Thanks for all of your amazing feedback! I will definitely return to Malaysia in the not-so-distant future. Cheers, Jack
This is not a goodbye, this is a thank you. Malaysia always welcome you back...🙏❤️
It's not compulsory to wear masks in Malaysia outdoors & indoors except when taking public transport & going to a hospital or clinic.However,the Malaysian public is cautious to protect themselves & family members.We're free to walk around without a mask but we prefer to wear one.
That's why he's calling us being paranoid. Masks not working, but you do you.
actually...I just took a flight out of penang just, like...2 hours
and yes...was attacked few times for not wearing. quite stressed really...I crossed out penang..as a tourist. dont worry.. lotsa other clients/tourists I saw! wont starve.
you can prefer to do anyting you want, but you also require others to copy you even though it is a stupid idea. this is rather evil and you should help to dissuade others from doing evil onto others.
Malaysians are sensible to mask. When you know better, you do better. And doing better means protecting yourself, your family and your community from respiratory illness. Europeans suffer from hubris and are regressing to a pre-public health understanding. Respiratory viruses with high mortality rates are rising in the West. The UK is the worst on public health. I say that as a British person in Britain who masks because my family are immunologists and scientists.
I love Malaysia I love food and people and hot weather.my wife she from Sarawak she IBAN I'm from England one day we moving back to Sarawak in Malaysia
Thanks for your compliment about Malaysia.. hope you will return to Malaysia.. you are always welcome. maybe next will be Sabah and Sarawak..
Enjoy your exploration in Indonesia. Beautiful country.

The diversity and harmony that I have seen in Malaysia is one of the things that really stood out to me. Trips around the country in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023 have imbued in me a love of the country. The people, the culture, the food, the weather, I love it all.
Great video all the best brother
Your content quality's definitely improving exponentially and you look a lot more comfortable in front of a camera. Looking forward to see what you have lined up in Indonesia!

TQ for visiting Malaysia
Enjoy ur next destination n hope to see u again to malaysia.
About paranoid to the virus, easy way to say. If you're not lost someone in your family members to the virus. Yeah , you can say that. But almost of Malaysian lost their families members to the viruses, that's why we still alert (not paranoid) about the virus. For your information, today facemask not compulsory anymore.
From your first impression about the country you have arrived. I can see you will comeback here to Malaysia.. hahaha.. see ya
Yup, paranoid.
Definitely a paranoia. I'm from Malaysia too, though I live somewhere else, so I know how paranoid my people can be. It is necessary to live with this virus in order to develop immunity to it.
Ada yg paranoid dan tidak. Tergantung diri seseorang
yeah i'm still paranoid. 😭😭
I also travelled to many places and guys many of the people that died was also on purpose because the hospitals maybe a lot of money. Many people put on wrong methods etc, was a very evil time. It was all planned, the rich got richer, pharma companies along with the whole mob made a fortune. My dad was with cancer that time and they told him he had the virus, they were doing their best to convince him to be out on a machine and the stuff they did ( this is europe ) and he found it weird how desperate they acted…so ended up he did another test outside the hospital ( private ) and he did not have the virus…so guys it was all set up. But being very honest to all people that lost someone to it I am so sorry for your loss!! Just keep in mind a lot of things were planned along that time etc!! If Malaysia will ask for vaccination upon arrival again meaning I would have do more vaccines I will never go there! Hopefully that awful time is over!! By the way I wanna move to Malaysia because it seems awesome
Malaysia is Tourist Asia 101, for 1st time traveller... Malaysia is great place to start before you get into the more hardcore places. Yeah not so much on partying, sex & drugs 🤣🤣🤣 unless that is what you are looking for 😋... Malaysia is a more family friendly vibe....
To know malaysia is to love malaysia
We will miss u 💖💖
Enjoy travel Malaysia. 😁👍👍From MJC Malaysia.
New …i am cooming , hope u will come back to malaysia again …have a nice next trip…
Liked the video, thanks
🔥🔥🔥
Jack Roaming - the 5 step getting into Indonesia part is designed to be inclusive for people who do NOT have or cannot afford mobile smart phones. Not everyone is rich in Asia. This is the same reason why they do not have an onilne entry declaration for you to download. The queue to pay and queue to collect hard copy visa is separate because Indonesia has an endemic corruption problem which their government is aware of. That explains why the process is designed this way.
Nice video 👍
1st time watching ur vlog. But too bad u left Malaysia already .. anyway, looking forward for ur nxt vlog.. new destination . Done subscribed!
You can get complimentary food and drinks on some direct long distance buses. Try Aeroline.
I love your videos about plane company! What about a feedback on ANA vs Japan airlines?
Thanks! ANA is definitely an airline I want to review in the future.
Any recommendations on a good Airbnb in George Town? I'll be staying for 3 months
Thanks for your honest opinion about Malaysia !👍👏👏❤❤❤ Please come back again in future .
l believe you haven't visit East Malaysia..Sabah & Sarawak.
Next time;)
YAY Country Number 70!
There is lesser pedestrian walkways because we seldom walk around. We drive. It is very hot to walk around except at hill stations.
we are no 3 laziest people to walk in the world... lol
@@iliasimran it is just the weather. Less cyclist too.
yes i agree 👍
@@keangwooichoo6138 agree with U..terlalu panas untuk jalan kaki atau berbasikal..kemudian hujan..😅
Singapore is not hot? People walk around there. Malaysia city is just not centralized. Everywhere was just too far and pedestrian walkway was just not there.
Just subscribed to your channel 👍🤗
Could you travel to Jakarta from KL without vaccine passport or testing?
You are right man, while everyone else than Malaysians are move on from the pandemic, most of the Malaysians still live in it, and they still enforcing their own laws to other people. I am sorry you had e to leave, I hope you come back again when Malaysians are finally moving out.
Singapore visa before travelling couldnt do it online after many attempts so got stuck on arrival to do it in the terminal that and had to go to manual passport check took ages.......Really Singapore?
As digital nomad, you can apply to stay in Malaysia for 12 months which can be extended thru MDEC
Any idea how many times this can be renewed?
Salute you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Recommend to visit Langkawi Island which is a tax-free island where liquor is cheaper than drinking water.
What a great video and wealth of information! Thanks, I subscribed! Question: do you know anybody who just bounces back and forth between Hanoi and Penang back to Hanoi then Penang year after year staying 85-89 days in each country as a tourist on a US passport? Do you think I'd have any problem doing this? Probably not for Vietnam since you just pay the $25 and (after 8-15) you get a 90-day visa, but I wonder if Malaysia immigration officials would eventually take issue with you spending nearly 6 months each year in their country (the other 6 months in Vietnam). I'd love to just bounce back and forth, forever, between Vietnam and Malaysia as a US tourist, if possible. Your thoughts? Thanks.
Seems possible. I've met travelers that have spent years in Asia. Usually 6mos per year is the limit in several countries otherwise you will have to pay income tax where you reside.
Penang has many expats. Singaporeans speak good english too. Not only hk or philippines.
Do come to Malaysia again
Jakarta, call for prayer was heard
for southeast asia country, malaysia actually is top 3 after singapore and brunei in terms of money making.. if u compare our price with vietnam and cambodia etc, yes u will see huge difference..
Good Food is actually 15-20$ for now here for 1 person and 1 lunch. (Not at streets)
You must meet Mr Basten Sebo in Indonesia
I really appreciate your candor when voicing your opinion. Too many vloggers sugarcoat anything and everything to avoid offending the viewers. Have fun in Indonesia! Don't miss Borobudur and the surrounding temples.
CHINA IS MORE PARONAID THAN MALAYSIA....THERE ARE NO MORE LOCK DOWNS IN MALAYSIA BRO...
thanks + enjoy go to bali
The new airport of Indonesia is at West Kalimantan...
Pls come n visit Mlysia again nxt time sir..
Goodbye sir.. Welcome to Malaysia again~
What hotel did you stay in Penang for $25 a night?
Thank you. Anyway, you're not yet come to Borneo. You have too..
Jack, would you say Penang is a good place to retire?
not at all... penang is a busy city... the best place for retire in malaysia is taiping... very peaceful place but still have everything that you want
@@kamarulhisham3203 But aren't there quiet parts of Penang?
@@gothops2632 Penang is definitely a good place for retirement. When you are getting old, you need a city with good and top notch medical facilities. Penang definitely meets that standard unlike Taiping.
Agree with you. I hate wearing masks now but my neighbors are still paranoid and you know how it affects everyone around
Come to Sabah, east Malaysia, people here are friendlier😁
Come to Bali Indonesia
Most south east asian countries has visa payment. And 30 days only.
Before CO-VID , most Asian countries were visa free , only a passport needed for tourists from many countries in the world .
@@philipmullins5185 they need the money badly. Tourism is not the no. 1 revenue earner for malaysia. We can afford 3 months free for visitors. Our income is semi conductor and oil & gas.
Come again
Not sure how, but I stumbled upon you, which is great. So glad my country Malaysia treated you well.
As for the whole masking culture - I do agree with you, even as a Malaysian. It's what it's pertaining to not fully understand the fact masks aren't needed, worse of all, it's actually very harmful because it contained titanium dioxide in those N95, N94. Anyway - Like you said, it's best not to start, especially not on social media. 😅😅
Enjoy your trip in Indonesia, they've fabulous places too. Cheers
Hi where r u from?..my guess if from German or Lithuania..sorry 1st time landed to ur chnnl
He's from beautiful Luxembourg 🇱🇺

If you want cheap tax free alcohol you can go to Langkawi. The reason why alcohol is expensive is because its an Islamic country.
Tioman and pangkor
cheapest boost in malaysia is at Labuan
@@watb8689 you mean booze..lol..oh really ?
Glück grüsse
Absolutely. Malaysia is not perfect. For hundreds of years, it has been Asia's melting point of cultures and races. That is always a work in progress for our country. Sometimes we get the formula wrong but sometimes we get it right. No matter what the results of our effort, the Malaysian people will always figure out how to find a balance. No government can unite everyone but when we are pushed together, we unite across. Good example was during the COVID pandemic, the great 2021 flood and -- badminton. Stuff like those brings us together.
hmmm, i think it's not that we're paranoid, we wear the mask just because we're used to it, also other factors like concealing ugliness, avoid smokes, bad breath protection etc 😂
Singaporeans speak english too
Hope to see your video sharing about visiting the new capital of indonesia so called Nusantara and thanks yet appreciate 🙏🤗😍😇
some people in malaysia still wearing a mask. they still afraid of the virus because if they die they need to spend a thousand for the funeral😅
Good bye. 😂
About the mask, it become a norm. Accept it. Would you like someone to coughing openly?
schooling someone to "dont cough onto people" in public....is not to punish _every...single...person_
only Offenders need to be penalised. it is wrong to punish _everybody_
since 1% is murderer, why dont entire world be in jail? - your answer is same answer as "why dont punish/bully/force _everybody_ into masking.
Think. ....think lah, please.
As a local, would like to adjust ur POV.
1 - Malaysia not safe. robberies are still rampant. it depend on your luck most of the times.
2 - Public transport is inefficient.
3 - Grab for locals, are not cheap . For foreigner on stronger currency , yes it is cheap.
4 - Our local country development has been stagnant for 30 years due to gov mismanagement , bad policies and etc.
For tourism for foreigners , its completely fine and great experience. Hope u have a great wonderful experience here.
The food and multi diverse population is our plus points.
🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
What a fake comment!
Telling you're DAP and PKR supporter without telling you're DAP/PKR supporter.
All countries look bad on their own citizens' eyes but look great from tourist perspective. We might adore UK,France,Autralia etc but trust me when u ask their own people they will mock their own countries as like they are heading to doomsday😂
