a common feature in most Asian cultures regardless of their religions.
Bro, totally i agree with u.....
Agreed with u,I have a friend n best friend indian..she never go out for date with a man..because her family too strict on tht matter..they can have relationship once engaged..for me I'm really proud to be conservative and reserved..we gain respect from others..
@@farahharis5016 - Problem with Westerners coming to Asia is that they often associate terms like Traditions and Conservative to Religion ideals.
In Asia, if I were to define Conservative and Tradition into a sentence, it could be "Asia is a DIVERSE society with COMMON SHARED TRAITS." These common traits may or may not have links to religion.
The reason locals won't ask for photos is because we are a multi-cultural society we are so used being surrounded by different faces. Unless the person is a famous figure or artiste we definitely won't miss the chance.

In Malay culture, chewing with one's mouth open is considered rude. This is one of the dining manners that we've learnt early on.
Some other things considered rude are talking while you're chewing, and making sounds while you're chewing (the 'chap chap' sound).

'Well developed' banglasia talks alll mighty. Indonesians are starting to retreat from you slum ravaged country. Came to KL once and was so dirty, never wanting to go back, it is like little Dhaka.
I am Malaysian. Stories I hear of asking strangers to take a photo with is weird even to me. Feels rude and invasive no? Not sure if this is a generational thing. I propose all foreigners just say no and walk away and we will track if this trend dies by the next generation 😁

As a Malay man, I sympathize with her. I truly believe her when she says her dating pool is small because I noticed too many conflicting values for a relationship to blossom here for her.
First of all, she can take the Malays out of her options right off the bat.
Think about it. When considering the dating habits of the Malays, it is important to note that conservatism is the norm. Most Malays date with the intention of marriage. It is very normal for us not to engage in premarital sex before marriage. I can see it can put off a lot of westerners.
Yes, in my university years, I had friends who slept with their girlfriends or bohsia or prostitutes, but they were mostly just kids experimenting with sex. And they were considered the "naughty couple". And some of my friends are what most would consider the liberal Malays. They experimented with alcohol, drugs and sex in their 20s to varying degrees of course.
Even among liberal Malays, such behavior is not typical, and most eventually pursue marriage as they enter their 30s. This pattern is reflected in my own friend group, as almost all of those men once engaged in sexual experimentation are now married to liberal Malay women.
Despite these liberal tendencies, intermarriage is still rare though. Partly because for a Malay, there is no such thing as cohabitation. We literally risk a raid by the Islamic Departments if we do that.
However, this does not stop some Malays from cohabiting with their non-Muslim girlfriends/boyfriends ; they just need to know which areas to settle down in. For the rest of us, it's too much of a hassle.
Plus, this kind of thing puts a lot of strain on these mixed-race relationships. So, in the end, they either get married with the conversion of the non-Muslim partner into Islam, or they just break up.
So, in this context alone, her dating pool is reduced to Non-Muslim Malaysians and other expats. But let's say I'm a non-Muslim; that vegetarianism thing will probably be another hurdle.
Personally, there's no way I'm going to forgo nasi ayam, no matter how infatuated I am with a woman. Maybe I can pretend to be a vegetarian for a period of time or even convince myself that I can be one in order to win over her affections. Ultimately, I doubt it would be sustainable given the significant role meat based food plays in our multi racial Malaysian society. I'm too far gone man!
No more KFC? No more viral food hunting ? Forget about it.
Muslim or not, Malaysians really love food, and that's not an understatement. It's a warning. We are the fattest country in Asia because of this national obsession.
Lastly, her monthly expenses, which are estimated to be around 5k to 6k including rent, suggest that she is among the Top 20% (T20) in terms of purchasing power in Malaysia. (I'm making a lot of assumptions here, she could possibly be a M40 spending almost at full capacity. But I highly doubt that.)
In contrast, the majority of Malaysians fall within the B40 and M40 categories, me included. It is fair to say that her lifestyle expectations may not be feasible for the 80% of locals.
I mean pretending to be vegetarian is one thing. Pretending to be rich in order to keep up with your love interest? LMAO. Good luck with that. It's literally one of the most popular tropes in almost every evening Malay soap drama on TV ever!
So, based on my groundless theories above, her ideal partner avatar is a vegetarian non-Malay (expat or local) who is in the T20 bracket. That's kind of niche, in my opinion. But life is full of surprises, so who knows right? Anything can happen.
Welcome to Malaysia BTW.
very interesting to read! thanks!
True. Being a Sri Lankan living in Malaysia, this is completely true. Usually in the eastern culture, relationships are considered more serious and the final expectation of both parties involved is to get married. And also marriage is kind of an essential thing in the eastern culture.
A married couple will also be living the married life while playing the traditional husband and wife roles. Everyone is expected to have kids. There aren’t many people who say I don’t want kids. Even though they don’t want to, they have to.
Raising kids, give them a better education, working hard on taking care of the expenses while taking care of children, having some quality time with your partner in the meantime are not easy things. These things are extremely difficult with a modern woman (mostly a western woman). Life’s hard and if you keep fighting for the rights of you gender role, you’ll be left with no time to live your family life. You definitely have to make commitments.
As someone who had few relationships with some western women, most of the modern women don’t fall into the category of marriage material. I’m not talking about all the women because there are many caring and loving ones among the westerners too. And also I’m not talking about a man being a wife beater. Having a family, being parents are not easy and at some point the life, most of the eastern men and women expect to have a family. And many expect to have someone who would agree to take care of their parents when they’re old too. So a modern woman can’t live their independent life in a such situation. And marrying such person would be a risk. Since people expect to have a family at some point in the relationship, someone who is not into such of a long term commitment may not worth it.
Cannot eat kepci is a big no no. 😁
It is really maths.. and knowing how women generally move in life.. You are right based on her background and income, the pool of men that may pique her interests is very very small.. Because for long term relationships, woman ideally wants a superior partner if not equal in status..
She can move to East malaysia, dating pool is larger
You could boil water from the tap and drink it. If you think you can't but if you eat out most of the time let me tell you are actually drinking boiled water from the tap when you ordered drinks (except canned, or bottle drinks). It's safe. Malaysians don't usually drink straight from the tap -- they always boil the water before drinking it. Some households may have installed water filters for drinking without boiling.
Betul

"people chew with their mouth open"
definitely not by most malaysians, the malays dont do that, we have this thing called 'adat' , english doesnt have a word for it but its similar to 'customs'. or simply it means unwritten, traditional code governing all aspects of personal conduct from birth to death.
example: like you see alot of malay kids/youngsters, when they greet the parents, adults, elders they will take your hand and bow and put your hand on/close to their face or forehead as a sign of respect.
so eating with your mouth close is one of them.. its considered rude to eat with your mouth open on a table with others
👍👍👍👍👍
In english it's similar to ethic/moral.
@@jsurfin1 As a Malaysian Chinese, I've been taught it was rude to open your mouth while chewing, it's common sense 😂
Have you interacted with any Malaysian who like to open their mouth wide while eating? I'm pretty sure I've not observed that before, probably some older folks might do it but I can't recall such thing happened.
@@lromycl So you’ve been taught proper etiquette. Good for you but it doesn’t mean everyone has had the same education. Like you said, probably older folks tend to display such behavior so it does exist. No need to get defensive. I’ve lived in Malaysia for quite a number of years so this is just my observations.
@@jsurfin1 1. I'm just sharing my perspective since you specifically mentioned Chinese
2. Again, I'm sharing fact based on my observation. I acknowledge that I might not be too aware of my surrounding but I don't remember seeing this being a common occurrence in Malaysia as a whole.
It's not a defensive statement, you shared your observation and I shared mine 🤣, let's just leave it at that ✌️
As a westerner who moved to Kuala Lumpur this year I totally understand what she means about the dating culture. If you're not interested in the locals there are very limited options for you and if you're not part of a major demographic group you're going to be lonely as most people stick to their own kind. Even if you are interested in dating a local its going to take you a long time to progress in your relationship as people's concept of a relationship is a lot different than the people in the west even if they're in their 20's. If you value having romantic relationships before marriage you're going to have a really tough time here.

Tip - we have minimum wage (although not the best) and paid monthly (unlike such as in America, paycheck to paycheck). We have strict Employment Act (which many do not know).
In Malay culture, it's a no no to talk while eating.
Same with Malaysian Chinese culture, a "No-No" to talk with food in mouth ! Consider as rude, bad manner by Chinese Malaysian elders !
I kinda agree with her on everything except the taking pictures part? I don't think I've seen anyone do that, that is a super weird thing to do. Are you sure they're even Malaysians? They might be foreigners or foreign workers though, we do have a lot of them here..

Dating is hard for a Western female expat in Singapore too. My Russian teacher told me this. The locals are intimidated to ask you out and the male expats tend to treat the female expats like they are on Tinder dates but they end up marrying the local women. I felt sorry for her when she told me she wanted to marry not be on long Tinder conquests. I hope woman who wants marriage gets healthy men for marriage wherever and whoever they are.
Maybe I'm just not aware of my surrounding but I don't really think chewing with your mouth open is a thing in Malaysia 😂, pretty sure I was taught since young it's rude to do so 😅

If you are a beautiful foreigner then the more Malaysian will not ask to take a photo with you because when it comes to stranger, we are super shy but we are also super helpful and friendly with foreigners.

As a Norwegian Russian, the lady speaks fluent English with a perfect accent. I am impressed.
She speaks american with a discusting accent.... another reason for not dating her...
russian invade urakine... bad russians...
i live in Norway and norwegians in general have a good english. They have the opportunity to travel around countries in their life so they take advantage of these opportunities and create international networking.
@@brandoparedes4305 But she is also Russian, and the Russian accent of English seems eternal for Russians.
@@mindawareness she do not invade. You need to stop spreading hate
dating is not hard, the word I'd say is different. as an intl student i like it more here compared to back home in America. in the US dating is stained by hookup culture. while here people seek long term relationships and value time together. I'm currently dating a local. we met in college.
Exactly
I don't think those are locals who asked for picture. It is really rare for local to ask for picture
I am from Ipoh and when i am in KL, i hardly walk around, it's always driving right up to the destination and get back to my car. One reason is the hot weather and the only place i walk around would be the shopping complexes which i rarely go to. Most of the times, i see more foreigners on the streets or on the public transport which i had a few experience. Anyway, for me the best place would always be Ipoh even though i am not a local. I settled down in Ipoh for 25 years.

I agree with her on many levels
I am from the UK born and bred but I do know a lot about Asian culture being of Pakistani heritage so I get the western perspective being bought up in western society as well as the Asian cultures. I have also travelled around 20 countries in Asia including Malaysia which I have been there 5 times
I am planning to retire in KL soon so this is quite helpful.
I've visited Kapas, Redang, Perhentian, Penang and Langkawi. I actually love Langkawi more than Penang.
U really rich dude..... And please as local we dont which foreigner stay or retire here..... We local already have to much population..... I can say foreigner bring too much prob where they not respect local culture...... We know europe always think they re so special because they re white high caste like king and asian they slave......

Glad to have u guys here
Im a malaysian. Im quite certain those who asked to take pictures with her are from neighnouring countries who came to work here. Malaysians, regardless of ethnicity would never ask for such things from a stranger. We have bangladeshis, indian nationals, people from nepal, myannar who come to work here - i dont blame her if she couldnt tell the difference.
Anyway, i am glad she likes it here and wish her all the best.
Malaysian are a reserve type. It's always Malay, Chinese and Indian first culture. Definitely different from the west.

The weather in Malaysia (at least in KL and PJ) has been unusually cool these past 5 plus years, compared to as far back as I can remember (mid-1980s). While there have been a few heat waves per year, they generally last for no more than 2 to 3 weeks. Prior to this, heat waves would last 4 to 6 months with minimal or totally no rain, making life extremely uncomfortable without air conditioning or a well designed and insulated home with appropriate airflows. Along with the half-year long heat was the terrible haze that would envelope the region (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia) for weeks and months - we've not had haze these past 5 years (touch wood..)!

True, I grow up in PJ since 2002, the house was super hot I remember spraying water around the house and my body as a kid 😂
@@felreizmeshinca7459 Yes. Until 5 years ago, I needed at least 2 showers (baths) a day and in between, splash water on the body to cool down. Now, 1 shower is enough. :)

Hi, I just discovered this video and your channel because I arrived at Kuala Lumpar just yesterday from Singapore, and before that I am from Canada. I love this type of content. It's super informative. And I am just starting to appreciate Singaporean and Malaysian culture
subscribed !! Awesome contents thankyou , keep it up ✨✨
Most of us don't adopt the western "dating" culture. We go out with "friends" to see if you can be a "real friend" or not then only you talk about being boy/girl friend. It's old school common sense, if they can't be a "real friend" you don't want to be with them.
Most stereo type Chinese are the open mouth eaters, also some people (even asians) actually can't get used to Durian that's for sure so no point promoting it. So far our country has been a low cost country with first world living for westerners, hope we can maintain to be like this.

One good thing about 'circle getting smaller', if you managed to find one, that someone is truly compatible with you. Like having best friend till the end of time.
The circle is getting smaller because her standards keep rising and her looks declining.
She was probably referring to the expat circle which she dates from predominantly. Otherwise there are plenty of local men to choose from.
@@jsurfin1 ya, i believe a lot of local men would like to date her
@j Being from Norway, the local men she can date are predominantly non Muslims so the circle is still small. She's a vegetarian n drinks alcohol, which is a no no for Muslims. So unless she is willing to convert, she can only date expats n non Muslims.
@Hikayat Paragon western woman expect guy make the approach first . Too bad its in our nature not to approach girl because of privacy
I’ve always lived in desert landscapes. And for sure can relate. You never get used to the extreme weather, you just know it’s coming.
Im soooo glad hearing how much u love living in my country 🫠🥹🫶🏻
I dont think malaysian asking for her photo. Usually its foreigners that works here
Dia salah faham tu....kalau ada kawan2nya dari Malaysia tengok video ini harus perbetulkan minah Salleh ni.
Dating is difficult everywhere if one is looking for perfection. I'm a Malaysian living in London for almost 10 years; everybody said it's difficult here too. Meanwhile, the population density in London is probably 3-4x higher per square km than in KL, and the city is diverse, yet many young adults still complain about the difficulty of finding someone! It's almost statistically absurd. I've seen my share of boys and girls who struggled in this because they look for something that does not exist - perfection.
Also, it's not a mystery that many modern women look for ~6-foot men, tall dark handsome, high-value men with 7-8 figures salary. Just look at some interviews; I guarantee you'd be appalled by the women's requirements. But they don't know these men are just 1% of the male population and have much to choose from.
I am a Spanish citizen leaving in London since 2019 and I agree with you.

Great vid. Very interesting.
Former HK expat here 🙋🏼♂️
she was right on the point, loved the way she talked
Lovely video. The weather in Norway is too boring. The prices are too high. I love Malaysia been there twice.loved Penang. Langkawi is pretty. And many things too see.KL is safe and very clean.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund in Norway is the richest in the world as they don't have corruption, I am not from Norway but admire how they invested the revenues from North Sea Oil to take care of their people , (unlike in the UK) and especially the infamous 1MDB Sovereign Wealth Fund in Malaysia.
1. asking for photos? hahaha i don't think that's malaysian. just because they look like us it does not mean they are malaysian... as malaysian this is funny. real malaysian will only ask for photos if you are someone famous (if they recognize you). Are you? If not i can assure they are not malaysian. The least malaysian do is just look at you or stare from afar hehe
2. dating is hard? maybe it's due to how your expectations... the higher your expectations, the less chance you got to date anyone. i've met a lot of foreigner who expect 'dating' in malaysia similar with the way their dating culture back home... when they can have casual sex, display their affectionate publicly... malaysia is modest, we don't do that... behave in public; all is good no one cares
Perhaps she is a walking red flag, that's why all the good quality men are avoiding her. Also her valley girl vocal fry voice is annoying af.

I really enjoy this candid yet professionally-articulated sharing. The video is also well-crafted, well-edited with adequate length and chapters. Well done to both Max Chernov and Synne for this. Thumbs up!
If you are looking to forward to do such a candid interview with an english-speaking native from North Borneo, count me in! I am happy to share.
🙏
God bless you max. Thanks for the video.
So nice of you
As Malaysian I think,never to asking tourist to take the photo together accepted we know that person.
She is not a tourist aunty
For foreign women, i think it is true that dating life in Malaysia or to any ASEAN countries is difficult as men usually look to foreign women not easy to adjust and adapt to the local life, culture and religious belief
Here principle date is want to know for marry..... Marry here is one time only in a life....i dont know europe people
I'm a married foreigner in Taiwan, and it's the same here, but a lot of foreign men marry local woman but not the other way around. Do you think it's because Asian men are not as open-minded as Asian women?
Great Editing of this video,--you indeed invested time into it. Regarding photos,--it's happened to me in Asian cities/countries where few visitors tread.
thanks for your great video
thanks max, i might be forced to go to msia as singapore is getting too expensive for poor me
Norway is one of my dream place to persue my Maseter study...i never been there...but the photo of mountain, lake, waterfalls look so amazing for me
Only in summer
You won't want to live there if you're used to tropical weather and sunshine all year. WHY? Because it's 6 months in darkness and 6 months of white nights.
If you're in KL and you're used to 24hr food and a city that never sleeps? You'll be bored to death in Norway. But it is an advanced nation, and most Scandinavians speak English well.

Cold weather... i miss it. I am from California, yes we have nice weapons. But spent 6 years in Korea. Loved the snow, wind and cold wind as you breathe it in.
It's actually not hard to be vegetarian in Malaysia. There are many options and it is quite common to have a vegetarian friend here and there. I think we shouldn't be making assumptions of her dating life based on the limited information shared here. Many are jumping to conclusions here about her diet and/or her preference for expat guys only. She did not mention any of these things and it's her personal life. As a Malaysian, I am ashamed to read such shallow comments by fellow Malaysians. Stay respectful people, we are better than this
100% agree! There is not enough context to judge
So make the context max... dont come into malaysia with singaporean eye..
Wow props to you for leaving this comment. Very good and wise reply
There's more vegan / vegetarian food being incorporated into most omni restaurants now due to the demand.

In Malaysia people dont date, they get married. My wife (which is Malay) visit over 30 weddings each year. People follow the Religion which tells us to find someone for marriage, not for fun and U can truly feel the blessing within the society when people follow Gods rules of life.

Yeah. I love Pulau Kapas as welll
WHATTT? malaysian asking you for a photo randomly? Errrr never heard such kind.
Islam is about if you like someone you set up a meeting with them under the supervision of guardian and talk to them to see if you guys are compatible. If yes then marriage. This is done to prevent perverts, guys looking to only sleep and run from taking advantages.
Nice video.. Love Malaysia..
Hi Max, I subscribe to your Channel for 1st time today.
Already 6 years in M'alaysia, Synne has yet to "blend" into truly Malaysian culture.
Her networking circle is obviously very limited.
Is she aware that lots of Chinese & Indian Malaysians are vegetarians ? Vegetarian dishes therefore easily found in Indian & Chinese vegetarian restaurants/stalls & temples. There is a hidden vegetarian gem at the back of that famous Chinese Temple in Jalan Ampang, on the same side as KLCC. This place serves breakfast & lunch only, at affordable prices. Can always do take-away if do not want to eat there. Google for Chinese vegetarian restaurants in KL which serve one of the very best in the world ! Vegetarian satay, squid & chicken that look & taste like the real stuffs but are all made from gluten. Be prepared to be amazed ....
She has learnt like a tourist has :)
Love to watch this interview talking abt Malaysia from a foreigner/expat pov.
KL might be the best city for expact. Literally It's a cheaper/bigger version of Singapore. But less chaotic than Bangkok. Its central, varieties n yes, cheaper among other southeast Asian cities.
Great interview! Insightful, honest, objective, and well spoken. I really enjoyed listening to the topic being discussed!
Her accent is interesting. Her voice has that stereotypical valley girl tone to it which some people find annoying but at the same time, her Norwegian accent creeps in. I wonder if its because of the influence of American media. I hear lot of Scandinavians speak very good English and some even adopted the American accent from consuming lots of American media.
She went to university in the States.
It's so easy to pick up accent especially when you have lived and studied in a certain place for some time. It just happens naturally most of the time.
@@sofiaglove not necessarily but it's easier for some people to adopt a new accent.
Yeah, it's annoying when she does the vocal fry.
@@pinkymoon5039 yup, that's what I'm saying and it's a lot easier when you are surrounded by them. My roommates were American for 4 years and without knowing it I picked up their accent when returned to Malaysia.
Miss, next time just say NO if you are uncomfortable your photo taken. And as Malaysian i can say, taking photo with foreinger is very very very cringy. No Malaysian would do that. Malaysia people are reserved and polite, sometimes shy And rarely want to interuppt other people.
I like that "for now im here" idk why... It has a sense of security to me
I will travel to Norway soon.. looking for Fjord.. sometimes.. we must go outside to love our country more.. maybe the weather factor is correct..
As a malaysian this is the first time i heard about strangers asking for photos. But yeah it could be some weirdos or those foreigners. Either way just say no
“Discrimination “ in dating based on ethnicity is still unfortunately relatively prevalent in the year 2023 and not very much talked about .( Things are getting better )
Usually as most people know , White Male Anglo Expats have an “ easier “ time dating local “asian women” compared to White Anglo Female Expats due to local asian women practicing discrimination in their selection.
As a result , White Anglo Female Expats struggle in finding a local “ asian male “ should they desire to do so.
However, my humble suggestion to her is for her to find an unconventional and unorthodox local asian men that doesn’t fit the “standard stereotype” of Asian men.
There should be a quite a number of them around since Malaysia is fairly “ globalised “ .
interesting perspective!
You are assuming she is not practising discrimination against local guys
@@alese7531 Well, the comment was meant to raise awareness for other people in her position so I guess it is alright.
Being a vegetarian n Caucasian who drinks alcohol, she wld hv to confine herself to the non Muslims n other expats unless she's willing to convert to Islam.
Nice interview. Is that a hotel you are in or a condo, Looks amazing!!!
understandable about aircond, most of us have never even seen snow or worn more than a layer of clothes outdoors
Taking photo with her? Not ordinary for malaysian. 😂
Mad dogs and Englishmen (and Norwegian/Russian women) go out in the midday sun! 😂
I like her English accent.
Ps: I am glad you have adopted the Malaysian habit of not wearing shoes indoors! Great!!
She said it all, As a foreigner i relate, just to add, Malaysia is a nice place to live, bet me, many people prefer to stay in Malaysia. Socially and economically Malaysia is welcoming.🙏
Meggi goreng is also my favorite as well. However sometime the restaurant especially mamak stall they don't used real meggi instead of used other dried noodle
Malaysian men are ecstatic to have a foreign girlfriend like you and bring you home and introduce you to their parents and friends. It's some kind of achievement to them since you're fair skinned and stuff. Too bad they don't have this energy towards dark skinned women though. 😂
U misunderstood what she said....
And Malaysian men didn't have balls to approach them

Don't date...just get married 😂

Learn to differentiate between
Malaysian and foreign workers. all those years living here and still can't tell.? LOL get off KL sis. you will see the true side of Malaysia outside of Klang Valley. east coast, northern peninsula, borneo. those are authentic parts. I swear, no one bothers to take pictures with random tourist unless you're already famous.
Synne should go to places where people don't spend 6000 RM a month if she wants to date
I also have difficulty dating in Malaysia too.
After watching this video.. now i understand why she said dating in Malaysia is difficult.. it harder to find premium quality boyfriend here in Malaysia. Because most of them already married or most of them just going for a random paradise destination fling..
The best quality Malaysians and expats are not in Malaysia.
