Honestly nobody care and nobody knows your orientation...it doesnt matter if you are gay, just dont display your affection in public...even straight people dont display publicly their affection, it is culture, and it is frowned upon. again, this is not west but east...and even if you have gay app, law enforcer have no rights nor power to check people phone and we have never heard about this, ever
Good video with one tiny minor exception. The restriction on public displays of "romantic" affection applies to EVERYONE - straight and gay. So in that regard, it really isn't requiring anything exceptional of gay people, or forcing them back into the closet. It's basically saying to keep your romantic physical behavior private because the country as a whole is pretty conservative and your private business should remain just that, your private business.
lol, i remember seeing on news several years ago when a gay couple had sex on their balcony out in the open on a cruise liner parked on the port in some Caribbean country....they were arrested, tried...and they cried the human rights was violated...ummm...you're not in the US
Seriously???? We Malaysian nvr care who you are... No matter what is your religion, skin colour, sex orientation etc... Just do what roman did when you in rome... Just respect locals n our culture, that's it... Don't shove your ideology to our throat n keep it behind your door whether you are homosexual or heterosexual. P/s : all the pics / video cuts regarding the syariah punishment are not in Malaysia. It's in acheh, the Islamic territory of Indonesia.
Not sure about Trengganu and Kelantan. To be safe, stay in west coast like Penang, KL, Ipoh, Melaka and JB.Yup, we dont care as long as people keep it in their house.
That may be happening in yr surroundings. For my part, hatred and prejudice still exists and they keep humiliating each other with sensitive words and said they are geli. Worst still, some schools rejected the LGBT people to showcase their talents during the talent night. Still feel that Malaysia needs more progress in this perspective since UK law has already transformed this law ever since 2005. I doubted Malaysia since it took the orthodox approach of UK law ever since the ancient dino- era of Commonwealth. Ed Sheeran and Taylor they are both great celebrities and supportive of LGBT are forbidden from performing. The change is gradual and hopefully good things happen.
@@stevengoh3137 There are always idiots who say childish stuff to piss people. But are you childish to be bothered by what random people say? You should only care about what you think about yourself. Then the opinion of your family and close friends.
The video you showed was in Acheh, not Malaysia, and it's a MISLEADING MISINFORMATION. We couldn't care less about your SEXUAL ORIENTATION as long as you respect our culture and tradition and do not engage in public displays of affection out of respect for others, regardless of whether you're straight or gay. We are a conservative country, and we would like to stay that way, as Western cultures sometimes are corrosive and, in the long run, would bring moral decay to our society.
He cannot find any in Malaysia. That AJazeera probably fake news. Never heard Malaysia has public canning. That Indonesian canning is more like sayang that girl. I heard 1 cane in Malaysia prison enough to KO a person.
I remember Malaysia had done before but it was in the Terengganu state carried out by shariah law. 5 lashes but with padding. So it only affects Muslim not the rest of the population. @@CattleFarmer667
@@munawaralias8980haha! sorry if its not funny for u. These westerners just want to export their sick minds. Cant even say they are shameless like animals cos even animals knows male & females.
Malaysia authority will never arrest gay & trans hanging out on streets or working inside malls. Unless you are PROVEN showing Public Display of Affection (PDA) & sexual activity. And it applies to married or unmarried straights & gays.
And please avoid publicly ‘showcase’ any clear symbolism related LGBT movements or hosting events related to it. Cross-dressing is allowed in public but not in religion & government buildings.
Malaysia 🇲🇾 is beautiful country and beautiful people ❤️ I am gay and I visited Kuala Lumpur 4times the beautiful Malaysian people accepted me for me in the malls hotels and on the street I call it my second home sending ❤️ from Australia
In a country where two human beings are not allowed to show their affection and love for eachother in public is quite ...backwards. Sorry love should be above all. Period
I even have an uncle that was a transvestite ( he passed away few years ago). I am a malay, muslim, a hijabi and Malaysian. Honestly i don't give two hoot about anyone's sexual orientation.
Malaysians do not care about anybody sexual preference. There IS NO LAW against gays or lesbians. ONLY DO NOT flaunt or be loud in your preference in public. Keep it to yourself only.
Gay sex is illegal with jail term n whipping. Rainbow lgbt watch is banned and owning one is also a jail term. Censorship and many discrimination laws n even raids are gay events n parties, what do u mean no laws against gays? 😂
I am now 44. I have seen gays from 80s when i was little until now in malaysia. Nothing happened to them. Because unlike nowadays gays, they were happy enough with their partners. They dont have to be acknowledge. They dont need acceptance from other people. Their spine are solid enough to stand on their own. Current gays or the bigger lgbt community doesnt feel good enough to be happy on their own. The society needs to say they accept them. Malaysia and all other countries even where you come from has the same situation. Where lgbt demands attention and the other straight society doesnt really care. So you can just come here. Be who you are but dont flaunt it. Be happy as you are. Not because you need to be acknowledge. Our time in this world is short. Religion money power properties families partners friends kid. We leave all of it when we leave this world to our final resting place. Just be a good human is enough. Please come again. See other parts of malaysia. We have so much to offer. If you like nature, i recommend going to taman negara. Rainforest that's older than the amazon.
Tourists have more to worry about in the US with the gun violence than they do in Malaysia with the alleged anti LGBT stance. 🙄 You’re honestly just fear mongering for views.
Malaysian muslim here. If you're gay in msia, keyword is: KEEP IT TO YOURSELF & DON'T ADVERTISE YOUR LGBT STUFF. Other than that, ppl won't mind your business. Some msian are openly gay n nobody bothers them. Even authorities. Why? Bc eventhough they're openly gay but also didn't promote or advertise they're gay. Ppl around them might know or guess but didn't bother them at all. Also cross dressing is illegal here. But sometimes you can see the gays are wearing women clothes to work. Depends on the company. Most companies cannot, only very few. But still authorities didn't bother them. The ones i saw was working as cosmetic promoter. The authorities will bother if you make a scene. Like gay parties or lgbt events or sx parties (both straight n gay sx parties are illegal). So if you wanna do stuff, do it in private. Even others don't do PDAs in public. Just respect locals social decorum, you'll be fine.
I am a Malaysian... Pls do not get confused between being gay as an individual and sodomy. Being gay is an individual sexxual orientation which sodomy is an act of sexual engagement which is comstrue as ' abnormal sexual activity' and is not limited to sexual engagememt between individual of same gender. ..it also applies to having sexual intercourse with animals, minors, immediate family members etc.. .. .There is no law in our constitution that incriminate a person for being gay.. If you go to the police and confess to him/her that you are being gay, they cannot arrest you for your difference in sexual orientation.. You can only be arrested if you are found to engage in a behaviour that deemed to be improper. ..ie kissing .oral or anal sexual inter-course etc...
Malaysians are very friendly people, they may not agree with your sexual preference, but they don't hate you for that. You really don't get physically attacked for being gay.
I don’t believe there is a map of Singapore in the video. You might be referring to the flight path map for SQ21 which did pass over the Middle East. But this is a map of the plane’s location, not of Singapore.
First of all, just because something is acceptable in your culture doesn’t mean that it is acceptable in other cultures or that it should be forced upon others simply because you believe it’s ok to do so. While many other religions, or western societies for that matter, have succumbed to lawlessness or immorality doesn’t mean the rest of the world will or should follow. Simply put, when you’re a guest in someone’s house or country, act like it and be respectful. If not, don’t go someplace trying to be disrespectful just because you believe you’re superior to them. Not going to happen.
no kissing allowed...holding hands between men is common here....have you seen bangladeshi and pakistani men holding hands everywhere they go? THEY ARE NIT GAY LMAO
I’ve seen that in Msia (holding hands can be considered normal), but kissing in public rarely happened because Msian usually knows how conservative our cultures are. But of course it acceptable if we are referring to families, siblings or relatives (not in sexual context)
There are many gays in Malaysian society. They work in various job sectors, salespeople, salon workers, bankers, journalists and others. They are always seen together and they prefer to gather among themselves. It's just that in Malaysia there are some rules that you have to follow which are disrespectful behavior in public places, you can't wear women's clothes if you're gay, but the situation is different when you're in an entertainment center like in a disco, night club, bar, lounge and others can be seen they are wearing women's clothes and wearing makeup.
Please respect the law and tradition of the country you would like to visit🫡🫡 All countries ( including yours) hate arrogant, bigot ,loud and rude tourists
I visit Malaysia all the time with my partner as all his family know about us and I am as much thought about as an equal family member with all the family. There is no need for a closet to hide in but just common decency and respect and you'll have a great time with no judgement. Malaysian people are really nice and are very aware of peoples differences and accommodating as long as you respect there cultural differences. There is no problem
Everybody can come. But don't show any love affection in public. Not just for gays people but also for a straight people too. Be respectful and you be ok.
False.Here in Malaysia, it's ok to be whatever you are. I knew a lot of gays in Malaysia and they are living in peace and safe. The restrictions are about being vulgar and the PDA. Don't talk as if you knew Malaysia so well.
I wouldn't say not showing affection in public is "going back into closet", its just a matter of respecting differences between people and not to publicly show it. If you don't eat rat, you don't want people to be eating rate enjoying it right beside you would be an example to understand it easier.
Ur title is misleading.....if ur engage in open or having a wild party involving many people it will violated the law...we also has gay community in Msia...but they kept it for themselve....we welcome anyone to enter or living in Msia
As a gay person, I would never visit Malaysia. The govt even released a guide on how to spot a gay person to report to the authorities. I’d rather much travel to Thailand or Singapore. Anyway, from Apr 2024, Malaysia has bannned Grindr.
It's easy.. Tbh. People don't need to know what your sexualas preferences besides your partner. As Malaysian.. Honestly why do I want to know what people are doing in their bedroom?😭
What apps are you referring to in China? If you're talking about FB and Google, then they left China of their own accord. China asked them to abide by local rules, like keeping data within the country - the same rules which other countries like America insist on (Tik Tok keeps data within America and is still about to be banned). FB and Google would not abide by those basic rules, so they left. Don't talk about things you don't know. And by the way, it is not illegal to be gay in China and you won't get caned or jailed because of that.
Hm? You go to atheistic country like China you also can't openly show your perverted lifestyle in public. We are eastern people with conservative values, not western people.
Its up to u to be who u r in this country, just dont overdo it... u can even download hundreds of gay apps for all i know......we even have gay celebs......dont spread lies if u dont know the vountry well

Agreeing as ethnic Chinese.We have public etiquette.
Just like Qatar said when they hosted the WC2022.
just dont have s*x on the street or public place, it's a common law in every countries, not just Malaysia
What about religious police that harass people in the their private life? What would you say to them? they aren't showing public affection.
no shi sherlock .. people are not fussing over about lgbt people having sex at public area
lol, i remember seeing on news several years ago when a gay couple had sex on their balcony out in the open on a cruise liner parked on the port in some Caribbean country....they were arrested, tried...and they cried the human rights was violated...ummm...you're not in the US

Spot on
Not sure about Trengganu and Kelantan. To be safe, stay in west coast like Penang, KL, Ipoh, Melaka and JB.Yup, we dont care as long as people keep it in their house.
That may be happening in yr surroundings. For my part, hatred and prejudice still exists and they keep humiliating each other with sensitive words and said they are geli. Worst still, some schools rejected the LGBT people to showcase their talents during the talent night. Still feel that Malaysia needs more progress in this perspective since UK law has already transformed this law ever since 2005. I doubted Malaysia since it took the orthodox approach of UK law ever since the ancient dino- era of Commonwealth. Ed Sheeran and Taylor they are both great celebrities and supportive of LGBT are forbidden from performing. The change is gradual and hopefully good things happen.

Malaysia is definitely my second home. Super gay here!
Went to Malaka with my boyfriend. People could not have been nicer. Stick to the right places and you will be greeted with great friendliness.
U can be gay but just do it in your room not in public
Actually even in your own room is illegal in malaysia
