I admire the way you empathetically acknowledge that it's not always affordable for the locals. It reflects a deep understanding of their perspective.

One thing foreign youtubers always fail to mention or more likely take for granted of is how english is widely used in Malaysia especially compared to countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam or even east asian countries like Japan, S. Korea, China etc. Pretty much everything important is written in english (signboards, apps, instructions, restaurant menus etc plus there are even multiple english speaking radio stations too). U can also go to hospitals, police stations, government agencies etc and use english there without much issues. Hey, I'm a local, and my english is ok right? 😅

Malaysia fantastic place to live, dream that I would never taught.
I’ve met lovely, so friendly people here in KL, make lots of friends.
There are also negative side and I choose to speak about the positive.

I enjoyed the bus ride around KL City so much included out of town.
Frequent travel with AirAsia for many years.


“THANK YOU” for choosing MALAYSIA to live, explore the inner side, the beauty of mix cultures between so many races living in harmony.

Malaysia is an up and coming city with lots of potential for growth, and prices are generally still on the affordable side of things. It has all the modern infrastructures and convenience of a developed country, but at a developing country's cost!😅😊

[nurkhairizadmd.zawawi]

Sprinkle that malaysian pride everywhere 🎉

[axisptyltd]
