10 Things Japanese was Surprised About Malaysia | Differences between Japan and Malaysia

The ones who don't understand English are mostly foreigners who work as guards, from Nepal, helpers and waiters or waitresses from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistani etc. They blend in well with the locals and visitors tend to think they are Malaysians too.

I once studied in Sussex for 2 years. Did part time teaching in Sussex schools once a week to earn some money. When students know I am from Malaysia, they want to learn the Malay Language.

There's no harm in learning Malay. Its very easy to learn too. And no, malay is still the most common language being used here. Unless you only mingle with expats or city folks (usually non malays)

To know Malay as in numbers, greetings, directions will be enough to enjoy staying there multifold.

@@Aeybiseediy went Malaysians visit cities overseas they like to buy lots of souvenirs. We find bangladeshis in Paris and Rome who used to work in Malaysia. The work in souvenir shops and speak Malay to attract us. Shop assistants in Cairo, Mecca and Madina can speak Malay too.

Nope, Malay is the common languange of the people but English is extensively use. Malaysian will always try to accomodate to the person there are talking to. For example if you are foreigner, people will approach you in English. If you are chinese, people will approach you in chinese or chinese slang Malay or English.

Yea, Japan has typhoon, heavy rain, earthquake,etc...

Just wanna say like this

Thank you for asking! Sure! Looking forward to it😁

Well the QR menus usually used in the mamak restaurant, and that place is usually very overcrowded. More costumers more of the possibility you gonna neglected

prioritizing cars over pedestrian is just common sense. Drivers pay road tax and license, and there is no such tax for pedestrians. So it makes sense that cars have the right of way.

@@sallieceelee5660 it also make sense that you have never lived in a developed country. It also make sense that your mindset belong to a third world country. Do you mean that all car owners don't even walk for a meter on the road? How about walking from his or her car to the front door of a hypermarket or a mall? All car drivers must not slow down or stop for pedestrian when they are walking from parking lot to the front door of the mall or hypermarket.

@@stmpo5595 "developed country" is a loaded and subjective term. For example, there are "developed country" where mass school shooting is commonplace (USA). There are "developed country" where their museums shamelessly display stolen artifacts (UK). There are "developed country" where despite the image of politeness, mass stabbing occurs (Canada). So the term "developed country" is a problematic term which do not reflect the situation on the ground. "All car drivers must not slow down or stop for pedestrian when they are walking from parking lot to the front door of the mall or hypermarket." Thank you for the suggestion. We'll consider that.

@@sallieceelee5660 Mass shooting and stabbing also occur in poorer developing countries. I understand the story of "the grape is sour" as Malaysia fails to achieve Vision 2020 in becoming a developed nation.

@@stmpo5595 well, the country will never be able to achieve whatever vision it sets itself for, if this is the attitude of its people... sometimes, considering the attitude of Malaysians, I think they deserve whatever mediocre leaders they have now... Leaders are a reflection of the people who voted for them...

thank you for the detailed explanations! In terms of cleanliness, i saw some microwaves or clothes thrown on a street in the countryside. but that’s not the city area and i think overall cleanliness of kl is quite okay

@@ShoJapan just to highlight you on the pedestrian issues when crossing the roads at the traffic lights junctions in Malaysia so you may cross the roads safely here in the future. There are actually pedestrian crossings that prioritise the pedestrians to walk first here in the cities and towns in Malaysia like you have a sign showing to "WALK" but not as many, maybe like in Japan or the United States. Here at the traffic lights junctions where there are no specific pedestrian crossing signage, we Malaysian people when crossing the roads at these junctions, we are "guided" by the color of the traffic light itself. The light for the pedestrians to cross the road is green, same applies to all, like red light to stop. When the green light is lighted for the pedestrians to walk across (it means the green light that is facing you), automatically the traffic light that's facing the cars will turned red, this makes the cars to stop and the pedestrians can now safely cross the roads. In other words the traffic system here apply a fair and equal priority to both the pedestrians and the cars. Just follow the color of the traffic lights. I'm not saying that this is better than other countries' system. I saw in the UK when I was there years ago that cars gave way to pedestrians even though the traffic lights on the car's way was green but it happened only when there were not many traffics at that particular junction. If you do this here in Malaysia, somebody's car behind you will be honking like hell for not following the traffic lights rules. In other words, in Malaysia we were already accustomed to be "guided" by the color of the traffic lights to cross the roads rather than the "WALK" signage. In big cities and town, crossing the roads NOT at the traffic lights junctions are prohibited and you maybe subjected to summonses. Those who cross at non junction roads, they cross at their own risks. I hope this may help to unravel your confusion when crossing any roads in Malaysia. Just look at the color of the traffic lights facing your side, if it's green you walk, if amber you take caution and if red you stop. Cheers bro....😁😆😄❤

Fun Fact: Why is Malaysia the most obese country in Asia? Cz we love to eat and we don’t walk. It doesn’t mean we’re lazy, we’re just rich. Lol. An average of two cars per household in Malaysia.

Wow interesting! thanks for the info! I learned Judo at school too haha

Hahaha I'll go there quite often

not exactly. if you go to smaller towns and kampungs, there are still malaysians who couldn't understand or speak english.

good point!! which part of Japan did you go??

@@ShoJapan i went to Hokkaido and Kansai.

e-payment methods were in it's infancy when I went to Japan in 2016. but I was happy to know that I could pay with IC cards. I quite enjoyed buying drinks from the vending machine using my icoca card lol. this method is still quite new in Malaysia. Back in 2017 I've only seen a few vending machines that accepted touch n go cards but payment via debit cards was quite the norm.

Thank you!

Sounds goodd!

Yeah. Just rise your hand and the traffic will stop no matter what because our hand sign is the most powerful here in Malaysia (generally means that you gonna cross the road no matter what!)

free wifi in fast food chains like McD & KFC are not bad tho. good enough to watch youtube sometimes. most big malls has free wifi too but it's pretty much useless 😅

Ya, me too 😅

@@Ruriko.Y From my experience is not really abt the speed but 'free' wifi are always password protected or locked behind registration for something. when you need to use the internet urgently its not very convenient to ask for the password or to register something first.

RM30 Umobile GX30 prepaid with unlimited data plan at 6Mbps for 30 days is pretty affordable.

Yea flood last year was terrible. Hope everything is okay

Yes, Tokyo is an expensive city indeed. But many attractive places as you mentioned!
