I like Turkey but for me Malaysia wins this competition, there is so much more magic there, and also I would say the food is better. Soon to back there too. Cheers guys.
As a Turk, I would like to say that I would like more Malaysians with whom we share the same religious and cultural values to come and live in my country.
im a Malaysian student in Turkey, staying more than 4 years. unfortunately things i heard before i come to Turkey were beautiful but once i live here they are the opposite not all of them are beautiful. i got treated badly by the system (university, immigration, etc.), suffer severe racism and many more that i ended up got anxiety and depression (had to take medicine + met psychiatric and psychologist). i came with a big smile and im leaving for good in few weeks with a sorrow face. but in my few weeks remaining time i plan to travel around Turkey for my last time, hope i'll find something that could make me smile again and feel like the first time i landed here :)

I'm Malaysian had lived in the UK for about 5 yrs and been to several Western Europe countries and Turkiye once. All I can say is your categorical comments on both countries are fair and I have no reason to think otherwise. As per the question posed on this video I have this opinion: Except for the five daily adzan from many mosques Turkiye is very much similar to other European countries in terms of history, climate, architecture and landscapes, on the other hand Malaysia is very much Asian in those terms, so the slogan "Malaysia is truly Asian." Being a predominantly Muslim country, Malaysia also has the same five daily adzan as Turkiye. So, since the cost of living in the two countries are comparable, for people from four season countries the questions are boiled down to just one, i.e., if you want to experience living in tropical country Malaysia is the obvious choice while Turkiye gives you the experience of living in moderate Muslim country with European atmosphere.
Yes, I agree with everything you said in your comment. Turkey has a more Middle East & European vibe, while Malaysia has the Asian atmosphere. Thanks for watching our video!

I've lived in both countries and generally agree with your review. I would say the food in Malaysia is spicier than in Turkey and Turkish food (fruit, vegetables, breads) tends to be eaten fresh while Malaysian food is well-cooked. I hope the new government makes the MM2H program easier to afford because I'd love to move back!

As a Malaysian who has been to Turkey a few times I totally agree with your assessment. However I also have to admit there is a category not mentioned by you where Turkey wins hands down: historical places. Turkey has a depth and breadth of historical buildings and places from antiquity, through Greek and Roman, right to medieval and recent times - prehistoric, pagan, Christian and Muslim.
Actually Malaysia has a longer history than Turkiye if you research deep enough about the history of SG BATU IN KEDAH(TUA),MOUNT OPHIR,PYRAMIDS ALL OVER THE WORLD,LEMURIA AS WELL AS ATLANTIS(READ STEPHEN OPPENHEIMER'S BOOK!)EVEN THE COMPLETE STORY THE ANNUNAKI!THRS A REASON PTOLEMY CALLED MALAYSIA THE GOLDEN CHERSONESE!DIG IT UP FOLKS..

Wow, I stumbled upon this video as I was thinking about taking a Vacation to Malaysia, and has a layover in Turkey. Great content guys! Really enjoyed!
Both Turkey and Malaysia are great countries to visit! If you are transferring through Istanbul on Turkish Airways and your layover is more than 6 hours, you might be able to go on a free tour during the layover.
I’ve just come back from a holiday in Malaysia and it was heaven! Spend some time in langkawi if you go as well as kl. we had the most relaxing time there 💞 I want to immigrate to Malaysia now
As a Turkish,I wanna marry Malaysian guy which seems not easy right now (cuz there is no malaysian around me)but I am really into Malaysian culture.I find myself stepping into a different world hope that I will visit Malaysia soon
We did same. Turkey vs Malaysia video And for us, Malaysia is the best, particularly for Muslim family Nice video ❤ And now we are still living in Malaysia for 3 years. But turkey is our best plan B. It is very nice country also
Malaysia wins hands down. Vegetarians and vegans will be hard pressed to find a vegetarian restaurant in Turkey, whereas in Malaysia they can be found everywhere. Almost everyone speaks English in Malaysia; not so in Turkey. Shopping is a pleasure in Malaysia with its ultra modern malls. Malaysia is a food paradise; visitors come from all over the world just to sample its cuisine. Turkey’s food is just meat, meat and more meat. The climate in Malaysia is not much of a problem, as most buildings and public transport are fully air conditioned. What more do you want ? Visit Malaysia- you will fall in love with it.😊
@@Blaze6432 Being a Vegan is challenging anywhere, if you know what you can and cannot consume, it's not impossible to find what you need in Malaysia. It's simply a matter of asking around and finding what you need.
You dont have an idea about Turkish cuisine..If you want to learn, check the mediterranean and aegean cuisine.Generally, tourists like the oriental things in Turkey (such as doner kebab, baklava,Turkish delight). The whole world thinks that Turkish cuisine is limited to these.
I spend a lot of time in Malaysia ,by far my favourite destination in South East Asia. It is hassle free, safe,very affordable and comfortable to travel and live there. Turkey is my favourite in Europe for food, history,friendly people . If you say the cost of living is about the same in both countries , I would like to spend more time in Turkey.
I have the opportunity to visit Turkey few years back. Istanbul is the most beautiful city I have ever visited. People are friendly particularly towards Malaysians. There are Malaysian and Indonesian restaurants as well but not that many. I am close to my retirement age now unfortunately I am just comfortable where I am now with family, friends and neighbours nearby.
Instead of MM2H, you guys can apply our new programme call Digital Nomads Visa, which is valid up to 2 years of stay in Malaysia...the requirements is way easier than MM2H programme... looking forward to see u guys back here in my beloved country, Malaysia Truly Asia... happy new Year !!! C ya
@@snailtravelers How about religion tolerance? Which country is better? I have zero knowledge about anything that has to do with Turkey and I thank you for your fine video. I just read few minutes ago that Malacca wants to ban wearing bikini on beach and Kedah wants total ban on number forecasting game following implementation in Kelantan and Trengganu.
Malaysia has more religious diversity because there are Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, etc. Turkey is mostly Muslims but some don't seem to follow the religion too strongly, and the Turkish people seem to be very tolerant of foreigners who are non-Muslims.
@@snailtravelers This is where Turkey has the advantage over Malaysia. People who wants to permanently stay in your country appreciate high level of tolerance and neutrality when it comes to religion. Thanks for the insight.
4:40 a malaysian here 😁. we have lots of family run stores too, but they are mostly located at communities/areas where the local lives, where tourists rarely get to explore. 4:58 as for driving etiquette ... i TOTALLY agree. there is a huge room for improvement in this category. ha!
That's good to know that there are family owned stores in Malaysia. We prefer to shop and support families instead of big companies. Thanks for watching our video!
This video of your reviews and editing are brilliant. Hoping the best for you and family whether it is in either Turkiyë, Malaysia or anywhere comfortable!
From Kuala Lumpur here. I lived in Turkey for 2 years. I got no problem with the ppl. You just need to adapt the culture with locals and know when to have fun. I find Turkish are more dramatic especially the girls rather than us here Malaysian.
I love Malaysia because i love the tropical weather, love the rain forest and also the people.Love Turkey for it’s beautiful monuments and gorgeous delicious healthy food
I know what you mean about your stomachs getting excited thinking about food in Malaysia. Great video as always. Looking forward to new ones from M'sia.
Happy 2023!! I'm Malaysian living in the US for most of my adult life. I learned how to drive in Malaysia but boy am I terrified to drive there now, especially in big cities like KL.
The massive earthquake that just struck Turkey and destroyed countless of high rise buildings are real scary. Condolences to the people of Turkey for this great loss. Malaysia is still the preferred place to stay.
We are actually traveling now and not in Turkey. Fortunately our city (Izmir) is far away from the location of the earthquake. Thank you again for thinking about us.
@@snailtravelers The epicentre of the quake is located at the Turkish city of Gaziantep at a magnitude of 7.8 and 5 minutes later it was detected in Denmark and 8 minutes later in Greenland located 3,400 miles away so the residents of Izmir would have felt the tremor violently. Which part of the world are you in now?
You really do a wonderful job in your videos of explaining things thoroughly while still moving along quickly enough. You answer all the things we want to know and you have a very pleasing voice too. So glad I found your channel!
Come again and experience our Ramdhan month starting on approx. 23 March 2023 and continue with Eid-Fitri. 2 festive month in the row. Come! It's fascinating. Make sure to experience with the local to get better experience.
We are Malaysians family consist of 5 adults. We have been to Istanbul 3x together and once only the two of us n joined a tour group ! We like Turkey and Istanbul the best bec we can get halal and Mediterranean food everywhere! We appreciate Turkish textile and soap and leather industry . Fruits and vegetables are so much more tasty than ours . Hotels are affordable and eating and shopping are great ! We like products we cannot buy in our country or get cheaper in Turkey. Although we are both Muslims our culture varies a lot ! The very rich culture heritage and it’s sustainable till now is wonderful!
@@snailtravelers Yes very enjoyable and thanks ! We ll go back to Turkey to appreciate their enormous and wonderful landscapes . Their beautiful tulips festival and try more street food . God Willing
Yes, I agree. We are trying to learn Turkish now and it is a difficult language for us. Communication in Malaysia is easier because it's not necessary to learn another language.
I am Malaysian. Turkiye is a great place to visit for Westerners and Easterners alike. People here are very kind hearted, love children and are very respectful to their elders. I brought my aged parents on holiday and the people were so helpful and deferential to my parents especially since they do not walk so well. Istanbul has great infrastructure and is easy to get around. The food is excellent!
local fruits in malaysia are way cheaper (westerners always refer to apples and grapes when talking about fruits, as if there are no other kinds).. when u talk about imported ones ofc 'lah' more expensive in Malaysia. I bet, there are no rambutan, durian, langsat, or manggis in turkey.
Of course MALAYSIA!THE LEMURIA OF OLDEN DAYS!AM NEW YORK BORN & HAS BEEN THE WORLD OVER INCLUDING TURKEY AND LOVES MALAYSIA THE MOST!EVEN KOKOREC HAS SIMILAR TASTE WITH KELANTANESE LEMAE,THOUGH VERY HARD TO FIND NOWADAYS..
Great video! We've been staying in Turkey for 3 years and now consider Malaysia as the next stop. The immigration policy in Turkey has become much stricter over the past two years and the economy hasn't been doing well either - costs for accommodation jumped 3-4 times in popular cities like Istanbul and Antalya so I guess right now Turkey might be significantly more expensive than Malaysia depending on the city. Still, we love Turkey a lot and are very grateful for its hospitality, great people and amazing places.
Thanks, and we completely agree with everything you said in your comment. Inflation in Turkey is horrible, and it can be difficult to watch how it is impacting the Turkish people. And, like you said, the weak economy and the fact that the immigration rules keep getting stricter has us wondering if we'll be forced to leave at some point in the future. We just renewed our permit for two years, so we know we're good to stay for at least the immediate future. Where have you lived in Turkey? Thanks for watching, and good luck with your transition. We have more videos about living in Malaysia on our channel page if you're interested.
@@snailtravelers Wow, congrats on the 2 years living permit renewal! Our 2-year permit expires in October and we're at the crossroad of what to do next: try our luck and apply for renewal or move to Malaysia 🙂 We've been staying in Antalya all this time - love this city for its comfort. Living permits are somewhat of a lottery here though, ha-ha 😄But we also traveled a lot to other parts of Turkey, like Mardin, Ankara, Konya and Istanbul. So yeah, will see :) Love your videos guys, already checked your travels in Malaysia and other countries - keep it up! 👍
@@snailtravelerssorry sir I'm really curious if we live in Turkey if we have to speak Turkish ? And is inflation and the economy of turkey still bad right now? I'm indonesian living in KL I plan to move to Istanbul because I got a job offer there, But I'm still confused because I love living in here. Thanks you sir
@@Vivinovianafebriani Hello. Most Turkish people do not speak or understand any other languages, only Turkish, so it is good to learn some of the language. The situation with inflation has improved but it is still very high, I would guess 40%-50% but that is just a guess Thank you for watching!
Hi glad you’re coming back. I’m actually in Kuching getting approval for MM2H from Sarawak but will be going back to Penang where I originally came from. Hope you’ll come back to Penang soon x
Hey guys! Thanks for watching the video! We enjoy following your adventures around the world too! You guys have so much enthusiasm, and congrats on having such a successful channel. Maybe our travel paths will cross someday. We originally planned to get MM2H in Malaysia. We applied and were just waiting for one more document and then the program shut down. When the program restarted the new financial requirements were too high for us. Sarawak's MM2H is easier but still a bit high for us. That's why we then considered Turkey. We had no plans to buy property in either Malaysia or Turkey. We were going to rent. We had a few places ready to consider for renting in Turkey, then the government changed the immigration rules, making it more difficult to get residency if renting and easier if purchasing. So we started looking at purchasing, found an apartment in Izmir we liked at a reasonable price, and we made the purchase. The immigration rules have since changed again, and now there is a minimum value of US$75,000 if getting residency through property purchase. We're glad we made our purchase before the new rule, otherwise we wouldn't qualify. Also, prices have really gone up in Turkey over the last year, partly because of high inflation and also because a lot of people from Russia have come to Turkey. Prices in some places have more than doubled in one year. We looked into prices in Kuching (loved your Sarawak videos by the way), and prices for property are higher there than Turkey, even with all of the inflation in Turkey. We found a studio in a new building in Kuching was around US$75,000 and up. But I believe foreigners are required to spend at least RM500,000 in Sarawak, and the minimum is even higher elsewhere in Malaysia like RM1,000,000, but I'm not 100% sure about that. It could be difficult to buy property in Turkey without residency because we needed to show our residency permit to set up the electricity, water, internet, etc. There must be a way to do it because people have vacation homes in Turkey without residency, but we don't know how it works. Hope that helps.
@@snailtravelers thanks, guys! We want to start this new adventure of buying a property. Not necessarily for us to live, but mainly for a BnB, where we can also crash whenever we are there. Just trying to see where is the best possible place for us.
The prices in Türkiye have gone up considerably in the last two years. Two years ago a dozen organic eggs were 22 lira, 2 bdrm apartment was 1500-3000 respectively, car rental 4000 for a month, cherries 20 a kilo and now those same eggs are 75 lira a dozen, 9,000-25,000 lira for a 2bdrm apartment, 30,000 to rent a car for the month and 90 lira a kilo for cherries. Everyday things go up.
Yes, completely agree. When we first arrived in Turkey in early 2022 I remember buying apples for 12TL/kg. We bought some today and the price was 40TL/kg. I do hope the inflation problem improves. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We did get our residency permit for Turkey and are making it our new home. We plan to make Turkey our home as long as we are able to keep renewing our permits.
I would definitely choose Malaysia, 100%, but their current visa policy makes it literally impossible to go and live there, even with big savings, and in Malaysia you also have cold weather, in the highlands. (I think a lot of people from China and North America have realized what a good and cheap country Malaysia is and the government has made those visa measures impossible). You can think then go to Philippines Thailand or Indonesia, they have similar conditions, yes but not... In those countries they dont have highlands
Malaysia's strict visa rules is the reason we are living in Turkey instead of Malaysia. Hopefully the change in government will bring more reasonable immigration requirements.
They do hv high allevation places like sapa in Vietnam, or near chiangmai Thailand while in Philippines or Indonesia likely it is a volcano or former volcano like lake toba. Bandung probably is the place with cooler weather in java. Philippines has the rice terrace areas. In Malaysia, our hill stations are well built like Cameron Highlands, genting Highlands, fraser's Hill, penang Hill.
Your good and bad research with Turkey and Malaysia is quite accurate, and we have very good relations now with Turkey. Malaysia is on track to become a developed city by 2025, hopefully we can achieve it because Turkey is ahead of us now.
@@snailtravelers Yes, we hope that our economy continues to improve because the Q2 2022 index shows quite encouraging results, and we hope it continues in 2023.
I would like to visit Istanbul Turkey someday, In syaa Allah... Coz of its history of Sultan Mehmed Fatih & Ertugrul son of Sulaiman Shah, Hagia Sofea etc.. But before that, I must go to Mecca first for Hajj & Umrah, then I can go to Istanbul for vacation... In syaa Allah, Aamiin...
Maybe you could visit both Mecca and Turkey on the same trip, since Mecca is between Malaysia and Turkey. If not, then Turkey would be great to visit sometime in the future after visiting Mecca. Best wishes for your future travels!
Happy New Year 2023 to u guys. Thanks for this wonderful video, which is better, living in Malaysia or Turkey. Look forward to having u guys again in Malaysia this year.
U guys focused on d basics of living, that's what's life is all about. But, it would be interesting to compare d amount of tourist attractions in d country. Every country has its own vibes, charm n beauty. Malaysia has its past, present n future, but i think d past history n civilization in Turkey is far more interesting.
As a Malaysian i'd say our main strength is diversity which makes our country very nice to stay in ... but when it comes to travelling for scenery, historical sites, etc i think Turkey is good. That's why Turkey attracted more travellers
Agree that pedestrian is the last one being considered when constructing new road or highway. And not so friendly for the handicapped person or those pushing baby cart as well.😀
I have been to Bursa & Istanbul, and Istanbul is a beautiful place. The food is more healthy than Malaysia, but our food is more delicious. -from JB south Malaysia
Try to use the power of one hand while you are crossing the road in malaysia, it feels like you have superpower that can control the movement of the cars while doing that
I would love to visit Turkiye one day. I can imagine myself enjoying tea in a cafe in Istanbul while watching my wife going crazy petting all the cats there.😂

p.s. General Health Warning: Use such powers sparingly; excessive usage may result in bodily harm and/or massive traffic jams. 😂😂😂
Ha ha, I love your comment!
This is.funny but true
Only M'sia power of Hands
Powers of hand is the best .
Power of the Hand also works for drivers trying to cut lane :)
Wow, I stumbled upon this video as I was thinking about taking a Vacation to Malaysia, and has a layover in Turkey. Great content guys! Really enjoyed!
Both Turkey and Malaysia are great countries to visit! If you are transferring through Istanbul on Turkish Airways and your layover is more than 6 hours, you might be able to go on a free tour during the layover.
welcome to Malaysia, the truly Asia
Welcome to Malaysia in.advance!
I’ve just come back from a holiday in Malaysia and it was heaven! Spend some time in langkawi if you go as well as kl. we had the most relaxing time there 💞 I want to immigrate to Malaysia now
As a Turkish,I wanna marry Malaysian guy which seems not easy right now (cuz there is no malaysian around me)but I am really into Malaysian culture.I find myself stepping into a different world hope that I will visit Malaysia soon
Go and study in any malaysian universities.. or in Singapore (Malays of Singapore).. get married😅
Best wishes from india
Iam also a international muslim marriage supporter..😇..
I hope I can marry somebody from abroad .insha allah
@@Real_Gigachaddi looks like the only way😂yes, definitely I m gonna do that
That is weird. Westerners (yes you are Westerners in our eyes) don’t usually like Malaysian guys.
@@Lekirius xpelik pun. Diorang pun muslim
We did same. Turkey vs Malaysia video
And for us, Malaysia is the best, particularly for Muslim family
Nice video ❤
And now we are still living in Malaysia for 3 years.
But turkey is our best plan B. It is very nice country also
Thank you! I don't speak or understand the French language, but your videos look very interesting and I have just subscribed to your channel
Malaysia wins hands down. Vegetarians and vegans will be hard pressed to find a vegetarian restaurant in Turkey, whereas in Malaysia they can be found everywhere. Almost everyone speaks English in Malaysia; not so in Turkey. Shopping is a pleasure in Malaysia with its ultra modern malls. Malaysia is a food paradise; visitors come from all over the world just to sample its cuisine. Turkey’s food is just meat, meat and more meat. The climate in Malaysia is not much of a problem, as most buildings and public transport are fully air conditioned. What more do you want ? Visit Malaysia- you will fall in love with it.😊
Good observations, thanks for the comment!
Vegetarians and vegans are not the same. Vegan cuisine is still somewhat challenging in Malaysia.
Lol everywhere? U won find them in malay areas ok. But u foreigners dunno much bcoz u only frequent upscale expensive neighbourhood and touristy area.
@@Blaze6432 Being a Vegan is challenging anywhere, if you know what you can and cannot consume, it's not impossible to find what you need in Malaysia. It's simply a matter of asking around and finding what you need.
You dont have an idea about Turkish cuisine..If you want to learn, check the mediterranean and aegean cuisine.Generally, tourists like the oriental things in Turkey (such as doner kebab, baklava,Turkish delight). The whole world thinks that Turkish cuisine is limited to these.
I spend a lot of time in Malaysia ,by far my favourite destination in South East Asia. It is hassle free, safe,very affordable and comfortable to travel and live there. Turkey is my favourite in Europe for food, history,friendly people . If you say the cost of living is about the same in both countries , I would like to spend more time in Turkey.
Thanks for the comment. It's great that you've been able to visit both countries! Take care and thanks for watching our video.
How about Portugal vs Malaysia
I have the opportunity to visit Turkey few years back. Istanbul is the most beautiful city I have ever visited. People are friendly particularly towards Malaysians. There are Malaysian and Indonesian restaurants as well but not that many. I am close to my retirement age now unfortunately I am just comfortable where I am now with family, friends and neighbours nearby.
I'm glad you had such a great experience visiting Turkey. We have found the people in both Turkey and Malaysia to be extremely welcoming.
I m Malaysian, and I love turkey. Very beautiful with rich history. The only country that I don't mind the long flight to visit.
Instead of MM2H, you guys can apply our new programme call Digital Nomads Visa, which is valid up to 2 years of stay in Malaysia...the requirements is way easier than MM2H programme... looking forward to see u guys back here in my beloved country, Malaysia Truly Asia... happy new Year !!! C ya
Thank you for that information. We are excited to come back to Malaysia this year!
Love my country Malaysia and I love to visit Turkey from time to time as Turkey is beautiful!
Yes I agree. Both Malaysia and Turkey are amazing.
❤️😍
Of course Malaysia because I am a Malaysian 😂❤ from Selangor and Happy New Year 2023 to all.
Thank you, and happy new year!
As a Malaysian I prefer Turkiye. I love Turkish food
@@snailtravelers How about religion tolerance? Which country is better? I have zero knowledge about anything that has to do with Turkey and I thank you for your fine video. I just read few minutes ago that Malacca wants to ban wearing bikini on beach and Kedah wants total ban on number forecasting game following implementation in Kelantan and Trengganu.
Malaysia has more religious diversity because there are Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, etc. Turkey is mostly Muslims but some don't seem to follow the religion too strongly, and the Turkish people seem to be very tolerant of foreigners who are non-Muslims.
@@snailtravelers This is where Turkey has the advantage over Malaysia. People who wants to permanently stay in your country appreciate high level of tolerance and neutrality when it comes to religion. Thanks for the insight.
4:40 a malaysian here 😁. we have lots of family run stores too, but they are mostly located at communities/areas where the local lives, where tourists rarely get to explore.
4:58 as for driving etiquette ... i TOTALLY agree. there is a huge room for improvement in this category. ha!
That's good to know that there are family owned stores in Malaysia. We prefer to shop and support families instead of big companies. Thanks for watching our video!
@@snailtravelers depends where you are, in KL there are definitely malls, but there are tons of family run stores if are looking.
This video of your reviews and editing are brilliant. Hoping the best for you and family whether it is in either Turkiyë, Malaysia or anywhere comfortable!
Thank you for the compliment. Take care and happy new year!
From Kuala Lumpur here. I lived in Turkey for 2 years. I got no problem with the ppl. You just need to adapt the culture with locals and know when to have fun.
I find Turkish are more dramatic especially the girls rather than us here Malaysian.
I love Malaysia because i love the tropical weather, love the rain forest and also the people.Love Turkey for it’s beautiful monuments and gorgeous delicious healthy food
Those are great reasons to enjoy both countries! Thank you for watching our video 🙂
For the traffic in Malaysia, you need to use the power of hand. It stops almost everything, use the power of hand if you want to cross the road.
Ah, yes, we have seen people in Malaysia use their hand to get drivers to allow pedestrians to cross. It seems to be an effective method.
Love the soundtrack when you narrate about driving. As Malaysian I already knew this would have come.
Thank you very much!
😅 Thanks guys, the flatbreads comparisons in the frightening traffic roadhogs categories in both countries cracked me up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know what you mean about your stomachs getting excited thinking about food in Malaysia. Great video as always. Looking forward to new ones from M'sia.
Thanks! We are excited to return to Malaysia in 2023
Happy 2023!! I'm Malaysian living in the US for most of my adult life. I learned how to drive in Malaysia but boy am I terrified to drive there now, especially in big cities like KL.
Yes, I agree. We always used public transportation when getting around in Malaysia for that very reason.
The massive earthquake that just struck Turkey and destroyed countless of high rise buildings are real scary. Condolences to the people of Turkey for this great loss. Malaysia is still the preferred place to stay.
Thank you very much Douglas for your kind words.
@@snailtravelers Are you still in Turkey now? Thank God both of you are safe.
We are actually traveling now and not in Turkey. Fortunately our city (Izmir) is far away from the location of the earthquake. Thank you again for thinking about us.
@@snailtravelers The epicentre of the quake is located at the Turkish city of Gaziantep at a magnitude of 7.8 and 5 minutes later it was detected in Denmark and 8 minutes later in Greenland located 3,400 miles away so the residents of Izmir would have felt the tremor violently. Which part of the world are you in now?
Despite being an actual Malaysian, I do appreciate being given another option besides MY ❤️ Thanks for the detailed video!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching our video.
You really do a wonderful job in your videos of explaining things thoroughly while still moving along quickly enough. You answer all the things we want to know and you have a very pleasing voice too. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much, your comments are very encouraging and this motivates me to continue to make videos. Thanks again!
I am happy when you say you will travel again in Malaysia, we always walcome you ♥️
Thank you for the friendly comment! We are excited to return to Malaysia in 2023.
Come again and experience our Ramdhan month starting on approx. 23 March 2023 and continue with Eid-Fitri. 2 festive month in the row. Come! It's fascinating. Make sure to experience with the local to get better experience.
We are Malaysians family consist of 5 adults. We have been to Istanbul 3x together and once only the two of us n joined a tour group !
We like Turkey and Istanbul the best bec we can get halal and Mediterranean food everywhere! We appreciate Turkish textile and soap and leather industry . Fruits and vegetables are so much more tasty than ours . Hotels are affordable and eating and shopping are great ! We like products we cannot buy in our country or get cheaper in Turkey. Although we are both Muslims our culture varies a lot ! The very rich culture heritage and it’s sustainable till now is wonderful!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm glad your trips to Turkey have been enjoyable and pleasant.
@@snailtravelers
Yes very enjoyable and thanks ! We ll go back to Turkey to appreciate their enormous and wonderful landscapes . Their beautiful tulips festival and try more street food . God Willing
Thank you for the fair comparison. Excellent and no bias👍👍👍. Kerp safe & well
Thanks 👍
Been in Istanbul & Kualalumpur over 10 times. Honestly, the biggest differences i faced in communication category..... KL wins hands down.....
Yes, I agree. We are trying to learn Turkish now and it is a difficult language for us. Communication in Malaysia is easier because it's not necessary to learn another language.
Very well analysed..
Thanks
Thank you!
I'am a Malaysian. I love Turkey. Had been visited Istanbul before Corvid pendamic. Great and very beautiful city.
Yes indeed. We think Istanbul is a fabulous city as well.
I am Malaysian. Turkiye is a great place to visit for Westerners and Easterners alike. People here are very kind hearted, love children and are very respectful to their elders. I brought my aged parents on holiday and the people were so helpful and deferential to my parents especially since they do not walk so well. Istanbul has great infrastructure and is easy to get around. The food is excellent!
This is great information, thank for taking the time to share this!
Turkiye is rich in history while Malaysia is rich in food variety.
Malaysian here. :D
Yes indeed!
Totally agree on the driving etiquette of Malaysian😅! Looking forward to both to be in Malaysia again!
Thank you! We are excited to come back to Malaysia in 2023.
Peninsular Malaysia drivers only...
local fruits in malaysia are way cheaper (westerners always refer to apples and grapes when talking about fruits, as if there are no other kinds).. when u talk about imported ones ofc 'lah' more expensive in Malaysia. I bet, there are no rambutan, durian, langsat, or manggis in turkey.
Thanks for sharing this great video
and very informative..👍✅🇲🇾
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Of course MALAYSIA!THE LEMURIA OF OLDEN DAYS!AM NEW YORK BORN & HAS BEEN THE WORLD OVER INCLUDING TURKEY AND LOVES MALAYSIA THE MOST!EVEN KOKOREC HAS SIMILAR TASTE WITH KELANTANESE LEMAE,THOUGH VERY HARD TO FIND NOWADAYS..
Malaysia , truly Asia . Welcome to my lovely country
Thank you!
as a Malaysian married to turkish man and living in germany....I truly loves malaysia....found a few people outside malaysia who loves my country ❤
That is very good! Thank you.
I am a Malaysian and I love Turkey and the President
Great video! We've been staying in Turkey for 3 years and now consider Malaysia as the next stop. The immigration policy in Turkey has become much stricter over the past two years and the economy hasn't been doing well either - costs for accommodation jumped 3-4 times in popular cities like Istanbul and Antalya so I guess right now Turkey might be significantly more expensive than Malaysia depending on the city. Still, we love Turkey a lot and are very grateful for its hospitality, great people and amazing places.
Thanks, and we completely agree with everything you said in your comment. Inflation in Turkey is horrible, and it can be difficult to watch how it is impacting the Turkish people. And, like you said, the weak economy and the fact that the immigration rules keep getting stricter has us wondering if we'll be forced to leave at some point in the future. We just renewed our permit for two years, so we know we're good to stay for at least the immediate future. Where have you lived in Turkey? Thanks for watching, and good luck with your transition. We have more videos about living in Malaysia on our channel page if you're interested.
@@snailtravelers Wow, congrats on the 2 years living permit renewal! Our 2-year permit expires in October and we're at the crossroad of what to do next: try our luck and apply for renewal or move to Malaysia 🙂 We've been staying in Antalya all this time - love this city for its comfort. Living permits are somewhat of a lottery here though, ha-ha 😄But we also traveled a lot to other parts of Turkey, like Mardin, Ankara, Konya and Istanbul. So yeah, will see :) Love your videos guys, already checked your travels in Malaysia and other countries - keep it up! 👍
@@snailtravelerssorry sir I'm really curious if we live in Turkey if we have to speak Turkish ? And is inflation and the economy of turkey still bad right now? I'm indonesian living in KL I plan to move to Istanbul because I got a job offer there, But I'm still confused because I love living in here. Thanks you sir
@@Vivinovianafebriani Hello. Most Turkish people do not speak or understand any other languages, only Turkish, so it is good to learn some of the language. The situation with inflation has improved but it is still very high, I would guess 40%-50% but that is just a guess Thank you for watching!
Hi glad you’re coming back.
I’m actually in Kuching getting approval for MM2H from Sarawak but will be going back to Penang where I originally came from.
Hope you’ll come back to Penang soon x
Congratulations for getting S-MM2H. And how wonderful to return home to Penang!
Happy New Year. Thanks for sharing - Joe
Happy new year!
Thank you , liked and subbed , I’m currently in KL for three months .

Hey guys! Great video!
I’m wondering about your take on buying property in Malaysia vs. Turkey as foreigners (with no residency). Do you have an idea?
Hey guys! Thanks for watching the video! We enjoy following your adventures around the world too! You guys have so much enthusiasm, and congrats on having such a successful channel. Maybe our travel paths will cross someday.
We originally planned to get MM2H in Malaysia. We applied and were just waiting for one more document and then the program shut down. When the program restarted the new financial requirements were too high for us. Sarawak's MM2H is easier but still a bit high for us. That's why we then considered Turkey.
We had no plans to buy property in either Malaysia or Turkey. We were going to rent. We had a few places ready to consider for renting in Turkey, then the government changed the immigration rules, making it more difficult to get residency if renting and easier if purchasing. So we started looking at purchasing, found an apartment in Izmir we liked at a reasonable price, and we made the purchase. The immigration rules have since changed again, and now there is a minimum value of US$75,000 if getting residency through property purchase. We're glad we made our purchase before the new rule, otherwise we wouldn't qualify. Also, prices have really gone up in Turkey over the last year, partly because of high inflation and also because a lot of people from Russia have come to Turkey. Prices in some places have more than doubled in one year.
We looked into prices in Kuching (loved your Sarawak videos by the way), and prices for property are higher there than Turkey, even with all of the inflation in Turkey. We found a studio in a new building in Kuching was around US$75,000 and up. But I believe foreigners are required to spend at least RM500,000 in Sarawak, and the minimum is even higher elsewhere in Malaysia like RM1,000,000, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
It could be difficult to buy property in Turkey without residency because we needed to show our residency permit to set up the electricity, water, internet, etc. There must be a way to do it because people have vacation homes in Turkey without residency, but we don't know how it works.
Hope that helps.
@@snailtravelers thanks, guys! We want to start this new adventure of buying a property. Not necessarily for us to live, but mainly for a BnB, where we can also crash whenever we are there. Just trying to see where is the best possible place for us.
I have visited both Turkey and Malaysia! I loved food in both COUNTRIES ❤
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the educative video.
Thanks for watching!
We are the masters for mega malls (in malaysia) although the population is tiny.
Stomachs excited as you return to Malaysia 🙃 love that!
Welcome back to Malaysia... I am from Penang.
Thank You!
Thanks for the informative review, happy new year & welcome back to Mall-aysia..
Ha ha, I love the way you spelled "Mall-aysia". Thanks for watching and happy new year!
This is really informative! 🙏 Thank You So Much Snail Travellers! Stay Safe & Stay Healthy! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Glad to hear that you are safe
Thank you very much Vincent for thinking about us!
The prices in Türkiye have gone up considerably in the last two years. Two years ago a dozen organic eggs were 22 lira, 2 bdrm apartment was 1500-3000 respectively, car rental 4000 for a month, cherries 20 a kilo and now those same eggs are 75 lira a dozen, 9,000-25,000 lira for a 2bdrm apartment, 30,000 to rent a car for the month and 90 lira a kilo for cherries. Everyday things go up.
Yes, completely agree. When we first arrived in Turkey in early 2022 I remember buying apples for 12TL/kg. We bought some today and the price was 40TL/kg. I do hope the inflation problem improves. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed this video -- thanks for the great info! Are you still considering living in Turkey on a permanent basis?
Thank you! We did get our residency permit for Turkey and are making it our new home. We plan to make Turkey our home as long as we are able to keep renewing our permits.
Thank you for your overall comments for both countries...turkey is AN AMAZING COUNTRY...
I would definitely choose Malaysia, 100%, but their current visa policy makes it literally impossible to go and live there, even with big savings, and in Malaysia you also have cold weather, in the highlands.
(I think a lot of people from China and North America have realized what a good and cheap country Malaysia is and the government has made those visa measures impossible).
You can think then go to Philippines Thailand or Indonesia, they have similar conditions, yes but not... In those countries they dont have highlands
We just got a new government since 20 th December 2022 and things will be better including visa policy.
@@UncleDougDeli good to hear that, I will check again, and take more information about it, thanks
Malaysia's strict visa rules is the reason we are living in Turkey instead of Malaysia. Hopefully the change in government will bring more reasonable immigration requirements.
They do hv high allevation places like sapa in Vietnam, or near chiangmai Thailand while in Philippines or Indonesia likely it is a volcano or former volcano like lake toba. Bandung probably is the place with cooler weather in java. Philippines has the rice terrace areas. In Malaysia, our hill stations are well built like Cameron Highlands, genting Highlands, fraser's Hill, penang Hill.
Bandung, Malang, Dieng, Bukit Tinggi, Puncak Bogor, the weather in this city is around 12 - 19 Celsius, except at 11.00 - 15.00 around 20 - 28 Celsius
Great topic, I still go back and watch your videos from Mtaylasia
Thank you! We loved making videos during our time in Malaysia and hope you enjoy watching them.
Welcome back guys 😁
Thank you!
We can relate the bad driving. We've been hit by a scooter in Turkey!
Wow, that is horrible, but honestly not surprising. We have seen several scooter drivers nearly hit pedestrians in Turkey.
Great material👍
Your good and bad research with Turkey and Malaysia is quite accurate, and we have very good relations now with Turkey. Malaysia is on track to become a developed city by 2025, hopefully we can achieve it because Turkey is ahead of us now.
Good observation. Turkey's economy has a lot of problems right now while Malaysia's is progressing.
@@snailtravelers Yes, we hope that our economy continues to improve because the Q2 2022 index shows quite encouraging results, and we hope it continues in 2023.
Great video, thank you.
Thank you very much for watching!
I would like to visit Istanbul Turkey someday, In syaa Allah... Coz of its history of Sultan Mehmed Fatih & Ertugrul son of Sulaiman Shah, Hagia Sofea etc.. But before that, I must go to Mecca first for Hajj & Umrah, then I can go to Istanbul for vacation... In syaa Allah, Aamiin...
Maybe you could visit both Mecca and Turkey on the same trip, since Mecca is between Malaysia and Turkey. If not, then Turkey would be great to visit sometime in the future after visiting Mecca. Best wishes for your future travels!
I have similar planning! Insya Allah
Great video guys - down right funny at times! I hope you are both doing well and have a great time in Asia!
Thanks so much! I hope the three of you are doing well.
Been to both, Malaysia wins for me.
No comparison. I find Malaysia cleaner and more modern and more advanced in many ways.
Yes, I agree that Malaysia is definitely more modern. Thanks for watching our video and sharing your thoughts.
Tq from Malaysian here
Okay both Malaysia and Turkey used word "Polis" which is refers to Police. Thank you. 🙂✌️
😃😃😃😃
Malaysia is one stop centre when it comes to food
Happy New Year 2023 to u guys. Thanks for this wonderful video, which is better, living in Malaysia or Turkey. Look forward to having u guys again in Malaysia this year.
U guys probably know this, some basic items incl food n services have increased in prices after d pandemic n lockdown, not so much but noticeable.
U guys focused on d basics of living, that's what's life is all about. But, it would be interesting to compare d amount of tourist attractions in d country. Every country has its own vibes, charm n beauty. Malaysia has its past, present n future, but i think d past history n civilization in Turkey is far more interesting.
Thank you Yasin! Your comments are always very encouraging and helpful. Happy new year!
@@snailtravelers Thank u. 😁
As a Malaysian i'd say our main strength is diversity which makes our country very nice to stay in ... but when it comes to travelling for scenery, historical sites, etc i think Turkey is good. That's why Turkey attracted more travellers
We love the cultural diversity in Malaysia. As you say, it's one of Malaysia's strengths. Thanks for watching our video!
Agree that pedestrian is the last one being considered when constructing new road or highway. And not so friendly for the handicapped person or those pushing baby cart as well.😀
Yes, that is very true. We wish there was better access for pedestrians and people with disabilities.
Another great video....thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Happy new year 🎉🇲🇾.
And happy new year to you as well!
If you hate wet , cold, snowy, soggy , winters.
Malaysia is lovely.
I am Malaysian, been to Turkey and love this country ❤
Would like to come again and visit another part of Turkey, in sha Allah, god willing.
I do hope you get a chance to visit Turkey again! Thanks for watching.
Happy New Year 2023 🥳🇲🇾✌
Happy new year to you too!

Malaysian in Australia here. Can't wait to settle back home in few years time.
You are from a beautiful country, thanks for watching!
I have been to Bursa & Istanbul, and Istanbul is a beautiful place. The food is more healthy than Malaysia, but our food is more delicious.

Thank you for your comment and for watching our video!
Try to use the power of one hand while you are crossing the road in malaysia, it feels like you have superpower that can control the movement of the cars while doing that
Oh yes, we saw people doing this when they were crossing the street in Malaysia. It is a very helpful superpower!
Crossing the street in Malaysia is scary enough but you can use THE HAND to stop the traffic.
We did see people in Malaysia using their hand to get the attention of drivers, it does seem to work. Thanks for watching our video!
Happy new year,2023.
Happy new year!
Thank for the comparison. Well if we are not hot and humid, we will not hv our famous rainforest. Loved by the dinosaurs too.
The rainforest is indeed beautiful (and healthy for the planet too). We hope to visit more rainforest areas when we go back to Malaysia.
I have been to both, Malaysia and Turkiye.
My ratings would be
Malaysia 9/10
Turkiye 6/10
Those ratings seem reasonable. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to visit Turkiye one day. I can imagine myself enjoying tea in a cafe in Istanbul while watching my wife going crazy petting all the cats there.😂
👍 Yes, if your wife loves cats then she will love Turkey!
Love both country ❤️
Tq for the good info
Thanks for watching!
