    Malaysia is amazing!!! But in some way, I prefer most people don't know much about this beautiful country, because some kind of people tend to ruin things... like Thailand and other crowded places. Some people don't respect places and that's a shame. That's why I like Malaysia has some strict rules...

    And personally, i thought, this is just my observation... When Malaysia get more tourist every year, and we heard from their perspective what they love and hate about Malaysia, it clicks in Malaysian minds that we have something beautiful that we take for granted before. We always compare ourself to other country but forgot to admire what we have. Observation from years ago. 😌

    She is right. Malaysians should do better when it comes to punctuality. However I wonder why people have this view that we are very relaxed. I think we act that way because that is our personality but our schedule is very pack. I mean Malaysians are notorious for being overworked. I remember watching Rafizi Ramli interview and he said when he worked as an accountant in the UK at one of the big 4 audit firm people don't work overtime as much as accountants in Malaysia do. An Australian friend of mine who is a Doctor, when he heard that Malaysian doctors have to attend to 40-50 patients per day he was shocked. In Australia doctors only attend 8-10 patients per day. That's what he said anyway. Malaysians are overworjed, probably because we don't have enough professional/high skilled workers. There is however a lack of entrepreneurial spirit among Malaysians. That to me has to do with the level of economic development. Countries tend to become more emtrepreneurial once they become rich.

      Good or bad neighbor can come from all walks of life and ethinicities. I am malay and i have good and bad non muslim neighbors. my preference, well TBH i prefer muslim neighbors regardless his/her ethnicity because all muslims (regardless of their ethnicities) are sisters and brothers to me. We are one ummah. I can't say and feel the same for non muslims but i will certainly help them if they are in trouble and ask for it. This is what islam teach every muslim to be. Be a good and considerate neighbor. If you have a rotten muslim neighbor, then he or she is a rotten muslim.

    My friend is from France and his parents have been against him coming to Asia to work, citing Asia as a very dangerous place. I think the perception of Asia as a dangerous place was because of the history of Vietnam and the Korean War, the political instability of some countries such as Myanmar, and Asia generally as "poor" countries in the past. Poor would generally mean unsafe.

    Lilith is cute... in term of punctuality, so far so good lah... I used to have many working meetings with private sector, bankers and government officers in 2019. I dun remember any meeting did not start in time.
    Let me share my experience:
    1) Dealing with Federal Gov - After the May 2018, a lot changes in Malaysia. I was quite impressed with the level of professionalism in the Federal Government. Majority of the high level civil servants are well educated. I observe that, they are compatible with Singapore Government agencies / authorities. I can meet up with Malaysia Government director level without paying any lobby fee. In Singapore, it is very hard to get Gov agency director to reply your email... I think they afraid of make mistake.. :)
    2) Dealing with district / local Gov - This is where you have to understand how they work... You have to deal with "runner" to get thing done, eg. applying business license.. The "runner" full time job is to help you to submit your application directly to the top officer office... this is how they make some money.. This is the culture.. You pay and your matter will be settled.
    3) Private sectors -- Money making discussion... everybody will always punctual. That's FOR sure.

    • @osirusj275

    • @HolyKALim
      @HolyKALim 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@osirusj275 Good question... It really depands.. In Malaysia, if you want to setup a factory, you are required to obtained a few licenses, some are from federal Gov, and some from state Gov and some from district town council.
      In my understanding, if you are bring FDI to Malaysia, you can directly deal with Ministry office, and they will assist you directly. If you face some issue in dealing with state or district town council, you can seek the Ministry office help and they help to get a runner, or some time they call "agent".
      These agents will help you to "cut que" and sent your document to the Head office for stamping or whatever approval.. and even help you to waive some of the criteria. By then you pay some runner fee to the agent.
      Never pay any $$ or lobby fee to the Ministry officer.. it is considered bridebery.. Don't take the risk. In current Government, it is more transparent, with clear protocol.
      In term of personal's matter, I think there are formal MM2H licensee. They are able to advise details of process and charge a reasonable fee. This is similar to Singapore, as wealthy people setting up family offices in the island.
