- As a first time OFW, I have a fair share of cultural shock moment when I first move to Malaysia. On this video, I share with you my 10 culture shock moments.
You can also watch my other video about the Reasons WHY I think Malaysia is the Best Country for Filipino Expats: • 10 Reasons Why Malaysi...
Malay & Tagalog belongs to the same language family, thus the similar words. However, we don't understand each other. To put it into perspective, Malay, Indonesian, Bruneian, Singaporean, South Thai are like siblings. The siblings and Filipinos are like 2nd cousin. Ethnically/historically, native Filipino are also Malay. But now everyone got mix mix la 😂
Yes due to different colonizers. But historically Filipinos are part Malay since Malays are one of our ancestors
Even in Cambodia there are Malays there
Ya and we are from the same ancestor. Fguritively speaking
Philippines & Filipinos is a Spanish invention...
I agree almost everything you said,, except for the word *Malay* you use to mention Malaysian... Malay is a race, which is not limited to only one country... like what you said... while Malaysian is a nationality, as equal as Indonesian, Bruneian, Singaporean...
When Malaysians say Thank you back to you when you say thank you..it's bcos the appreciation is both ways. And yes..they do say "You're welcome" if it's appropriate.
Sebab bahasa tahalog dan bahasa melayu adalah dari punca bahasa yg sama tetapi kerana jarak dah lidah lama kelamaan menjadi lain..
I learned tagalog from a lot of teleserye, “Pangako sayo, Temptation of Wife, Poor senorita, Marimar, Dyesebel at iba pa… higit sa lahat, welcome po sa bansa namin… i wish i could visit Philippines one day… maraming salamat po Ate… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Honey.. of course we know some of your TV series.. Well, i never watched any, but i know their existence.. 😅
Not just Philippines TV series, we also broadcast Indonesian sinetrons, Thailand's dramas, Singaporean sitcoms, Japan & Korean dramas too.. Malaysia is an incredibly diverse, multi-ethnic, multicultural, multilingual country, remember? 🥳
At school, we learn sooo many things about our neighbouring countries historically & geographically.. Sadly most of them knew very little about us.. 😓
Proud to be Malaysian..😎
I remember "jurang mariana" or the "mariana trench" from my geography class
Hi or selamat in tagalog. I am malaysian and i am so happy that you feel comfort here. Lets get happy together ya. For the spirit of southeastasia we malaysian love filpina very much.
Awwe. Thank you for being so hospitable 🥰 I really like it here. It feels like home to me ☺️
If you go to the Rizal Museum and look at the pictorial history section you will see that the Filipinos used to dress just like the olden days Malays with tanjak and sampin. But the Spanish and subsequent US invasions changed all that.
Not only Pangako Sa'yo( both versions), we also know Mula Sa Puso, Bituin, Marimar, Forevermore, and much more...
About the Tv Show because too many foreigners from indonesia, philippines, japan and korea work in malaysia that's why malaysian television make it tolerant .. so in malaysia we have indonesia Tv show, philippine Tv show, korean Tv show , chinese tv show, indian tv show and Japan ..
Ohh. I see. That’s nice!
Terima kasih. Selamat berkenalan.
Perbezaan bukan menjadi sebab kita tidak boleh menjadi kawan.
Ha ha. Takeaway is the term used in Malaysia and Singapore.
It’s unusual for me to use takeway to refer for taking out your ordered food. Back in PH I just hear “takeaway” when asked what are the lessons I got from a movie or a meeting. 😅
@@HoneysMYStories Yeah cause Americans have butchered the English language 😊
Else you can just say tapau 😂
nice content adn beautiful smile.... i love sanay wala ng wakas the most
So helpful. Thank you.
Actually on mid 2000 our education system allowed to use both British English and American English,but students must be consistent in choosing which standard they are going to used in their test or exam & cannot be mixed ..most Malaysians are exposed to most term of both standard of English of British & American,but some just don't realized certain terms belongs to which standard.
Example,we all know pants & trousers,or can & tin,lift & elevator..and use them interchangeably...
Early 2000 Filipino TV series drama is quite popular broadcasted on local television..such as Pangako Sa'yo so ppl growing up on the 2000's mostly recognised Jericho Rosales & Kristine Hermosa..and also Dingdong Dantes & Marian Rivera (they have a few series shown on local TV too)
Regarding your point of similarity of the words on the language,that because Malay & Filipino are same root under Austronesian language,so we have so many cognate terms,the most difference striking features are Malay does not conjugate its verb while Filipino does it & the affixations are less complex compared to Filipino.
Your comment is a good read. I learned a lot 🥰
I like your mentality regarding tourist/local fees. Some have the mentality that its not fair for tourist having to pay extra instead of seeing it as local being subsidized by the government. Similarly even local fees in some places, often time involving governmental offices and hospital, there will be exemption (or discount) for government workers/staff (apart from elders/student/disabled discount).
I really like that policy and I hope our country should do the same as well. That way, we can also enjoy our attractions in PH on a discounted rate.
Thank you - thank you..win win situation 💯
Yes! Hahah
Ang gnda mo sis hehehe
have you ever been to sunway lagoon? it is a water theme park next to sunway pyramid and not far from KL..i hope you enjoy living in Malaysia..😊
I havent been there but I heard it’s very beautiful and huge place. I would love to go there soon ☺️
@@HoneysMYStories yup..it's like an Genting highland outdoor theme park with a water theme..so after a few years in malaysia can you now speak in malay?
Yes its fully different the English here in malaysia... ive been here for more than 30 + years... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mabilis lang po matuto sa bahasa nila... mostly salita nila is mix kung ano, ano lang... 🤣🤣🤣
Nakakalito nga minsan yun english nila. Pero masanay din. Gusto ko din matuto ng bahasa kaso wala pa akong local friend na pwedeng magturo 😅😂
Tulak or push in borneo Sarawak call tulak also..
A lot of words are the same yah?
@@HoneysMYStories yes bro..a lot similar
Our dialect in Sumatera, the third largest island in Indonesia, push is also call tulak. While our official Malay language (Bahasa Indonesia) call tolak.
Non-citizen pricing is mainly for tourist visa holder. If you have a work permit, student visa, MM2H visa etc., you could get citizen rate but it might be vary on different attractions. As for English, we learn British English but we didn't emphasize that it is British English but simply English. And we are quite expose to American English as well because of the international entertainment industries. So I think we could understand both and sometimes doesn't even know the difference but just make it like normal English in general. For example we do use Rubbish and when asked that is another word for Rubbish? Trash and Garbage are the answers... and some will be confuse if you replace 'another word' from the question earlier to 'American word'. As for me, I just use whichever comes to mind first and sometimes wrote color and flavour in the same sentence. Since we are accustomed to 'rojak' language mixing Malay English Mandarin Cantonese and Tamil in one sentence, American and British is way too easy 😅
Ohh. I thought it’s either local or foreigners. Now I think we need a refund. Haha 😅😂 Kidding aside, I’m always amaze how multilingual Malaysians are. So many language. I think you know minimum of 3 perhaps? 😅
@@HoneysMYStories i am proficient in Malay (my mother tonge) and English (3 if English divided by British and American 😂) ...understood a bit of Mandarin and Japanese but can't speak well. My kids can speak Malay Mandarin and English fluently since both of them attending Chinese school.
The only time we emphasize British 'element' is on Electrical Engineering class because it is very important to know that we follow British Standard. Other than that, I don't think Malaysian need to be known the difference.
@@OvDevilz there are some Filipinos who doesn’t understand some words in British english. Like lift or rubbish. The last time I heard those words before coming here is when I was in high school. 😅😂 that was mentioned by my teacher. Also Takeaway. Didnt know this before I came here. We always use takeout 😅
@@HoneysMYStories we also have that kind of similarities and difference for example Malay language and Indonesian language... we generally understand each other but some words are different and some word is the exact same word but the meaning is different. Not only that, Malay language spoken in Singapore and Brunei too have slight different words/terms that only used there and same as English, generally we understood each other. FYI, official language for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei are Malay language.
@@OvDevilz Nasuntara right?
Here in Malaysia " Take out " can mean " Can i take u out ??? " but if we use " Take Away " then we automatically understood that d food is to be taken away ... 😄 ...Well that is British English ....
Really? Oh boy. That would be so embarrassing to use the word “take out” when talking to a local 😅😂
Pangkosayo my favourite movie..
Kristine Hermosa and Jericho juga pernah datang ke Malaysia. Begitulah hebatnya pengaruh Pangako Sayo di Malaysia.
went to Australia for 3 weeks same culture shock din as yours. haha! nakakalito yung daan pati yung passengers seat sa sasakyan
Diba? Hahah nakakalito talaga 😅😂
If it's expensive, locals won't go but we want to encourage locals to enjoy local attractions as well
I actually like that policy and I hope our country will do the same
TIL in both Indonesia & Philippines, pump attendants and blackouts are common... another thing is, they took the hit for every typhoon and earthquake heading towards us in Malaysia 😅😅😅😅
Really true. Almost every month there’s a typhoon in Philippines 😅😂
As a Malaysian... we mean the original pengako sayo ... Christine Hermosa & Jericho Rosales
I personally never go up or down the wrong side of escalator because I always look at the floor. I look for up and down always
Agree..all tourist areas have 2 tier ticket system. Locals have lower salary or income compared to tourist. Just imagine a local wants to go to oslob or coron , how much are they going to spend? If you go up langkawi's skybridge, the ticket system is 2 tier for example.
Haven’t been to Langkawi yet. But hopefully soon ☺️
@@HoneysMYStories malaysia's destinations in general are mostly suitable for family vacations while those in philippines and bali and thailand (from what i saw in vlogs) are suitable for younger age groups of 20 to 30 range. It is mostly sun, beach and water. I cannot imagine a 70 something westerner jumping into kawasan falls or jumping into the sea at siquijor for example. Also our night life scene is subdue (low key) compared to bali or thailand as it is a predominantly muslim country although alchohol is available. Islands like pangkor, tioman and langkawi is duty free. Mainland is expensive. So we do not have a culture of party at night and drinking until you go naked on the street like in uk. However , perhentian islands maybe a bit different as backpackers love to go there...yes crazy party there and drinking. I guess with new rules in boracay, more backpackers will throng perhentian islands in the east cost. Which is called malaysia's maldives there. Overall malaysia's destination are friendly to families. Perhaps too boring for singles(westerners), they prefer thailand or philippines like the tagline "it is more fun in the philippines !"
@@keangwooichoo6138 Ah yes, Perhentian Island, Perhentian Kecil to be exact, & the Long Beach area 🤩 It’s like a whole different vibe there 🎉🔥💕
late 90s telenovela title Angelito also popular in Malaysia
Ohh. I havent known that. That’s a good to know info 😁
pinoy girl...sweet..maganda babae...terima kasih
Thank you for watching ☺️
asean once were under 1 family ... Nusantara family ... that why we have similar language
Yes! That’s true. Filipinos came from Malay ancestors so that could be the reason as well.
Tagalog with East Malaysia like Iban tribe using the same word & meaning for "manok", "bansa" "lalaki" and the rest like buka, kanan, tulong, takot, anak, langit, mahal, sakit either the same with Malay or iban tribe.
"thank you, thank you" hahahaha
Thank you and thank you...
Yeah it was primarily due to the old days influence by either the british or americans. So here it's lift, in philippines maybe it's elevator, right?
BTW, may we know which city/town in the philippines are you from?
In the case of the response to a person saying thank you, I think it's merely a subconscious decision to not be too formal - responding with you're welcome sounds a bit too official, perhaps similar to the mandarin bu ker chi. Plus, in some instances, the 2nd person may also feel that the 1st person has done something worthy of being thanked for as well so the entire process gets shortened that way 😊
I didn't watch that TV series but of course I was aware of it, it was popular here back then, so they must've meant the original production. Similarly the song anak was popular wayyyy back, perhaps that song was the 1st eye opener to many if not all, malaysians, that tagalog and bahasa melayu share several common or almost similar words 😊
Someone also told me that Pangako Sayo have been an eye opener for them about tagalog and bahasa words being similar since there was a scene that the actress shouts “tulong” which also meant the same as tolong here.
@@HoneysMYStories yeah probably. But if I'm not mistaken, the song came wayyyy earlier 🤔
Hehe... I was watching your video just now and u mentioned no blackout. Crazy coincidence. U are in KL right? Did your area got affected by today's blackout? I'm near Cyberjaya and we are ok, not affected. Last time I experience blackout was probably 4-5 years ago. And that was only for like less than 1 hour. Even that they give us advance notice first bcs it was for maintenance
I know there was blackout because a lot of my workmates we’re affected. Luckily, we’re not affected. I’m staying in Sentul area. All good here 😁
@@HoneysMYStories I guess we are among the lucky ones!!
@@kopxpert hahaha indeed!
Hi honey.. Welcome to mlysia..
Awee 🥰 Thank you for welcoming me ☺️
Malaysian "Baby Boomers" and "Generation X" sure knows the song Anak, covered by two local big bands and the original singer himself in bahasa Melayu.
Nahimuot kos escalator 😆
Ulaw kaayo. Na wrong jud ug sakay 😂😂 hahahah
sa Manila wala naman brown out..
sikat yung Pangako Sayo starring J.Rosales and K.Hermosa...mostly SEA countries.
almost has same and similar Tagalog words and Ilocano words with Melayu
❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️
🇲🇾❤️🇵🇭😘
Hi po ask o lang, sa ma notified ako,
Ask ko po kong sino ang magdadala sa ofw worker paponta sa pinapasukan na trabaho sa abroad
At saan po ba sila matutulog, or mag bobording po ba ang mga ofw worker sa ibang bansa , at mag kano po? Ang gagastusin....
Wherenis your hometown here in the Philippines?
Very nice here in Malaysia im here now hehehe padikit guys hehehe
I hope Filipinos and the government of the Philippines would consider to reintroduce and reuse Malay language as its Lingua Franca or National Language since many of historical inscriptions or documents were written using either Old Malay or Classical Malay...
Beside, many Malay words still exist in today's Filipino Language, so it won't be that hard to relearn it.... 😊😊
Just imagine if the people in the Philippines also speak the same language as the rest of people in Maritime of South East Asia.... we'll bind a bit stronger and have better understanding 😊😊
👍
Thank you for watching ☺️
Hi po, is there a Filipino store in KL? Like near NU?
Sa Kotaraya po. From KL sentral sakay ka ng Kelana Jaya line papuntang Pasar Seni. Tapos walking distance lang siya from there. I made a vlog when we went there: th-cam.com/video/fYwubk25oGs/w-d-xo.html
Ahhh okay2x po, will watch your vlog nalang po miss. By the way, thank po sa help nyu during my journey going here in MY. Hope to see you soon po.🤗☺️
Er excuse me, but may I know what is the meaning of the tagalog word siya in your reply there?
Philippines is part of Malay Archipelago, we just need to step back to our history.
Most of the time if Malaysian says Pangako Sa'yo they will referred to the old version (Kristine and Jericho)
Tagalog & bahasa melayu... there is a sad story behind it
I rmb the word "takeaway" when my malaysian bf and I are talking about our plans for next year. Turns out us filipinos its take out
Yeah, take out is what I usually use. I keep on forgetting it’s supposed to be takeaway. Saleslady will get confuse every time I say take out 😅😂
Actually many filipinos in the island of mindanao and sulu,their local dialect is bahasa melayu.
Whoa. I didnt know about that. But perhaps since sabah and sulu is near, locals might interact a lot of times and learn each others language
I don't know how to put this... But if you learn the history of the Philippines... There were quite a number of malay sultanate reign in the islands... For example, the sultanate of fi'amanilah ( manila ), sulu etc... If I'm not mistaken, before 2000 or 2010 something like that, all Pinoy are classified as malay in their passport coz I used to see it on my Pinoy friend's passport...
@@enchesoyaregaliaatriadelig5951 I have seen on TV ,a decendant of sulu sultanate spoke in Bahasa Melayu when interviewed in Sulu.
@@amiryazidali7659 agree... Only part of the Mindanao, especially muslim ( Moro / malay ) can speak well in malay...
Not just Malaysia..Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia & Brunei also drive on the left side of the road.. 😆
I really had a hard time adjusting to the road here 😅
Philippines used to be left-side drive, too, but the Americans introduced right-side drive.
I didnt know there's a different version of pangako sayo series
They made a remake in 2018 or 2019 so that the young generation can relate 😅
@@HoneysMYStories I see..i guess im from the older generation 😂
Hi ms honey! You are losing weight po any diet tips? Blooming!!!
Naku. Feeling ko sa angle lang yan kasi medyo malayo sa camera 😅 pero thank you ha, i feel confident na tuloy haha 😅😂
Hi kabayan I'm new here in Malaysia, my location right now is Kuala Lumpur,, saan po pede pumunta na mdaming ma meet na pinoy
Hello po. Usually marami sa Kotaraya kasi dun po merong Pinoy stores
@@HoneysMYStories paano po ung MGA ibang dh po dun Nd po ba talaga cla nkakalbas dhil wla daw dayoff tpos pati CP bawal
Great video, but so Many unnecessary sound effects
Hi honey... Since bahasa melayu kinda similar with Tagalog... How bout bahasa challenge for 24 hours... You may start learning bahasa for a month with your local friend's help... Speaking the language of the people is speaking to their soul... Same happen to any tourist visiting the Philippines... They have no issue using English there coz it's widely spoken but if they can speak Tagalog, we can see a very wide smile n like a queen treatment from the locals... Am right? Dare to accept this challenge?
Ohh. What a wonderful idea! I would love to do this. However, I dont have a local friend yet 😅 I’ve been working from home since I arrive here so I dont know any locals yet. But in the future, I will probably do this. Thank you for the idea 🥰
Good luck for your next video... Can't wait to watch it 😜 take care!
Pangako sayo... christina hermosa yess we all know
I think the different price for some accommodations/attractions in Malaysia between locals and tourists is not because of affordability factors nor privileges, rather they were built by Malaysian taxpayers money.
Thank you, thank you😂
Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi Maam nde po related sa content mo pero may itanong lang sana ako..Regarding po Sa MM2H Programme may idea po ba kau kase need po ang Approval Letter from poea..Nagpunta na dn kmi sa embassy dto sa kl pero nde nila alam Baka po alam niyo paano po makakuha ng approval letter..sub done po
Hello Miss! New subscriber here. I recently got an offer to work in Malaysia. May I know how much it usually costs to rent a place in Malaysia, KH?
And lastly, thank you so much for your video ❤️ Bisaya man pud diay ka 😅❤️☺️
Thank you kaayo for watching. Ang rent sa condo depende gyud na sa kadako like studio type ba ka para ikaw ra isa or like room imung e rent. Sa condo sharing dpende pud if katong pinakadako ba or katong gamay lang. Base sa akong experience if middle room usually naa sa 500-600RM ang rent wala pa apil utilities
Okay lang po ba sa miggration dyan or dito sa pinas na may kulay ang buhok?
Okay lang naman. Di naman issue yung kulay ng buhok dito
@@HoneysMYStories okay lang po ba canned goods like delata like pure foods at mga sinigang mix na dalhin sa check in bag? Hindi po ba yon iconfiscate?
Be carefull, there will be indonesian people that jealeous and say malay people try to make all people in south east asia become malay😂😂. They hate it when we say our ancestor is malay.
🤭🤭🤭
Present again 😅😂
Actually malaysian use both english UK and US😂 sometimes I don't even tell the differences 😆
You have a wide vocabulary on the english language since you know both. Sometimes we Filipinos will be confused with some words because we’re not familiar with UK english 😅
May age limit po ba tdcx malaysia?
I think wala naman po
What if 3wks passed but haven't heard from hr yet? I was advised to wait after passing the assessment kc
Same po tayo till now wala pa din update. 3weeks na.
Aww stop hiring daw sila, july na mgresume.. i passed the final interview pero pending na yung offer.. on hold daw yung hiring😞
@@meeeeeceeee7669 ay ganun po ba..nakaka sad nman. Thank you for the info po
There is no number 4 at the lift because Chinese thinking numbor 4 is curse number
What’s fascinating is in Philippines, it’s number 13 that is a cursed number. So we don’t have 13th floor. And then here there’s 13 and 13A floor
If there's a Blackout here in Malaysia,it will be a disaster..Moreover, if the Queens & Kings on visiting,hospitals and etc.
I’ve been here for almost a year now and I didnt experience ang blackout 😅
Arent u also shocked with the superb malaysian roads,,world class highway system,excellent healthcare system and top notch education system compared to philippines?
As a Filipino not really that much, especially now The Philippines has new president so the system has huge changes in just atleast less than a month, we already felt the changes particularly the transportation, since we’re archipelago country plenty of islands we prepare bridges to connect island to island🥰. Guam 🇬🇺 (Pacific Island) Country USA territory, Has lots of shocked to us Filipinos cuz we don’t need to acquire a VISA to enter GUAM since GUAM is America territory, and we didn’t know that Guam population is related to Filipinos almost the population are Filipinos some Filipino descent and similar culture and Foods, the health care system, tourism, Salary, education and other stuff are smooth. So we’d prepare GUAM it almost our second home for Filipinos including HAWAII (🇵🇭❤️🇬🇺)
@@HiItsMe-ip8cj php is far away from massive development...remember,,currently the poverty rate is 40+%...When the new presd can reduce to below 10%,,then u can talk..for now,,php is still a poor country,..hope for the best,,
@@fairaudit in second quarter of this year 2022 it becomes lower the poverty rate, since the Filipino-Americans, or Filipinos who live in America they do a business back here in the Philippines so they give Employment for Filipinos particularly in Tourism Industry
@@fairaudit since the Philippines allows Dual Citizenships so The Filipinos who born and raised in America or different Foreign country could acquire Dual Citizenships so they can owned a property in the Philippines
@@fairaudit 40% bro?🤡 that’s a half of the population of the Philippines 40% 🤡? Don’t thorwed uncertain DATA
I am sure Philippines was colonized by Spain before US. Malay language contains some Philippines language words most like they were adopted.
Can you speak louder? because it's too quiet
do you speak malay or not?
Unfortunately, i dont 😅 i need to learn tho 😅
@@HoneysMYStories wish you good luck
just why would you move there?
Malaysia is a great country to live and explore. Although I’m a foreigner here, it feels like home to me. ☺️
Kambing=goat
Movie us . Speak English. Malaysian speak rojak us+English
It goes to show how rubbish the Philippine local and national government. More than enough reason to leave this forsaken country for good.
We malays know everything about Filipino...we are ur ancestor..call me grandpa...😄
Hahaha yes, Malays used to stay in Philippines before they move down to Borneo. So, Malay is indeed one of our ancestors. Evidently, Filipino and Malay look similar 😅😂
Yes we look the same...when i visited Philippines before...almost 70% Filipino ive met like waiters, receptionist, sales persons at the mall speak tagalog to me...i just smile and said im not Filipino...sometimes ive to show my passport because they didn't believe me...😄
If Austronesian migration began from Taiwan to Philippines to SEA to Pacific and Madagascar, Filipinos are your ancestors, not the other way around.
