Fyi guys I love malaysia! And that these are just minor reasons ive put together! As everyone had been asking
glad you got PR, was it MM2H programme? congratulation & very much welcome to Malaysia.
We thank you for your insight. Don't hesitate to pinpoint any shortcoming, we learn from each others.
In 🇲🇾.. about insect it's familiar & i think you from another planet..🤭😁🙏
Don't worry only Allah is perfect.❤ please sister use timestamps helps alot
No need to explain Sister. You don't owe anyone anything. We're delightful to have you and your family here, adding this already rich cultures 🙂
I concur re: reasons 3 and 4. My fiancé and I spent a week in KL this April (loved it!), and there is no shortage of really good food, and yes, the waistline grew! To add insult to injury, the good people a Grab Food Delivery make it all too easy to indulge if its too hot or raining cats & dogs outside to go get a bite. For travel, coming from California, the most direct flight is SFO to Singapore which is 16 hours 35 minutes (non stop flight), then another 1 hour flight to KL. Throw in even a modest layover at Changi International and you literally need a whole day to get there or go home. In the end, it is worth it and we hope to come back next year. Lovely place and lovely people :-)
Simple thumb rules... diet before (at home), in MY avoid any scale and mirror, diet after (at home)
Pls come back
@@hadeqhad5474 How true! I spent a fortnight recently in singapore including 3nights in KL. It was a few weeks after hari raya (eid). I ate plates of my favourite raya kuih (cookies) and indulged in the local malay foods that I missed so much. As a result I put on 2kg! I added translations as I'm not sure of your nationality
the rain honestly is so amazing and restful and romantic as long as youre sheltered.
Agree!😊
Play in the rain. Shampoo each other's hair in the rain. As long as there is no lightning and thunder, you'll be fine.
not easy to find people playing in the rain, try ask around as to why 😊
I love the rain and thunderstorm!
Love rain Hate snow.. living here with lot of snow. sun is good. but Rain is farbilouse
Ahhh.... that bring memories. Rains pouring on the zinc or shingles rooftop. MUSIC!!!
Saira ..your complaints are so sweet ...not that you'll suffer worries and sadness because of it.And your being 'willing' to do anything to get that PR..is reason enough for us to pray that you'll succeed sooner or later then we'll really think that you're our bosom sister!
Awww that’s so sweet!
As a Malaysian I love to know what foreigners think of malaysia whether it is negative or positive. That's what Malaysia is like always wanna hear and progress
You are a dreamer !!! Go smoke cannabis !!! I live with reality !!
Never been but i am sure as Muslims we ❤️ Malaysia ❤️
Negative ,, my be casino in johor aktif
@@indrakusumajayaindrakusuma6367casino in johor? Or are you confused with the one at Sentosa Island, Singapore? The so-called casino in to be built in Forest City were cancelled by Johor Royal family. By the way, most of the residents in Forest city were Chinese migrants from China. That was also why the mbak who didn’t hear the adzan cause she stayed there during her visit to Johor.
@indrakusumajayaindrakusuma6367 at least...come here..secara halal ya pak.kemudian baru komen..
It is heaven on earth , my loving country 🇲🇾 Malaysia , believe it or not , Enjoy while stock last , hv a jolly good one 😆👍🏻
I am korean and I travel many countries , and I think malaysia is the best of all country . 100% ❤❤ malaysia .
Your negative points are so cute. Surprisingly, as a malaysian am not offended at all. 😅
Thank you! 😃
I also giggling with all the reason.
@@haslinddamohamadsainan6952 ...menyombong, maaf saya boleh bertulis dlm BInggeris, tapi maleh nak layan orng perasan, cakap banyak.....dia tu afghan...perasan sgt orng UK...suruh dia duduk di afghnistan tu, tau lah dia langit tinggi rendah, i dah travel ke 26 negara, contoh , Sudan, Iran, Syria, iraq, dubai, turkeye, scandinivian countries , summer dirang so hot dari Msia..tapi, i tak ponah sebut 'hate'.....menyampah perasan......
As a Malaysian live in the UK, I totally agree with you. Here in the UK very rarely we see the lightning thunder storm. First time I came here 15 years ago I seen people walk in the rain without umbrellas because the rains here not as heavy like Malaysian rains. I can't wait to go back to Malaysia permanently soon.
Cashless transaction: 1. Solve a daily problem to find coins/change for restaurants. 2. Solve getting a reliable cashiers. Against theft/mismanagement of cash.
But no shops should decline cash.
Yes,and I love cash.It adds to the local culture.
even we Malaysians are struggling to eat less, but what can we do. the foods are so good 😅
I never had that issue with payment. I have been Malaysia twice. Recently in Kuala Lumpur for few days and Kota Kinabalu for 4 days and had never problems. But I don’t know I may have been lucky.
exactly dear.....Msia has the best banking systems
Cashless transactions have nothing to do with the Chinese influence. Malaysia is one of the leading pioneers in Biometrics and RFID systems long before the Chinese in China were allowed to have bank accounts. But the e-transaction business were first popularized by the toll payment systems of Malaysian highways such as SmartTag, TnGo, RFID etc before it spread to other businesses
It is influenced by the communists in China. Clearly you haven't been paying attention. China ( the country) is taking over Malaysia slowly. Thousands of Chinese Nationals coming in suddenly have ICs. Please protect your country or you might not have one soon.
Cronyism at its bright side
As a single person living in Sepang alone, eating out is way cheaper than cooking at home. However, if you do one week of food prep, yes, it will cut your food cost significantly.
Even though im malaysian, no. 5 is not a surprise. Malaysia can be HOT 😂
😂
Malaysia hot weather won't kill you. The humidity will.
@@fauzanriez9472 are you Malaysian? Humidity can be stifling to some but won't kill anybody. Most people will get used to it after a little while
Even in the early morning, i can be sweating just by doing simple house chores. The temp might be around 28c but the humidity killing it.

I seldom used e-wallet, the only toll and parking, I use Touch n Go. Everything else I use cash.
Same with me❤
Eat planning is the serius thing you should do in Malaysia 😅 I advise you to fast to avoid from eating 😉
Recently indulge in intermittent and fat fasting diet. ❤
What's a beautiful life... Enjoyed it❤❤❤
Fair assessment.
Thanks
Wow! You sounded very seriously at the end really knock me down & ❤ it
exactly...piss off
Love U'r content. Gòod luck and all the best living in Msia. This will give the positive side to other people who never know Msia. As a Msian, I'm so grateful to be citizen of this diversity, blessing & beauty land.
I am a retired teacher. I dont have e wallet or qr code for payment. I pay with debit card or cash. To fill petrol in my car I use credit card. For touch n go, I reload using cash at gas stations when I fill my car, thus knowing how much money I have before hitting the motoway. Cheers
In Malaysia most ppl can understand english but not all understand things like sense of humour, sarcasm, irony, etc. And when you say hate they really think you hate the country and will get offended. Another point to add to your list perhaps.
Malaysia is a peaceful country, full of diversity indeed. Still a nice place to stay, but still lackens and need to improve on community engagement programmes.
As a Malaysian myself, I also cannot stand the heat & humidity. It's worst when you suffer hyperhidrosis like me.
The heat IS something to get used too! Someone should invent air-conditioned clothings especially hijab!
I'm in agreement with all of these things. I am coming to Malaysia for my 7th visit and Indonesia on my 4th visit in July so when I always travel to countries in SE Asia or Maldives or Seychelles or Mauritius, I do always do a 2 day stopover at Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha to get to these destinations. As for mozzie repellents, always takes the Jungle Formula one which works well and Citronella mozzie repellents which is free from DEET. The food is delicious and yes you will gain weight if you are not careful.
Malaysia, Maldives and Indonesia are my favourite Muslim countries - there is so much to see and do. I hope that you explore Borneo Malaysia which is seriously unreal. And next time go to Indonesia especially to Lombok
DEET works.
@@byteme9718 Yes it does - I use Jungle Formula which has 50% DEET
gud comments.. sir...
I'm a M'sian. I can never get used to the heat and humidity. And I'm always complaining about the insects 😂
I wore dry free shirts so I could be drenched in a while and then the weather dry up my shirt in minute. Local insects won't trouble local so much as foreigners blood is tastier😂. What I meant by foreigner goes to town people that goes camping to a jungle site too😂
I am malaysian malay and I shower at least 3 to 4 times a day. It is custommary for malays to take shower at least twice a day - must do b4 going out in the morning and in the evening.
All hawker that selling cooked food must have a tifoid injections and must have the Health Department Clean Foody Certificate. Insyallah the food here is very clean
Please edit your message it's worded in a confusing way
A typhoid jab has little bearing on basic food hygiene.
You are really a positive being! That song by Gloria Gaynor was really meant for you!
As Malaysian the most I hate is crazy hot humidity, I cannot stand of that..
As a Malaysian, I strongly dislike the abundance of QR codes, especially since not all e-wallets can utilize the same QR code. It's incredibly frustrating.
Agree
Aa ah betul ada ke gi 2 keping roti canai nak guna qr leceh bebeno dah laa kita ni old school so nak mkn luar kalo takde anak² balik jerlah masak jer intant noodle letak telur.. #apamasalahcash
Pulak. Sy lbh suka qr. Xsuka bwk cash. Smpai sunggah bli aiskrim anak kt kedai pn pkai qr. Hehe
Aaahh betul. Saya & hubby ni very old schoooolll 😅😅😅😅😅.
Kami xde online banking. Hubby... tiada CCard pon. 😊😊😊
At least saya ada juga cc utk shopping lazada 😂😂 yg bukn byr cara paywaive.
Jst come to india …One qr code multiple apps
Spot on! Fair assessment 👍
I was expecting this video to be negative due to the title 😅 but actually, it was a lot of positives and useful advice for those intending to come to Malaysia. I came back to Malaysia from the UK in 2009, and you're right, I think I've gained weight😂 but what I miss about the UK is the spring, just when the flowers start to bloom, and the chocolates 😊
The rain helps the farmers .. in a certain way... And it also chills down city center...
Loving the lightings & thunderstorm? Hmm..now that you've put it like that, I'll see if I am able love them too 😂
😂😂😂
@@SairaHayatibut please do take the necessary precautions during thunderstorms or the pending signs of it coming.
Very informative video. Thank you!
Before you start the list, I already guess that FOOD for sure in your list lol hahaha!. Yes, it love and hate at the same time.. I think, most of us does have similar experience over buying groceries, later on , spoiled in freezer. Even the eggs and chicken, sitting in fridge for long long time, later on thrown away with disapointment feeling and bitter at heart, such a waste.
I mean control how u spend money and don't buy groceries if u eat out simple
@@Car_Fanatic no. it doesnt meant we were extravagant spending or lack of control. Technically, if we do cook at home by ourselves, you can save very very very much money. in example, for a single person, buying half kg or 2 complete chicken thigh its only about RM 7 - 8. Cut it to 4 portion, it may last about 2 day of meal with rice. A dosen 12's egg grade a or b, about rm11, may last over 5-6 day . with only less than RM30 for 5, 6 days cost depend on your tummy.. somehow due to busy working and outing, we just eat whenever wherever were free end up use double or triple the cost even quadraple. cooking actually can save alot of money, but really time consuming, thats why some thrownaway does happen several time.
@mysticdreamworks you are very polite and kind may God bless malaysia. One thing to note is. For example 2kg of organic boneless skinless chicken breasts here costs roughly 160 malay MYR. And for me that last 1 week. But for normal people they probably eat 1kg of chicken breast's a week.
For a foreigner eating out daily compared to back home is cheap.
Btw I recommend you buy an instant pot it's so amazing for cooking fast and easy. This is the world's best and fastest pressure cooker for a good price.
Or a crock pot. This is a slow cooker
I cook rice in an instapot in 20 min. Chicken breast in stew or curry etc in 30 min. And it comes out so tender and soft. And I put it in the fridge and everyday take some chicken and sauce and it's still juicy because the sauce prevents the meat from drying.
But yes this is boring. But that's why i eat out on weekends for fun
But when one day I live in malaysia inshallah I will just eat out daily or hire a chef to cook for us on the weekend meals.for the week then leave it in the fridge then heat up. Or cook for 2 days only idk
No 1 mosquito ? No such thing
2. Yes, there's a problem....
3. No problem
4. Get used to it
5. Get used to it
😊
Somebody has waken up on the wrong side of the bed.
Ummm dengue, chikungunya? Very real from my experience
Mosquito a lot la, dont drink too much ketum bro brain clouded already
Actually looking behind her, definitely she's got mosquitoes. The pest type. Big scratchy ones. They love the bush like env
@@rushdrift you sound an addict
asslickers
Assalam. With a little bit of adjustment, you'd be alright living here dear Sis. I'm a Malaysian and used to live overseas with 4 seasons for many years. Yes it was at first a bit "difficult" upon returning, to live and work here, but it's all up to what exactly your heart really seeks after. Stay grateful to Allah, with IMAN & HEALTH to continue to please Him, always.
Barak Allahu fiki.
yess sir, always be grateful to Almighty...
good points
Adaptability and a positive mindset for your safety gets you anywhere. Whether its a 18hr trans Atlantic flight, -16 Minnesota winters, exotic foods...the world has it all. Mine happens to be Malaysia. Good thing you mentioned about the sugar content as many food and beverage orders can be done with 'kurang gula' (less sugar)
Im fine with 36°C 😂. Its better than 44/48°C here where i live.
We have no rain almost. I would be happy if it pour down most of the year.
Where do u live right bow
@@amirism91 India.
India is best visited February to April
Glasgow scotland rains 250 days a year. I would be glad to never see rain again.
Past 40 degrees Celsius it is too hot but 36 degrees with 80% humidity is really unpleasant like being in a sauna whereas 36 degrees with 20% humidity is doable as long as not in the sun.
For the weather, you are a bit unlucky because this year is the worst climate problem in South East Asia..the nations were hit with extreme weather (El nino effect) that results to excessive heat since early 2024. It never happen before for such a long period.
I really enjoy your feedback on the 'not so good' factors about staying here in Malaysia. Agree to all the five factors, and I think life in Malaysia evolved around the weather and our proximity to China and India as our culture is very much influenced by these two giant countries
I hate mosquitoes that's why i live in a condo, zero mosquitoes, zero ants, zero insects, you can open the window 24 hours no problem 😄
Your Starling card has no conversion fees and superior exchange rates. It is the no 1 UK card to use in Malaysia.
Assalamualaikum Sis...hope u n family be strong dan semoga sentiasa di berkati Allah Aamiin🇲🇾🤝✌️🤲👍😃
Looking to relocate after watching your videos. From London originally and moved out to a village near Stansted Airport. Not cutting it. Inshallah MM2H opens up.
oohh I see , she is from Stansted......hummm.....
Try to open a saving account in a bank in Malaysia. And you can use the debit card for buying goods in supermarket, etc. Should be no problem when making transaction 😊😊
Malaysia, a colourful life..tq for coming to our country
Thank you for loving Malaysia. The issues you raised are indeed the shortcomings of our country. We have a lot to improve and look forward to more progress in the future.
Saira! Very helpful. Thank you so much!
amazing woman....enjoy and have a pleasant relocation to malaysia
We appreciate ur valuable advice, shall try to act upon.
Hi sister saira, we have come Across your CZcams videos during Ramadan, all the content you put up on the channel resonates with myself, we are looking to come to Malaysia this year during the summer holidays, where do you think would be an ideal stay, if we like it we will be looking to move there permanently.
Key word here "adapt"...., for a rest let it be,..well done sister 🎉❤
Absolutely love Malaysia 🇲🇾❤ currently here travelling and feel so at home and welcomed!! Beautiful country
The weather will get better. It's freakingly hot this year. I remember 33° peaks and 23° in the mornings. I use to drive around with the windows down.
Hot weather is not normal right now. It should be 32 max 33. But now we have El Nino. This is not normal weather in malaysia.
yess...agreed wth u ..so wat her fussed about...
I've been to Malaysia 4 times already and I enjoyed all my visits. I love the food very much. I'm planning to visit again this year.
its ok. you ll be fine someday.❤
They have been around for millions of years, so have ever considered what they think 🤔
😆 I think the complaint is only about TnGo. Others are just sweet and sour opinion for Malaysia. We know you love our country ❤
The weather is humid for just the summer and monsoon. The winter months are really pleasant
Winter?
Summer? Eh?
What winter months
Malaysia don't have winter, just summer all the times.
I am Malaysian living in the USA for over 40 years. Planning to move back and retire in a kampung in Perak . I will have to learn to live with the mosquitoes and monkeys… hopefully not the Malayan Tigers. We got phytons and cobras… so insects is not so bad I guess… lol
Moh le balik,yeop

As a Malaysia.. SYUKRAN 💖🇲🇾
Thanks for sharing ❤ lovely.
On number 4, if the distance is the problem, u have made good decision to make malaysia home 😊
Very well described 👍
I lived in Kuala Lumpur with my wife for almost 3 years.
Living standards are pretty fine the only thing was getting professional visa or getting it renewed, this is SERIOUS ISSUE
Don't come anymore, just stay in UK, when i was in Malaysia & England, i never ever complain anything about food or weather.Thus, i am extremely enjoyed whenever on holidays.
Your daughter having a baby? You look too young to be a granny 😅😊

1) When I buy petrol, I top up TnG card. Usually RM30 for petrol, RM20 for TnG. Use the RM50 note which the ATM spews out.
2) Many countries to are close by this part of the world - Japan, HK, Korea, Australia, NZ, etc.
Unless you are walking around the city or the countryside on foot from 10am to 3 pm shooting a video for YT, the 36° C and humidity are tolerable because in the homes you are either under fans or with ac. Step into the car for office, schools etc , you are in ac again. Offices/ indoor workplaces have ac and fans. Drive back home in ac again. Taxis , buses and trains have ac. Going out usually will be in late afternoon or evening when it is cooler -but then malls , shops and restaurants have fans and ac. I think that is how the general population cope except for some😂
Apply for it😄😄.. my dear sis
Alhamdulillah. Great to hear all the 5 hates about Malaysia. You'll get used to it. The many wonderful things about Malaysia will bury them. Enjoy your stay here!
I love your comment really educate those who are about to travel to Malaysia. ❤
Malaysian weather literally is quite blessing.. average between 26°c - 32°c, except El-Nino experiencing right now otherwise towards July till January next year will be the cooling season as monsoon is coming up..
It's also a blessing humidity to make your skin moist as an anti-aging and helping to get rid of some toxins too..
Don’t get used to mosquitoes. They can kill. Malaria is not a problem here but Dengue is. Make sure you don’t have standing puddles of water in your garden
I assume you're using grab as well - you can also start using their ewallet as well to have a second wallet to use. That Fintech is also going into digital banking so maybe you maybe be able to access that (not sure what's the criteria for non-Malaysians) to set up a savings account. TNG btw is introducing a debit Visa-based card so you can also have a quasi crédit card to use for payment

Assalamualikum Saira, I have been following you, you are hillarious! I reside in US right now, but planning to be back in Malaysia for good. I agree with everything that you hate about Malaysia! I will have to adapt to the heat once I am back now that I have lived in US for 25 years.
It's a great place to live ,great food , good climate and like any other country, you CANT BE COMPLACENT!
11:34 The best place is in Taiping, Perak. It's amazing there because it rains a lot due to the active rain catchment area. The weather is always cool and never too hot.
I think humidity is the problem in south East Asia
And I think the same problem for all countries along the equator.
It's not a problem. It's just how it is.
@@mars1plutowell it a problem.
Paying by wave is one of the ways that we use credit/debit cards.

Thank you so much 😊
At least in the UK any grand daughter wouldn't be subjected to FGM like in Malaysia.
@@byteme9718There’s no FGM in Malaysia. It’s not an Islamic thing
Thank you for your feedback,feel free to expressing about any dissatisfaction,hope all the problems will be solved.
as a Malaysian, I agree about the insects especially mosquitoes. That's just an issue to the majority of South East Asia countries 😂 because of the climate.
14:32 "The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him. He sends thunderbolts, striking with them whoever He wills. Yet they dispute about Allah. And He is tremendous in might" Quran 13:13
The only thing I dislike about Malaysia is the Hot Weather (beside the Government - LOL). Whenever I come back home for holidays I no longer can adjust to the hot weather.
The hot weather is really challenging. That's why we avoid going out after 12 p.m. because most people are in the mall at that time.
Insects! Couldn't agree more. Especially mosquito 🦟. As for weather, the high humidity is certainly uncomfortable. Also plenty of thunderstorms 😅
The mesh doors are called a flyscreen
My grandma in Aloq Staq calls it Jala
Even we malaysian always complaint about the heat and humidity in malaysia..
😂😂
My advice for the tourist especially who come from cold country and not used to shower or wash daily, please shower at least twice a day when you are in this country because you will be sweating so much and cause some odour problem for people around you. You might not smell it but other people do.
Charcoal ash for ants … around your apartment.
Interesting! Thanks
