Well ,majority of Malaysians don't want to make tiny matters into big matters ,sometimes it is pointless and waste of time , if you can forgive other's mistakes ,then it will return back to you when you do mistakes ,people will forgive you back. It is just tolerance , give and take 😄.

Sometimes I also wondered why our people are so patient tbh 😂😂

You know what? The "sometimes can, sometimes cannot" story about your plane ticket rings a bell. I had the same experience with Malaysia Airlines, not in Malaysia, but in The Netherlands. They said no to me over the phone, but when I visited the office in Amsterdam, I was serviced by a Malaysian staff member, and everything was good. I guess it is not just a "practice" in Malaysia, but also by Malaysian companies over the world. LOL!

🤣🤣🤣... in Malaysia, we would say something like this... Cockroaches only if its crawl...but when its fly, we call it "Babi" (Pig).... 🤣🤣🤣

It’s true what you’ve shared about Malaysian.. truly interesting and funny knowing the differences. Thank you I’ve enjoyed your shared experiences and views👍 Please keep posting

I teach architecture at a local university. Whenever I bring my students for site visits, I'm always annoyed when their walking distance is about 10 minutes max. These kids just hate walking. If they need to walk more than 10 minutes, it's "too far" already, and must drive instead! I told them their typical walking range should about 30-40 minutes and they hated me for it hahaha.

about locking the car even with someone inside and taking valuable things with us after leaving the car are what we have practiced since we were little. it became a habit bcs it's not like there was no robbery cases at all. there were even cases where people broke into cars even if we already locked it. we're afraid it will happen to us, so we do that as a precaution

At first, I was really confused with the Malaysians are patients part because I for one isn't a patient person along with my family, but the more she explained the more I get it on why we would count as "patient" probably because of all the traffic jams, long queues, etc. It's nice to see the cultural shock of Malaysia, keep up the good work!

Malaysians need be reminded the reason we are patient is because we learned from a multiracial society to be patient. Other singular race country cant be bothered since theyre all the same LOL.

I don’t like people honk at me so i will not do to others unlessssssssss dangerous situation 😂😅

I don't think not honking is not because we're patient, but the fact that everyone else cuts in traffic it becomes a norm in driving. Our roads have a lot of unexpected bottlenecks that sometimes forces even the most courteous of drivers to cut in to a different lane at the last minute.

So true😂I genuinely would choose drive over walking even if it’s a short distance ..Not interested getting barbecued by the sun ☀️

Me Walking in Malaysia only inside the mall. I can walk inside there for hours. Like u said there's not enough crosswalk and walkable path. Getting 6,000 steps per day is hard enough. I'm surprised myself when I came to Korea my step will range 20,000 to 30,000 per day. Now if I want to walk ,I will go to Korea. Especially jeju cause there's a lot of pretty olle trail .❤

Tbh we might not be that patient, that's just how we look, especially waiting in a long line in the government office and banks. We sometimes really wanted to express our mood, but knowing it won't do anything we just don't care.

For some reason, I enjoyed walking in Busan, despite all the hills. I just hated walking in Klang Valley due to the heat. But ever since KL started having all the covered walkways, I've enjoyed walking again in KL.

me as malaysian, approved this vid

TQ for making this video. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing through and through.

during emergency break & dangerous cutting line situation, we do honk & cursing at the same time.

People don't horn here because horning considered as scolding

For the sometime can sometime cannot i think i have a somewhat explanation. We call it budi bicara in malay and as u said its depends on the situation and person.

Well, as a Malaysian, i admits that our cockroaches are frightening 😂😂. But at my hometown in Sabah, there is a type of insects that is even bigger than cockroaches (don't even know it's name) with big eyes, hard body and wings and making loud noises. Even when you beat it with a newspaper repeatedly, it won't die but keep on flying towards you. It's about 3 inches big 😂😂. There is a cave named Gomantong near Sabah where the local climb inside to collect bird nest delicacy. But on the bottom of the cave, if I am not mistaken contain the most cockroaches infestation in the world.

Haha, the way you described your experiences is hilarious😅

So sorry for those items that u lost and never found. I read somewhere that in Korea if someone found someone belongings, it will be return to the owner. Well in Malaysia not all are dishonest. It's just that sometimes people don't really care. Hopefully it is nothing expensive in the bag. And you're very pretty😊

We love swimming, just not at beaches cause its too damn hot 😂

In traffic light,i am ready to honk if the car infront on me didn’t move a bit when it turned green. Coz the driver must be playing with the phone..😅

Your video is so funny and cute, Kakak Korea. Ok.., these are some of the info/reasons to some of your culture differences, first of all, Malaysians are very very patient. We are laid back and not so uptight about a lot of things. Its ok to give way and good to be courteous on the road. However, other than this, it’s also not wise to honk at some rude obnoxious drivers coz you may come across someone who’s a road bully, and they will come out of their car or motorbike and bash your car. Better to just let it be and move on. Next, the flying big cockroaches are the males. Males fly, females can’t fly. That male cockroach was attracted to you....😂😂 ... just kidding 😂😂, but I’m not kidding about males fly, ok .. and you’re right, we drive even though it’s a 5 mins drive away...

The "honking" incident. I think about 18 years ago or so, they were cases where people honk out of anger and impatient that they would be dead because "samseng" would stop them with their car and shot the "honker" or just break out a fight. Hence, this 'patient' culture in driving occurs. "Samseng" was still rampant back then. I am not sure if it applies to everyone but I saw my parent's habits in driving because of that and I also follow them. But being patient can also be due to religious teachings.

disagree with patiently queuing at government office, we Malaysian always complaint "look at this government, got 8 counters but only 2 open. so useless" something like that

Keep it up kakak..Nice video..🔥🔥💪

My soul almost left my body when the cockroach started to spread it wings😭

KaKaK 님, 말레이시아 한국의 문화차이 정말 재밌게 봤습니다 ! 말레이시아에서 생활을 하고 있어서 그런지 더 공감이 되어 재밌는 요소들이 많은거 같아요 ㅎㅎ 특히 운전하시는 분들 빵!빵! 안하시는거 정말 거의 매일매일 와~~ 어떻게 저렇게 참을수가 있지? 라고 생각하는거 같아요 ! 진짜 한국이였으면~~ 야 !! 삐~~~ ㅋㅋ 해주신 리액션 넘 재밌네요 말레이시아 현지분들 정말 참을성 좋으신거 같아서 항상 리스펙하면서 적응해가는 중입니다 !

Firstly we do honk, but not as trigger happy as in other south east asian countries. For eg like you said maybe the other driver does not realise his action, say his car is reversing towards yours behind him without his knowledge then you do need to honk loudly, but not lengthy, to alert him. Secondly, yes generally malaysia is a safe country, but as I have pointed out to others before, everyone must still take precautions, and not let his/her guard down and take things for granted. You never know when you get unfortunate, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, ie the only thief going around preying for a victim during the entire month happens to do his round on that particular evening and not other nights, and he happens to target the particular place you are at... So, always be wary, hopefully nothing untoward befalls us. Stay safe and have fun staying in malaysia. 7 years? Wow! 👍

우리와의 다름을 재미있게 잘 얘기해주셔서 재미있게 봤어요 일본에 여행 갔을 때도 경적 울리는 소리를 여행 내내 한번도 듣지 못해서 좋았던 경험이 있었어요 말레시아도 그렇다니 너무 좋은 문화 같네요😊

You made me google Korean cockroaches since you said they are cute and I was curious to know.

Can or cannot? Usually when on the phone the communication is rather impersonal but whenyou talk face to face the dynamics changes to be more amiable and friendlier.

We love swimming on certain timing only because we want to avoid being tanned. About the sometimes you can, sometimes you can't, we experienced it every day, we get angry sometimes. For government appointment like you said, some of us even take a day leave just to queue up because we know that the process quite slow.😅

Always interesting to hear what others think of Malaysian. No doubt our roaches are legendary😂 Thanks for sharing!❤

I think it's important to integrate to the local culture. I appreciate the patience, tolerance and friendliness that Malaysians have become known for. Growing up in the east coast of the U.S. where drivers are infamous for being aggressive, it's common to see aggressive honking and cursing which can lead to physical altercation. If you visit the U.S., avoid aggressively honking at crazy drivers and definitely do not curse at them unless you're prepared to physically defend yourself. Some cultures can have a heated argument and leave it at that. Others are willing to kill or be killed when someone mouth off at them.

when taking driving license class, we are also taught the manner of driving. its better not to honk sometimes because it can ignite fights and patience is the best thing to do. because we don't want to fight each other and turn it to be a street fight which can cause some people to hit your car and its damn expensive to repair. but after all, its about moral, and law and road etiquette.

I'll honk when ever i should to honk,otherwise i will curse like crazy guy in car 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome to mlysia sister..have a nice stay..korea n mlysia are always good fren. People to people r also good

Outdoor cochroaches fly and bigger compare to indoor ones. Fireworks are almost a month during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and Deepavali. The most spectacular fireworks are on independence day. Younger generations are lazy to walk. One grab driver told me that they would rather take a grab for a 5 mins walking distance. Sunway wave pool isn't very deep so no need to wear safety vest. Life guards are around.

1. as a malaysian, i actually like walking to a places if it's nearby but people think im the weird one, and when i say "it's not that far" it's actually around 20 minutes walk, and my friends still complain abt it being so far lmao. 2. about the sometimes can sometimes cannot thing, i think people hate it if you come to the office and they want you to get out of their office asap, so they'll give you whatever you want. and call centres are not a face-to-face experience so it's easier to reject a request. i think it's just a psychological thingy than just a malaysian thing😂

It’s actually funny to watch you feel culture shock, because Malaysian aldy so used to it. We wouldn’t know it’s different until you told us. Yes, it’s only kids will use a tube in Malaysia hahahaha we don’t even think about dangerous or no without safety vests in wave pool. And our Lunar New Year Eve always tend to stay up until a certain time to do a worship session that’s why firecracker until dawn time.

아름다워지셨습니다😮😊

the reason we dont honk is to avoid road rage and it doesnt matter who's fault

Haha long time never see kakak high view video post-pandemic hahahaha

I'm too focus on cursing that I forgot to honk.

We also give thanks to people when they let us to move at junction with raising hand or double signal

Actually in my experiences, about can and cant. Basically by the rules you cant. But when you make the effort to confront them, they try to help you if they could do something about it. Its just a courtesy. But it might violate the company policy and have a risk.

3:25 this is why we malaysians never get that kdrama moment where the male lead compliments the female lead “you’re beautiful than the fireworks” because we just look from our windows at home 😂😂

I really can't relate with the 1st and 3rd one 🤣👍✨

About sometimes can sometimes can not. It depends on to whom you are talking to. Usually they can’t do it but they tend to make it easier for you so they try to cut some processes. And the process usually become smoother if you meet them face to face because they can see and “judge” you hahahahah. If you are polite, try to speak their language. They will go out of their way to make things easy for you

In my case im scare of honking my car bcuz theres a few incident on news where an individual will attack people that honk at them so for my safety, i dont honk my car unless absolutely necessary.

Been watching kakak's broken english for so long that it gets weird when she uses her native tounge ´^^

Gosh..your eyes..its very beautiful

Sometime can sometime cannot...wells if u work on customer service, that kpi counting on any refunded product..so that reason not all can give

I do hope there's a lot pedestrian area even in the small town since I'm prefer walking to anywhere. I don't have vehicles on my own... But Malaysian prefer ride or driving to anywhere. Might because of the weather or too prideful walking anywhere. Walking seems to inconvenient and can be shown as individual status if you don't driving to anywhere.

About the cockroaches, yes they really can fly. IDK even if you keep your house clean, they came from other place and I always keep my green Baygon cockroach spray in my house. Can't even open my sliding door at night for a breeze.

7:54 Malaysia use to be quite unsafe especially during the early 2000's. There was so many crime cases (majority of them are robbery and theft). Nowadays not so much because there's surveillance everywhere but still happen once in a while. So i think people do that as a habit.

i dont blame you because it is from your own experiance. even me as a malaysian i agree with all your points. about the can and can't is also something annoyed me. i have a friend that her job is answering telephone at office say can't just because she to lazy to do so 😅

Personally, i also wonder why we don't use the honk. I mean, its there for a reason right ?? 😭😭 i often get mad on the road when im driving and i do give honks once in a while lol 😆 coz its just so wrong like when u just cut in line. Sometimes we do angry but we just endure it and quietly cursing(?) 😆 If u talk about govt. offices, if it was me, of course sometimes we do upset that the services takes more time. But yes we cant really do anything about it. Sometimes i do want to complain, but yeah.. it happens all the time so.. we hv to just endure it in the end 😂

we walked even if its 5 mins cuz its super hot in malaysia but in korea u got autumn right where u have cooling air so walking is easy but for us a 5 min walk is like a 3 hour walk under very hot sun so we drive and at least we have air con in car

6:09 sometimes can, sometimes cannot - as someone who work as call centre agent, to me that kinda world wide. call centre have quite limited access and authority. let’s say you work for brand A call centre and receive calls from every part of the world - each outlets of brand A might have different approach to certain issue, while the knowledge and format that you have usually the general ones. so for that, i usually advise to check with the outlet. either by walk-in or email. see what they can consider or tolerate or offer to compensate. this is just one of many factors. if they say cannot, but when you check with the outlet straight they say can, usually the main policy said cannot. but the outlet itself willing to tolerate, take the risk and take alternate decision.

The can and cannot really depends on the person. Some are understanding and some arent.

My opinion on "sometime can, sometime can not" is, if according to the "rules" it is can not, but rules is just a guide to keep us in line. Often time, if we can help, we put aside the rule and help settle the problem. Yeah, some people might not agree, but if we can make some people life easier a little bit, why not? This is just my opinion, maybe it is not correct.

Hehehe agree with a lot of the points! For me, the culture shock I experience when I go to Korea is how obsessed the Koreans are with their iced drinks, even in the dead winter 😂 it could be zero degree or minus degree outside, they'd still ask for Iced Americano, or buy the ice packs from the convenience store to pair it with any of the juice/canned/plastic-wrapped drinks 😂 isn't it cold enough already 😂

About the walking part. 10 years ago, would've been easily walk everywhere within KL (When u know the streets, its easier). But at the present, its safer to drive even for 5 minutes because the heat is unbearable. Can easily get heatstroke if not careful, walking path is beside the point as most important is stay hydrated & healthy. Sometimes Can, Sometimes cannot; we always look at the person's experience. The caliber person always say can and deliver because they know how it works (just amazing quality working class citizen), the one always say cannot is either new or just refuse to do the work or just don't understand how to serve. I've dealt with many people and 100% guaranteed it comes down to the person's experience and whether he or she having a good day or not.

Happy Malaysia day 🇲🇾 🇰🇷 ❤

Kakak.... Your point of view always funny to me.. but it makes sense thou... everything u say I can relate. By the way the cockroaches issue bhahaha 😅😅

Semakin cantik

The driving part is so factual 🤭 idk why we are like that 🤣

1. we don't honk because it will obviously cause a situation like people assuming you're trying to pick a fight and that most of the time will escalate into a 'not so nice of a situation' (road ragers are real especially on the freeways). we try not to escalate small things into huge debacles here as we don't really know how would the other party reacts. 2. every month here we have a holiday/celebration so 100% fireworks festival all year round. fun fact : firecrackers are illegal here, so when you see kids popping those explosives - that's basically domestic terrorism. 3. we here are more of a river or lake kind of person. beach and pool are for the regular tourists. 4. safety is not our number 1 priority, most of times, usually lol. 5. the people here have a change of heart as often and unpredictable as the monsoon rain season passing by. 6. it's not to disinfect, it's to prevent food from sticking to the utensils - making it a pain to use and clean. 7. Malaysia is typically a safe country with low crime rates, but that doesn't mean that there's no crime - be mindful of your belongings because who know when will the 'local street magicians' perform their disappearing act with your stuffs. 8. the roaches here are big, black and bite too. pretty hilarious seeing even big burly guys freaking out over a flying cockroach. hey, Malaysia you know - it's pretty good

For life vest situation..it happens this way because malaysian are not big fan of law suits..maybe we can say maybe because lack of knowledge about it..if accident happens then it happened..nobody get sued..

Malaysian more to do camping 🏕️ , going travel inside & out side country especially neighboring countries like Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam, food also Malaysian feveret. Other you can show on your channel, Uptown / Night market in Kuala Lumpur, just going Uptown Danau Kota setapak KL, night market selling cheap products and also many night stall you can do Food Review

What you said all of it is true. But i warn you not to go to back alley at night. I have seen rats as big as cats in KL. Try it if you dare.

As all Muslim over the world always apply "Patience is half of Faith" as taugh by Prophets, thus as Malaysia is an Islamic country, this practice was also embedded since little to our nation..including to nonMuslim as well.. Its like trying to understand that everybody have their own problem and being angry over small things only make u stress and hypertensive.. Still everybody has different level of patience.. Just dont poke the beehive. Its very memorable to have flying cockroach landed on your face... Unimaginabally scarily goosebumpy.. Always prepare 1 cockroach killer spray at each room area.. About lock the door , lock the gate and everything, safety is important. People do that because there were bad incidence happen before. Its better to play safe than being the target of felony.. God is everywhere, so do Devils

Hahahaha.. i love this video

kinda true the first one. only few would turn the whole area upside down for long queue. let say 100 ppl there, less than 10 is very vocal. i know everyone is mad. but they afraid to "kecoh-kecoh" haha

정부기관에서 잘 기다리는 게 아니라...짜증이 없는것도 아닌데 그냥 짜증을 내도 소용 없는 거예요 ㅠㅠ 정부기관이 일하는 속도에 이미 익숙해져서 뭘 어쩔수 없어서 그런것 같아요 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 그리고 어쩔 땐 되고 어쩔 땐 안되고 그것은 진짜예요!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 말레이시아에서 자라서 그런 일을 하도 많이 경험해봤으니까 다른 나라에 가서도 전화해서 안된다고 했는데도 직접가서 다시 물어보는 경우가 많아요 절대 네버 포기해요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 저는 한국에서 잠깐 살아봐서 언니가 언급한 차이점은 다 정확하다고 생각해여!! 재밌게 봤습니당!!!

There will be more cultures shock if you visit Sabah and Sarawak. More different cultures. More different food. And more different places.

There’s a reason why Malaysian are very cautious all the time. Because like every other countries in the world we understand that everywhere there will be some thieves, kidnappers, drug addicts who take advantage of other people for easy money. So it’s better safe than sorry to be cautious n be mindfull of our surrounding.

We literally have a slogan “Budi Bahasa Budaya Kita” which literally means “Our Good Manners are Our Culture” that’s why. We still curse but not openly 😂😂😂

Honking when other driver fell asleep is necessary to avoid accident. Don't stay quiet!

We dont horn because since we are child. Loud sound consider as sound pollution

Haah malas jalan.. 😂😂

Forever 🇲🇾💜🇰🇷

I don't mind walking around my residential area because there's so many trees here. but walking in the city? when it's scorching hot? no thank you.

The two that caught my attention - fireworks and driving. Yes, there are too many fireworks all the time. I kinda wish they didn't do fireworks so much all the time. Also, there is no culture for bicycling. Even though oftentimes the distance is perfect for a bike.

Well, not only cockroach...but rat can be found too... And the car lock and hide precious/value things if u in the car is a safety measured too maybe u have never experiences it...but some it does happen where thieves snatch your phone or your handbag while u are driving and so on...and some will broke your car's window to snatch what they see that catch their eyes...there is alot of case happened which was recorded through cctv and posted on social media or witnessed by people around. So always be carefull and aware of your surrounding

말레이시아에서는 깜빡이 안 켜고 막 끼어드는 차들이 너무 많아서 저는 그냥 좀 참고 넘어가는게 더 편해서 그래서 빵 안해요 😅 하지만 만약에 정말 위염한 상황이라면 방 하겠죠

it is the weather that influence Malaysian don't walk alot , imagine walking in the oven hot sun afternoon, suddenly it will be heavy rain when you going back in the evening, it is just suffred.

Taking all valuables from the car before you get out is important coz too many cases of professional thieves break into cars and stealing laptops/ bags. Some malls even remind drivers about this before entering the mall. Overall, I find your video funny coz I can relate to it 😂

We dont honk much but our mouth surely didnt stop blabbering 😂

hahah car honks doesn't happen as much because it more of an insult than a "warning I'm here" 😂

They also test your patience lol.

Unnie,you know the cause of jamming in highway in these day? The PLUS small lorry is the cause, the root of this problem😂

we just marah dalam kereta instead a honk cause there case tht car honk then the motor that get honk angry and then he break the front glass it really scary

Malaysian people when facing the flying cockroach automatically the cockroach become a pig…😂🤣
