As a Malaysian myself, I never feel offended when people criticize my country because most of the time I agree too.😂

[asmrlova]

As a Malaysian, personally I prefer unfiltered, uncensored honest opinion. I know a lot of people/foreigners when asked for comment tend to just highlight the positives. And content creators tend to edit out the negatives because lets be honest, people love to be praise especially Malaysian, and especially when it comes to food matters.

[kurtx]

I've been to all the big cities in Southeast Asia, and I'd say Kuala Lumpur is more relaxed than Bangkok and Saigon, cleaner than Jakarta and Manila, and cheaper than Singapore.

Yep, every city has its own uniqueness, pros & cons, but Kuala Lumpur is the best city for you to explore food and culture from all over Asia in one place, with family and kids. It’s like a sandwich of all the flavors in a discount price.

[redgatecrt]

As an Australian, I feel so free in Malaysia. It’s why I spend 6 months of the year in Malaysia

[uqxvwiu]

I already been to France and England. it is also not clean at all like media shows you. America also. full of trash all over the street. Malaysia much more cleaner than Thailand and Indonesia. its more diverse in all aspect like nature & food. more unity in one place. btw tq for the opinion, will create the Malaysia better ❤

[TheWorld-ofdd]

Actually I admire the sincerity in this video, cleanliness and water pollution is still a big issue here but hopefully the nation will get better about this as Malaysia move on

[khairiali]

Sebagai orang Malaysia, terima kasih kerana memberi komen yang membangun seperti ini. Perlu diingatkan setiap negera ada keistimewaan masing-masing dan kebersihan di Malaysia patut dipertingkatkan lagi. Jangan lupa orang Malaysia sangat peramah. Jangan lupa melawat negeri juga. Bagan Serai lagi bersih dari tempat lain 😂

[stevens]

This is one of the best champ because there's no sugar coating. People opening up and expressing themselves good or bad. Those negatives raised really only minor and hardly offensive. Cleanliness is certainly not just an issue in areas of Malaysia, same with Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand amongst others. Malaysia is clearly a winner in its own right regarding many things, in particular its people and the food. Well done Chai 🤩

[roningo]

I prefer frank comments from the tourists. No sugar coating. I do agree we should improve the overall cleanliness.

[nickloong]

It's better to leave it raw and uncensored, especially the bit about the homeless and the areas that are not so clean. Those are generally issues that most countries face, even in Japan! But it's also fair to say that the cleanliness of KL city has improved over the years, especially the rivers, drainage systems and the increased walk paths that's making KL a more walkable city. Thanks Chai, you're a champ indeed for highlighting these issues!😊

[followyourdreams]

Honestly, I can’t wait to go back to Malaysia. Worked there for a year and it was amazing. Lovely people, safe, great weather and food. Much better than the UK. ❤

[redgatecrt]

Malaysians don’t need alcohol to have a good time 👍🏽
I love it

[gptliks]

i am a filipino and i love my asean neightbours, all countries in the world have negative sides and bad sides so instead of hating each other we should work together and love each other

[magneticstorm]

Back in the mid 70s my Father was sent, by his Company to Open offices in South East Asia of all the Countries he visited he always, mentioned Malaysia as the most, that impressed him the diverse Culture, the Art, Music ect. RIP Dad I miss you very much.

[aidyadnan]

I like comments made by Malaysians accepting things that they know they have to work on in order to improve the image of the country. 👏

[socratesii]

In terms of cleanliness, yes Malaysia are not par with Japan, Singapore, Dubai and etc. I agree with that 100 percent. But for the tourist you guys should know how to differentiate between local people(Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sabah, Sarawak) and the foreigners(Bangladesh, India, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan), we look like the same but we're not the same.

[cherrymiese]

thank u for the comments and messages!
ps: kepada rakyat malaysia, tolong lah eh ada common sense untuk jaga kebersihan and bertanggungjawab dengan 'sampah' sendiri <3

[NoorNoor-ulzh]

Iam Dutch and Muslim. That’s why I visit Msia many times, it’s easy to find all the food i want to try. KL attract a lot of young Backpackers they want to travel cheap, eat cheap, sleep cheap. I can’t believe the economy will be rising by tourists who spend 20RM only for food. If alcohol was widespread I think KL was the Lloret de Mar of Msia. It will course so many problems. Iam happy for Msians that nightlife is boring and alcohol is expensive and less. For me KL is very nice. But iam also afraid that it will end cheap. I think KL should more attract Upper class tourists.

[nabuko]

I was in malaysia 2 months ago and i liked it verry much. Did KL, kota bharu and perhentian islands.

[yeongkarsoon]

I don't feel offended and i love it much more because as Malaysian i love that tourist came here and be human being. Every other country has its own positive and negative side so it's matter of preference of what you think. Keep it real and enjoy vacation in Malaysia 👍👍
