Bro, try asking the bangladeshi workers , mamak restaurant workers, Indonesian workers n etc. would really be interested to know their take .

The key is simple don't provoke the local people and don't violate the local tradition always follow the law

I have traveled to Europe several times but I think Southeast Asians are generally friendlier and more open than most Europeans, Southeast Asian culture is smiling and friendly

Our malaysians are obsessed with fair skinned, always excited and treat european, japan and korean tourists very well..even these tourists are just ordinary people in their countries..they can feel like celebrities in Malaysia

Tourists or foreigners should aware there are a lot of foreign workers in Malaysia especially in KL. Of coz there are look like Malaysians because typically Asians look same for westerns, Africans or Americans. Only locals can differentiates between Malaysians with other Asians. Just ask if there are Malaysians if want to ask anything. Don't simply assumed everyone on the street are Malaysians.

I'm Vietnamese working in Malaysia for 5 years, i really enjoy here and don't feel any bad experience. I feel like a 2nd home for me. Love love ❤

As a Filipino, I've been here in Malaysia for almost 10 yrs now but never experienced racism from Malaysians except for this one time when I went shopping and encountered a rude sales lady. I was talking to her in English but she kept on answering in bahasa and I said I'm sorry but I don't understand Bahasa and she was like angry and told me to (learn bahasa then) in a rude accent with rude expression on her face. (surely it's my most memorable experience here😅) but That's the only issue i had in my 9yrs + here in Malaysia. Other than that... Is all good. I love Malaysia and this is my second home already.

Racism is not between locals and foreigners but between races in a country. Don't interview foreingers on racism because the perception already built-in, they are here to spend money and help the economy, most people won't say bad things to them in general.

Well, Malaysia is a multiracial/religion country. We learned about respect & considerate to other people's belief without jeopardizing the nation as Malaysian. There is an up and down throughout the history but I believe that we learned so much about it. So, there is more space for everyone to fit in our accepting society.

This is good content. Uv been asking European tourists. Mayi i suggest for u to also ask tourists from east asians, middle eastern, african, south asians, neihbouring countries.

Loving what you are doing man. As a Japanese and English language learner, more often that not I come across these sort of content where real, authentic interviews that involves the local and foreign people are done which allows us to see what opinions they have towards that particular topic. We need more content creators with this concept and am I glad to see we do have one here. Just hope you could do interviews of the local Malaysians as well and ask them critical and open ended questions about current issues where they could express their thoughts freely about it. You can refer Asian Boss for examples, love the contents they make there but sadly none of their videos has involved Malaysia up until now 😂 keep it going!

Great video, Atyc! Very glad that these set of tourist have gotten such great experiences in our beautiful country. Its true that we Malaysians are generally friendly people, but sadly, most of our foreign workers in Malaysia do not get the same treatment as western visitors.

I lived in KL as a white Canadian kid for 5 years. Was honestly 5 of the best years of my life. Was never even robbed or even so much as bothered by anyone once. Really friendly people just mind your own business.

i am wondering, those who stares at western tourists, are they even malaysian? 😁 we malaysian are so used to having tourists (white/black/red/yellow) among us that we dont treat them any differently. 😁

I love this kind of video, thank you for sharing this.

Manner is more important , respect our culture. Do not come with western standard and entitlement baggage. Come and observe as it is, we are secure with our culture and life. We know american, we know european,

I’m a Bangladesh national and I was there in a IAEA program. I also was in Japan for a month with Malaysian scientist. Believe me, my experience isn’t good at all in both cases. I saw how really you guys hate us!

Nice video my brother, I really liked it!

Terbaik bro teruskan buat lagi video..jrg2 org buat vid mcm ni

duk tanya mat salleh memang ok la... cuba tanya bangla2 n pakistan.

Northern European and lived in Malaysia for a decade and Malaysia is the only country i have experienced aggressive racism and other forms of racism both from institutions and individuals multiple times. As with everything it's a minority of people. 1. Hot accused of being Persian and got jumped by 3 guys with weapons, luckily for me they weren't good fighters, luckily for them i was tired and emotional. The PDRM returned their weapons back to them! At same time we (police and I) witnessed a bag snatching and they did nothing as the victim was ethnic chinese and the perpetrator looked sub-saharan african. 2. Dual pricing system, official and unofficial. Taxi drivers getting violent when u refuse to not pay off meter!! (Not an issue now thx Grab) And any museum, park etc etc etc 3. Taxation WITHOUT representation. 4. Government workers obsession in knowing the ethnicity of my partner, and treat me differently depending on how I answer. 5. Getting offered different food and constantly being asked if i like spicy food/can use chopsticks/eat with hands etc. Guys your food ain't spicy at ALL... 6. Can't access some simple things as don't have a NRIC... Example, was unable to get a JPJ appointment to renew license through their useless app as no IC. List goes on. Mostly it's an inconvenience but has turned needlessly and stupidly violent multiple times. Malaysians seem to have a need to put people in a box so that they can then make assumptions and avoid certain topics. Leads to some really dafuq conversations at times. Used to have a staggeringly racist boss too, to the point i didn't understand her at times as our thoughts were so misaligned. Wow that was cathartic.😂

...im living in Malaysia past 20 years so Malaysia is home for me now..i never had any issues regarding racism, that i can remember...only thing which happens from time to time is, im asked to pay for nasi goreng ayam or nasi lemak 15-20RM at place where usually goes 8RM and nasi lemak max 5 rm(its big one), and it happened in Melaka..which i kindly refuse and reply to them on bahasa that im living here long enough to know price...other than that, no issues at all..

This channel is still young but I find the interview sessions and the way you interact quite interesting. I’ve subscribed and would like to see this channel grow. Perhaps you may do foreigners from the region as well as locals.

Moga lebih berkembang channel ni

Like most Asian countries, Malaysians are more friendly towards Caucasian looking person. I'm a Malaysian myself and I get to know some African, South Asian and Arabian friends in my university, and they all expereinced certain extent of discrimination. But still, good effort.

Tourists face positive discrimination. Foreign workers face the worst discrimination.

You can see locals here treat the mat salleh differently. Its like a caste. White privileges is definitely alive and thriving here. Sadly its also supported by citizen.

Fun fact about dark side of malaysian…. We don’t really hostile towards foreigners… just to the immigrants

I spoke to a Black lady tourist in Singapore before and she told me in whisper that she did face discrimination in Msia. Mainly from the security guards. I got a feeling they may not be local Malaysians

The word ‘Asian’ is too generic, we are not the same people, the same culture and the same mentality.. like me as a Malaysian I can’t relate much with Vietnam let alone east Asia.. and also Central Asia and Middle East are also part of Asia… usually to westerners perspective, ‘Asian’ to them are Chinese looking people and Budhist background, hence they think all asian people look the same, thats why I recently refrain to identify myself as asian and Malaysia as an asian country because the reality is that we are Nusantaran & Austronesian….. we have our own identity, culture and value, we are closely related to the Polynesian of pacific islanders.

We Asian (not just Malaysian) usually still have this kind of white worshiping. Try to ask South Asian or African foreigners regardless of their status (students, low skilled workers, highly professional expats) to see their experience

I visited three cities in Malaysia last year including KL. I just loved the laid back vibe of KL! and yes people are nice in general and also curious to know where I am from and how long I am staying for etc. Loved Malaysia.

Nice interview :) I like the way you ask the question. Maybe invest in a better mic 🎤 when you're able to 🫶 Stay champ 🏆

We are so used to seeing foreigners in our backyard..staring is normal.liken seeing a new breed of horses,we are small brown,while they are big and white.

I 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 appreciate you at this informative effort.

I stumbled onto this channel trying to learn about Malaysia. I am curious about the cultures, the view, everything. I have ancestry there but was born in America. So I just want to learn more about where part of my ancestors came from.

To be honest based on my experience before stayed at Europe country, westerns are more racist than Malaysian. Some of them hates Malaysian because of Islam, because this country is small. They hate azan, they hate hijab etc. Somehow, the funniest thing is some of them love our food, especially rendang and teh tarik (this happened during raya puasa, few times we had open house, invited them for dinner and tau2 habis rendang aku dorg bantai). But these peope hate us. Why? Because we're the Islamic, small and 3rd world country. Bab small country tu memang buat aku bengang. Bingai punya mat saleh. Sayang aku xde glob kat umah masa tu. Nak je aku tunjuk comparison Malaysia dgn Singapore. Mujur kaki aku pendek, nak flying kick tak sampai. Kebanyakan member husband aku tu semua kepala nak cecah siling umah. Aku ni paras2 pusat dorg je. Hukhukk sabar jela aku.

we are discriminating to each other, and to those third world countries and races, but not whites, koreans, japanese. We actually double standard too in our styles.

For people who saying that malaysia is racist toward other race is wrong, it's all about the attitude. Most of race have similar attitude which lead to racism not tryna be defensive but try living in malaysia for 5 years and you will know what i mean. Not all people with that race is the same but if one news come out we already know what kind of person and race are they

During my time in Malaysia, I have found the local Malay people to be incredibly welcoming and warm. However, my experiences with individuals of mixed Malaysian heritage have been different. I had a negative encounter with someone like that who displayed arrogance and a sense of entitlement. It was disheartening.

They won't discriminate on foreigners... But us local.....

It's simple, the reason British people are called racist toward immigrants to the UK, is because nobody choosing to live among us respects our culture and customs. Nothing to do with skin colour, religion or anything else, just a casual disregard for British ways. That's why we have been made to feel ashamed of our own heritage.

As an expat in Malaysia for 12 yrs. I find Malaysians in general to be friendly and polite. However, if Im being honest, local Chinese/Indians are friendlier than the Malay Malay. One example is when it comes to English, "some" will frown and make face when you are unable to communicate in Bahasa. This is common in fastfoods, malls. Which I find it weird coz these restaurants or shops should anticipate to have foreigner customers. But again, overall, Malaysians are good and honest people.

Malaysian do treat forigner differently in a good way like how we treat guest. Smiling is just basic to show you are welcome. In extreme, you will find they treat you some food without having anything in return.

I lived and studied in Malaysia for 5 years.. And was never treated unjustly or disrespectfully.. YES there many stories were things between races did go wrong but generally just surround yourself with the right people at the right place at the right time and you'll be good I never had any race issue whether it was Malay Indian, Malay or Malay Chinese.. And made alot of awesome friends there.. I miss them and wish to visit Malaysia again ❤

Masalah orang kita pun tak jaga adab jugak. Sibuk nk jd busy body makcik2/pakcik2 bawang mulut longkang tanya diorg soalan sensitif. Jd mcm ichang. Mangsa keadaan. Bukan ichang aje, suami sy mat saleh pn sama jgk mangsa, mak student suami sy org Korea pun sama. Kita nk org luar berbudi dgn kita, kita pn kene berbahasa jgk dgn diorng. Sama2 jaga adab bukannya tunggu org luar je kene jaga adab, kita org Malaysia takde adab. Spatutnya org Malaysia lagi kene jaga adab sebab org Asia bukannya busy body mengalahkn yg dok dalam hutan tu. Kdg2 menyampah soalan terutama org luar tanya suami brape gaji, ada ke suami sy tanggung makcik2/pakcik2 bawang kat luar? Ada ke makcik2 dan pakcik2 bawang ada kene mengena suami sy keje ape, gaji brape, rumah kat mana dgn anda semua? Pastu tiber ckap ye ke mat saleh, muka mcm tak mat saleh pn...mujur suami sy faham bahasa melayu...terus dia blah kalu makcik2/pakcik2 bawang mulut longkang cmni. Tolonglah jgn jd busy body dan boleh tak jgn cari port nk membawang terutama org islam. Cakap islam tp mengumpat/gosip tak takut plak sdgkn terang dosa lebih besar dr bunuh org yakni dosa jariah.

I've been in Malay for the last 7 years and it's been the kindest people i've seen so far in my journey..

I am married to a Malay lady. I am British, Matsaleh if you like. I am always made to feel so welcome by the Malays, we eat in local restaurants, I am normally the only Matsaleh in the restaurant but no one takes any notice of me. It is wonderful.

Apart from "institutionalised discrimination", which yields interesting Google search results, there is discrimination against migrant workers in Malaysia. Priveleged tourists do not need to worry about this, but those are the ones he likes to interview.

bang.. jangn lupa pegi interview bangla, nepal, vietnam..

No matter if you're European or SEAsian. If you show the low quality mentality people may dislike. Malaysian will treat you the same if you come as a tourist or working as professional. You'll get opposite treatment if you work in low pay sector anyway that discrimination also apply even to local Malaysian.

if you are White/European you will not face discrimination. if you are African or other Asian you will face discrimination

For myself as and expat here people are so nice I have lived in Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia. There was not any racism here or anywhere. I am Australian and we have a very diverse and multicultural society so maybe I don't notice it but for me it has been a great 10yrs living abroad and found my wife of 8yrs so has been good to me.

As a Malaysian myself, maybe. because some people don't treat other especially have darker skin nicely

Discrimination still have in Malaysia, not all Malaysian are perfect

I live in a fishing village in Penang and for decades there are always Europeans living together and fully accepted by the village folks and they talked highly of these Germans, Belgians and Englishmen. Sometimes some hippie groups would come and camp here too.

As long as you dont provoke or insult em’, you gonna be okay. Malaysian is a happy lot ❤

good content bro

The slogan "Malaysia belongs to Malay" openly and publicly declare since many moons ago said it all on racism.

bro go interview org bangla or pakistani see how different their answers are

Rasa2 abg lebih baik Tanya org Bangladesh ke rohingya ke lagi menarik😂 APA pandangan mereka datang Malaysia buat MCM negara mereka

Well, Malaysia is among the few countries in the world didn't ratify UN's 'The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination' (ICERD). Malaysia is also one only country segregates it's own citizens into two groups which is Bumiputera and Non-Bumiputera. There is also special privillages for majority Malay muslims interms of education, jobs in public sector and economic packages.

Sometimes there are differences between racism, pre-judgement, stupid and ignorance

great. Now ask the same questions to some Bangladeshi or Africans

As a foreigner, one thing really annoys me is the foreign entrance fees especially those natural attractions. I understand we need workers to maintain and pick up rubbish e.t.c. but the most ironic thing is the locals who always leave rubbish behind them. The rest is good.

no offense, bro. but you were asking white people and of course you got all the positive feedbacks. what about try to ask some foreign workers (like bangladeshi, indonesians, etc..) that would be... very interesting

"Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment." (Abu Dawud)

He forgot to interview the other foreiners in malaysia like pakistan,bangladesh, etc that is abit discrimination

The kids at my school say the N word daily. It's not even funny, its pathetic. And yeah, I am malaysian. Apparently it's "comedic" to other people, and they call their own friends a SLUR.

Ang moh will never be discriminated in formal colonial country. Everyone treats them warmly. Especially obvious when u and ang moh walk into shop, surely the sale person will warmly greet the ang moh😬

White & Light skin foreigners are treated well, dark skin, black people not so much. The darker your skin tone the more badly you will be treated.

I think you should ask bangladesh and rohingya foreign who working in malay restaurant to see their honest answer

Unfortunately, some tourists exploit the nice and generous treatment by beg-packing, asking for money to pay for their next trip. If that were to happened in a European country, and a pair of tourists were asking for money on the street, they would be apprehended.

funny thing is that here in Malaysia... foreigners arent discriminated especially from the EU.... but when comes to fellow southeast asian, they immediately become racist... no matter if u r Malaysian going to the Indonesia or Thailand or vice versa.

Would be better if you talked to Foreigners who are not White. I mean anyone from other Asian and/or Subcontinent countries... Whites always get better treatment so to have a complete picture, include other foreigners next time as well.

we are nicer when you are nice.. and we go the other way around as well

Malaysians are friendly towards the Europeans but not the other races. Something to do with colonialism.

My oldest sister in law is British...never have any problems like that. She lives here more than 40 years.

I think you're asking the wrong type of foreigner... Try the non white one.. heck even as Sarawakian, i still get stupid question.

Correction, we are not friendly. We are just obsessed with white people. Enough if you have white skin, no need to speak English. Can guarantee you 10000%. But if you are black, enough if you are brown, you can see the discrimination. But if you black or brown and popular, then it's going to be ok. So please take advantage of that. As Malaysia, I know what really happen in this country. not saying y Country is bad, but this happens to all Asian country.

You should ask Pakistan Chinese Indian and Bangladesh too. It would be different story.

We are the only country in the world that advertise racism

i am solo woman traveller and the first time in malaysia and i van say clearly yes i feel quite often stared and watched but i think it‘s mostly the indian,bangladeshi,pakistani and other muslim people who live and work there. My opinion for me in personal it doesn‘t feel so good. I try to understand that but yeah i‘m a woman that is the reason why the stare at me so much. I think malaysia isn‘t my favorite country because of these experiences i never had in the other countries of southeast asia

This is actually a good interview. Maybe the comment section will calm down if he titled it as 'tourists'. I agree that foreigners who lived her longer from Bangladesh,Rohingya etc gets different treatment but there are other issues such as legality of entry and generalization from Msians who are racists or people who have bad experience with them. For tourists tho it's completely different, they are guests and will be treated as such. If you all watch more travel interviews in SEA foreigners do point out Msia is really chill and they feel a sense of belonging here compared to other SEA country as we've everyone from everywhere. We should however treat our foreign workers better and cherish our multi cultural country

Most people know how the Asian treated the WHITE AND NON WHITE!! You should ask the tourist from other part of Asia how the local treated them😊 Life in Europe for 17 years i feel Asian is warm nice people😊

Hey how about try asking a Malay Staff in a chinese company. I’m very intrigued to know the answers

They're white.. or white-passing. & We know how Asians have white admiration. If a local is married to a white person, people say they're "lucky" Try interviewing black, Chinese, indian tourists if you want to ask about racism because we don't have the same admiration for non white people

kami xpedulik ngat pn ngan ampa asai ampa x carik pasai sudah. kena pandang tu besa la pasai kami tak besa tengok orang putih dpn mata, besa kt lam youtube ja. enjoy la apa ada kat malaysia. welcome.

The whole racism thing happened around the world revolved on only one thing. Economics. Without economics there are no racism. Disparity of economic levels between 2 distinct group may become a fuel to excarcabate racism. It happens since the dawn of the human society

We Malaysians don't like to or have time for staring at foreigners as we always mind our own business. Manners are important to us, and we always treat tourists like locals. If they receive stares, it is definitely not from Malaysians but from foreign workers (Bangladesh or Indonesian) who work in big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Most Malaysians don't stay in Kuala Lumpur; rather, they stay in suburbs as there are more lively places outside Kuala Lumpur and just go a big city to work. So dont worry to all foreigners tourist you are always welcome in Malaysia.

Our local peoples very nice to others

You are asking the wrong kind of people. It is the locals that this question is supposed to be directed at and not the tourist. There is a difference between "Pendatang" and "Pendatang Asing" which the locals knows very well.

dude why the intro at somewhere so familiar

And with four directions there are four blocks of countries too in Asia.

As a Malaysian I can say foreigners don't have any problems regarding racism.....only Malaysian have problem among ourselves......

I haven't been to SE Asia, but I've been to Taiwan, and over there it was a completely different story. You definitely got treated better if you were an Asian. They made it so obvious that they view non-Asians as untrustworthy and inferior to them, and therefore unworthy of the same treatment. Like one example is, I could stand in line for something, and they would take care of the Asian customers first, even if I was in line before them. And Asians were able to get away with things that non-Asians would get scolded for. If I started listing everything, this comment would be like a page long, but the gist of it is, that Asians in general were more respected and trusted then non-Asians. It's like, if you don't look like them, talk like them and conform to their customs and virtues, they look down on you. As a non-Asian, I honestly did not feel comfortable there, and would not go back to another East Asian country for the reason. SE Asia on the other hand, I'm somewhat more open to, and have been seriously looking into it, but I still don't think I'd feel super comfortable there. Malaysia however, I literally had zero interest in until a week ago, but I didn't know it had such a diverse array of attractions. And the country is very multicultural and far more modern then other countries in the region, so I don't think I'd feel as uncomfortable there. THAT being said, you should interview other Malaysians, especially Indians, and you might get very different answers.

MALAYsians are not discriminative against foreigners who are white but to foreigners who are brown and non bumi.

As a Malaysian i could say We treat Foreign ppl better than local🤣if he or she dont do anything stupid

Malaysian don't discriminate against westerner. However they discriminate against Asian foreigner especially those foreign worker. Sad reality of my country.
