I agree 100% with everything you said - it's like you read my mind! Since childhood, I was particularly very impressed by the honesty and polite mannerisms of the Malay people (I went to an International school which had pretty much every nationality) They'd tell me about Malaysia, and I always wanted to go to there for a good 15 years. In recent years, I've been all over peninsular Malaysia (multiple trips), and honestly, I gotta say it really is a gem of a place, to visit *OR* live. P.S. *Old Town White Coffee* - nothing else compares :)

Hi buddy.. i stayed in KL for 10 years and whatever Ur saying is 100% correct.. i really miss and love that place until now.. i always wanted to go back to KL. it really a beautiful place with polite people. Life is great in KL.. God Bless Malaysia ..

Glad you're feeling better! Malaysia is on my travel list... can't wait to visit!

Thank you for the positive comments about my country... please visit again soon!!!

Its great to hear that it is a great place to go and see. I will definitely remember this while planning a trip.

It was a huge compliment for Malaysian. Thanks. Feel free to come again. Try our beach next time.

I definitely agree. I'm Pinoy but I love Malaysia. I wanna live here forever if somebody wants to adopt me lol. One thing I noticed though, the cab drivers, not all but some, they dont want to use the meter and want to fleece you with whatever Ringgit they can get from you. Otherwise, I love this country very much.

In the cities, towns, commercial areas etc if u ride your motorbike/scooter without a helmet, it sticks out like a sore thumb. U'll get pulled over in minutes, it's against the traffic laws in Malaysia and it's a strongly enforced law. No one in their right minds would ride a bike without their helmets in the city lol. In residential or more rural areas however, that's a different story.

I am glad you had a good stay in KL and thank you so much for those kind words about the city. Come back again!

Thanks for your video and compliment. I been in U.K. For 16 years and now is the time for me to go back. Really missed my country.

love the free bus "GO KL" 5 routes

Thanks for visiting my country Malaysia & introducing to others! I hope you enjoyed ur trip in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Always welcomed back here & explore the other part of Malaysia (Penang, Malacca, Borneo & Langkawi)

Great to know that u enjoyed your stay in kl. Thank you for the compliment. On your next visit do visit the east coast of Malaysia- kelantan n Terengganu , Penang and also Sarawak and Sabah which is in the Borneo island. You will love the place.

Next time you'd be in malaysia you should go to redang island, perhentian island, sipadan island and the foothill of mount kinabalu where the place is call desa cattle dairy farm. its a paradise!

Can't wait to see KL 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

I saw rats in Joh Baruh, but none in Kuala lapur. We had A interesting time in KL, good value for money. Sri Lanka was a rip off. Good video.

Hi scott just to share some ideas on where to go next if you happen to travel back to Malaysia..try the East Coast (specifically the state of Kelantan and Terengganu)-great Islands, try the rain forest of Pahang..try the multi ethnics states of Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo Island)...

KL still need alot of improvements though and need to achieve singapore standards. thanks for the + comments.

Really interesting comparison video! Awesome. Glad you guys had a great time 😊

Thanks for the good comments but i recommend u to visit more places especially in the malaysian borneo.

Love your Videos Blessings,

Hey there Scott, been watching both you and aly's videos about Malaysia. Perhaps if you're planning to have a trip back to Malaysia, make sure you include Kuching, Sarawak as well. Its in the west malaysia, in the island of Borneo. You might want to check about Rafflesia, Semenggoh wildlife, Bako National Park, Gua Mulu or Niah (if you're into caves) and some other more. ^_^y

Love your videos very informative 👌

Oh man! I would've been right there with you guys looking at the lightning!! What a view you must've had!!! Yeah, I love storms!!! Big time weather geek here!!! When I hear a rumble, you can bet it won't be long before I'm standing by a window awaiting to see a flash! Of course the closer the lightning gets, I won't be as close to the window LOL!!

There's 'becha' in Malacca, the historical city in Malaysia. You should visit Bandar Hilir in Malacca for becha rides, it's a bicycle trishaw (I guess!)

Great reaction.... Alcohol expensive in Malaysia due the Govt discourage its citizen to drink less and avoid drinking culture.....

I love the UK too :)... I am studying in London .

The toilet situation...as a Malaysian I'd say Thailand and Indonesia has better toilets. It's crazy how in Indonesia the most isolated places even has better toilets than us lol it's a shame really

Hi there im malaysian myself. Just to share my opinion regarding the toilets condition in malaysia are like that becos the majority of the people is muslim of which we use water/bidet to clean up our business. It is very difficult in my opinion to keep the toilet dry when it involves water and yes something need to be figured out to mitigate this thing. Anyway, we spend very little time in the toilet thus that should not be the reason for not having fun for the rest of the day right mate? Lol

The next time when you visit Malaysia, please do come to Penang.

oh KL is very cosmopolitan.. if u r looking for something more raw yet have all the nicest element msia has to offer (food culture history etc) go to Penang

Should have tried the infamous coffee 555 from batu Pahat. A must have for HM's every morning breakfast

u should try visiting melaka in malaysia..it a historical city..and it has middle transport name becca..u can ride it and go around the city...and if u wanna find a good beach should go to Sabah...their beach is really clean and beautiful...

Middle transport.. u can use GRAB..

thanks coz visit kuala Lumpur..yup i do agreed about the toilet.. mmm well if u r planning to visit again, i suggest to u to go visit the east peninsula malaysia ( state of kelantan, terengganu or pahang) or east Malaysia ( sabah n sarawak).. if u love seafood nature u got to go to sabah.. I've been there couple of time and seriously it's worth very penny... wish u very good vacation next time...

Come to terengganu malaysia... amazing.....

Next time you'd be in Malaysia you should go to Melaka!

Come on Scott lets get a new video from you! 👍

Yeah you're right in everything you said! Our toilets... really is a shame. Gotta be wary when walking along the streets though, coz snatch theft is getting rampant.

welcome.......to......malaysia.....

Uber is amazing in Malaysia as well

Hi I am from malaysia...

The middle ground for transport is actually UBER :)

Good point, we'll do something about the public toilets but not the thunderstorm eemm..

if you wanna try lot of street food ,go to penang!

Obviously he didnt took the ktm. Thank lord. All of the trains are reliable except for the national train. So if u in a rush dont take the ktm for intercity travel

How long did you live in Chiang Mai? :-B

Does your estimate of cost count airfare?

COURSE KL IS CLEANER

Rats! We lived in Hoi an and have never seen so many rats!

Toilets......that's a shame.

Dude you happened to be at a wrong place without rats and cockroaches

There's some dirty place in Malaysia.Only the Goverment want to make tourist feel that Malaysia is clean..

Yeah Thailand is much dirtier
