Heavy breakfast : Malaysia (Malaya or Malay Peninsula what it was called prior to the 60s) wasn't a rich country in the past, local are either paddy planters, fishermen, rubber tappers, tin miners and other really labourous workers. They have to take heavy breakfast (rice cooked with casava/tapioca and some local veggies and a little protein if they're lucky) because they need the energy to work under the sun for a long time down to lunch time (maybe a short drink of coffee in the mid-morning). Despite that they are usually skinny but still very strong. Heavy carb-laden breakfast was a necessity back then and life wasn't as easy.
Hoping u are hvg a good time in Malaysia. Squat toilet is available not only in M'sia but most other Asian countries as well. Lah is a term used to put emphasis on a word eg. Janganlah means do not and i mean it, pergilah means please go not just go, sakitlah means it is really painful, not just painful, laparlah means really hungry, not just hungry...it is a versatile expression that can be used in different contexts and situations - in happiness, sadness, anger, correctness, denial, etc. Burping is a normal thing here. Not considered rude culturally. The beaded car seat probably gives comfort to the drivers who drive long hours and maybe in this weather, getting stuck in traffic, their sweat wont get soaked in the fabric car seats! Ewww.
Its not International Driving License but International Driving Permit. Basically required in foreign country for proper translations of your driving license into local language, obviously every country use their own language and one could possibly forged the license and claimed its valid driving license from their country - but not everyone reads every one's language. It is a legal requirement to drive in many foreign countries (including UK), and it is a United Nations regulated travel document for your benefit and safety. For for carrying a passport, it is required to always have your ID with you at all time. Malaysian required to bring MyKAD and foreigners their passport. Without any of those IDs, you could be accused as someone who stays or entering the country illegally. I don't know why foreigners always felt weird to carry a passport with them but, god forbid, accidents happens while you are driving for example and you were unconscious, no one could identify you unless you have your ID with you so that everything necessary went smoothly and all parties will be notified promptly if needed be.

5:10 I think many Grab drivers here don’t carry change that often anymore, because most local passengers rarely use cash booking these days. Malaysian consumers are already about 74% cashless & Malaysia is said to become a cashless society by 2025. All transactions by government related agencies are already 100% cashless here.
true, i will always use qr pay whenever possible as i dont like to carry small change. the best part we can get points and it can be used as cash rebate
"Lah" is a particle which was use after a verb, an adjective or a noun to emphasize the meaning of the verb, adjective or noun mentioned. For example: * makanlah means JUST eat, *mesti cantiklah / mestilah cantik means must BE beautiful, * nasi lemaklah means JUST nasi lemak and etc.
interesting thing is, i've come across squat toilets in France in more rural areas. There are several reasons for them, one of which is actually hygiene as it stops skin contact with any surface especially in an area where sanitation might not be the best practice.
If you need to go and do your thing in the middle of nowhere like while your in the forest hunting or fishing or hiking then you need to squat in the bushes..😂🙊💩🐝
"lah" is basically an amplifier of the emotional component of your statement. "lah" will usually signal what you are implying without saying much with words. Also.. Burping is not really a faux pas in East Asia, i think. 🤔 Unless they're burping while talking to you, i think most won't say much about it. If i may add.. Farting tho is considered quite rude and (in some places) not to joke about. Why is this relevant? I donno, just popped into my head and thought I would mention it 😂

Hahaha...a grab driver is usually a part timer driver...i mean they have a permanent job but they just do it anytime they want for extra cash or money...they are not a taxi driver 🤭🤭...for the passport issue while driving, i think that's a common even for local..for a local, the police officer usually ask for our driving license along with our identification card...the burping issue, actually they kind of weird for me too...never happen to me ever (unless around family or close friend 🤣)...
police officer want to make sure that your are illegal foreigner or not. same as for the local people, police asked for identification card to make sure we are illegall local malays/ chinese/ indians .
Enjoyed your video and your candid comments about Malaysia. By now you should realize that "excuse me" is not in our vocabulary (never taught in schools or at home) but instead we use "boss", "uncle" and "auntie" out of respect for calling someone we do not know but who is older or special, example providing an important service. LAH is for informal communication, usually added to end a sentence. Saying a sentence without LAH sound as if you are making a statement, which sounds rude. Adding a LAH implies to inform you/get your agreement politely. For example, "saya makan" is making a statement that I am eating, period. "Saya makan, lah", means to let you know politely, i am eating as we speak. In Canada, the word "eh" is added to the end of a sentence for a similar purpose. Other countries have theirs.
Hi Skye, u do nee to keep ur passport with u at all times as a means of verifying ur identity. For us locals, we always always have to have our identity card with us failing which we will be fined. That's the law. :)
Think of 'Lah' in Malay as 'Ey' in Canada, or just another "okay". It's just a casual sentence ender. Squat toilets are pretty common in Asian countries, and some Middle Eastern countries as far as I know. It's considered "cleaner" than seated toilets as you're not sharing your bare bum with someone else or touching your bare bum on a surface. It's also harder to install the kind of plumbing required for seated toilets in the more rural areas of Malaysia. The "big breakfast" is more to do with the fact that rather than eating a separate kind of meal in the morning, you just eat the previous day's dinner in order to avoid waste. It's also a hold over from the not so distant past where people did a lot of manual labour day to day so a hearty breakfast to hold them over was better than a bowl of cereal or a smoothie (I sometimes still eat a big bowl of noodles or rice and curry from last night for breakfast if I have a big day planned). I'm a UK-Asian and grew up in Brunei/Malaysia as a child and still have family there, and I agree that some of the customs can be a little odd to anyone who hasn't visited that part of the world before. One of the reasons I really want to bring my friends there as it really is another world.
LAH context tips : A. Standard writing context : To emphasise the a word that combine with it. B. Common spoken context (comes with various intonations) : 1. Laaa~ (elongated ‘aaa’ sometimes with ups & downs like wavy lines showcase intention of begging just like “pleaseeee” ) 2. Lahh!! (Stressed H letters exhale from throat showcase anger emotion) 3. Laaa- (flat & deeper elongated ‘aaa’ showcase disappointment) 4. Lah (solid ‘lah’ showcase intention to emphasise a statement just like “yeah that’s it”, emphasise an instruction like “just like that/this” connotation or emphasis the spoken word before” 5. Lah! (Sharp & short ‘lah’ indicate annoyed or irritated emotions)
Naah... It had been 'made famous' just quite recently in 2015 esp., when Malaysia's ex-PM Najib Razak, was being probed on the infamous '1mdb' case. His followers wld say, "malu apa, Bossku?" (ie. what is there to shame, my Boss?). 😬🙄 So, people found that 'funny' (weird); & started to use/'throw around' that word 'boss' to anybody they need help from.
@@norzainimohd-zain1325 nope.. i'm already using 'boss' to chineese shopkeeper since middle 80's.. its only to chineese. And they called their customers also 'boss' at that time until today.
Hi skye! Actually a squatting toilet is most natural way for human being to do business. In this position, one specific muscle down there which looping our large bower in its relax state, thus less obstruction for doing business. Nowadays, people can use the sitting toilet also can mimick the squatting one by stepping on a small stool chair for same purpose. Hope this clear why does it exist here. One more thing in Malaysia, have you seen any bikers (especially small bikes) ther wear a jacket d other way round? Enjoy your stay here and thank you!
You burp when you have had a nice big meal. As a Muslim you say 'alhamdulillah' after burping which means 'praise be to God'. Burping means you are satisfied with your food. Your cook (wife/mom or whoever it might be) will love to hear you burp. What we Malaysian try to hide is farting. It is considered bad manners to fart in public.
@@MrQalamQabut In human bodu there are 2 way of releasin gas from your body, witch one is annoying things that came out from your but or from your mouth?
What the police meant regarding the passport was to keep it handy so that it shows that you have entered Malaysia legally or illegally if you dont have it with you whenever they doing inspections. Fyi, we are experiencing high rate of illegal immigrants or foreigners entering into our country.
The lack of the #4 is a superstitious thing…the number 4 in Cantonese is Sei (pronounced like say) and it sounds and is spelt like the word death or die in Cantonese which is séi. So it’s considered rather ominous to have death or die associated with yourself - in Bahasa or the Malay language, this would be considered “pantang” (pronounced like “puntung”) which essentially means it’s taboo or superstitious. So the floors will be like 1, 2, 3, 3A, 5 etc and 12, 13, 13A, 15 etc
i prefer squat toilet as i don't like my bum to touch what's left from the previous users. 'lah' is for confirmation or persuasion. example, A: let's go out. B: no, i'm busy. A: come on lah (persuasion), it will be fun. B: ok lah(confirmation), let's go.
Okay. I am going to try my best answering these 3 things: 1) LAH This word is an additional to certain things normally to express importance of other words such as, instead of just saying "Come On", we could also say "Come On Lah". 2) BOSS This word is quite new. In my old days we never use this word. The word Boss just means that we want to show some respect to other people by calling them "Boss" no matter what the gender or age are. 3) FLOORS Some buildings mostly owned by Chinese they have renamed certain floor such as the 4th floor becomes 3A mainly because Chinese doesn't like the number 4. Some floors are missing maybe because they want that floor to be "private place". I am not really sure about this one, I'm just guessing it. I hope this will answer some of your confusion 😁
About the floor numbers, the only one that I know of is 3A and it is like that because the number 4 sounds like death/die in Chinese and is considered an unlucky number. But I still don't know why the floors jump from like 5 to 20 even though I'm Malaysian 😅😅😅
@@SkyeSamuels Yea, the number 4 四(Sì) sounds like die 死(Sǐ) as they have similar pronounciations but different tones, and other floors such as 14, 24 are also replaced with 13A, 23A etc.
Don't know why 'they' wld want to continue some superstition. Really wonder if China number their floors like those 'old folks tradition' here over there!.. - with the head honcho/Mother of the chinese are/were right there smack in China. 😅 🤔 Was in Beijing more than 10 years ago, couldn't recall. Guess they (China) themselves don't believe in their Own old folks' tale, & that's why I might not notice/realized their elevator floors numbering system. Come to think of it, I don't remember the no. 4 was being replaced!... 🤠
Just to add to the explanation given on the floor 3A issue. Yes number 4 pronounce in Chinese sound like death. So as a developer or the building owner, they avoid naming the floor with number 4 as it will make it difficult for them to sell the unit on this floor as chinese will avoid buying or renting it. Certain place will avoid floor 13 as some people are superstitious with the number 13. Wallahuaklam
The huge floor number jump is due to another premises in the same building that is not connected with that particular elevator and have their own elevator. For example level 1-5 is the parking garage, level 20-50 are the residential (apartments) floors so that means 6-19 floors are either offices or mall that is technically in the same building but it's not connected with the same elevator as the residential for security purposes. Because in Malaysia, it's pretty common to have a building where the lower levels are malls and then the apartments above it. Usually in this type of building, there are separate entrances/lobby for the residential with their own security. So basically, it's apartment & commercial spaces under one roof but not connected and have separate entrances & security
in some tall buildings there are usually no floors 4, 13, and 14 because it is considered unlucky in Chinese belief. The building owner will replace level four to 3A or level 13 to 12A... for example
Regarding eating big breakfast, it is probably following the proverb, "eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch lika a prince and eat dinner like a pauper"? 24 hour restorants are for those who like to have late dinner or supper or for those who work late night shifts? Cheers
So truly findings by yourself here in Malaysia. We believe that 'burping' in low sound is a sound to result a positive sign for what we eat / drink almost daily. Due to too often some people burping make him / her not realize who was nearby. Hahahaha 😂. LAH is an additional some words to show deeper expression. Most TH-camrs from abroad like UK / US / Japan / South Korea who stays longer in Malaysia had explained about it. Most of us also do pay grab drivers via online transfer or we provide exact amount. That is why they're not ready to provide its exchange but some still can provide it. Anyhow, may you keep enjoying with happiness in Malaysia for foods, cultures, shopping stores / malls, transportation, people & hospitality, weather, beaches, islands & nature 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😘😘😘🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Burping is natural and sometimes shows that you appreciate the food you ate; however in Malaysia farting is considered rude behaviour and farts loudly in public places tantamount anger near you
Driving - for Malaysian we need to have both, Identity Card (or I.C) & driving license.. so similar to foreigners who's going to drive in Malaysia, Passport (equal to Malaysia I.C) & international driving license. Payment - Nowdays we rarely using cash to pay anything. Either using card (debit/credit) or using touch&go or boost or DuitNow any other electronics payment. Even myself, i rarely have big cash in my wallet, just below RM20 usually.
Normally in Malaysia we go for cashless now if we were taking grab car or doing online shopping...In the event where we need to use the cash payment option..it is either preparing the exact amount of cash tht you need to pay or I personally will just round up the purchase to the nearest amount and tell them just to keep the change
Your defination of weird is misplaced. When you go to a different country , of course the way they do things are different. But thats not weird. You may drive on the right instead of left or use KM instead of miles, or have Arabic or chinese characters as road signs, or cashless mode of payments, but thats not weird. Its just different from you.
😂 sorry to hear that, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly locals, we would be honoured to help you out from this predicament and make your stay here more memorable and pleasant as much or even more then you’d know 🤗🤗
No.4 - even as a Malaysian we carry our ID (NRIC) where ever we go, without that you could charges as illegal immigrant... and the procedure to get out are really waste a time, better prepare than having troublesome.
Hey Skye Hope you're enjoying your travels, Beaded seat covers were a huge thing in the 80s/90s in UK I remember having one (whoops showing my age now) But big drawback was they used to catch hairs at the back of your legs if wearing shorts (Not that you'd have that problem 🤣) They were supposed to have a massaging effect.
LAH..since this word already practise by mostly chinese in Malaysia..some they said no lah..ok lah and lately this became habbits or culture by some chinese and indian when they spoke with their Malay friends..but mostly Malay we not really practise this words lah..and for nasi lemak basically we serve with very small portion of rice and some boiled egg.sambal.cucumber.anchovies or we call nasi lemak kampong selling 50cent or rm1..this is the original portion of breakfast for long years ago but now everything has changed for some reason..however small or big portion is depending on person or demanad by customers..
Ha ha ha , This Is What Make Malaysia So Different From Other Country. And We Malaysian Are Always Being Describe As Language Genius . Because I Should Said All Malaysian Can Speak Atleast 3 to 4 Languages. Malaysia Boleh......👍👍👍😁😁
If u go 2 any foreign country, u don't expect everything have 2 suite to yur own taste n likes...Malaysia is situated in equator...u must understand that. I think if I go to yur country I'm sure there's hundreds of strange environment, might be food, peoples, culture and many others....so when foreign people start making all sorts of comparison between Malaysia and yur own country...I think u should look at other countries....might be AFRICA, INDIA , CARIBBEAN.
Lah is actually part of the Malay language....it more of beautified the sound thus was incorporated into our daily conversation of the Chinese and Malay and English speech....
2:15 here in penang it's common to have nasi kandar for breakfast. having nasi kandar at 4, 5 and 6am is not uncommon as there are shops that opens at wee hours and cater to certain kind of crowd. some Malaysians tend to eat at whatever hours they feel like eating, both light and heavy food.
9: Beaded seat cover is something we used since the 70s. Malaysia's hot climate means we sweat a lot. The beads provide a layer that separates our sweaty backs from the seat fabric. So the sweat won't stain the fabrics as much. Sure, we have airconditioning cars now, but you still sweat from outside going inside. I'm not sure about the acupuncture or massage-like benefits that many people claim, though.
Lah means just to make your sentence feel subtle and warm.. Boss is a new trendy to call or greet someone as to respect him/her amicably.. You have to carry your passport same as us the local carrying our IC wherever you go is for own safety...in case anything happens it's easier to refer to.. The squatting toilet is a traditional and it's many health benefits.. 24hrs mamaks is for people who work round the clock especially those working on shifts..also for football supporters who like to hangout together watching live match from overseas.. ✌️😎🇲🇾
The word 'lah'(malay) is juz an instantaneous exclaimation!(lah). The word is also part of the spoken dialetic clans of the chinese, indians+ many other tribes/ aborigines of M'sia( East & West). Its a 'cultured~trademark' to a friendly, & verbal communication that we do speak English in our M'sian way-lah(!)...I presumed, its like an accentuated~ slang..(Canadian;[Quebecois & Newfoundland,...] American;[ Texa, Red Indians,& Aloha... ] British; [ eg.Scottish, Irish,...] Indies, [West&East], egBermuda; Jamaican Trinidad &Tobago, Haitian.] South Africa, & Oceania; Australian, NZ, Fijian & Papuan. So..have you ki da catch my drift😊❤😮
GOOD for your health Bfast like a king - energy for start up the day after a light dinner.. Lunch like average people - energy for the half-day Dinner like a slave - not so much energy needed during sleep otherwise extra energy will accumulate as fat tummy lah...😅
1. Toilet 2 different shape one is squat one you can sit. So people have choices. Mostly Toilet you can sit. In Spain italy and other Europe u can see squat Toilet also.many . Its culture 2.LAH! Doesn't make any sense. Just a local thing. Example in Ireland some county they say ok Like , so big like, nice like like after any word. I believe happen to many country. The more you travel u will see how this world so different and interesting 3.BOSS again sign of respect friendly casual it's a local thing 4.malaysia big population in kl only probably 4 millions. People working different time. Life style different. So people have oppunity to eat anytime suit them again everybody is different 5.not very sure. Maybe just thier law 6.again kl 24hours City. People need different. I think good idea easy to get any foods. Also u can foods in 5 star hotel 24 hours no problem 6. Grab no chance a bit yes weird 🤣 7.burping accepting, farthing not really. You should say sorry if u farthing in Asia.opposite to Europe I think because burping not smelly and farthing smelly🤣🤣🤣. Again it's culture thing 8. bearded cover functioning massaging your back especially long drive. 9.floor number is Chinese thing. They believe some no bring luck some bad luck. Especially if the building on by Chinese people. U will see this in many Chinese country
BURPING..only for some person with no good behaviour or respect to kthers people..but in MALAY culture if you are burping in public without cover anything or said sorry is consider you are no manners person..
I'll feel at home with Lah, I'm scouse people say La at the end of sentences haha. Same with boss 😂 Dunno how I'm gonna get on with the Squat toilets 🙃 I have terrible knees haha
Having an international driving licence/passport with you is more for security purposes. In case (God forbid) you have a fatal accident, how would other people identify you. I guess not just in Malaysia, can be anywhere else.
Big meals for breakfast dates back to our agricultural and mining background. People would eat large meals before going out for hard physical work. Being mostly poor, they only had that 1 meal until about 4 pm when they would have their tea breaks or straight for dinner at about 6 pm. "Lah" is just an expressive sound we use to enhance a sentence. Our local police just like to harass foreigners hoping to make a few bucks. Pre-pandemic almost all mamaks open 24 hours and many other restaurants that open to dawn. Grab drivers mostly get paid in credit and therefore we have little to no change for large notes. Also to avoid from robberies. Others are just a-holes. Floor numbers: superstition with the number 4. In Chinese 4 is also the word for death. So 4s are replaced by 3A and 13 by 12A or something similar.
Burping is not considered rude. Farting on the other hand is more taboo. Those grab drivers n food delivery are just taking advantage by saying they have no change, i cld be wrong. Squat toilets are more healthy physiologically but they’re becoming less popular in malaysian homes. The lift numbers are a result of superstitions of both west n the east..
Bercakap macam katak bawah tempurung... kalau semua ko nak samakan dengan Negara ko Uk baik ko duduk UK tu tak payahlah datang Malaysia 😂😂😂 betul orang cakap mat Salleh ni bukan cerdik sangat pun
The numbering of floor levels, buildings and houses is related to the belief in Feng Shui, particularly by the chinese. Google this. One of the beliefs/ superstition/ taboo is on the number 4 which means death, the opposite of good fortune. Housing developers are predominantly Chinese in Msia, therefore, it is just a real estate practice to avoid using the number 4. It could mean bad luck, u may not get sales, rentals or good fortune. Thus the use of 3A instead of 4, or 13A, instead of 14.
People here only say sorry if they farts! hahaha coz fart is considered very rude here but not for burping. and about the floor... Chinese are very particular with number 4 coz its means "die" in their language (correct me if im wrong) so they named the floor as 3A instead of 4. ;-)
So clearly you haven't been to China and Japan 😆 I refuse. Burping is rude in some countries and others is understood as a physiological thing and considered normal. As in America is OK if you say excuse me, I'm from Brazil is rude period and should not do it in front of others at all, not even your family.
its ok la,if you like you eat big one la,you want to keep yourself healthy you eat little bit la,We Malaysian we like to eat la,am,pm no diffrentla,that why some KFC and MC donald outlet 2hrs la,lol..diffrent country difrent culturela..
Nasihat untuk pemandu Grab Malaysia tolong jangan bagi alasan tak ada duit tukar..jaga lah sikit..jangan buat perangai macam teksi indonesia tak ada duit kembali..hari² daoat duit banyak pun masih lagi tak boleh nak sediakan duit tukar..
Bos is a term of respect... bring the other person to your own level... this like democratises the staff - customer relations... staff is no lower than the paying customer.... if thatt makes sense... it removes the entitlement of the customer.... Burping is like full, satisfied... hehe but its not okay to fart.... is farting okay to you?
Yes, some r indeed bizzare. But I also don't understand why building owner (I think Malaysian Chinese) like to replace a certain sequence of number to A n B. If I'm not mistaken, a certain numbers translated into Chinese dialect n belief, means bad luck, n I'm not sure whether it's superstition or a traditional belief. Hope u have a Malaysian Chinese fren to explain this.
There are more savoury heavy breakfast in Malaysia. Fried flat glass noodle,pan mee,curry laksa. Pan mee is basically like pasta and sometimes serves either on soup or dry. Hope you’ve try it all out already😃
As a Malaysian, I think burping out loud is rude even for me. it's okay if there's no one around but publicly or in front of customers like you said, it is not appropriate.
about the floor numbers, actually most of the big developers in Malaysia is Chinese... so its related with their feng shui when its come to numbers... that's why sometime u will find there is floor number 4 and then 4A with a missing floor number 5 because they have replaced the floor number 5 with floor number 4A... its all about Chinese feng shui...
Burping is just "ok lah" in Malaysia (but not farting)😂. It's neither rude nor good. If someone burp, Malaysian mostly will just ignore it. People just burp wherever they're.. in the classroom, workplace or even public space. Moreover, if they're Malay/Muslim they will say "alhamdulillah" means thank God/grateful to the God. It even shows that you're full and grateful for the food. 👍🏼
People calling Boss because to show respect to each other no matter what type your job. If you in restaurant, you can call waiter "boss" or if you want eat Ramly burger, you can call the owner "boss" but sometime in different situation, If you meet the oldest people you can call uncle or auntie. For young people you can call "adik" for boy or girl.😀
Beaded the seat is for you to feel comfortable when you drive but usually they put cushion on their seat especially for old people when they drive. For those who have more budget and very nice looking car, they will change to racing seat.

Heavy breakfast : Malaysia (Malaya or Malay Peninsula what it was called prior to the 60s) wasn't a rich country in the past, local are either paddy planters, fishermen, rubber tappers, tin miners and other really labourous workers. They have to take heavy breakfast (rice cooked with casava/tapioca and some local veggies and a little protein if they're lucky) because they need the energy to work under the sun for a long time down to lunch time (maybe a short drink of coffee in the mid-morning). Despite that they are usually skinny but still very strong. Heavy carb-laden breakfast was a necessity back then and life wasn't as easy.
Yes true and agree
Heavy breakfast, so share yours with others and split the bill for greater savings and less spending economically.
Not just in Malaya/Malaysia. All throughout South East Asia. 😁💪🌈
The description is true.. It becomes a culture to eat a heavy meal in the morning..

interesting thing is, i've come across squat toilets in France in more rural areas. There are several reasons for them, one of which is actually hygiene as it stops skin contact with any surface especially in an area where sanitation might not be the best practice.
I even found a squat toilet in the US at Monticello, Michigan...
There lots of squat toilets in Japan
Yeah that's right, especially those who 'penggeli'
If you need to go and do your thing in the middle of nowhere like while your in the forest hunting or fishing or hiking then you need to squat in the bushes..😂🙊💩🐝
Actually squat toilets prevent haemorrhoids although it is rather uncomfortable to use
"lah" is basically an amplifier of the emotional component of your statement. "lah" will usually signal what you are implying without saying much with words.
Also.. Burping is not really a faux pas in East Asia, i think. 🤔 Unless they're burping while talking to you, i think most won't say much about it. If i may add.. Farting tho is considered quite rude and (in some places) not to joke about. Why is this relevant? I donno, just popped into my head and thought I would mention it 😂
We Malaysia people 👉 RESPECT EACH OTHER 👍👍👍
Always 👏🏻💛

Hahaha...a grab driver is usually a part timer driver...i mean they have a permanent job but they just do it anytime they want for extra cash or money...they are not a taxi driver 🤭🤭...for the passport issue while driving, i think that's a common even for local..for a local, the police officer usually ask for our driving license along with our identification card...the burping issue, actually they kind of weird for me too...never happen to me ever (unless around family or close friend 🤣)...
burp if just one time its ok, but if continuous many time its annoying😅😅
Ahhh thank you for sharing 🤪💛
police officer want to make sure that your are illegal foreigner or not. same as for the local people, police asked for identification card to make sure we are illegall local malays/ chinese/ indians .
Enjoyed your video and your candid comments about Malaysia. By now you should realize that "excuse me" is not in our vocabulary (never taught in schools or at home) but instead we use "boss", "uncle" and "auntie" out of respect for calling someone we do not know but who is older or special, example providing an important service. LAH is for informal communication, usually added to end a sentence. Saying a sentence without LAH sound as if you are making a statement, which sounds rude. Adding a LAH implies to inform you/get your agreement politely. For example, "saya makan" is making a statement that I am eating, period. "Saya makan, lah", means to let you know politely, i am eating as we speak. In Canada, the word "eh" is added to the end of a sentence for a similar purpose. Other countries have theirs.
Hi Skye, u do nee to keep ur passport with u at all times as a means of verifying ur identity. For us locals, we always always have to have our identity card with us failing which we will be fined. That's the law. :)
Think of 'Lah' in Malay as 'Ey' in Canada, or just another "okay". It's just a casual sentence ender.
Squat toilets are pretty common in Asian countries, and some Middle Eastern countries as far as I know. It's considered "cleaner" than seated toilets as you're not sharing your bare bum with someone else or touching your bare bum on a surface. It's also harder to install the kind of plumbing required for seated toilets in the more rural areas of Malaysia.
The "big breakfast" is more to do with the fact that rather than eating a separate kind of meal in the morning, you just eat the previous day's dinner in order to avoid waste. It's also a hold over from the not so distant past where people did a lot of manual labour day to day so a hearty breakfast to hold them over was better than a bowl of cereal or a smoothie (I sometimes still eat a big bowl of noodles or rice and curry from last night for breakfast if I have a big day planned).
I'm a UK-Asian and grew up in Brunei/Malaysia as a child and still have family there, and I agree that some of the customs can be a little odd to anyone who hasn't visited that part of the world before. One of the reasons I really want to bring my friends there as it really is another world.
LAH context tips :
A. Standard writing context : To emphasise the a word that combine with it.
B. Common spoken context (comes with various intonations) :
1. Laaa~ (elongated ‘aaa’ sometimes with ups & downs like wavy lines showcase intention of begging just like “pleaseeee” )
2. Lahh!! (Stressed H letters exhale from throat showcase anger emotion)
3. Laaa- (flat & deeper elongated ‘aaa’ showcase disappointment)
4. Lah (solid ‘lah’ showcase intention to emphasise a statement just like “yeah that’s it”, emphasise an instruction like “just like that/this” connotation or emphasis the spoken word before”
5. Lah! (Sharp & short ‘lah’ indicate annoyed or irritated emotions)
Well explained. 👍

Correct lah what you said😂
I think Boss means respecting them higher than themselves.
Ahhh, thank you! 🙌🏻
Naah... It had been 'made famous' just quite recently in 2015 esp., when Malaysia's ex-PM Najib Razak, was being probed on the infamous '1mdb' case.
His followers wld say, "malu apa, Bossku?" (ie. what is there to shame, my Boss?). 😬🙄 So, people found that 'funny' (weird); & started to use/'throw around' that word 'boss' to anybody they need help from.
@@norzainimohd-zain1325 nope.. i'm already using 'boss' to chineese shopkeeper since middle 80's.. its only to chineese. And they called their customers also 'boss' at that time until today.
Customers are king/boss 🤣

Hi skye!
Actually a squatting toilet is most natural way for human being to do business. In this position, one specific muscle down there which looping our large bower in its relax state, thus less obstruction for doing business. Nowadays, people can use the sitting toilet also can mimick the squatting one by stepping on a small stool chair for same purpose. Hope this clear why does it exist here.
One more thing in Malaysia, have you seen any bikers (especially small bikes) ther wear a jacket d other way round?
Enjoy your stay here and thank you!
The burp thing is unfortunate. Not everyone does it but those who do tend to do it VERY loudly. It annoys the hell out of me and I'm Malaysian 🤣
You burp when you have had a nice big meal. As a Muslim you say 'alhamdulillah' after burping which means 'praise be to God'. Burping means you are satisfied with your food. Your cook (wife/mom or whoever it might be) will love to hear you burp.
What we Malaysian try to hide is farting. It is considered bad manners to fart in public.
@@MrQalamQabut In human bodu there are 2 way of releasin gas from your body, witch one is annoying things that came out from your but or from your mouth?
@@AbdulHanimMusa
Of course I'll get annoyed if the gas if from YOUR butt...
What the police meant regarding the passport was to keep it handy so that it shows that you have entered Malaysia legally or illegally if you dont have it with you whenever they doing inspections.
Fyi, we are experiencing high rate of illegal immigrants or foreigners entering into our country.
The lack of the #4 is a superstitious thing…the number 4 in Cantonese is Sei (pronounced like say) and it sounds and is spelt like the word death or die in Cantonese which is séi. So it’s considered rather ominous to have death or die associated with yourself - in Bahasa or the Malay language, this would be considered “pantang” (pronounced like “puntung”) which essentially means it’s taboo or superstitious. So the floors will be like 1, 2, 3, 3A, 5 etc and 12, 13, 13A, 15 etc
i prefer squat toilet as i don't like my bum to touch what's left from the previous users. 'lah' is for confirmation or persuasion. example, A: let's go out. B: no, i'm busy. A: come on lah (persuasion), it will be fun. B: ok lah(confirmation), let's go.
Okay. I am going to try my best answering these 3 things:
1) LAH
This word is an additional to certain things normally to express importance of other words such as, instead of just saying "Come On", we could also say "Come On Lah".
2) BOSS
This word is quite new. In my old days we never use this word. The word Boss just means that we want to show some respect to other people by calling them "Boss" no matter what the gender or age are.
3) FLOORS
Some buildings mostly owned by Chinese they have renamed certain floor such as the 4th floor becomes 3A mainly because Chinese doesn't like the number 4. Some floors are missing maybe because they want that floor to be "private place". I am not really sure about this one, I'm just guessing it.
I hope this will answer some of your confusion 😁
About the floor numbers, the only one that I know of is 3A and it is like that because the number 4 sounds like death/die in Chinese and is considered an unlucky number. But I still don't know why the floors jump from like 5 to 20 even though I'm Malaysian 😅😅😅
Oh really!? 😳
@@SkyeSamuels Yea, the number 4 四(Sì) sounds like die 死(Sǐ) as they have similar pronounciations but different tones, and other floors such as 14, 24 are also replaced with 13A, 23A etc.
Don't know why 'they' wld want to continue some superstition. Really wonder if China number their floors like those 'old folks tradition' here over there!.. - with the head honcho/Mother of the chinese are/were right there smack in China.
😅 🤔 Was in Beijing more than 10 years ago, couldn't recall. Guess they (China) themselves don't believe in their Own old folks' tale, & that's why I might not notice/realized their elevator floors numbering system.
Come to think of it, I don't remember the no. 4 was being replaced!... 🤠
There must be another separated lift for 6th floor to 19th floor... Not for common user..
Just to add to the explanation given on the floor 3A issue. Yes number 4 pronounce in Chinese sound like death. So as a developer or the building owner, they avoid naming the floor with number 4 as it will make it difficult for them to sell the unit on this floor as chinese will avoid buying or renting it. Certain place will avoid floor 13 as some people are superstitious with the number 13.
Wallahuaklam
u need to live in malaysia at least 1 year to know more weird things in malaysia including the political things
The huge floor number jump is due to another premises in the same building that is not connected with that particular elevator and have their own elevator. For example level 1-5 is the parking garage, level 20-50 are the residential (apartments) floors so that means 6-19 floors are either offices or mall that is technically in the same building but it's not connected with the same elevator as the residential for security purposes. Because in Malaysia, it's pretty common to have a building where the lower levels are malls and then the apartments above it. Usually in this type of building, there are separate entrances/lobby for the residential with their own security. So basically, it's apartment & commercial spaces under one roof but not connected and have separate entrances & security
That's true...
in some tall buildings there are usually no floors 4, 13, and 14 because it is considered unlucky in Chinese belief. The building owner will replace level four to 3A or level 13 to 12A... for example
Ahhh! Thank you! 👏🏻
13 is a Western superstition, not a Chinese one. "The Last Supper", rings a bell?
Nailed it
You're funny lah..Skye 🤭

Regarding eating big breakfast, it is probably following the proverb, "eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch lika a prince and eat dinner like a pauper"? 24 hour restorants are for those who like to have late dinner or supper or for those who work late night shifts? Cheers
Ahhhh! Thanks for sharing 😀
Zombies eats human brains.. lucky for you, you're safe
So truly findings by yourself here in Malaysia. We believe that 'burping' in low sound is a sound to result a positive sign for what we eat / drink almost daily. Due to too often some people burping make him / her not realize who was nearby. Hahahaha 😂.
LAH is an additional some words to show deeper expression. Most TH-camrs from abroad like UK / US / Japan / South Korea who stays longer in Malaysia had explained about it. Most of us also do pay grab drivers via online transfer or we provide exact amount. That is why they're not ready to provide its exchange but some still can provide it.
Anyhow, may you keep enjoying with happiness in Malaysia for foods, cultures, shopping stores / malls, transportation, people & hospitality, weather, beaches, islands & nature 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😘😘😘🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Burping is natural and sometimes shows that you appreciate the food you ate; however in Malaysia farting is considered rude behaviour and farts loudly in public places tantamount anger near you
Driving - for Malaysian we need to have both, Identity Card (or I.C) & driving license.. so similar to foreigners who's going to drive in Malaysia, Passport (equal to Malaysia I.C) & international driving license.
Payment - Nowdays we rarely using cash to pay anything. Either using card (debit/credit) or using touch&go or boost or DuitNow any other electronics payment. Even myself, i rarely have big cash in my wallet, just below RM20 usually.
Normally in Malaysia we go for cashless now if we were taking grab car or doing online shopping...In the event where we need to use the cash payment option..it is either preparing the exact amount of cash tht you need to pay or I personally will just round up the purchase to the nearest amount and tell them just to keep the change
We mlaysians mostly use "lah" in daily informal conversations. Nobody knows what "lah" exactly means..hahaha..
It is one most functional in Malay.
Your defination of weird is misplaced. When you go to a different country , of course the way they do things are different. But thats not weird. You may drive on the right instead of left or use KM instead of miles, or have Arabic or chinese characters as road signs, or cashless mode of payments, but thats not weird. Its just different from you.
I am here 5 days and am totally confused. And I've been everywhere in Southeast Asia for the past 7 months... wow, my mind is tilting

No.4 - even as a Malaysian we carry our ID (NRIC) where ever we go, without that you could charges as illegal immigrant... and the procedure to get out are really waste a time, better prepare than having troublesome.
Hey Skye
Hope you're enjoying your travels,
Beaded seat covers were a huge thing in the 80s/90s in UK I remember having one (whoops showing my age now)
But big drawback was they used to catch hairs at the back of your legs if wearing shorts (Not that you'd have that problem 🤣)
They were supposed to have a massaging effect.
LAH..since this word already practise by mostly chinese in Malaysia..some they said no lah..ok lah and lately this became habbits or culture by some chinese and indian when they spoke with their Malay friends..but mostly Malay we not really practise this words lah..and for nasi lemak basically we serve with very small portion of rice and some boiled egg.sambal.cucumber.anchovies or we call nasi lemak kampong selling 50cent or rm1..this is the original portion of breakfast for long years ago but now everything has changed for some reason..however small or big portion is depending on person or demanad by customers..
I am a malay, i use lah all the time so do all malays that i know! It is just a m'sian n s'porean habit.
Bad habits are like a comfortable bed. Easy to get into but hard to get out of.
Okay now I know why people tend to stick to their bad habits even after being told off 😂😂
Ha ha ha , This Is What Make Malaysia So Different From Other Country. And We Malaysian Are Always Being Describe As Language Genius . Because I Should Said All Malaysian Can Speak Atleast 3 to 4 Languages. Malaysia Boleh......👍👍👍😁😁
If u go 2 any foreign country, u don't expect everything have 2 suite to yur own taste n likes...Malaysia is situated in equator...u must understand that. I think if I go to yur country I'm sure there's hundreds of strange environment, might be food, peoples, culture and many others....so when foreign people start making all sorts of comparison between Malaysia and yur own country...I think u should look at other countries....might be AFRICA, INDIA , CARIBBEAN.
Burp and fart are natural way of body releassing Air or gas from top or bottom of our body, will anyone fart and said excuse me to people around 🤣🤣🤣
Lah is actually part of the Malay language....it more of beautified the sound thus was incorporated into our daily conversation of the Chinese and Malay and English speech....
And meh,.mah...is Chinese...
It's like Malay...ia ke?..Chinese..."hi meh"...English..
Is it?
Imagine this conversation when doing jigsaw puzzle together...
This one goes here, issit?
You think so meh?
Ya lor!
OK lah
Lah is from Chinese mandarin (啦),
it is a modal particle (语气助词)
There is no lah in mandarin...it's a Malay...
@@stevenyap6206 if you dont know mandarin, don't simply comment 'no lah in mandarin', please go and search chinese dictionary, what is 啦
'lah' is equal version of Brit's 'innit'
Right 🤣👏🏻 thanks!
just like Canadian too, with their ‘eh’ .. “lah”doesn’t mean anything 😂 just something we malaysian put at the end to complete a sentence 🤣
@@rudyshots yes exactly. And i think Singaporean use 'leh'. 😁
@@anashassan2476 ohh don’t forget “mah” .. “meh” too..🤣
24hour restaurants/eatery's was started to cater for people who work odd/shift hours/travellers
2:15 here in penang it's common to have nasi kandar for breakfast. having nasi kandar at 4, 5 and 6am is not uncommon as there are shops that opens at wee hours and cater to certain kind of crowd. some Malaysians tend to eat at whatever hours they feel like eating, both light and heavy food.
9: Beaded seat cover is something we used since the 70s. Malaysia's hot climate means we sweat a lot. The beads provide a layer that separates our sweaty backs from the seat fabric. So the sweat won't stain the fabrics as much. Sure, we have airconditioning cars now, but you still sweat from outside going inside.
I'm not sure about the acupuncture or massage-like benefits that many people claim, though.
Mashallah beautiful Malaysia friendly ❤️ traditional food dressing hijjabi 👍 I like it
Lah means just to make your sentence feel subtle and warm..
Boss is a new trendy to call or greet someone as to respect him/her amicably..
You have to carry your passport same as us the local carrying our IC wherever you go is for own safety...in case anything happens it's easier to refer to..
The squatting toilet is a traditional and it's many health benefits..
24hrs mamaks is for people who work round the clock especially those working on shifts..also for football supporters who like to hangout together watching live match from overseas..
✌️😎🇲🇾
Yes Malaysia is true Asia 👌 Malaysia
The word 'lah'(malay) is juz an instantaneous exclaimation!(lah). The word is also part of the spoken dialetic clans of the chinese, indians+ many other tribes/ aborigines of M'sia( East & West). Its a 'cultured~trademark' to a friendly, & verbal communication that we do speak English in our M'sian way-lah(!)...I presumed, its like an accentuated~ slang..(Canadian;[Quebecois & Newfoundland,...] American;[ Texa, Red Indians,& Aloha... ] British; [ eg.Scottish, Irish,...] Indies, [West&East], egBermuda; Jamaican Trinidad &Tobago, Haitian.] South Africa, & Oceania; Australian, NZ, Fijian & Papuan. So..have you ki da catch my drift😊❤😮
Lah or La actually from the Malay word yelah or yer lah..
Similar to a new version of a modern word nowadays "doh" are from the Malay word Bodoh..
burping is just a healthy body function, and nobody's bothered or offended by this, sometimes even farting........!
GOOD for your health
Bfast like a king - energy for start up the day after a light dinner..
Lunch like average people - energy for the half-day
Dinner like a slave - not so much energy needed during sleep otherwise extra energy will accumulate as fat tummy lah...😅
1. Toilet 2 different shape one is squat one you can sit. So people have choices. Mostly Toilet you can sit. In Spain italy and other Europe u can see squat Toilet also.many . Its culture
2.LAH! Doesn't make any sense. Just a local thing. Example in Ireland some county they say ok Like , so big like, nice like like after any word. I believe happen to many country. The more you travel u will see how this world so different and interesting
3.BOSS again sign of respect friendly casual it's a local thing
4.malaysia big population in kl only probably 4 millions. People working different time. Life style different. So people have oppunity to eat anytime suit them again everybody is different
5.not very sure. Maybe just thier law
6.again kl 24hours City. People need different. I think good idea easy to get any foods. Also u can foods in 5 star hotel 24 hours no problem
6. Grab no chance a bit yes weird 🤣
7.burping accepting, farthing not really. You should say sorry if u farthing in Asia.opposite to Europe I think because burping not smelly and farthing smelly🤣🤣🤣. Again it's culture thing
8. bearded cover functioning massaging your back especially long drive.
9.floor number is Chinese thing. They believe some no bring luck some bad luck. Especially if the building on by Chinese people. U will see this in many Chinese country
BURPING..only for some person with no good behaviour or respect to kthers people..but in MALAY culture if you are burping in public without cover anything or said sorry is consider you are no manners person..
I'll feel at home with Lah, I'm scouse people say La at the end of sentences haha. Same with boss 😂 Dunno how I'm gonna get on with the Squat toilets 🙃 I have terrible knees haha
Having an international driving licence/passport with you is more for security purposes. In case (God forbid) you have a fatal accident, how would other people identify you. I guess not just in Malaysia, can be anywhere else.
Big meals for breakfast dates back to our agricultural and mining background. People would eat large meals before going out for hard physical work. Being mostly poor, they only had that 1 meal until about 4 pm when they would have their tea breaks or straight for dinner at about 6 pm.
"Lah" is just an expressive sound we use to enhance a sentence.
Our local police just like to harass foreigners hoping to make a few bucks.
Pre-pandemic almost all mamaks open 24 hours and many other restaurants that open to dawn.
Grab drivers mostly get paid in credit and therefore we have little to no change for large notes. Also to avoid from robberies. Others are just a-holes.
Floor numbers: superstition with the number 4. In Chinese 4 is also the word for death. So 4s are replaced by 3A and 13 by 12A or something similar.
Burping is not considered rude. Farting on the other hand is more taboo. Those grab drivers n food delivery are just taking advantage by saying they have no change, i cld be wrong. Squat toilets are more healthy physiologically but they’re becoming less popular in malaysian homes. The lift numbers are a result of superstitions of both west n the east..
Bercakap macam katak bawah tempurung... kalau semua ko nak samakan dengan Negara ko Uk baik ko duduk UK tu tak payahlah datang Malaysia 😂😂😂 betul orang cakap mat Salleh ni bukan cerdik sangat pun
The numbering of floor levels, buildings and houses is related to the belief in Feng Shui, particularly by the chinese. Google this. One of the beliefs/ superstition/ taboo is on the number 4 which means death, the opposite of good fortune. Housing developers are predominantly Chinese in Msia, therefore, it is just a real estate practice to avoid using the number 4. It could mean bad luck, u may not get sales, rentals or good fortune. Thus the use of 3A instead of 4, or 13A, instead of 14.
Grab Driver or Grab Food Delivery Staff prefer payment by card.......
People here only say sorry if they farts! hahaha coz fart is considered very rude here but not for burping. and about the floor... Chinese are very particular with number 4 coz its means "die" in their language (correct me if im wrong) so they named the floor as 3A instead of 4. ;-)
So clearly you haven't been to China and Japan 😆 I refuse. Burping is rude in some countries and others is understood as a physiological thing and considered normal. As in America is OK if you say excuse me, I'm from Brazil is rude period and should not do it in front of others at all, not even your family.
its ok la,if you like you eat big one la,you want to keep yourself healthy you eat little bit la,We Malaysian we like to eat la,am,pm no diffrentla,that why some KFC and MC donald outlet 2hrs la,lol..diffrent country difrent culturela..

"Lah" no meaning at all. It's just an expression. It's okay. "It's okay lah!"
Bos is a term of respect... bring the other person to your own level... this like democratises the staff - customer relations... staff is no lower than the paying customer.... if thatt makes sense... it removes the entitlement of the customer....
Burping is like full, satisfied... hehe but its not okay to fart.... is farting okay to you?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Happy New Year to u.
Yes, some r indeed bizzare. But I also don't understand why building owner (I think Malaysian Chinese) like to replace a certain sequence of number to A n B. If I'm not mistaken, a certain numbers translated into Chinese dialect n belief, means bad luck, n I'm not sure whether it's superstition or a traditional belief. Hope u have a Malaysian Chinese fren to explain this.

There are more savoury heavy breakfast in Malaysia. Fried flat glass noodle,pan mee,curry laksa. Pan mee is basically like pasta and sometimes serves either on soup or dry. Hope you’ve try it all out already😃
Don't think those are breakfast meals! 😂 Too sour/spicy for the stomach. Not good.
In Japan there are squat toilets at the airports in Tokyo as well as in Osaka. Cultural differences.
As a Malaysian, I think burping out loud is rude even for me. it's okay if there's no one around but publicly or in front of customers like you said, it is not appropriate.
about the floor numbers, actually most of the big developers in Malaysia is Chinese... so its related with their feng shui when its come to numbers... that's why sometime u will find there is floor number 4 and then 4A with a missing floor number 5 because they have replaced the floor number 5 with floor number 4A... its all about Chinese feng shui...
OKAYLAH BOSS 👍🥰🇲🇾
I love to watch your video about 10 amazing things about malaysia not have at UK..
Burping is just "ok lah" in Malaysia (but not farting)😂. It's neither rude nor good. If someone burp, Malaysian mostly will just ignore it. People just burp wherever they're.. in the classroom, workplace or even public space. Moreover, if they're Malay/Muslim they will say "alhamdulillah" means thank God/grateful to the God. It even shows that you're full and grateful for the food. 👍🏼
the Grab driver issue.. i dont agree too.. they doing part of business.. they should have change
not carrying exchange definitely intentional..well ykwim..
I think you better learn bahasa melayu.....lah....
So sorry that where you are from is so backwards. Enjoy Malaysia while you are there. 😁
you only travel around city in malaysia... actually you never experienced the true malaysia
burping is like breathing; nothing to be excited about; no need to say sorry..!
Oh the drivers can make change, its a way for them to "make" more money.
HAHAHHAHA everything LAH🤣🤣
The number 4 in Chinese is said as sai, which means death. So after number 3, it becomes 3A and so forth
Ur boss to urself. Boss is the polite calling some one and shown U are respecting her/him.
People calling Boss because to show respect to each other no matter what type your job. If you in restaurant, you can call waiter "boss" or if you want eat Ramly burger, you can call the owner "boss" but sometime in different situation, If you meet the oldest people you can call uncle or auntie. For young people you can call "adik" for boy or girl.😀
Beaded the seat is for you to feel comfortable when you drive but usually they put cushion on their seat especially for old people when they drive. For those who have more budget and very nice looking car, they will change to racing seat.
