This is Why I Love Malaysia (after just 24 hours)... 

In Malaysia are big no wheat ganja huf huf or bring it inland , caught make u jailtime 😊 happy visit joe

Do visit KLCC park or Zoo KL Negara, cool spot 😊

PasarSeni from wetmarket now become mall ie handcraft shops 😊

Right now in Malaysia so hot, ❤The temperature can be Reaching 39 hot

It definitely exceeded my expectations!

There were stairs and also a ramp to go down, I wasn’t really walking down there just went down to start the video there 🤷‍♂️

that is correct, bro. once they are sure you are short staying foreigners, they will scalp you. jalan alor (alor street) is not that bad if the stalls or eateries display the prices.

Yea good call my friend, I’d likely never actually buy something from that street!

Was about to say that. For something like 1000 bucks, I would prefer to buy directly from the official stores where there will be warranty and freebies included with such purchase!

Yea I knew right away, I wasn’t even considering to buy a watch but I wanted to show the salesman in action on the video 😂

😂​@@benfishermin

Gawd, that was a hairy moment. Glad you got out unscathed from the clutches of that counterfeit watch huckster. I bought an ‘Omega’ from a roadside seller for RM25. 😄 Nice subs too. Did the seller really say that, or were you just reading his thoughts 🤣

He's sounds like bangladesh not local people...dirty scammer n no manners

Yea so far the Malaysians speak such good English, I’m surprised how good it is actually

Nice! I’ll try this route 🙌😁

Thank you very much! 🤩

Loving the Indian food here! Interesting I gotta check out some videos of the place thank you 🙏

Yea it’s just too hot to walk in the daytime here. But I do need light to film so it’s tough!

Yea I don’t drink any alcohol or smoke cigarettes. In Thailand I use marijuana though.

@benfishermin is there a reason for using weed? It is illegal in singapore or malaysia. We consider as drug trafficking for certain amount which leads to execution.

@@keangwooichoo6138 Yea I use it recreationally for enjoyment, relaxation, pleasure. I don't use it in countries where it's heavy punishment.

Thanks a lot nice to hear, I gotta keep up with it on a regular basis. I’m not a tattoo artist anymore I’m an entertainer on camera haha

@@benfisherminreally?? Wait till u go to Sarawak, probably u gonna set up your own tattoo business there.hahaha😂

Greater KL is klang valley advits surroundings which mean it include PJ, Subang, Klang, Shah Alam, Puchong, Sepang, Putrajaya, Kajang, Bangi, Damansara, sungai buloh,..... Bukit Bintang, klcc, trx, KL sentral is all in city centre mean downtown KL.

Thanks. Always a lot of conflicting information in the comments 😂

Nice to hear that, I definitely have a bit more pep in my step! Saw few others say they aren’t as into my Malaysian vlogs and I was surprised, I think they are just more into Thailand. For sure I can tell editing the vlogs there is more energy and I look healthier. Gonna try to do most of my filming while sober in the future and keep smoking to after the vlogs 😁

Correct. He just doesn't know where to look.

Yup, I hope he read your comment. Ben, if you're reading this, like our friend @mohdzaki said you can walk to Kampung Baru from KLCC. Visit during the evening (5pm-7pm), there's bazaar Ramadhan, you can feel the local's vibe and atmosphere 👌

Thanks I ended up doing a video trying out this place 😁🙏

Thanks a lot my friend 😁🙏

@@benfishermin u bet

Thanks that makes sense

I was just doing it to show how they like to negotiate, I really had no interest in actually buying it. I guess it’s bad to waste their time but I think people should see how things work

Yea I didn’t really want to buy anything just showing how those guys act when selling, and how much cheaper you can negotiate the price down if you really want to buy something

@@benfishermin good👍

True. Gov takes care of locals.

im pretty sure there's malaysian people who are homeless. there's some uncle whos been sleeping at the laundry place around my area. pretty sure he's malay with few chinese uncles too.

@max-lee facilities are provided for locals but they refuse to stay!

​@@max-lee...they've children maybe children don't want to take care of them or this people like that life style...don't want to disturb their children be with their community ,friends circle....

Interesting thanks

Thanks a lot 😁🙏🙏

Thank you my friend 🙏

Nice enjoy your time there, I’m sure you’ll be ready to head back to Asia pretty quickly right?

@@benfishermin Like yesterday. It's rainy and dreary and dangerous here. Yecch!!!

You’re right I should use this more often!

Go to Negeri Sembilan... Original menu.. 'masak lemak cili api daging salai' The taste so authentic....

The fish and chicken curries are really good. I definitely prefer the Malay ones over the Indian style, since I have stomach issues it’s much less harsh for me. I think the Indian versions often use yogurt, or more tomato, or a combination of things that really bothers my body. The thin curries are what I look for now, not too thick of a base/curry.

yep, you do know your curries. i am a malay myself. we substitute the yogurt and milk components of foreign recipes that we adopt with coconut milk to make our meals more suitable for our taste buds and stomach. if you like coconut and coconut based foods, you’ll get to enjoy plenty of our local dishes because we put coconut in almost all of our cookings. stay off those black-UV-&-heat-absorbing t-shirts so you may be more comfortable walking around in our hot & humid weather. 😉

Nice I gotta try!

Loved the kampung baru bazaar. That’s interesting I have to look up about the open house hosted by the king, that would be a cool video 😅

Yea that makes sense, any time I see someone in high end design branded clothes in SEA I have to assume it’s imitation, so no point to buy the real thing 😂

@@benfishermin You're right 😂😂 My friends actually check all the labels and certificate when they saw me with a brand new Coach bag during Eid 😂😂

Thanks a lot for the recommendations, sounds like you walk even more than me! What time do you usually like to walk that it feels most comfortable with the weather?

@benfishermin Ha, my wife says I'm crazy because I walk mid day. Usually, after breakfast, around 11 am. And before 3 pm. The best times are mornings or late afternoon when the sun is lower. I don't mind the heat, but I look a mess 30 minutes into my walk. I walked into a mall to cool down and get a drink (important to hydrate) and the lady behind the counter took one look at me and said, "it's hot outside."🤣 I now wear moisture wicking shirts. They don't look like you just came out of the pool.😁 Tip: always wear a hat. I noticed you weren't wearing one in that Ramadan bazaar vid.

@@darrylk808I think I need some non-cotton shirts that are not so thick! I too look like an absolute disaster after a bit to the point people are almost concerned with how wet my shirt and shorts are 😂

@benfishermin 😂 go to stores like Brands Outlet or Padini and get cheap moisture wicking Tees. I got mine for $5-$8 each. They dry fast, even in Malaysia. Because they dry fast, you can wash them in your hotel, squeeze them out, and they are dry the next morning. Decathlon has cheap sporting wear also. Check out their hats, too. The Nu mall at KL Sentral has all these stores. BO (not a good acronym) is on Bukit Bintang between Isetan and UniQlo (two down escalators. They don't want you to exit). There's also an unerground tunnel to the Pavillion mall food court from BO. Decathlon has a store left of Petronas towers. In a smaller mall by the Four Seasons, I think.

@@benfishermini thnk u can try to go to uniqlo outlet , hv variety of dry/airism t-shirt 👍🏻 or aeon topvalu brands outlet 👍🏻

That place is one of my favorites! Dilla Restaurant in Chinatown. Some people in the comments tried to tell me not to eat there since it’s in a tourist area and wasn’t crowded, but they really didn’t know what they were talking about 😁😁

Thank you my friend

Thanks, that’s gonna be a hard habit to break after all this time 😂

There’s a big ramp to go down there. I’ve seen some people drive a motorbike down there and sit to smoke, and saw a Chinese couple down there. It’s not a great spot to hang out I just wanted to start the video there

I think it's based on states? Iike Kelantan or terrenganu (not on this one) add sugar to all dishes but KL Selangor state is safe. Just kurang manis on the drinks (I just pick kosong instead ) I'm not sure why is he so worried about the rendang being sweet though I wonder what type of Malaysian food he had earlier to give this worry (I never had a sweet rendang in KL )

Yea true, even if something doesn’t taste sweet at all I really have no idea how much sugar was added for balance, it’s tough! I really need to cook my own food with the way my body reacts to things 😵

@@benfishermin it's okay, as long as you're not allergic to Peanuts or Shellfish lol. If you are concerned about sugar levels I get it, just avoid the drinks or Remember the work "Kosong" which means zero added sugar in Malay. Hawker stalls milk tea/ coffee are not healthy as they use sweeten non- dairy creamer mainly made from palm oil + sugar and very little milk powder ( I support cooking with palm oil but not this processed unhealthy cut-cost crap) but they have other drinks options usually like black tea/ coffee or fresh fruit juice sometimes. For Food Malaysia is not all Muslim Friendly dishes yeah we have Chinese food (pork curry noodle soup a must try )too as well other culture food for much more affordability and yummy. This is how I think when Malaysian food is yummy is not just Malaysia culture food but everything else like Japanese, Korean, Thai, heck some western dishes are good too ( Japanese and most Chinese food is safest no sugar added in cooking along with curry dishes from Indian/ Malay, BUT Thai dishes might have sugar added in it since traditionally Sugar is a condiment for them to eat with but Malaysia version might just add in some of the dishes)

@@liyenong2017 peanuts are no good for me! no legumes, no dairy, no soy, no sugar, no gluten. NO FUN lol

@@benfishermin normally things that have a tangy or sour taste is balanced by addition of sugar, its like how people use sugar in red pasta sauce to balance the tangy taste usually for Malaysian dishes in a big cooking pot its only from a teaspoon to a tablespoon or two at most. But you're no eating a whole pot of it your portion is like an eight or less. Its really small you wont be able to taste the sugar.

Ah cool thanks a lot!

China is ahead of the game. I’m curious to visit and form a real opinion on the place, it’s hard to just from videos

Nice thanks for your comment 🙏🙏

Yea people don’t want to get hot and sweat, but I wouldn’t say it’s bad for your health, sun is actually quite good and necessary for good health

Yea makes sense, it’s a shame because I like to walk a lot and also like to film outside when it’s light out

He doesn't read much I guess before arriving here.

@@keangwooichoo6138yeah. he didnt. he;s not interested in history too. XD

This is actually great information, and thanks for sharing it, but why so much hostility? Are Malaysian people this pissed off at every visitor that doesn't read a history book before visiting their country?

@@lkabong5529 Apologies if my reply seemed aggressive. Absolutely not the intent. As for others, can't really speak for them, but there seems to be a strange trend that a large number of "new" visitors to Malaysia (KL in particular) lately seem to arrive on a whim with no prep other than getting a ticket, make assumptions about what to expect, and then are upset when Malaysia turns out to be nothing like Bangkok, or Manila, or whatever other place they used as a reference and things work like it's a different country - which it is. Malaysian are very proud of the country and are very welcoming and friendly and have a reputation of going out of their way to make visitors welcome. Again, just my opinion and am not trying to make excuses for everyone who commented.

That’s helpful! Thank you @psodhy

I’m really looking forward to seeing Melaka on my next trip! And I’ll definitely check out PENGHULU ABU SEMAN thanks so much 🙏

Good call, the bazaar there was great and Wanjo too

Eexactly, I am a Malaysian. I travel a lot to Indonesia and Thailand. I love those 2 countries, there are some things they have but we don't have. So what?

He just came from thailand and he’s been to bali. So they’re his points of reference.

Thats the point, its different thats why hes comparing. Why would you compare over the same thing? 😂

@gaelkamil I understand but it is futile to compare in my opinion. Even the people and culture are different. Maybe infrastructure can be similar. But weather is also different too. Malaysia is nearer to equator. Language is different, religions are more varied in malaysia eg taoism, sikh religion, Islam, Chinese Buddhism, Hindus (not balinese but india hinduism), Christians eg Anglicans, catholics. So if I travel, I won't compare. If it is the same, earth is a boring place then.

Noted, RU-vid police

Ah makes sense thank you

That makes sense!

Yea some of the best food I’ve ever had

Good to know this thank you

I ended up going and it was really great 😁😁

Mostly I like to get some exercise and sun is good for me, but not too much

Ha yea I was hoping to show this in the video, I was never actually looking to buy from this guy 😂😂

@@benfishermin 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks!

Yea good advice thank you

Haha I was so curious how hard he was gonna push it 😂

😬😬😬

😅😅😅

Yea I was hoping to show how some of these guys negotiate and how you can get the price down 10x less!

I slipped up 😂

Something that Malaysias neighbors won't do is tell you how and what to think when you visit their countries. I can appreciate that you're proud of your country, and your insights are very helpful for those of us who wish to visit someday. But please relax and let this guy make his video the way he wants. I mean, he just came from Thailand, and you want him to be silent about the differences that he is observing between the 2 countries? WTH dude?

My mind is very open but there’s also nothing wrong with comparing cities or countries with each other. It’s very normal to compare somewhere you visit with the place you live. It doesn’t mean one is better than the other one. Ramadan bazaar in kampung baru was great!

@Ikabong5529 yea I’ve not really experienced this before, some people getting upset about comparing their country to another one. Most of the people here actually really like Thailand and have good things to say. Malaysia is not better or worse than any of its neighboring countries.

Ok 🤔🤔🤔

Thanks 😅

He just hate cameras / vloggers 😁

Yea not the best for walking!

Haha some people hate cameras / vloggers I suppose 😂

I try to show a mix of the environment and my face. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ya. Totally not for walking.

Didn’t really think about it, just wanted to start the clip there

😁😁😁

Thanks 🙌

Nice, does that mean you own some casinos? I love poker but don’t really play anymore. Pretty sure he didn’t know I’m from NY lol. Average monthly is about $1000-$1300. Weed is very harsh punishments here but also need a break anyways for tolerance, and give my lungs a rest.

Thanks I gotta try

Yea I mostly just wanted to show people on video how these guys like to haggle. And those Islamic style buildings are awesome!

They are not Malaysians. I will never buy anything except food in petaling street.

​@@keangwooichoo6138Yeah wouldn't buy anything for 1000 bucks in PS, should just head over to the official stores and look for sales lol

Ha I bet he pays around $25 for those too 😂

@@lkabong5529 well it's his prerogative

If people are so easily triggered it's not your fault

I think he'll stay longer also because he's getting good views and gaining new subscribers and he can say good things about Malaysia as there are hardly any Thais on this channel so no chance of them being triggered if he praises Malaysia

Unless you're doing a RU-vid video and you want to show how such an interaction might happen in a county that most will never have the opportunity to visit.

@@lkabong5529what i meant when i said dont ask for price when he didnt intent to buy stuff is for his sake. because the sellers there will keep pestering you to buy it. i dont care much about the sellers especially over there. interaction with the locals would be better though if wanna know about the country.

I wanted to show how vendors on tourist/knockoff streets will behave, normally I would never do this if I was not filming I would just keep walking. I think showing it can help people know what they’re getting themselves into

Maybe the cook was pattani/kelantanese..

Things like rendang or curries can easily have sugar added depending on the place, I always ask them and sometimes they’ve added sugar, other places don’t

Yea pretty cheap knockoffs

Thanks 😁😁🙏🙏

Yea I will never buy, I just wanna show people how they like to sell 😁

Thanks!

Google maps always

Nope i don’t

As a malaysian, I couldnt agree more....even the vendors are fake malaysians probably with fake documents

👍

I spent quite a lot of time in Bali and it has some good food, the Indonesian dishes are great but sometimes I felt the freshness / food quality was an issue there. Here has a lot of the same dishes or at least similar and I feel it’s very delicious 😁

I'd add that another main difference is that the Thai people seem to be way more relaxed.

​​@@lkabong5529​ Yes, we especially abhor sex and/or poverty tourists that spills over from Thailand and Bali, expecting the very same thing they get from there simply because we all shared the same brown people's blood, therefore must be subjected to the very same lifestyle and have our own pricetag, eager to prostrate to the white people no matter how penniless they are. Malaysia being a multicultural country (as opposed to homogeneous country like your beloved Colombia of Asia) is a testament itself of how relaxed and tolerant we actually are, we don't need sex tourists approval especially when they come from countries that don't even know what is a woman.

The English here is definitely strong it’s great! The locals can much better understand my content due to the high level of English

Do you really assume that every white person living in Thailand is a sex tourist? That’s a really narrow-minded and ignorant way of viewing the world. There seems to be some deep seated racism going on here too unfortunately. What’s strange is that Thai people speak rather highly about Malaysia and the people here. Actually most people here in Malaysia speak highly of Thailand and Thai people too. But a few in the comments like this guy seem to have trouble accepting the way they do things over there, thinking they are somehow better, maybe due to religion or parents with a broken belief system as well.

Those watches he had definitely were on the cheaper end quality wise, probably $10-$25 cost to him

Of course 😁 excited to come back soon

Unbelievably hot ☀️

Yes of course, I was trying to show this on video 😁

🤔🤔🤔

How about 24hour in Malaysia kuala lumpur?​@@benfishermin

It’s different though since the country isn’t called Malaya

Haha wtf 😂

Well people actually choose between Malaysia and other SEA countries on where they want to live, no one is considering the North Pole 😄

please seek help

​@@lkabong5529At least our help is RM1 nationwide. Can you say yours is the same?

I don’t want them to be the same, I think you’re confused, must be a language barrier

After seeing this guys last couple of videos, Malaysia moved to the top of the list of countries that I want to visit. But after reading negative comments like yours it moved back down to the bottom.

@@lkabong5529 you dont need to come to Malaysia if your idea is to compare and berate our neighboring countries. What next? Go to Singapore or Tokyo and then condemn Malaysia for our primitive culture and backwardness just to get more likes, comments or subscribes??. Just stay in your country or maybe just compare Wyoming to New York .

​@damihasan7101 please seek help

​@@lkabong5529We don't need your money. You are simply not our demographic in the first place, no love lost. We never relied on sex/poverty tourists' money to be Asia's big player in tourism all these while. You lot don't have much anyways to be looking down on us this badly. It's good you noticed this early that Malaysians don't bow down to you solely due to your white skin, unlike our neighbours. You come as a friend, we'll be more than happy to return the favour.

This video is my first impressions of the country. I didn’t even say I thought Thailand was better in any way. I live there and so that’s why I talk about it. I notice a few people here such as yourself (not most people) project their racism toward places like Thailand. It’s fine if you don’t like the place, and it’s good to be proud of your country. But if it bothers you when someone says there are similarities between the countries, or compares Malaysia to where they live, you are simply prejudice. Both countries have great and unique things to offer, one is not better than the other. If you truly think you’re better than someone because of your country or race you need to seek therapy my friend.
