Malaysians, in my opinion, are generally very reserved because we respect others' privacy. We don't intentionally approach strangers with excessive friendliness because we don't want to arouse unnecessary suspicion, but once we're being approached and are aware of their intentions, we can be very amiable.
Perfectly said.
Thanks for your input there Noordin :) thanks you 🏆
Yes true. Betul tu. Bukan tak pasal pasal ganggu. We dont disturb stop them just for selfie
True! if someone approach me with excessive friendliness, immediately i think they want to sell something or ask for my money. 🤣
@@Zuqney - Yeah, only salespeople do that in order to promote their products. 😄
Malaysian friendly but generally bit shy if talk to strangers.....
But with smile and happy face... they maybe turn up becoming your friend in short time....
Good contents...
Keep it up this good works....
Thanks champ 🏆 I’m glad you enjoy it
Most of Malaysian are friendly...As you can see they smiling at you..Sometimes say hello .
Even not all the time ...As long as you feel comfortable here..That's much better..
Thanks Ennie. We feel super welcome in Malaysia also in KL 😃 it’s super nice and we’re loving the food 🤤
friendly or not friendly? It depends on who you interview. if he is an introverted person, (whose mind is always thinking of money money money) his answer is more likely similar to the response of the Ipoh Chinese guy. while when you interviewed the cheerful person, their answer would definitely be more positive.
I think KL is very friendly, much more than a lot of large SE Asian cities or most European/US/Australian big cities. People are helpful and willing to engage in conversation, and it helps that most people speak fluent or close to fluent English. I don't think KL is dangerous, but I did personally witness a lady having her handbag snatched by 2 guys on a motorbike close to the Masjid Jamek LRT station at about 6.30pm. That is the most common crime I hear about in downtown KL.
Ow wow, thanks for sharing that story. Hopefully the police caught the 2guys! Have a wonderful evening
@@Chai_Travel Thanks Chai. That happened back in late 2019. I doubt they were ever caught. When the police came, they told me there are many gangs involved in this trade & usually using stolen bikes. Generally targetting ladies with expensive handbags. Always enjoy your content. Safe travels anyway.
Yup
Snatch theft is common theft not only in KL, but most of the parts of Malaysia.. So, take care of your personal belongings everywhere you go..
No way Malaysians are friendlier than Aussies. I lived in Malaysia for 20 years, 18 years now in Australia. Aussies definitely more friendly bunch.
Lets say you have a walk around your suburb, they will always say G'day or Hello how are you even when they don't know you, and it's with a smile.
In Malaysia people just walk straight. When trouble happens, everyone just takes out their phones to record.
@@84jordieit’s different imo. I’m Aussie but been to Malaysia a few times, Aussies are definitely less reserved and more extroverted but can also be hostile and violent with very little provocation. I find in Malaysia the people kind of mind their own business abit more but I don’t think that’s necessarily them not being friendly but just more reserved, however once you break the ice pretty much every person I’ve met in Malaysia is very friendly and humble.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I feel in general, d people in Malaysia, either from d urban or d rural areas r approachable n quite friendly.
What, I'm 1st again, champion, hehehe.
🏆 haha thanks mate! You are 🏅 we feel super welcome here. Thanks for watching again 😁
@@Chai_Travel Hahaha. 😁
I think the second guy took the question a bit literally. Malaysians don't really say hi or hello to other people on the street. That's true. But if u strike up a conversation, people can jump in if they're not so reserved. Saying hi is probably not something we do. But we do respond to random conversations, as long as ur not trying to sell us something! Then we'll ignore u like the plague 😆
agree, TOTALLY!!! 🤣
I think actually he is the one who is less friendly 😂
@@fiffychannel less friendly but not totally unfriendly... 🤭
In Malaysia, we don't randomly say hi to people on streets. but it is our culture to smile (from the 90's to 00' our government did a campaign (about smiling to each other) and put a skit in our local television asking our nation to smile to each other and then it become's our culture, 'senyum itu budaya kita' remember the song?)
and from what i notice, they do it with a little bit of ' head nod' while smiling. it is like our way of saying hi 🤣
😂😂 terasa tua lah pula
3:45 hahahaha... that guy is correct, we don't go and say hello to strangers on the streets, but we will stop and help when asked.
7:04 she's right. 😁
Nice one Weee ❤️🏆
Another practical topic for all would be tourists who's thinking about visiting Malaysia.
Malaysia is one of the friendliest and safest cosmopolitan in Asia if you ask me. Every country have their fair share of crimes, and one needs to do their homework on areas that should be avoided and everything will be good. Enjoy KL without fear or prejudice Chai!😆✌️
Another excellent video. Cheers champ 🤩
Thanks mate 😃 it was great to walk around town. Thanks for watching again 🏆
Malaysian normally do not say hello to each other but we smile to each other as a form of greetings/acknowledgement. If you smile back we know you are friendly too. But if you don't smile back we assume you do not want to be disturb or not comfortable with us for whatever reason.
Nice one :) thanks for sharing that ☺️ have a wonderful day 🫶🏼
I got a massage yesterday. One of the worker is Indonesian. She suddenly cry after a few word with me. I asks why. She said she just came to Malaysia and suddenly misses her family there. I told her, it is normal feeling as they are far apart. She told me, for few days she here, Malaysians help her a lot. Someone even pay for her grab fee, someone help her to buy food as she didnt know the area yet.
I guess we have some spot heart on us when we see someone in trouble. Asks for their help and they are willing to help you with smile.
Thank you for sharing that ❤️ Thanks for watching 🤗
i think other's Malaysian in rural area are more shy rather not to be friendly.. bcoz me also, sometimes english is not very well to them to speak with tourist or foreigner from others part.wish you have nice day in Malaysia.
Thanks matey😁 I’m glad you’re enjoying the content
I think it depends on the place, since there are people I know don't really mind the language barrier.
So I get it, that saying hello randomly is not the city culture unless you want to ask questions from strangers. Easy going and warm nature in social environment. 😀
I love malaysia from Bangladesh ❤
We don't say hello much. We just look and smile only.
We are friendly not because we want your money.
Chai perhaps it s a good idea if u can widen the scope by visiting other cities like bandar melaka, seremban, ipoh, kucing, kotakinabalu or malaysia scenic islands. Im sure u ll have a different vibe from visitors there.
I’d love to travel more in Malaysia for sure. Hopefully I’ll cover more of it soon again 😁 cheers
Again you made up a great content bro
Thanks so much :) have a great evening
Thank you chai for the video
Thank you ❤️
KL definitely seems like a wonderful city, enjoyed watching the video. Have a good rest of your day.😃
Thanks champ! Man, definitely a must go to place while in Asia 🤩 have a beautiful one
I agree with the 2nd guy that Malaysians wont just say hello to you as a stranger but generally quite friendly. We are more reserved but that doesnt mean we are not friendly
Malaysian generally friendly. Alhamdulillah
For the first guy, under malaysian law, a worker are not allowed to work more than 12 hour a day, and no more than 72 hour per week, and in a week must have 1 rest day unless if he choose to work on his rest day but still no more than 72 hour per week even if he wanted too, His boss could be fine.
Wow, still 72 hours per week is a lot 😳 but it’s good that there at least some laws for it. He might work for two companies?
Friendly , oh I think for sure 👌 - everyone happy to speak with you 😃👋👍🙏
Super friendly mate. I hope you’re well 😃 and have an amazing evening 😃🤩🏆 cheers
I'm smiling right here..do you see me? haha..nice video bro ✌🏻😁
Haha I see you! Thanks for watching 😃
Love u bro
❤️
Thank you for the video. Hope you like stay in Malaysia. From Sabah.
Thank you 😁
Talking about snatch theft perhaps that is a remote case, M'sia is safe and and very hospitable people. Enjoy your stay 😍
Klang say hello...😅😅😅
Klang is not for human..
I think that guy that you mate first is not a Malaysian bro,the way he spoken we can understand.
There's some place at night where it's not safe but mostly most people will know about it to stay away.
Chai i have a question. How is the police do they arrest the teenagers because I heard that if your visa expired and you are walking around they will arrest you is that true ?
Im not to sure about this subject 🤔 I guess Imigration will do something about it.
If people perceived you as a tourist and not a scammer or a conman look alike, you're pretty well accepted and befriended. They do look at you from head to toe at times not b'cos of your look, your wealth or your way of dressing but just a quick assessment to determine the risk level in dealing with a stranger in particularly foreigner (also depends where they come from like wealthy or poorer country). Generally in the country side, people are much poorer, living a simple life and are more open to stranger and so less likely meeting with someone with bad intention (nothing to take away from them anyway). Just my 2 cents opinion haha.😛
How about USA..how about UK or another Europe city..
I'm from KL, born-raise-get married-having family..til now, i'm still stuck in KL! 😅 🤪
As for me, generally KL is a safe city... Born & living in KL for 41 years, i never have an experience of facing any theft, or being rob by the robbers, or get snatched by bad guy... But, still i need to aware and be careful whenever i go to anywhere especially in the night hours....
Glad you haven’t! Haha but we better be safe than sorry 😜
@@Chai_Travel you are right....better safe than sorry...exactly! 😁👍
Malaysians are nice, but aren't the friendliest when you compare to the Phillipines or Indonesia. I'm Malaysian.
Yes snatch theft is an issue
😮💨
i heard that it is far lesser nowadays.. but that's what i "heard", as i did not come across any statistics to say it is really so.
i myself was a victim to snatch theft some 15 years ago, in pj areas, nearby paramount lrt station. i didnt lose any of my belongings though, but i had to go to the hospital for a checkup to make sure everything is ok. luckily only bruises on my face and arm, but it still took me weeks to heal. an experience i wish i didnt have.😅
South america more alot snatch theft compare malaysia
You look south asian, I think you can blend in Malaysia very well especially with the Indians plus your name is Chai 😅
Hahah, thanks! I’m half Indonesian half Dutch 😜
@@Chai_Travel ohh no wonder 👍🏼
After watching this clip I kept thinking about the song " To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia, people smiling everywhere showing you that they care.!"
hi Anje 😍 haha Nice! I never heart the song I have to look it up. thanks for watching again ❤️
no i dont think so, unless your the king
hmmm
Cai bb you still up in kl
I don't really feel KL is friendly. Someone tried to steal my things at Sunway.
I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully that won’t happen to you again
at last...while foreigner give good opinion for malaysia..locals make a bad scene
No one rejected... because you approached all Malaysians...? 😉
Haha ;)
Migrant workers come here to work. They have little interaction with Malaysians except co workers and bosses. So it is not a useful thing speaking to them regarding the city.
😪
It depends in which sector they are in. If they're in the service sector where there's a lot more interactions with the public they're likely to be more appreciative of Malaysian.
Hmmm I like to talk to everyone and I think the gentleman added some nice conversations :)
I'm not gonna say hello to someone i don't know on the street though. That is not a defination of friendly....Enough with a smile I think. Just my 10cents opinion.
Noted. Thanks for your input
Is the first person a malaysian?
No he is from Bangladesh :) I always show where they are coming from in the beginning of each interviews
That guy isn't wrong to say it's not in the Malaysian culture to say "hi" on the street or chat up strangers, especially in the city. There's the Asian view that westerners are bold & friendly, so people treat them differently than with locals, so locals may be more willing to say "hi" to westerner tourists. As for safety, I will also agree with the guy with glasses because there have been news reports of "broader crime" & vehicle theft in Malaysia. Also, a Malaysian guy said that if there's a robbery going on, the police will just look the other way. And for public housing, the entire lift carriage is stolen. That lady who said that snatch theft happens "everywhere, that's just your luck".... well, she should travel to other countries where it doesn't happen.
He is a migrant lol.
Hello Chai 😄 Great interview video you will always get friendly and unfriendly people in every country. I always smile at people say hello and some just look and stare at you lol. Thank you for sharing Take Care Stay Champ
That’s right 🥰 luckily more friendly than unfriendly everywhere. Haha as long as we keep smiling we’re doing it right 😋😊 have a beautiful day Sue ❤️ cheers
