I’m touring East Malaysia now for one Month, I have been to Kuching, Miri, Kota Kinabalu and Sibu and what Mr. Gibbon says is true, I honestly have never experienced a place with people this friendly and welcoming, I’ve been amazed at just how nice and friendly the people here really are. I Will be going back to Kuching in two days for my last week here in East Malaysia. I can’t wait to get some more of the amazing laksa and of course the incredible seafood at Topspot.
Since Malaysians were once part of a multicultural society, we do not consider immigrants to be strangers. We don't care if they are immigrants or indigenous because there are many different races of individuals in our country. However, we naturally extend additional kindness to visitors from abroad since we are interested in learning about their reasons for visiting and what they find appealing about our country. In general, Malaysians are just as amiable as individuals from other Southeast Asian countries.
I'm moving to Kuching in August of this year. Your videos have helped ease my nerves about moving to another country, and I really can't thank you enough for it. I've never been more excited for anything in my life, and you've absolutely contributed to that by making these videos. Thanks, Nick.
Hey Brady! That’s so exciting to read! You’ll love it here. I’m happy my videos help in some way. Looking forward to meeting you! You’re always welcome to come say hi at my shop the Gibbons Nest on carpenter street😉
Again a great video! Thanks a lot for it! I felt in love with Malaysia already some years ago, and very much with Kuching last February , so I will come back in the next month of march again and -yes, I would like to live in this amazing country- and I am still thinking about it. I am already retired and I have plenty of time. All the best for you from a German guy living in Spain!
Hallo Nick leuk om weer een video te zien van jouw mijn naam is Gerard en ik ben getrouwd met mijn vrouw uit Maleisië in 2013 en 2 jaar geleden zijn we in Borneo komen wonen met onze zoon. eerst hebben we in Kuching gewoond en nu in Bau dichter bij familie en het klopt wat je zegt het weer is 100 procent beter dan in Nederland en we gaan hier ook niet meer weg zijn nu ons huis aan het bouwen. wie weet komen we elkaar nog eens tegen in Kuching.😁😁
Hey Gerard, wat een leuk bericht! Als je weer een keer in Kuching bent, dan ben je altijd welkom voor een kopje koffie bij mijn shop op Carpenter Street. Het heet Gibbon’s Nest (een gallery en souvenir shop).
Mr global gibon I’m already sold on Kuching/sarawak If you remember me Lez from Manchester ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Your videos and you know I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Kuching it’s where I want to live when I’m retired with my partner who I have told you before is from Kuching and I miss him everyday ( as he’s serving in the navy there) But Kuching is in my heart from the very 1st time I was there with him ( 14 years ago that’s how long we have had this long distance relationship) From the 1st day I WAS SOLD with Kuching ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤so I hope I will meet you n buy you a cup of coffee I will buy you one now so let me know how I can Thanks keep doing what your doing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ It everytime THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much Nick for promoting and explaining about Sarawak and most of all about Malaysia, you know better than the locals I meant the way you explore about Malaysia. , Very good video 👍👍❤❤
Mallaysia and indonesia are almost same country, tropical forest especially. But if you live in indonesia , you will struggle with many mosquito every day, traffic jam, expensive petrol and gas, difficult find jobs especially foreigner, slums, difficult regulations, , Greetings from indonesia

Hey Yasin! Good to see you in the comments again. All is well with Mag, Milow and I. Milow is growing up fast! I’ll look into doing another S-MM2H video again soon!
Ok, I believe you forgot the safety factor of Malaysia - no guns!!!! Also, before your viewers just move here, they do need to get a visa for LT stays. MM2H visa rules just changed to be slightly easier.
Indeed, Malaysia is a very safe country. Guns are almost impossible to find. Only some locals can have shotguns for hunting, but that’s it. You’re right, to stay here for a long time you’ll need one of the various long term visas😉
Hey, our hotel was by that bridge. Convince my wife to move and I'm there! We go to Malaysia quite often to escape the winter cold here in Northern California, but wife will not move, period! Her words exactly. :) We spent 2 weeks in your city last September. We were supposed to be there a month, but wife was bored and said let's go back to KL. LOL. We were there in KL in January last year and again this February. Why does Sarawak require us to go through immigration again when coming from inside the country? Thought that was weird. KLIA may be one of the busiest, but there still isn't a direct flight from SFO! Our hotel was right down that street, but I swear that white building was on the other side of the street when we were there. They moved it? :)
There are so many english words borrow from malay language. For example : compound (kampong), sampan, sarong, durian, rambutan, cockatoo (kakaktua), mango (mangga), dugong, tapir, kris (keris), junk (jong), amok (amuk), sambal, parang, sundang, silat, etc..
Unfortunately, recent visa regulations and the processing times ruined the experience. Retirees are looking for stability and Malaysia is no longer willing to provide it.
@@GlobalGibbon True, it's better than the federal program. But the processing time of 18 to 24 months is killing it for me. As a digital nomad with kids in school I don't have the flexibility to live so long in a state of uncertainty.
I heard that you can start a business at Langkawi for 3000 dollar and an anual sum of 1400 dollar. That will make you resident. Do you know about this?
A bit of correction. 1. Longest bridge in asean is in Brunei 2. Oldest rainforest is daintree australia however peninsula and borneo have one of the oldest in the world.
Hey nick. Sorry to correct you but when u said the "twin tower's here" is actually in Kuala Lumpur. But when u say "here" u r in Kuching. Plus, u should had say "Sarawak" bcus people only think of malaysia is only in the peninsular. So yeah. Sorry if the malaysia government from west malaysia did not introduced our country correctly. Is ok nick. Can ask more sarawakians about the real malaysia😁

Malaysia has the most famous food. Roti canai can be eaten everyday and everyone loves it
My fiance is Malaysian, visited for the first time in November. What a place, amazing!!!! I feel like i will movw there in a few years
Wow! Good to read you’re marrying a Malaysian, great choice! I hope you get to visit Malaysia again soon!
@GlobalGibbon is malaysia visa run friendly unlike thailand? Can I stay there indefinitely?
@@Anomalyy666 nah unfortunately visa run are kinda risky now

Hey! Thanks for watching my videos! How exciting you met your Bidayuh girl all the way there. You’ll love visiting her kampung in the future!
Thank you for this wonderful video. Lovely content. By the way, how are you and Milow are doing?
Perhaps, you could consider making a video on Sarawak MM2H program which is more attractive than the MM2H program.
Hey Yasin! Good to see you in the comments again. All is well with Mag, Milow and I. Milow is growing up fast!
I’ll look into doing another S-MM2H video again soon!
@@GlobalGibbon Hey Nick. Good to hear from you. All is wonderful. 😀
Great sharing. I love it as always. Thank you Nick. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Hey Sharon - thanks so much! Have an amazing day!
Setiap negeri ada keunikan yang tersendiri. Love your video btw.
Any comments are welcome. For improvements
Sarawak have new Governor 👏🏻

Hoping in 5 years from Alberta Canada where the weather stinks and the taxes are even worse...
Hey! Thanks for watching! The weather is always good here in Malaysia - I do miss the snow a bit sometimes though. Haha
Go to Cameron Highlands to experience fake snow sometimes. It’s cold like snow but it’s fake!
Marvelous
Ipoh is one of three best coffee cities in Asia.

Two Malay words used in English are, "Sarung" cloth worn around the waist and "Orangutan" a type of Monkey.
Many actually..
comment from Belgium
I like your style
I think I should move to Malaysia

True, the federal MM2H programme is failing. Nevertheless, Sarawak has its own programme and is still rather attractive!

2. Oldest rainforest is daintree australia however peninsula and borneo have one of the oldest in the world.
Good points! My info on the longest bridge was off since Brunei opened its Temburong bridge recently.

Nahhhh dont move to malaysia. We want to keep it to ourselves. But foreigners are always welcome to visit
