Kuala Lumpur vs. Toronto: Which City Wins? 🌍🏆 | 10 Reasons Why 

Come to a mall here and see. Haha. They are very boring and stuffy. And yes, you’re right. AC in SEA is essential. The heat is real! Just know you have the best malls ever. You’re lucky!!

Not a bad perception. I once went to Redeo Drive in Los Amgeles & the shopping experience was unreal. I love it. They have hundreds of shops and it's all open air. The weather is also nice. In Malaysia the weather is hot so prepare prefers to do their shopping indoors.

I am Malaysian, living in Seri Kembangan, Selangor state, only 20 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. I do not like malls, I avoid going to malls if I am in KL or any major city in Malaysia. Malls make me sick & I am sick of malls. They are too big, too crowded, too flashy, too commercial, too high with so so many floors I have to clime, so crowded parking spaces, and last but not least, they are very expensive -everything they sell is expensive. If I want to eat in KL, I go to regular restaurants (mamak or Indian Muslim restaurants, Malay restaurants, Chinese Muslim restaurants), regular food stalls (like so many in Kampung Baru & in my hometown in Kedah state), food courts, night markets, fast food restaurants, for examples. I enjoy eating & socializing at all these places wherever I am in my country Malaysia. But malls, no thanks. I lived in US many years, had a son born there. I did go to malls, but only small ones with only ground level floor surrounded by huge wide expansive area of parking spaces, no skyscraper many-floors type of malls for me. In Japan where I lived a year, I actually avoided all malls.

@@mustafakamalabdulsatar8517 someone finally gets me!

Why bother? They will not stand the heat in Malaysia if they go shopping outdoors. We don't need to fulfill their standards cos this is our country, we need AC! 😂

Canada is very beautiful yes.

Yes it is a very special place. I can’t wait to be there again, and one day move there.

Yes KL is the best. Can’t wait to be back!

I’m happy for you that you live there!!! It is a beautiful place!

try coming to sarawak/east malaysi..its even cheaper to live here..imagine earning CAD4,500.00 here and living a good life..

KL is a mixture of high and low. Concrete and jungle. Expensive stuff and cheap stuff.. don’t worry about food. And English is common, not to say all Malaysian speak English.

I definitely want to check out east Malaysia

I totally hear you. You’re right it is hard to compare. The info I get is from friends and family living in KL. At the same time I can only understand things from my own perspective.

Even comparing with local economy KL is still far more affordable than Toronto as we still can get food under rm10 while in Toronto even getting food under 10 dollars is a pretty challenging thing to get. Not even gonna mention rent n other stuffs.

@@nytt1256 yes thank you. The food IDs very expensive.

So much beauty on such a small peninsula. I can’t wait to explore more of Malaysia.

You are totally right! I remember my SIM card and Internet being a great price when I was in Malaysia! Maybe I will do a follow up video in the future ABS include these points.

@@yaaguu7 That sounds wonderful. 😀

@@Yasin_Affandi okay. I will definitely make that video. But I will wait a few weeks so it doesn't seem to be reparative. Thank you for your suggestions! It is a great idea!

@@yaaguu7 Wonderful. That sounds lovely. 😀

I hope you get to go to KL soon!!

Yeah, we have 24 hours restaurants/ clinics/ marts for those in need. Usually when goes abroad, I can only sees pub.. night activities are very limited. Am not saying we always need that in other countries, but access to basic necessaties would be much appreciated + time for mingling/ catch up things with families & friends without alchohol and being safe 😊

​​@@azwasaaidns3936 so true. KL stands out for being able to offer more than just pubs! I'd prefer Pasar Malam anytime.

@@narakanith24 hahaha food lovers you are! I love the chilling vibes we have while enjoying staples/ dinner outside with friends & families even though it was 1 am at morning. Don't worry, M'sia welcomes you again when it's time for you to 'balik kampung' here 🤗☺️

@@azwasaaidns3936 this is so nice 😊

Yes the differences are huge. I can only imagine how much more amazing KL will be in 10 years!

This is the dream

I love it too! Where are you from?

Haha enjoy!

Wow! I am honored! I really am passionate about KL. I can't wait to be back. Those two videos should be out next week I hope.

Sounds like a nice rest. We have 11 national holidays in Canada, all 1 day each. It used to be more in the past but they just want us to work harder.

Yes the food courts are the best in your malls!

Yeah I completely agree with what you said about the diversity police. And I haven’t been to the national parks in Malaysia. I want to go!!

Well it is an amazing place!!! 😊

Thank you for watching!!

Wow! Thank you so much! I love Malaysia!

Maybe it’s a nice place for you? How long ago did you visit?

Thank you so much!

Yes it is a true gem 💎 on earth 🌏

Oh wow! That is so cool! Good job Malaysia!

That would be a good one, but I don’t have any experience with that. When I do I will make a video about it.

Yes KL is so well developed and getting better every day!

Thank you for your thoughtful message and thank you for watching!

That is the goal. I just have to figure out how 🤔 Thank you for watching!!! 😊

It sounds amazing. We barely get holidays in Canada, and when we do it is not a public celebration, it is a private one.

​@@EGO0808Christmas is a National holiday in Malaysia.

​@@EGO0808 1 day is enough for recognition. Everyone gets a holiday. Unlike Canada, nothing for non-Christians. You clearly have lots of anger for wanting in excess.

​@@EGO0808Boxing Day has got nothing to do with Christianity. Even Easter is not a holiday here in Toronto. Basically there's only Good Friday and Christmas here.

@@EGO0808 Only one day of holiday in USA for christmas. Zero holidays for those other days you mention. Our biggest holiday is 1.5 days at thanksgiving to celebrate our conquest of the natives.

Toronto definitely has people defecating and smoking crack on the train too... tho probably not as often haha. I have to admit Toronto is definitely safer than NYC.

@@yaaguu7 NYC is an absolute cesspool.

@@Mongoose-ct6us but at least the food is better. No?

@@yaaguu7 I haven't been to Toronto so I don't know. Asian food in NYC is pretty good. Everything else is overrated.

@@Mongoose-ct6us but what about the pizza!?!?!?!!

Yes I agree! I feel better in KL!

Yes definitely

That is a great attitude. It is not something I see very often in Toronto. The whole “happy holidays” politics is a great example of what I’m saying. We say that in the west not to offend people who do not celebrate the same holidays. Whereas in Malaysia, people are informed on the details and meaning of other culture’s holidays, and know how to offer the correct salutation, offer the salutation, and also often partake in the celebration as well. For example, Christians are a minority. But everyone wishes each other Merry Christmas and decorates. Nearly everyone celebrates Chinese new year, regardless of ethnicity. Malaysians are a very well informed and cultured people.

Montreal is beautiful but I really don’t like the cold. As for being gay in Malaysia, the answer to that question is quite nuanced. I’d suggest checking out this video I made about the topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R6Piv2DZ0lE.htmlsi=xHVIpfOri5eJt5eH But basically, Malaysians are very accepting and loving. They are progressive but in most Asian culture and definitely in Malaysia it is not appropriate to show public displays of affection and to display sexuality (ie. wearing very revealing clothing, wear something that talks about sex, wether it be a shirt that says “SEX” or “I’M GAY”). Sex and sexuality is a private matter that you keep to yourself, regardless of your gender or sexual identity. There are no laws protecting queer individuals from discrimination, and, like many places in the world, sodomy is a crime. In the west this may seem unjust, but when you see the culture first hand, you realize the beauty in the privacy that far surpasses one’s desire to wear the rainbow or wear short shorts. What I’m getting at is: Malaysians are cool. They are one of the most accepting people’s on this earth. You being gay is not a problem. There is no active hate against queer people. But everyone there loves their discreet and private culture. Did this make any sense to you?

A good wow?

Yes such a huge bonus. Gives you so much freedom to explore.

I’m sure your kampung is very beautiful!!

Yes that’s how I feel about Toronto. It is so boring and expensive! I’m happy you didn’t get stuck here!

I'm too young to really know! hahah but yet you have a great point!

I love your comment. It reminds me of falling in love with Toronto when I moved here 15 years ago. Toronto is a ghost of what it once was. I suppose I miss that city you described. I found it affordable 15 years ago too. It has changed so much. It is kind of scary and everything everywhere is so expensive. And the TTC is not what it used to be either. It is very unreliable now. How long were you in Toronto for?

@@yaaguu7 4 years.

@@samraj3179 oh nice. What made you decide to go to Toronto?

@@yaaguu7 I went there as a student for my tertiary education, at the U of T. The TTC had 58 Stations with 2 lines only, the Bloor - Danforth line (Kipling - Kennedy), and the Yonge - University line (Finch - Wilson). The extension to Scarborough City Centre from Kennedy Station was under construction then. I have been up the CN Tower to the Space Deck more than 10 times. On one occasion they had to deny me access to the Space Deck as the wind velocity was more than 100 mph. Out of the 3 revolving doors at the Observation Deck, 2 were freely rotating powerfully due to the powerful wind. The other door was jammed in time with a wooden block to prevent the wild rotation. I managed to sneak out through the gap on the jammed rotating door. It was a wild and frightening experience, facing the powerful gust of wind.

@@samraj3179 wow! That is a wills experience at the CN tower. As for the Scarborough extension, they actually just closed it. They decided they don’t want to fund that line anymore and they are going to tear out the train tracks and use it as a tunnel to drive buses. Isn’t that crazy? The city has become so backwards.

Thank you for being awesome and having such an amazing channel!

Greater KL has 9 million people, it is huge.

Yeah it’s hard to compare. When you look up Toronto, you will automatically get results for greater Toronto. But Malaysians only consider official KL as part of KL. It was explained to me recently. And the rest is Glen Valley or something like that? But I guess I look at KL as I would look at Toronto. So I’m looking at Greater KL, which, as a whole, is much much bigger and much more developed than Toronto. I’m really trying to like Toronto more. Haha. I’m going to TRY and make nice videos about Toronto 🤞

​@@yaaguu7Klang Valley.

@@GajahMengaumTheBruce oh yes. Haha. You’re right. I was close tho 😉

@@EGO0808 Toronto ends at Eglinton Ave. That was the border. Everything above there is boring & lifeless. Everything below it is dangerous.

Definitely not a melting pot. Toronto is starting to be a melting pot lately. KL is definitely more expensive than the rest of Malaysia.

Thank you so much for watching. You have great points here.

Yeah winter is not my favourite!! I like the heat! ☀️

Thank you for your kindness. Yes I agree with you completely. I would go as far as saying Toronto feels fake. I hope you get to visit Malaysia. It’s unreal!!!

Salam! Thank you for watching! I still have to visit Jakarta!

Yes the tap water still runs in the cold winter. In Toronto at least. But it doesn’t get TOO cold here. But in other parts of Canada where it is colder, the pipes need to be heated. If not they will burst. 💥

It’s okay. Toronto doesn’t feel emotion 😂😉

Thank you for your comment. I don’t know of any other place where so many different festivals from so many different cultures and religions are celebrated. Do you?

That is so interesting. I’d like to learn more about this.

Yay! Thank you for subscribing! 336 is one of my favourite numbers!!

After you from Dubai? I've always wanted to go?

KL for the win 🏆

The cold is not my favourite. I prefer the heat.

@@yaaguu7 Living in a warm and hot country such as Malaysia, I never realised this until I had to go to the UK during winter. The duration is short, but the feeling of wanting to go back is unimaginable. Sometimes we don't realise, that "the grass is always greener on the other side"

@@bandungmee yes the grass is always greener.

Thank you so much! Yes, KL is the best!

Malaysia Boleh lah

The Kim's Convenience here in TO is completely a different set up compared to what is shown on the show. And the neighborhood isn't very welcoming (unsafe) lol

I have walked by it many times and think I have gone inside, before the show existed.

@@narakanith24 I forgot, what neighborhood is it in again?

It's at Queen and Sherbourne

@@narakanith24 holy crap! I’ve never been in that store then. I would never go into any store in that neighborhood! Extremely dangerous!!!

☝️ points to video

Haha

I like how you call Toronto a scam city. Have you been? Sounds personal.

I don’t mean to insult KL, comparing it to such a lowly place.

KL vs Toronto. KL can definitely be compared to TO. KL has much more to offer and is definitely better!

@@narakanith24 KL is the best

The world is changing fast and has already changed in many ways. Change is accelerating. Canada, US, and UK are clearly on the short end of the stick.

Respectfully, either you havent travelled much, or you have a hard time admitting that we have built ourselves a nation that can stand tall.

Yes I am serious. Crazy, right?

I’m speaking of Toronto specifically here. Yes Canada is very big. There is a lot of beautiful barrier. And I have Toronto and Malaysia a tie on that issue in the video.

This video was about TO vs KL (not all of Canada). Also he did not say that the natural attraction in KL is better than TO. It was a tie. He also found the Bird Park in KL to be stunning, unlike any other parks in TO. It's no doubt, that Canada also has some stunning attractions.

But not Toronto. Not really. Just the island. And it is okay.

Yaaguu7 is a name I came up with based on a spiritual experience I had.

@@yaaguu7 thank you for your reply bro.bless you bro.

@@user-jm6yc4ws1l bless you bro

The food is really the worst part

Thank you so much for watching and saying hello!

The flu is laaame. Is that your cat in your profile pic?

@@yaaguu7 yeah im Malaysian and I don’t know what I’m doing here in Canada 🤧 Yap that’s my “Asad” means lion in Arabic 🦁

@@mohammadshah7134 your Asad is majestic! Do you have any plans to return to Malaysia?

Yeah it’s a sad thing

Haha you’re right

😅

Right now I work as a server at a restaurant. Tips are a good income and provide good enough living to travel if I don't eat out and save money. I don't know if tips would be as good in New Brunswick but maybe it's worth a try. If you're asking about what job I plan on doing when I leave Canada, I plan on being a RU-vid creator. It is a hard journey and not the most realistic, but it's what I want to do. I was learning Python and coding but I decided that I do not want to be an employee anymore because it doesn't suit my personality. But if you take the time to learn coding (you can go to school or do it online) then you can get a good job overseas. In the future I plan on making videos about my transition to moving to Malaysia. I. Basically gonna film. Everything in my life. My goal right now is to grow my channel fast to have a regular income. I don't know how long it will take. My goal is to move to Malaysia by the end of 2025. When I get closer to my move I will be posting videos about it on RU-vid. I hope I answered your question. What do you currently do for work?

Oh wow! ☺️ thank you for the compliment

That’s interesting! Can you give a holiday as an example?

I don’t know many people who are having an amazing time in Toronto. I don’t know if you see the news at all but middle class households now go to food banks. Do you think that is normal?

​​@@yaaguu7that is true! Also the rising cost of living does not help the younger generation to be more financially stable!

​@@yaaguu7not to mention how the rental market is now. It is super unaffordable!

@@narakanith24 the struggle is real

@@narakanith24 it is a shame. The average cost of renting A BEDROOM is $1400 now.

Ahahahahah. I love this comment!

There are extremists everywhere. Malaysia is definitely the best!

@@yaaguu7 Malaysia extemist comes from the stupid politicians for their own political gains

This is how they get attention

ahaha. Propaganda vid. I like that.

Haha. I have been to Thailand and Indonesia. I love those places but don't think I would live there. But I haven't been to Singapore yet. Is that where you're from?

It is TO vs KL. Waitlah for To vs Sg, or To vs bkk. Wait your turn.

People are obsessed with Singapore lah

In comparison to TO, KL has much more to offer. If you think KL is boring, can you imagine what TO would be like?? Don't get me started with food here in TO...oh boy!

If you think KL is boring you definitely would not like Toronto.

@@narakanith24 what is there even to do in Toronto?

​@@yaaguu7I don't even know anymore. I could only think of the island but that would only last for two months. We don't do much for the rest of the year! Unless you wanna do something outside the city which would cost you like a million dollars!

@@narakanith24 haha careful the Malaysian viewers might believe your exaggeration.

Thank you for the comment. I’m sure as Malaysia develops there will be more budget for everyone.

Your comment made me hungry. 😋 I can’t wait to explore so much more of Malaysia! I love how so many cultures are celebrated. I will respect Muslim culture and looking forward to learning more about it too!

Love Nonya food. Awesoness

Hahaha. It definitely feels that way.

What about them? Haha. Maybe a woman should make that video not a man.

They will probably tie me up! Jkjk. Everyone I talk to in Toronto agrees with me. Things are changing very fast here.

I mean it’s a weird thing to say. But it is definitely a top 10 city.

@@yaaguu7 Did you visit Otot-otot sauna? the most famous sauna in KL.

Hey bro. What’s up!
