6 Things You Should NEVER Do in Malaysia 🇲🇾 Don't Do This in Kuala Lumpur 

Do you agree with this list? Did I get some things wrong? Did I miss any? Comment below!

Anyone from malaysia or just me??

another few never do's in Malaysia 1. Wear appropriately when entering religious place, goverment offices to show some respect 2. Try not to wear many jewelry on the road, and do not walk alone in the dark if you do so. 3. Malaysian beach are not bikini friendly, if you do so, make sure there is no one around. (otherwise there will be earthquake) 4. Bring something when visiting someone would be better although not practice by some people. 5. Never leave Malaysia without trying nasi lemak, asam laksa, char kuey teow, roti canai

When drive in malaysia road, dont use horn oftenly.. dont forget turn on signal when u wanna turn..

“Even the weather forecast says its not going to rain, trust me, its a lie” Sir, thats true 🤣

Who else lives in Malaysia ⬇️

About never bring durian indoor only apply to the hotel,restroom or public place,but when you come to local people house,please bring more than you want😉

Don't smoke in a restaurant. in Malaysia .. It is illegal now.. You may be fined.

Him : Never forget to bring your umbrella Malaysian citizen : Never actually bring umbrella or actually own one

Here's some more tips: - when crossing the road, some vehicles may flash their lights, DO NOT CROSS as it means "get out of the way". Use your hand (✋) instead to make the vehicles stop. - if you are driving, beware of drunk driver especially at night and please don't drive when you're drunk. - don't shake hands with opposite sex unless they offer first. - wear appropriate clothes when visiting religious places - don't use your tourist privileges here, we don't care. In other words, we respect you so we expect the same in return - you can no longer smoke at the restaurants Enjoy your stay!

“Shoes are considered dirty” Dude, shoes ARE dirty!

Do not hug someone else's wife, durians is fine with me because almost everyone in Malaysia loves eating durians.

Durians? Misunderstood there..we Malaysian love durian..and do welcome to the house..

Don't bring your pet especially dogs to public restaurant and shopping mall.

When crossing a busy road in malaysia, dont just walk and cross the road. You will get hit by car or motorcycle. Use the power of the hand✋. Its like an x-men thingy in malaysia. Hahahahaha.

If you’re a Malaysian you will understand this SAYANGI MALAYSIAKU

1) If you want some super cheap chocolate, go to Pulau Langkawi. There isn't tax there. 2) Passing thing through the head may not really bother too much people religiously. It just annoying. 3) KL is target for robbery. 4) Try Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai. 5) Good video.

Number 3 is totally wrong man. You bring into my house, i will eat all alone. You just sit there watch me eating

Me as a Malaysian: Never bring an umbrella

In my whole family line, durian are the most welcome fruit in the house 😂

Never forget about East Malaysia - the state of Sarawak in East Malaysia is the largest state in Malaysia. When vloggers / tourists talk of Malaysia, they are nearly always talking of peninsular Malaysia without realising it.

Yes, it rains pretty heavily very quickly, and then it's sunny again 30 mins later.

When u see Myvi, this is the legend car

The dislike of this video is only from taxi driver.

“Even if the weather reports say it’s not gonna rain it’s prolly a lie” -perfectly accurate ahahaha

Too funny about the shoes. I lived in the US for 12 years. Being from Canada most people don't wear their shoes in the house. We had to put a sign up for my American friends because we could not understand and to this day I don't get it why people would want to wear their dirty shoes inside on carpet or any flooring. Japan is the same which again makes sense.

I think your referring to bringing durian indoors at the hotel...most people would welcome it in the home

you can bring durian to my house

Don’t do this: Never say Malaysian food suck 😂 cuz you’ll die. I’m malaysian btw

Malaysians : dont double park What malaysians are doing : double parking

Do not ask for crispy chicken rendang... hahahaha..

A few more: 1. Always use your right hand to give money etc, using the left hand is considered rude. 2. Never ever ever leave Malaysia without trying TEH TARIK!!!

I'm from Malaysia and I really appreciate this video u posted. One more thing u should never do in Malaysia is throwing food or walking over food, it is considered disrespectful when it comes to playing or waste some food u bought.

U know it's weird when that Chinese lady couldn't stand the smell of durian 😂

Never make the nasi lemak without the sambal 😂

As a malaysian , other things not to do is : - 1 Don't wear bikinis at beaches 2 Don't hug the opposite gender unless they're your family 3 Don't wear shoes not just in home , but also hotel rooms or religious places such as mosques

First, about the durians, yes. It is not allowed in the hotel but it is most welcomed in almost all malaysian's houses. If you want to bring some as a gift, you might considered buying 'Musang King' or D29 durians. Please bring at least 10 at least for us to completely satisfied. Secondly, about the umbrella. Actually it just a coincidence malaysians braught an umbrella because most of us are often forget about it. You will be lucky if you have one standby inside of your car. If you wont, dont be shamed because it is normal. Well, I am malaysian and I am proud of my country.

imo, the durian part is so over exaggerated.. other than that, this is a great video.. keep it up 💪🏻

Little tips In Malaysia, when you mentioned the umbrella, YES you should always carry an umbrella around cause you can't trust the rain, when it rain once and it stops raining, it will start raining the second time, it's pretty annoying, but it can be relaxing. Tip two, NEVER use your left hand, especially when your eating, only use it when your cleaning up after your going to the bathroom, use your right hand instead. Tip three If it's your first time being in Malaysia, please, try to get used to eating with your hands, it's okay if you do want to, but it will consider to show respect. And don't be embarrassed about it. Tip four No cursing, if you want to, do it somewhere else, not in public, it can be very embarrassing. Tip five No drugs or alcohol, yes you can smoke there, but don't do it when you see a sign saying, no smoking. Tip six Don't wear clothes that is reveling, it's disrespectful and disgusting to others who are Muslim, wear jeans, sweaters, etc but just no reveling clothes. Tip seven Don't celebrate Christmas, Halloween, thanks giving, happy fourth of July, in Malaysia, we only celebrate Hari Raya, Chinese new year/ lunar new year, Malaysia day, kids day, teachers day, mother's/father's day, and more that I can't even remember. So please don't do that, it can be VERY embarrassing.

If your question need an answer yes or no..if they reply "ah ahh", thats mean YES..not NO sir..

I like the irony the viewers are mostly Malaysians rather than non-Malaysians. Good video!! :) I'm Malaysian too btw.

Generally it's disrespectful/rude to decline food offered by a host, unless due to one's religious or health-related restrictions.

me: *throws slipper at my sister's head*

for some clarification, durian not allowed bring into a hotel only, other than that pretty everyone don't care. Usually, durian is allowed in homestay otherwise it will be explicitly stated.

Hi! This is my first time seeing this youtube channel.I am always ready to watch Malaysian-about videos! ;D I am Muslim and Im from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. You missed ONE MORE THING 7 : Don't eat in front of Muslims and Peoples When its "Bulan Puasa" Its where you fast And DONT EAT until its evening. It is "Fasting Month" and i probably would say that it would be more nice and appropriate if you eat when its evening. Because in our country,Fasting ends when its evening and they eat Kurma which i cant eat bc i dont like it very much😂 (Im 9 years old) And of course you can eat but i probably would eat queitly and not Very secretly but just dont eat too open..It makes people hungry and can't resist.And also Yes,Of course you can buy foods anytime and even before evening.People in malaysian sometimes often buys food before its Evening (Before its time to eat after Fasting basically) And eat it when its time.For me,sometimes i cant resist so i eat for two days and more.Because its not really like " YOU SHOULD FAST IF YOU ARE MUSLIM,EVEN A KID" I mean of course you should and could because other people are fasting too and its disrespectful to just openly eating food in front of them.But as kids,we can skip of course sometimes but we dont skip always or every day! Thats all i have to tell you! THANKS FOR READING THIS EVEN IF IT LONGER THAN YOUR HOMEWORK

One thing you should definitely NOT DO in Malaysia is say that you DO NOT LIKE nasi lamak. What a horrible mistake we made 😅 What a great video, Kevin! What a shame we couldn’t meet ... another time! ❤️

I'm Malaysia, and we love when someone coming into with Durians! it's like a gift ! We Malaysian truly love Durians actually

Don't posessess drugs in Malaysia Under Malaysia's Dangerous Drugs Act, anyone found with 200 grams of cannabis, 40 grams of cocaine, and 15 grams of heroin or morphine risks being charged with drug trafficking - a crime that carries the mandatory death penalty. - FACTS

Haha most of what happens in Malaysia is the opposite of whatever you said.. we carry durians indoor and we eat them regardless of smell, we throw stuff over people's head to our mates, we have pda but not in general public, probably in cars parked around a garden. The shoes are definitely something we are not supposed to wear indoors, not everyone wears shoes indoors, lol, and if you find malaysian citizens a little noisy 👌, well that's because most of us are afterall loud mouths bahaha. But in Malaysia if your kind and you show respect to others, you will be given abundant kindness than what you have given, that's Malaysia. 🖖

im malaysian and i kinda agree to the things you have stated and that is because its true except for the durian.Durian are not allowed in public transportations and public accomodations but the rest are fine..keep up the great work man..love from Malaysia

Me: *Literally live in Malaysia and breaks the rules and nobody get mad*

If i go to malaysia i will meet the legend LEE CHONG WEI. Love from India.❤️😁💐

Wow, what a great video! I didn't know any of these things... especially, about reaching over someone's head. Now, I feel I'm all ready for a trip to Malaysia and that I'll fit right in without offending anyone.

Bringing food including durian to someone's home is considered a good gesture...but not to Hotel room because we dont want our guest to feel uncomfortabe. You can show your affection like kissing and hugging (not french kiss though) but not exesscively. Thing to add is, never point your index finger directly towards someone's face...it is insulting!

Veryyyyyyyyy relatable. I wonder how people who are not Malaysians watch this and be like shocked. I mean its preety normal for this.

You can touch somebody's head only if you know that person very well or used to joke around. :)

I am Malaysian. Born, bred, schooled etc by Malaysians in Malaysia. I am a Malay ethnically, a Muslim on the religion side. But the last one on your list, the umbrella, I never give a hoot about umbrellas-I don't buy umbrellas, I don't keep umbrellas, I don't care umbrellas. If it rains, well, it rains, and I get wet if I don't find shelter fast enough. I was born and raised in Kedah (northern West Malaysia near Thailand) where playing in the rain was a hobby as a kid, rain doesn't kill. Been that way my whole Malaysian life umbrella-wise. The rest in the list, OK, the durian thing, I wouldn't worry too much. Certainly there are places in Malaysia where durians are prohibited indoors (hotels, office buildings, stadiums, hospitals, airplanes, buses etc) but most Malaysians have no problem if you bring durians in their homes, they love eating durians if you are willing to share with them. Not just durians, the jackfruit has a smell that sickens you too if exposed to it far too long, like in a bus, it too is banned in certain areas in Malaysia. I love mangoes but I can't stand the smell for hours on end like in a bus (especially the kuini and bacang varieties). I am Malaysian, been Malaysian all my life. Touching the head, yes a NO NO, probably most serious social offense in Malaysia. Shoes in house, yes, definitely a no no. Others not on your list: (1) Do not offer your handshake to a Muslim man or woman if you are of opposite sex. But I will shake the hand of a woman if she extends it to me, just I don't want to upset her. I myself will not extend my handshake to a woman that is not a close blood relative allowed by Islam. But not all Muslims like me. Don't get offended if a Malaysian Muslim person of opposite sex refuses to accept your handshake; he/she not trying to offend you but just trying to live up to the religious etiquette. (2) Dogs -- do not bring a dog into a Malaysia Muslim's home. (3) We clean our butts with water, using the left hand, after taking a crap (sorry for my language - well, after emptying the bowels). So don't ask for toilet paper in Malaysian home, especially Malay Malaysian home. These days, many public places don't provide toilet papers don't be shocked: when in Malaysia, shit like a Malaysian! (Haha!)

OMG that rain was NO JOKE!!!

I'm a Muslim from India and I'm really looking forward to visit Malaysia one day inshallah

But you can bring durian into my house 😂

I like how you still reply to new comments you earned a new sub. Keep up the good work (sorry if my english is not that good i'm malaysian)

you are welcome to bring in Durians into my house, the more the better..

Never say the word *Pig* and *Dog* , We Malaysian may think ur insulting us.

For ladies, don't simply walk with your bags hanged over right shoulder while walking along the left hand traffic direction. Enable easy target by snatch thief from behind. Happened few times in front of me. And do not simply leave your phone or wallet on the table while chilling at local restaurants. Somebody might snatch them.

Anyone living in Malaysia found this from their suggested videos? 🤔 Kudos to you by the way, great content!

“Never bring durian indoor” My father bring durian indoor Oof

You can actually read the clouds if the rains are coming. When the clouds above you gets pretty dark-ish. Its definitely coming in the next 5-10 minutes (depending on the color, the lighter it is, the likelihood of it coming is lesser). Dark clouds don't linger around you here like other countries. If no sign of rain is coming, it should be clear blue skies and sunny hot weather.

When ask people (Malaysian) for their names, you may also wanna ask for their preferred or exact names. Avoid from just call them with their last names. For Malay Bumiputra, the last name is usually the Dad's name. Chinese names can be three words, but u can ask for their maiden names. Indian names can be found quite long, but they always simplify or abbreviate their name into short names. (Formal situation) Just ask the name they usually tell the cashier at Starbucks to be written on their cups. (Informal situation) Don't just call by last name.

Will there are more important things that what you mentioned Those are tips for those who visits Malaysia for business : 1-dont say we are big company 2-they will take forever to respond to your email. 3-they won't be able to explain the situation in a proper way, so be ready to go to KG education style. 4- this will sound funny (no explanation at all). For example you try to involve them in a project once they reject the proposal no explanation to be giving. 5- we are too smart -a words come from most of CEO's and traders In Malaysia. 6- legal documentin take forever. 7- never ever paid for 1 Bill. 8- too much holiday 9- 85% bad mood 10- they will never thought that you are able to understand their language In the time they have only 20k words only.

When walking on the pavements next to the road, keep the shoulder bags away from the side of the roads to deter snatch thieves on motorcycles

Another ex Malaysian here being a fan of your channel. Why only 3 videos of your stay in Malaysia? It’s been more than 20 years since I left, but generally, your tips sound right. If you’ve been to public toilets in malaysia, you’d totally get why we do not wear outside shoes in the house. I do not allow outside shoes in the house here either (US). You can get a girl out of Malaysia, but you can’t get the Malaysian out of her. Well, hope you get to return to Malaysia and make more videos on Malaysia when the border opens.

In Hawaii, the "no shoes(or slippers) in the house", is a cultural standard also. I believe that was adopted from Asian cultures there.

That are very awesome and brilliant you make another person from any country know about that ,especially Malaysia ,all of this is true I love your video,thanks bro!!! And happy new year 2020 from Malaysia 🇲🇾

I know some 1. It's not good to visit relatives,parents,friends with bare hands (eg like no gifts or foods) 2.Malaysia is not a place where you could wear clothes which exposes the stomach or even a bikini 3.Wear good clothes when visiting religious places like the mosque or temple Wearing shorts or like normal tshirt is showing that you are rude at the religious place 4. Never flex at Malaysia The risk of your belongings to get stolen are very high at here especially at night 5. If your walking home It's best to walk with your friends or walk where there is more people so that if anything bad happens to you there will be witnesses So far thats what I know

It's okay to walk in the rain and get soaked. But never run in the rain.. it's even more dangerous if you slipped on the slippery floor. Rain won't kill you, that careless slip will.

Did you eat Durian? I smelled it but couldn't eat it. Great job helping the Westerner learn how not to offend. Malaysia is a beautiful place!!

Its a great video. Thank you for taking time to make a video about our country. Keep it up

You are right my dear. Thank you for your kind understanding.. Welcome to Malaysia again

You can always bring durian in my home and I’ll buy more so we can have durian feast

Do not decline when offered food. This is especially true when you visit or are invited to someone's home. If you dont feel like eating it for whatever reason, just take it with you to go (local say 'tapau') and throw it away once you've left the vicinity. You are not obligated to return the gesture. However, similar to western culture BYOB but rather instead of beer or wine, you could buy some fruits (or some of those local roadside stall snacks like the banana fritter) as a show of gratitude for the host.

this thing was in my recommendation .. and i dont regret watching it . its super fun to see someone giving advice to others about your country . im from Malaysia ! 🙋

I really loves these videos. I love seeing the differences in cultures.

Avoid Jalan Alor. Its a tourist trap. The food they offered are expensive and not that delicious.

no if you bring lots and lots of good durians to my house, we all gonna love youuu

Awesome video bruh. Thank you for promoting my country to the world. ❤️

I have an uncle who's a taxi driver. He said taxi driver can hiked up their meters. I wouldnt suggest hailing a taxi out of no where. Just use grab. Its fair and square.

In malaysia you can not also bring mangosteen inside the hotel cause it might stains ( mangosteen is a type of fruit ) I am from a malaysia but i dont live in kuala lumpur i live in another state of malaysia 🇲🇾

Im a malaysian and a muslim...if you hate me,thats ok.i understand...

Hi! I am a malaysian and this is my first ever video of you. You such a great man thanks for the video that help traveler come to Malaysia and respect our culture

I proud being Malaysian :) Who's else is Malaysian?

US people:durians is extremely. cheap! Malaysian:bruh

I'm from Malaysia and you're right don't do that things.

I'm Malaysian and just sharing my humble opinion on your list... 1. Unmetred Taxi should be totally avoided. Especially those taxi who are waiting at tourist spots, shopping Malls ... they are targeting foreigners/tourist. But if you have to use metered taxi ... ensure they are uaing meter before getting in. Monitor the driver's movement too as some will add a fee more Ringgit to the metre by pressing the metre... If taxi drivers refuaing to use metre, just say thanks and look for another one... its not worth wasting time arguing with them... Use Grab and there are many other e-healing services available now amd can be paid by cash too... 2. Shoe-off ... its true👍👍👍 3. Durian ... I personally don't like it... 😁 its is true that Hotels, pulic places and public transports are restricting it because the smell is not for everyome... on the other hands, most Malaysian love them as much as they love their spouse...🤤🤤🤤 so if someone want to bring durian to their house, they will be more than happy to say "Yes... and please bring more...LOL" Because its not cheap... so, i think, its not cultural offensive, you just need to ask before bringing Durian to someones home..😁 4. Touching somebody's head is not really a cultural thing here but its more about personal /individual thing... Example: elderly touches the youger as sign of love and care... I think you are referring to hitting or pushing somebody's head right?... 5. Displying excessive PDA... you are totally correct 👍👍👍👍👍 in fact most asian countries are not use to it. 6. Bring Umbrella - always useful to have one with you👍👍👍👍👍 Hope it useful...🙏🙏🙏

I live In Malaysia and for me I can bring durian in my house. But not allowed on other places but it is allowed if you get permissions. And yes, I don't bring umbrella usually. But if it is like nearly 11 month, I would bring every day because 11 and 12 month, raining is like almost every day. 🇲🇾Malaysia's weather is not easy to think weather if it is raining or not. When it is day and everything is normal, it can rain any second. Point is, you can't confirm the weather in 🇲🇾Malaysia.

That’s why Malaysia is culturally strong and discipline!!!😘#go malaysia 🇲🇾!!!

Apa kabar, there are nice people I have met in this beautiful country. The bahasa Malaysians like the nasi lemak and syrup drink is a must after meals,...chinese Malaysians like noodles and Indian Malays like their biryani rice. Terimakasi

Thanks ❤️From Malaysia 🇲🇾.Always Support.

Durian is fine! Most of us love durians but yes, alot of hotels do not allow durian indoors.

eh I mean they not wrong about dont wear shoes in their houses. like u wear shoes goin outside u step on grass example and u bring inside house it is quite dirty.

Im a Malaysian and although ppl pass things over my head i dont really feel anything cuz my height is short but i dont think that's really offensive here, or is it? 😂
