Do you also feel that more and more Japanese are moving to Malaysia?🤔

As a Japanese myself. I do love visiting Malaysia because of their culture and food. It's just like my 2nd home.

Malaysia was chosen as one of the three destinations for Japanese people to reside in case a major earthquake destroys Tokyo and other major cities. The Japanese government realized that they need to ensure that the Japanese society still survives and grow outside of Japan. Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia were the three places chosen as they did not have earthquakes or other major weather calamities. The second reason was because these three places had multi raciality and religious beliefs.

I'm from the Philippines. I love Malaysia. :)

[RodrigoJ-xl]

It's actually the top country for migration for 14 years till last year, not 2014. It still is the number 1 for Japanese in 2024. Based on Japanese own records.

The first Japanese brand I can recall from my early years is Ajinomoto, a well-known brand that enhances the flavour of our cuisine. I only knew about Japan and Japanese people from my parents' stories and history books about the Japanese occupation of our country during World War II. We learnt more about Japan when the Tun Dr. Mahathir administration implemented the "Look East Policy" in 1982, which is seen as a major turning point in Malaysia's bilateral relations with Japan. Following that, we here were familiar with a number of Japanese names, such as Toyota, Honda, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Sony, KDK, Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi, and many more.

We welcome Japanese people since they have contributed many amazing qualities that have enabled us to thrive as a developing nation. Malaysia is now considered to be among the cleanest countries in Southeast Asia due to the Japanese's excellent attention to cleanliness, and we are happy to follow their attitudes to keep our own country clean and tidy. We are happy to have Japanese people in Malaysia and no longer consider them to be strangers here.

1. Malaysia is broadly divided into two main groups: (i) Bumiputera (indigenous groups), which include Malays, Iban, Kadazan, Murut, Melanau, Kayan, Kelabit, Penan, Bajau, Sakai, and others; and (ii) Non-Bumiputera, such as Chinese, Indian, Sikh, Serani, etc.
2. Like most major cities in Malaysia, there are plenty of 24-hour eateries. The most popular among them are Mamak (Muslim Indian) restaurants, often the only places open around the clock.
3. Some tourists might find Kuala Lumpur (KL) a bit boring, as their idea of excitement often involves nightlife, easy access to alcohol, drugs (like marijuana), and the sex industry—areas in which Thailand is more renowned. However, Malaysia is more of a food lover’s paradise, with a slower pace and a focus on family-friendly activities. KL reflects this cultural aspect, plus it has less smog and traffic compared to Bangkok and Jakarta.
4. Cities like KL have a significant number of foreign workers from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Nepal, who are mostly employed in the service industry, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
5. Malaysia is also well-known for its high-quality and affordable healthcare, attracting many foreigners from Western countries like the US and Canada. Even Indonesians frequently visit Malaysia for health screenings and treatments.

As a long-term Japanese resident, I appreciate Malaysia for its independence from U.S. political influence, its family-friendly environment, and its conservative culture, which I find particularly suitable for raising children.

[surihakim]

A Japanese i know said, Malaysians and Japanese have the same values in life, like, respect others especially the elderly, family oriented, conservative, and traditional.

[syahidn.]

Im malay malaysian. I love japanese more than other foreigner. They are very polite and well manered. and they never talk bad about local people.

[decTac]

In 80's the Look East Policy by ex Malaysian PM Tun Mahathir made Malaysia and Japan a great friends ever 🇲🇾🇯🇵💪🤝

[acerazak]

Singapore cultural diversity? Nope..75% Singaporean are chinese, it is a homogeneous country. Malaysia is not just Malay, Chinese and Indian but also rich diverse ethnic like Orang asal, Iban, Dayak, Kadazan-dusun, Murut, Bajau etc. LOL at some people here who got triggered by sample of demographic n turn it into racist arguments 🙄

[mdnormatnor]

Foreigners like Malaysia because they think the cost of living is not expensive, almost foreign tourists oh!i like this country everything is cheaper. for the fact that it is not cheap for locals.

[jordanleeable]
