Another reason why most Malaysians are quickly gaining weight: our friendliness towards guests culture. When you visited someone's house, they'll keep insisting you to eat and eat and eat until your belly is full, especially during festivities. And it's hard to say "no" when it comes to food.

Confession time. I was 75 when I was in Australia. I ballooned to 110 after staying in Malaysia for 4 years.

It okay Aki you are not the only one Lets just enjoy eating foods in Malaysia if we cant escape from Diet 😂

you do look chubby but 75kg is a standard weight for 180cm man, no worry Aki, you good 😚👍🏼

Malaysian style greeting “hello! Sudah makan?” “Sek bao Mei?” “When free go yum cha” “jom pergi mamak” Malaysian daily headache “ what to eat?” “I’m driving so I’m not gonna decide, u guys decide what to eat!” Malaysian habit : while having breakfast we r discussing wht to hv for lunch/ Discussing abt the weekend road trip, driving few hours just to eat something. 😂😂😂😂😂

仮想通貨で結構儲かったのでコロナが終わったらマレーシア移住するつもりです！アキさんの動画でマレーシア移住の予習しまくってます😍

When i went to Japan, everyone is really slim and skinny! My presumption is Japanese eat a healthy foods and in a small portion. That's not the case in Malaysia! malaysia foods has a high sugar level and really oily. But it's delicious , that's why its hard to resist. But I do wish Malaysia can reduce obesity rate!

Our food are awesome and affordable

Two of our residing Japanese superiors came here and gained 20kg. It took him 2 years to realise 'lemak' means fat :)

Gemuk ke kurus Tak apa.Yang penting sihat😜😀

It's really tough to diet in Malaysia

Why you want to lose your weight? You look fine and perfect! Not to fat and not to thin. For me you are OK !!!!!!

Wow, your height is very high. I can agree that obesity rate is quite serious in Malaysia. Now I know why Malaysian residing in Japan say 'Aa, I miss nasi lemak, etc." Eh, you also like nasi lemak. Yes, for me living here in Japan for 6 years, I can see many residents use bicycle and walking. Wow, so that is why my malaysian friend also say about "It is very hot in Malaysia, so need to walk?" Oh man, 3 times faster than KL people. However, it is glad to hear that your stomach problem now is gone. Looking forward for another video.

Adding to culture part, I can say food is too integral to our nationhood too. You might hear about how some races have fight with other races in Malaysia, but when someone once said rendang must be crispy, the whole nation regardless of races was united in fury. Plus, really Malaysian mixes with other cultures through things like clothes, language and FOOD. But did you had the durian this time around?

In Malaysia, we don't ask "how are you?" We ask whether you have eaten. If you have, everything is good in the world. If not, you will be shown concern. And might be invited to a meal. I have gastroenteritis, I lost 10kg in the beginning of MCO due to extreme stress.

Aki is from Nagano, a prefecture with record of highest life expectancy in Japan, and one of the top in the world mainly due good health management. Aki is risking that record by working in Malaysia.. hehe...

With 180 height & 75kg, you good Aki! Regular light exercise, good company, peace of mind should be enough, be happy, be healthy Aki!

I’ve been ‘stuck’ here in Malaysia all year (actually I’m avoiding going back to my own country). I’ve definitely noticed that Malaysians constantly drink sugary drinks, whether it’s sugary tea/coffee, fruity drinks, soda, etc. At all the food centers I eat at (2-3 times a day) I’m usually the only white guy and I’m the only person who seems to order a bottle of water to drink with meal. All that Milo, beer, milky tea, colorful juices contain so much sugar and calories🥤 so, yes, skip the drinks unless it’s water.

Japanese company should do more employee exchange program with their overseas offices/company. Japanese can come Malaysia to learn the more relaxing way/time out and gain some weight while Malaysian can go Japan to be more motivated, get training and to lose weight. Cultural exchange. 0.5 year to 1 year rotation.

If aki has to go back to Japan later i wonder if he can adapt back to Japan.

Your reasons for why it's so hard to be thin is totally right Aki. I stayed in Penang after graduation almost two years & gained 10-20 kgs. KL is also bustling w a lot of good food, but Penang is really the start of my gluttony....hope to shed some kgs in future

You're so positive in this video, Aki-san. As usual, you were objective to compare yourself before and now. Just give us some time to get used to the not-so-skinny look. Loved the last part punch-line 😃😃

Aki: After 2 years living in Malaysian gain 15kg Malaysian: 3 months of MCO gain half of that value...

Yeah that's true... Its hard to be thin... Plus if you leave in penang...

"hot weather.. and convenience transportation.. will make u lazy as hell" haha I laughed out loud !

Bicycle or walk in Msia? Its hot and sweaty..If Msia weather as cold as Japan, I would ride bicycle daily.

“Eat less delicious food” ,,, that is really impossible when you live with your mom or foodies roommates 🤣🤣🤣..

Well, of course, Malaysian food are full of additional sugar. Even, the sambal in Nasi Lemak use half pack or 1 pack of sugar to smoothen the spiciness.

Akiさんの advice on how to stay fit in Malaysia: 1) Try not to eat too much delicious food 2) Walk on your own foot covering yourself with sweat 3) Don't be too relax Thennnn......also Akiさん: Which I think is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE though..... Hahahahaha.....I can't stop laughing...Akiさんは私たちをよく知っています.....

I'm a Malaysian and I approve what Aki has said in this video 😂 stay healthy Aki.😃👍

Malaysia may did the impossible when it comes to covid 19. But when it comes to food. It really impossible. Haha

That is true. Here in Malaysia, we never say "I don't feel like eating." We only say "I don't feel like eating (name of the food)." There's always a food you wanna eat on that particular day. Hence, why Malaysians always find the question "Nak makan mana? (Where are we gonna eat?)" REALLY frustrating.

"which is almost impossible"....ngl i kinda agree with this statement...... accept for those "ringgan tulang" people which literally do all the work through the hot weather in malaysia which i respected just how hard they still work with the weather in malaysia

All of that is true😂😂😂As a Malaysian myself,I always felt like it is imposssible for me to lose weight.Wish me luck😊 Well,it is a good news that you manage to gain weight in a healthier way.

はじめまして、初コメントです。1年ほど前から登録していますが、マレーシアの状況などがわかり勉強になっております。あきさんの英語素晴らしいですね。自分は中国語は出来るのですが、英語もここまで上達したいです。頑張って下さい。この動画をスロー再生して英語の勉強してみます😃

I visited Tokyo for 10 days in 2014(?) I probably walked more in that week than I did in my entire life from birth to that point. The weather is extravagant(fall), air is crisp and clean and every single view is beautiful and picture perfect. I could not take a bad photo. Even a picture of a road junction looks professional, I was just using a phone camera.

It's cute how you go "OK lah" 😂 I gained 15 kg in Malaysia too. 75 kg for your height is not fat at all! Checked your first few videos and you do look healthier now!

Also usually, the first question when we meet other people is “Kau dah makan?”, “Dah makan belum?” (Have you eaten?). Sometimes before we start/after we’ve done our activities we’ll just go eat then we’ll go back home with full stomach

Omg. The 3rd point very related to me. I’m working in Japan right now. Working late everyday. My stomach start to mad at me recently. いいな~マレーシア、帰りたい。

Thank you so much to comment it in positive way, We are not lazy, just quite relaxing 😂😂😂😂

I had a friend from Somalia who studied here. She got diabetes from eating too many sweet things in this country. I know it's a sad thing, but I couldn't help being amazed(?).. amused(?) when I heard about it. Our food could either be the best or the death of us.. 😅

Aki : I gained 15kg after staying 2years in Malaysia Me : *gained 9kg during MCO >~

Healthy body come from positive and relaxs mind so balance lifestyle is important in Malaysia. Btw if you want diet in Malaysia is quite difficult things absolutely hard 😂😂😂

Malaysian only walk so much when they're on travel to other country like Korea, Japan, Aussie lol because the weather so nice. but back in KL less than 2k steps per day.. lol.. less active and eat a lot yummy food

I love the way u deliver your speech. It's like listening to a news LOL. I'm not complaining though.. Your way of delivering is very informative and firm.. 😂 Anyway thank you for loving Malaysia 🇲🇾 ♥ Aki, try to talk more about Japanese anime and drama or anything related to Japan in your next video. 😉

I'll treat you to a very nice authentic restaurant if we happen to have the chance to meet =) へへへ

your english definitely became better good job

I crawled out of that addiction once. I used to drink milo every time my family took me to eat out. Over time I switched milo with tea and soon I rarely even drank drinks with milk. ...and now I'm drinking a lot of sweet drinks again! ;-; Still no milo though

I was 65kg when I'm at Singapore. I'm now 80kg after living in Malaysia for 2 years T.T

私はマレーシア出身で、新宿と池袋でシェフとして働いてきました。動画を見るのが大好きです。マレーシアについてのストーリー。ありがと

Well that kind of hit the point.. Hahahaa... Dun worry aki, as long as u feel healthy that is fine though.. U are 180cm, so 75kg is pretty normal.. No need to worry..

マレーシアに旅行行きたいなぁ

Your English sounds so fluent💚💚💚💚💚

I guess why malaysian(KL)people don't walk so much... 1.traffic plans are completly made for cars and it makes quite hard to move in the city for walker. 2.As malaysia is tropical climat so we often encounter heavy rain and lightning. 多分マレーシアの人が歩きたがらないのは… 街が車中心に作られてて少し移動するだけでも信号待ちしなきゃならなかったり、そもそも渡る場所がないから向かいの場所に行くだけでも遠回りしなきゃならないことがあるから、歩いてどこかに行くのが鬱陶しくなる。 のとか… しょっちゅう大雨が降って町中大洪水になって爆撃にあったかのような雷が鳴るからおちおち出掛けてられない。 のが大きいかと💦

Malaysia is a heaven place for food... u can find food everywhere at anytime.. 😘

I watch the whole pantene ad while reading the cooments.. xD you still look good, aki. No worries..

Hi Aki...i like your channel very much. I' m

I generally enjoy walking, and Malaysian weather is bearable sometimes, just that the sidewalk and pavement is not making it convenient/safe to walk or cycle in city (though they start to improve it segment by segment. Of course I couldn’t compare like how I enjoy walking in between 代々木上原駅 to 笹塚駅 effortlessly. Tokyo specifically has an excellent network that reduced Last-Mile problem, while Klang Valley still struggling with that. P/S: Out of context, 76 really did a good job to your hair.

wow...thanks for sharing...very helpful....👍👍

I actually would love to walk or cycling to work but KL is not a very walkable city, and with the (dangerous) way many motorists are driving their vehicles here, it can be quite risky to ride a bicycle. Not to mention many people live far away from work outside of 'acceptable' walking distance. That's why many just chose to drive a car or ride a motorcycle instead of walking/cycling. As the saying goes; if you can't beat them, join them.

You seriously look in a good shape now. Stay healthy always~ btw, i think it's okay tho since you are tall.

75 is chubby? 😅 no its not.. It actually what most of us wish to have 😂

come to Terengganu you can see alot of people cyling expecially at night

Chinese food, malay food, indian food, western food .. Malaysia trully asia...🇲🇾🇲🇾😍😍👍👍👍

Im a mom with two kids, trust me..During pregnancy, nurse ask me to fast..because i ate waay to much, gain way too much...urmmm😂

英語の発音、聴きやすいし、キレイですね😃

you shall now be called chubbaki

😂😂😂 So i hope you gain weight in the positive ways.. Just enjoy your life in Malaysia.. Avoid stress.. Just lay back

昨晩友人と丁度この話をしていて、朝Akiさんの動画を見たのでタイムリーすぎて笑ってしまいました😂 友人と話してた際はまともな理由が出てこなかったんですが、この動画で納得しました（笑）

wow ur understanding Malaysia so good👍

Good analysis!

Akiさんの英語勉強なります🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Aki you make me scroll back your previous video to see how you look like 2yrs ago.

adi neb no lah aki ,you look so fresh and healthy.. 75kg standard for 180cm is ok la aki..no worry ..you look good 👍🏻👍🏻 stay healthy and positive ..

The reason why riding bikes in Malaysia is not popular anymore is due to the weather. I saw one vlogger mentioning that the weather forecast in Malaysia is crap. It can say it's not raining but you still get a downpour! 😂😂😂 My husband once bought a motorcycle to commute to and from work hoping he could get home faster and not get stuck in traffic jam. Unfortunately... he got drench very often, he eventually sold his motorbike! 😂😂😂 When my husband came to Malaysia, he was overweight but he has since managed to keep a good weight now even though the food here is heavenly. It is in how we balance our food intake and the many activities we can do. Lots of great place for hiking and many more! The key to being healthy in food haven is - balance!

75kg just fine with 180cm height.. U dont look skinny.. U just look fine... Happy to know that u gain weight and become better.. Now just to make sure to maintain it and no go beyond overweight... Selamat berusaha...

the last sentence actually .. the best comment ... almost impossible to change, though ..... 😂

"Eating is so much fun" It cant be any more real than this 😂

Milo and teh tarik also my favourite!!

Bicycle is not really used for our transportation. Most of us just ride bicycle during our childhood just for fun, some maybe used as the transportation to school or to run errand at a nearby shop. As our country is developing and the numbers of cars on the road increasing, people rarely used bicycle for transportation due to safety reason. But, still in some pekan, you can see elderly ride bicycle to the nearest shop or just short distance places. Even my late grandfather used to ride his old and classic bicycle to his favorite coffee shop regularly. Nowadays, people usually ride for exercising purpose. Ps : The most convenient road transportation medium for Malaysian would be a motorcycle, which making us moreeee .... relax. No need to kayuh-kayuh anymore. Hahahaha.

あきさん、太ってるというか健康的で今のままでいいと思います。

Aki looks fine to me. Do visit Singapore if possible. Greetings from Singapore ^^

I like the current aki

Agree! Good explanation 👏 😄

なるほど、納得。

could done a food review or snacks Aki

How very true those reasons are. But three reasons only, there should be more, wait for Aki part 2, "What makes foreigners get fat in Malaysia". All foreigners that comes to Malaysia get fat easily, unless he/she has a mental problem as Aki said. Selamat Datang!

Aki....welcome to the club😁😁😁😁😁😁

Very informative and true.

I walk alot and I take train and bus to work daily, I spent more money on durable shoes so I don't have to buy shoes more quickly. If I ever miss my last scheduled bus after work or I stress from after work, I did walk 45 mins distance to the nearest train station (5-7mins by car). Yes, sugar intake needs to be aware in our daily diet, so when you order a drink, ask abang "teh tarik, kurang manis~". =w=

daijobun aki we still ano tsuki desu! as long as you are healthy and happy 🌟

I noticed that Japanese drink green tea most of the time instead of plain water. Could it be a reason contribute to thinner body?

Cuaca panas nk bawa basikal..giler

becoz teh ais kurang manis never be kurang manis, actually it's sweeter than normal one. But we love it...

There are many for profit joints selling fatty food in Malaysia nowadays, other than increasing sedentary life style among Malaysians; making it very difficult ' to become thin' and 'continue to be thin' in modern day Malaysia. One of the reason why many are suffering from diseases cause by over and extra weight.

I just started to eat less oil and sugar. My body feels light.

I agree to the weather issue... the hot weather can be sooo unbearable... and people will choose to catch grab rather than walking. Another reason why people are gaining weight in malaysia is because of the restaurants are closing at midnight and some are 24 hours that I frequented as well. These restaurants served food that taste sooo delicious too.... eat to our heart content near midnight and sleep afterwards is a real recipe for weight gain.

You are right....whatever food you craving...there always have for you....just follow the mood. 🤣🤣

Good opinion. Quite accurate.

Thats why we should go for jog or some recreation in the evening. To burrnnn back the calories. Lets do some exercises aki san!
