Is Malaysia SAFE? Insider Travel Tips!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video, I'll duscuss if Malaysia is safe and share insider travel tips on how to navigate Malaysia as a solo Black woman. I'll answer the most asked question I get, "How is solo traveling as a Black woman and is the country safe or racist?" Malaysia is a beautiful country and considered a safe destination for Black American women traveling solo. Like any other country, it's essential to take standard precautions to ensure your safety.
Being Black in Kuala Lumpur can vary from person to person, as experiences can be influenced by factors like individual circumstances, attitudes of local residents, and prevailing cultural norms. Malaysia is a diverse country with a multi-ethnic population and it's important to acknowledge that racism and discrimination can exist anywhere due to stereotypes perpetuated by media or lack of exposure to diverse cultures.
It's important to remember that Kuala Lumpur is a multicultural city, and many residents are open-minded and accepting of people from different backgrounds. Building connections, learning about local customs, and fostering understanding can help improve one's experience as a Black person in Kuala Lumpur. Additionally, staying informed about local resources and support networks can be beneficial.
While Malaysia is known for its diverse and multicultural society, it's always a good idea to research and understand the local customs and culture to have a respectful and enjoyable experience.

![[RAW OPINIONS ✅] Bitter Truth About Malaysia 2024| Street Interviews In Kuala Lumpur](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PAQmAipLNew/mqdefault.jpg)
The diversity of everything in Malaysia has made us the people that we are today. We've been exposed to more than one culture on tv and in real live since we're born and that's made us easier to accept the unfamiliar. A song or tv series for example, can be a hit here no matter if it comes frm as far as Mexico or as close as Thailand. And that's just one element.
Stability in politic & economy, although it's challenging these days, is also a major contributor towards the peace of this country. I believe high street crime rates only exist when people has no way to generate legal income at all and in here, if you are hardworking, the opportunity is vast. Your choice.
And then the rest, like filiality (word?) to our respectives religions too has in a way shaped us into becoming the citizen that we are today. While the western world mostly might look at religion as the source of problems and limitation, here we embrace them, we protect them and we respect each others'. Things might not be perfect at all time, but in this process of trying that we will grow to be a better person and citizen in general.
This is very well stated and appreciated 💕. Diversity is powerful in society and that's a major problem in USA. It fights diversity and we're suffering. There's a peace here that others won't understand until they experience it. All societies have their issues and people we need to watch out for but there's still a sense of peace.
One is definitely shaped by religion with guiding principles. The unity can be felt and seen and obediences is important in maintaining a respectful society. Arrogance and ego aside, we can learn so much from other societies. I pray for continued peace and Blessed to see a different side of the world.
Thank you for this insightful post from which we all can learn. Very much appreciate your helping me understand the Malaysian perspective. ❤️

@@ZubZubi Thank you very much for your kind words and I'm happy to feel the love from Malaysians🥰. It's been a wonderful experience and I'm enjoying meeting locals and living my normal life here. Thank you for watching and sharing 💕.
@@ZubZubi Sorry for the delay I'm just now seeing this message 😁.
Welcome to Malaysia. Personally, I like hearing about foreigners' experiences in Malaysia. I'm a Malaysian. Although I complained a lot about Malaysia, if you give me a choice of being a Malaysian or migrating to another country, I think I will still choose Malaysia. The diversity of races is one of the reasons. We do have our differences in cultures and habits and so many other spectrums but I think it makes us a more accepting people. That's why most of us don't really notice too much if your skin is white or black or yellow. Generally we're more conservative with strangers. But trust me, once we get to know a person well, we could be quite wild too. Anyway, welcome. And do enjoy the food, which is the thing I will miss most if I travel out of Malaysia.😂
Spot on! We're not confrontational and we dont like drama. The only place that ever happens is during our weekly Parliament session.
🤣😂🤣Are the sessions televised or streamed online? I sure would like to watch. My tv is set to stream so I haven't seen the local channels. Thanks for watching and sharing!!
@@QueenofDC
Streamed live, ma'am.
@uncledan2u Thank you!! I'll have to check it out. I'm sure it's entertaining.
@@QueenofDC This guy made us famous globally and yes, he can speak English 😂
th-cam.com/video/Dhw9_s2nLNM/w-d-xo.html
The Parliamentary sessions are a barrel of laughs amidst the seriousness of the matter at hand.
Please learn Bahasa Malaysia and join in the fun!
About skin colours, at least in the Malay community, although majority of the Malays are tan, our skin colour covers quite a wide range, from really fair to really dark. So, different skin colours don't really faze us.
Very true! No one here is fazed by the color of my skin. I love seeing all the different tones and the beauty. Conversations with Malaysians have always been genuine and engaging. Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰!
@@QueenofDCyou haven't been to south east malaysia yet, you will be surprise by how diverse we are in borneo island. We have more than 100 ethnicity in sarawak. The biggest community is malay, follow by chinese, iban, indian, bidayuh, kenyah and a lot more. Usually church, temple and mosque are not far from each other, but no one will do a protest, or complain about anyone. All accept and respect each other.
@aliey9330 I've heard so many great things about Borneo I've added it to my travel list. I require even more time to explore Malaysia so I'll be planning the next phase based on all that has been shared. Thank you for the recommendations and guidance! 🥰 Malaysians have made me feel very comfortable and I look forward to seeing all parts. 💕

@@ZubZubi apa bendelah kau ni, takde koma, noktah. Main sambing je. Macam mana orang nak baca😂🤣
As a Black Man from America who traveled to Malaysia with my wife and 4 year old, we absolutely loved our experience in Malaysia. We were treated with the utmost respect and very brotherly/sisterly. I made several friends while I was there as well. Malaysians are beautiful people. We are definitely going back.
Greetings! Thanks you for watching and sharing your experience. I'm happy to hear that you and your family were treated well and you had a great time too. I agree Malaysians are warm, welcoming and respectful. I'm grateful for their hospitality and the local friends I've made. I know my experience has changed others perspective and exposed them to Malaysia. It feels like home and a place you want to return so I understand. Maybe I'll see you around Malaysia one day. Happy New Year 🎊!!
@@QueenofDC absolutely. I’m sure you and my wife would get along very well. Hopefully we see each other around one day!
As a Malaysian myself, most of us avoid drama/confrontation. But if we see one on the side of the street, everyone will pull out their popcorn including me 😂😂😂 jokes aside I’m glad you feel comfortable living/travelling here. Have a great day ma’am ❤
🤣😂🤣We have much in common LOL!! Thank you and it's been a wonderful time and I'm loving my experience. Listen, I waited to see what would happen with the man with the bat 😂🤣 folks were like oh well they'll work it out HAHAHA! Appreciate you watching and sharing. Be easy!! 🥰
One thing to consider, kl has many migrant workers from neighbouring countries eg bangladesh, pakistan, indonesia, myanmar. Any form of misbehaviour on their part (regardless if they are legit or illegal immigrant), the locals like me will get a bad name because visitors don't know they are from another country. This is our fear.
That's very true and unfortunate because we can't distinguish them apart. We just know it's Malaysia. How are such crimes handled by police? Are offenders sent to jail or deported? I'm not sure how the laws/ penal system works here. Thank you for your insight!
@QueenofDC if they commit any offence they will serve time and deported. Usually if they break only immigration laws, they will be blacklisted for 5 years and deported. Due to our long sea borders, they can easily enter our country. Unlike Australia and New Zealand which is isolated and far away. Also airport immigration has corruption, working with syndicates. Many were caught and sacked. Many came from poor countries. Similar situation like texas Mexico border areas.
Yeah sounds familiar with the corruption. I didn't think about the sea borders entry.
Yess, That True....thank for telling that✌️
Exactly
Malaysia is a simple and friendly country. thank you for visited our country. 🙏❤️🇲🇾
Thank you very much for the lovely welcome 🥰. That's why I love Malaysia. Simplicity and friendly is how I live my life ❤️. Peace and Joy I pray daily. Appreciate your watching and sharing!

We have an African black fashion model here, miss Tanya Miller. She is famous African in Malaysia. She's funny, good attitude n respected as well. Anyway, welcome to Malaysia sister...
Thanks for sharing!!!🥰 I'm going to look her up. I love having this platform and learning so much from locals/visitors about Malaysia 🇲🇾. I've been enlightened and appreciate the time you've taken to watch and comment 🥰. Much gratitude for the warm welcome!!
Hello! KL-ites here, thank you. Thank you for your pleasant testimony of us. And if you do experience any unpleasantries or any bad encounter during your time here, please don't hesitate to share it with us, and we'll try to understand the problem about it and we'll try to be better for all of us here in KL. -that's how we learn to grow.
Thank you for the lovely message and openness to assist. At times we may not know why something is a certain way and it's helpful to gain insight from natives. I sure will share if such happens. I speak honestly about my experiences so others can learn too. I'm happy to have this platform and connect with welcoming people like you and tap into the community for guidance. I appreciate your support and sharing 🥰. Cheers!!

@QueenofDC, Appreciate the KL culture lesson. Yes, we Americans can be loud & privileged, so it’s important to settle down, observe, ask questions, learn and be respectful of the environment.
Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰. Respect and understand the norms of where you are is so important. It's liberating being in a culture of peace ✌🏽.

If you know Yuna, you know Malaysia
- Im glad you’re treated well and with much respect there. Enjoy and prosper!
- a Californian of Malaysian descent
Thank you 🥰!! I'm going to see her in concert in KL. It will be my first international concert so I'm excited 🎊. Everyone here has been wonderful and kind when meeting. It's a positive vibe I'm enjoying. Thanks for watching and sharing!! 💕If you're in San Diego, I'm almost jealous because I love it there too.
Fabulous - I’m so jelly and excited for you - you’re gonna have a ball!!
San Diego is a vibe - always a good time. I’m up in Northern California coast - Mendocino. A little more mellow.
Enjoy Yuna and hopefully you’ll post a video! Be safe and live it up 😊
@FaizalNazaruddin-ko8dw Thank you 🥰!! I sure will share the concert moments. 👏🏽🎶
Yuna will be proud of you.
🥰 Yaaay!! I'm going to see her in concert and can't wait. What a dream come to see her perform in her country and she's the reason why I put KL on the list ❤️. Full circle and I was meant to be here.
Good for you. Respect begets respect. Just to be frank as far as Malaysians are concerned, as long as you're cool, they're cool too and can become lifelong friends.
Thank you and that's wonderful to know as I've learned Malaysians are receptive and kind to foreigners. I don't entertain disrespect or dish it out. Living a life of ease, please no unnecessary stress, takes too much energy and I'm a positive person with a permanent smile 😀. Thank you for watching and sharing. I look forward to building a community with Malaysian friends too!
I am definitely going to add KL to my list when I return to Asia. You know I love my Chiang Mai. But I want to explore more of Asia for extended stays.
Yassss!! 👏🏽👏🏽🎊I know you love some Chiang Mai that was the spot!! I wass reminiscing on that fish the other day. Great!! Happy I've sparked your interest in KL...I had to marinate but I'm finding my way here 🥰.
One of the best aspects of South East Asia in general is that things are close, if you want to visit Chiang Mai again it’s a short flight!
@@99_Planet Thank you!! Yes, the proximity to other places is wonderful and it doesn't require lengthy flights. 🎊
@@QueenofDC what fish was that?
@vincentchin88 It's a food vendor at the Night Market, the market that starts with an A, who grilled the best whole fish and I can't recall the name of the fish but it was delicious. Unfortunately, I loss all my Thailand footage in my phone so I can't do a video or post pictures 😭😭. Praying somehow a miracle of recover happens. Thailand was amazing too. The fish was popular. When I walked up he already knew my order LOL!!
the police there are amazing. one time i was lost looking for an atm and they gave me a ride
That's cool and good to know. I went into the department store and my bag went off 😆. I stopped to check if other store left security tag on item and the officer was waving no no you can go, it's fine.
U are very gentle in the way u speak... I'm glad if I meet u on the road.. Malaysians wouldn't have any problem to encounter someone like u. Enjoy ur time in Malaysia
Thank you for the beautiful compliment and I'm the same in person. If we ever cross paths be sure to speak 🥰. Positive vibes and I'm enjoying my time here. Learning so much from the comments and meeting kind locals. Appreciate you watching and sharing 💕.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I think, it doesn't matter whether you are black or white, you are safe in Malaysia, as long as you stay away from troubles.
You might want to know that Malaysia currently has a population of 33M. Aside from that figure, there are 9M immigrants in Malaysia, legal and illegal. For tourists who are new to Malaysia, couldn't tell the difference between the Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sabahan, Sarawakian Malaysians, from the immigrants from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Middle East etc.
A black person from America isn't a stranger in my case. While I was working in ISIS Malaysia, a government think tank, I have many superiors and colleagues from America. My ex colleagues, Brady (white) from Texas, Keith (Black) from NYC. My ex bosses, Prof Valencia from University of Hawaii and I had served two dons from University of Harvard, before I joined KLCC, where I had few dozens of expatriates from mostly America and Europe.
Thank you for watching and sharing! Yes indeed, I don't want no parts of trouble. If it's going down I'm out. Feeling safe is liberating because in America it's stressful and wears you down. That's the reality so I avoid stress.
I definitely can't tell the difference. I try to listen for the language to decipher what I know 😂🤣but it's not that many. Truly a melting pot here.
I find it incredulous when people act like they've never seen a Black person. Unless you're in a remote village way out some place, I'm not buying it 🤣😂. This is why I love travel, it exposes you to many different people and cultures. 🥰
Thank you for visiting Malaysia and giving a good testimonial about Malaysia.. you are always welcome to Malaysia.. Malaysia is safe but you still have to be aware of the surrounding.
Thank you for the wonderful welcome and kind words🥰. I will be mindful and cautious of my surroundings because safety is a priority in all places. It's more peaceful here than where I come from but I still must be watchful of the bad apples in the bunch.
Appreciate you watching and sharing!
Sounds like you are having a great cultural experience 😊
Thank you 🥰! I'm enjoying my time here learning and exploring the culture and country. It's been relaxing as well.
Thanks for sharing! Malaysia is one of my favorite places on the planet!
WOW!! Mine too so we both have great taste 🥰. It's been an amazing journey, and I feel fortunate to have discovered a place that provides exactly what I need.
Thank u , this is so helpful 🥹I’m black and coming to KL on 3 Oct solo traveler ❤❤
Awesome!! I hope you enjoy KL as much as I do 🥰. I've had no problems and delighted to be here. It feels like home here for me. Safe travels!💕

Such a heartwarming review. Thats very thoughtful of you. Have a nice stay.❤
Thank you very much for your kind words🥰. I'm happy to share my experience and help others as they travel this way. It's important to hear varying perspectives and also for those like me to know it's all good. Appreciate you watching and sharing! 💕
This is nice, you have a good observation skill. Have a fun trip everywhere you go🎉
Thank you very much for the nice compliment 🥰. Observation and discernment are so important. I'm enjoying my time here and it's been a wonderful journey. Appreciate the well wishes and your watching and sharing 💕.
I lived in the USA for 28 years. I moved back to Malaysia. It is a cool place. You can go out in the evening to any bar and meet people, and you will become friends. Cops are cool too. They will never pull out their guns.
WOW!! 28 years is a long time. Similar to my story living in DC 30 years and leaving to travel. There is a certain peace here unlike in USA and it feels good. I'm mindful to be cautious of surroundings but it's good to know the police operate differently here. People have been kind and open so I can see how it's easy to make friends here. Thank you for watching and sharing your journey 🥰!
let's talk about it... love that tag line (btw you got that glow--lighting, your aura, all of the things)
Thank you 🥰! I appreciate the compliment cause I love a hood glow! That's my vibe ❤️. Appreciate you watching and yeah, that's my tag line now LOL!
Malaysia also have many of foreign worker, they're not like a Malaysian, which is have to be careful when walking alone and spot them on the street, we as Malaysian don't want anything bad happen to the foreign tourist...have a nice travel.
Thank you very much for the warning and I'll be mindful to stay alert and cautious. There are many people around and always good to stay alert. I'm enjoying my time here 🥰. Appreciate you watching and sharing!
Awesome video.. Thank you🌻

@@QueenofDC 👍😁❤️much love, take care sister
Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤ ❤
Thank you for watching and happy it can be beneficial to you!!🥰
If you find the local people are scared to approach you it's usually because they can't speak English well and you're probably too tall and imposing to them.
As everyone said, always be extra careful of scammers and strangers that get too close and really friendly with you for no reason. These people are mostly foreigners looking to take advantage of you.
Thank you and one thing I'm not is too tall 😂🤣. I'm a shorty but definitely mindful and cautious of my surroundings and strangers. Although I'm nice I'm not naive and got a keen sense of foolishness. Appreciate you watching and sharing insight and concern because safety is priority 💯😊.

Many insightful comments have been shared here. Your adventurous spirit and willingness to embrace new cultures are truly admirable. Thank you for warmly embracing the diversity of Malaysia and feeling comfortable and safe here, reflecting the welcoming nature of its people. However, I have also encountered kindness and had wonderful experiences in other countries. I believe it's all about appreciating different cultures and having the flexibility to adapt to new environments. As a Malaysian, I proudly welcome you to Kuala Lumpur.
Thank you for the warm welcome and valuable insights! 🥰 I'm truly amazed by the thoughtful and engaging Malaysian community, who generously share resources and guidance. Their love for Malaysia and openness to embracing foreigners is truly inspiring, allowing everyone to appreciate the country's beauty while learning. I believe in staying where I'm welcomed and can make a positive impact. Flexibility and adaptability are essential, and every place has its unique quirks. However, building a strong community can truly transform the experience. I'm grateful for the community I've found in Malaysia, both on this platform and beyond.
Malaysia is one of the best countries and one of my favorite countries, nice video.
Thank you for tuning in!! Welcome. I would have to agree with you 🥰❤️.
Love your smiles 😊
Selamat datang
Have a pleasant stay and be safe 💕
Thank you for the lovely compliment and warm welcome 🥰😁. I sure will! 💕
Thank you! If you wish randomly have a conversation with a Malaysian, start with asking where or what to eat!
Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰! I always do because I need to know where to get some good food LOL!! What so funny is they have to take a moment to think about it and then ask others around. I put them on the spot 🤣😂. I also ask places to visit etc. I'm trying to get the inside scoop.
No pun intended but Inside Scoop is a well known local ice cream chain.
@@vincentchin88 Oh for real LOL!! I'll have to try it now. Google find Inside Scoop. Thanks for letting me know 😋!
@@vincentchin88 There's one in KLCC!!! Dessert coming up. I love all the ice cream shops here too.
@@QueenofDC I stay at the Mont Kiara/Hartamas area. There's also an alcoholic ice cream parlor and pretty good BBQ there. You can visit and film that suburb too.
Have a great time travelling. May God bless you everywhere everyday. Enjoy!
Thank you very much for the lovely wishes and Blessings 🥰. I've been enjoying my travels and learning much along the way! Peace and Blessings 💕
I'm thankful that you're feeling safe and comfortable❤😊. You're very soft spoken too. I would love to chat with you if we meet.. probably a little bit awkward on my part. 😅😂

Thank you for this video. I always watch youtubes on foreigners experience in Malaysia as I would like to know how to respond to tourists or foreigners as I would like to be hospitable but not rude or inconsiderate. 😊
Thank you very much for watching and that's very kind of you 🥰. I appreciate you and your hospitality and I know when people visit my city I'm gracious too because I know how it is in a new city. I thank you for watching and supporting my channel. 🎊Have a wonderful day and please say hello if you ever see me. 😁

Thank you for the kind welcome 🥰! Happy to be in Malaysia 🇲🇾.

Thank you for watching and happy you discovered my channel 🥰. That's wonderful to hear! Traveling solo can be such a rewarding experience, especially in a place as vibrant and diverse as Malaysia. Amazing cultural experiences, stunning skylines, and delicious food. Wishing you a wonderful trip!! 🎊
Thank you for visiting Malaysia Madam..We really glad and welcome you here.Take care and have a pleasant journey.🥰
Thank you for the beautiful welcome and taking time to watch 🥰. I'm delighted to be here and experience the culture and people of Malaysia. It's been a wonderful stay! Very much appreciate your support and sharing 💕.
Oh okay, wow 7 Eleven is everywhere 😊. Thanks for the information. I'll get the Grab app before I leave here. I know that Malaysia is safe, but I feel better if I know the driver is accountable.
Auwww Yuna ❤

Thank you so much for the lovely welcome 🥰! It's definitely a foodie paradise and I had no idea 😆. I'm enjoying the exploratory process.
The black and colourful skin is beautiful. Beautiful that you have been mentioned about my country, especially KL. We M'sian respect all people who is here and repectful each others are common here where like you as good as your manner itself that become excellent examples to others when speak or converse on screen l have seen here. Your mind is strongly and greatly have to be revealed the good news about my country that you like to speak up about it. Oh my dear there's something good if you are admiring and have been experienced and stay here where as you seem to be happy and safe here. May god be blessed you and your family wherever you go
Thank you for your beautiful message🥰. I can't keep what I've learned to myself because I want others to experience this same type of peace and live in a culture of respect and acceptance without daily trauma. Some of my people don't know what it feels like to live in peace or a multicultural society that is about respect rather than skin color. Sharing my experience have helped others and even with my friends, Malaysia is now a place they want to visit. I appreciate the wishes and Blessings, always accepting. Happy you've joined me on this journey and thank you for sharing and watching! 💕
Thanks mom
You're welcome Love 🥰💕!!
Black or white is just a colour as well as we said age is just a number. The most important in Malaysia is you keep your goodself attitude, Malaysia don't like drama, rudeness, provoke essential, proud, etc.
Thank you for watching and sharing!! I absolutely agree and don't do drama. Let's respect one another and do the right thing. Appreciate your support 🥰.
good for you .... ma'am ❤
Thank you so much for watching and sharing 🥰. Loving my time here!💕
Cool.. Welcome To Malaysia. ✌💜
Thank you 🥰! I've had a really great time here, love exploring and meeting locals and into the food. 😋
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 💜 I would like to hear more about making and income & living expenses. If I were to say I’m done with Atlanta, leave everything for Malaysia. ❤
Greetings! You're very welcome. Thank you for tuning in ❤️. I designed my life for early retirement so I have no insight on making an income here. You can work remote. I recommend researching their laws on work requirements for foreigners since every country is different and they may have special work visas. Living in Malaysia is less expensive than Atlanta; however, I don't operate by a budget. If you have a lease, you can get reduced rental rates. If you live in the outskirts from the center, maybe $600-700. Without knowing your circumstances, estimate $800-1200 per month for rent in KL City Center. It's all about location, plan for more and celebrate when it's less. These are rough estimates, and actual expenses can vary based on individual choices and circumstances.
@@QueenofDC Thank you so much for your quick response! I’m definitely doing my research! I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I wish you good luck and blessings! 💜💜
Hello 😃 welcome to malaysia.Enjoy ur stay and hope you like the food and the culture here.. stay safe and once again welcome to malaysia 😊
Thank you for the wonderful welcome 🥰!! I'm having an awesome and relaxing time here. Enjoying the food and culture immensely. It's a Blessing to be here 💕.
I hope you safe & happy here.. ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely wishes 🥰. I'm really happy being here and grateful for all the kind support!💕
When you mentioned about 'being profiled', I feel sad for you that you experienced it in your own country. It doesn't feel right to even listen to a story like that as human. But, I'm glad you feel at ease about shopping or even window shopping in KL. In Malaysia, it happened too in some stores.. but you don't experience it in big shopping malls.
Thank you for understanding and empathizing 🥰. It's deplorable and dehumanizing when the country was built on my ancestors back and we are productive contributing members of society. A HOT mess! People are people and will judge but knowingly I won't spend my money anyplace that treats me that way. I'll fight with my dollars! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and sharing!
thank u 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰! Appreciate your support and happy to be here 🎊.
Tq..n welcomeeee❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much 🥰!! I'm happy to be here and appreciate your support and sharing 💕.
If I bump into you somewhere, I will definitely say hi and buy you a meal 😊
Awesome!! Thank you for your kindness and warm hospitality 🥰. Hopefully, one day we'll bump into each other 🎊 👋🏽.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Malaysia. I am planning to visit KL next week and to stay for a month. I hope to go to Singapore while I'm there and the Philippines. My only concern is the heat and humidity. If I can get past that, it should be fine. If you are still there, let's have coffee. I'm from the states also and am looking for the best place to relocate.
Greetings!! You're welcome and happy you'll be visiting KL and hope you enjoy the city just as I do. Singapore is lovely and a favorite too. Haven't made it to the Philippines yet. Since you're there a month you don't have to rush and can go out later some days. Since I'm no longer in tourist mode😆I don't go out until after 3pm unless I have appointments because it's so hot. I won't be in KL within the next couple of weeks; however, if I'm back within the month, I'll let you know. Meeting for coffee ☕️ would be lovely. Please let me know how you like KL and if it's a possible place in the running. Safe travels 🥰✈️!!
@@QueenofDC Thank you for the warm greeting! I'm excited about coming to KL and seeing Singapore and the Philippines as well. No, I won't be rushing about and if it's as hot as I've heard, I will likely wait until mid-day to explore. I do hope that you are back in KL before I leave so that we can meet over coffee and chat. I definitely will let you know which Asian country will fit my needs best. Is it best to try to get a sim card for my phone at the airport, or should I wait to get it at a mall? I'm sure I won't have an issue finding a ride to my hotel but I'm used to using Bolt/Uber as I travel. 💕 Continued blessings, queen!
@@arlethavondell5162 You can wait and get your SIM card at 7-Eleven. Much cheaper than the airport - it costs about $5 for the month and works well - gives you a phone number too. Download Grab that's what we use in Malaysia and Asia. Thailand uses Bolt too. Grab is on the Lower level Door 4/5 in KLIA2 airport very easy to catch. Enjoy!!!
Kuala Lumpur is a cosmopolitan city. 😎
That's what I tell people!! They better recognize. I'm happy I'm influencing my friends to visit 🥰.
Michelle yeoh too is from malaysia. Academy award winner 2023.
I didn't know that before another viewer mentioned it too. Now anything Malaysia is on my radar and I'll likely notice more things relevant to the county. 💕
@QueenofDC food critic and famous youtuber "uncle roger" his real name nigel ng is also malaysian. He is based in uk but Travels to USA too. He likes to criticise Jamie Oliver. I am surprised he clicked with Gordon Ramsey and others.
😂🤣😂Those guys are wild and hilarious. Cool, I'll have to check him out.
Thank You ma'am
Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰! Appreciate your support and I'm having a great time here 💕.
Enjoy your staying 👍✌️ respect each other..
Thank you very much 🥰. Always respectful. Appreciate you watching and sharing. I'm enjoying my time here 💕.
You are beautiful madam and polite speach ❤ Welcome to Malaysia Truely Asia
Thank you for the beautiful compliment and welcome 🥰! I love the slogan "Malaysia, Truly Asia." Appreciate you watching and sharing!
On my way next year to visit Malaysia. Getting ready to retire! Please list the best hotel to stay in KL, thanks for sharing 🌎
Thanks for watching!! I'll be doing a video on places I've stayed here. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! It's been wonderful for me 🥰.
@@QueenofDC looking forward to the video. Again thank you! 🙏🙏🏾
@@Lion-fj3wpthere are plenty.. if you want to feel the vibes of modern life, check into KL triangle of Bukit Bintang. You may consider staying at KL Sentral or NU Sentral area for the easiest public transportation chain
You definitely have a sweet mouth full of praises and good remarks of Malaysia. But don’t get carried away too far yet. Of course there are bad hats everywhere in the world and Malaysia is not spared. Only that you haven’t encountered any yet, touch wood. I’m not trying to scare you, just want to remind you to be alert at all times when you are up and about, not only here in Malaysia but everywhere else too. Take care sis, and welcome to explore every inch of our beloved country - “Malaysia Truly Asia”. Leave only with the fondest of memories and discard the bitter ones.
Listen, I'm from America where racism is systemic and overt, homelessness spread like the plague, increased crime, working poor can't catch a break, and corrupt politicians don't care, kids can't play outside and fear going to school because they may be shot. I speak my truth from experiences and I'm not naive to the ways of the world. I'm well traveled and seasoned and my number one priority is always my well being and safety. I appreciate your kind wishes and concern. Our experiences shape who we are and memories of those experiences are equally important. Thank you for watching and sharing!
@@QueenofDCAsh yeah but there are still quite something i think u haven't encounter in America or elsewhere yet.which may seems ridiculous or myths to u or westerners..but is real" n does exists.if one is unfortunate enough to" cross its paths".. I am talking about black magic..shamanism.. ect..impossible in such vibrant city like KL? U "ll be surprised.. but then its ok just don't get on wrong side of the wrong people..but the least dangerous for people to beware of is the scammer who practiced hypnotism" to rob n steal..esp at th counter .Banks ect.usually they are foreigners..some are from the middle east.. most crimes are committed by outsiders.i don't know Malaysia seems to invites everybody from all corners of the planet including the rif- raf.few years back there were gang from South America.that went around kl/ selangor having break- in spree..but luckily enough were arrested jailed I think n deported..n never heard of them since...but there are others still around.anyways stays long enough u will hear all sort of stories.weird or otherwise.😂 well welcome to my homeland .n enjoys your sta😮y...
Lived in Malaysia for 3 years in KL. Best years of my life . I miss it especially the food.
Oh nice!! Yes, I've grown to love the food. Where did you live in the city? Your favorite area?
@@QueenofDCthank you for your response 😊. I lived in PJ close to 1 utama and the Curve. I was an international student. Made lifelong friends ❤ Malaysia opened my eyes to a world of possibilities!
Welcome to Malaysia ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥰!! I'm very happy to be here. It's a dream come true 🎊. 💕
Very humorous. The check is in the mail 😂.
Chaching 💵!!!😂🤣😂
I like Malaysia very much and it’s also very diverse
Yes, I enjoy the diversity and it's been easy to maneuver. I've adjusted from the culture shock and have learned so much from Malaysians. It's been a great experience ❤️.
please enjoy the hospitality my sister..
Thank you for your kindness 🥰! I sure am and loving my time here. Appreciate your watching and sharing 💕.
RESPECT..that's the word...😊
Always!! It never goes out of style and required. 🥰💕Thanks for watching and sharing.
As a malaysian, i have a lot friends from different culture. Im a muslim, but went to Chinese school (High school type(mixed) secondary school). Even its chinese school its complete. We have Islam subject, chinese subject & hindu subject. Its the same like other country because we mixed in classes. But when it came to our own religion subject, we apart and go to other classes that only our religion in it. I have a christian friend that love to follow me to my Islam subject and our teacher and us is okay with it . We never judge tho. Sometimes we discuss about our religion together without any fight. We’re in high school but already talking about religion. So im just saying that we normalize this thing since a kids. So its hard to see us fight because we remember our sweet memory together ❤
We will loud when someone touch our country 😁 just respect us then we respect you.
That's a beautiful memory and way to live throughout life. Our foundation and morals never leave us and how we were raised plays a part but as we grow we evolve and change, hopefully for the better. I appreciate you sharing your cherished memories and how there's a mutual respect. We can disagree and have different beliefs but let's always remain respectful. May you continue to share and impart those teachings on others. Thank you for watching and sharing 🥰.
