I worry that a day would come where Malaysia becomes too touristy and that has a negative impact on locals in terms of cost of living, culture, security etc. Call me selfish but I'd like to keep this amazing county as a *relatively* low profile destination. For example, very open borders means easy access to some categories of very unwelcome people who abuse the privilege as evidenced by recent raids on undocumented immigrants.
Way to go Jimmy and Pauline. I have to concur with you. Malaysia is SEA-lite for westerners, affordable modern metropolis for other Asians without the hefty price tag and cultural melting pot for the forward thinking digital nomads. It really has so much to offer. I just love the cooled down evenings after the monsoon rain where the streets and commercial hub come back to life. Amazing!!!
Been to Gold Coast, Perth and Melbourne. All i wanted after landed back in Malaysia is food. No shops open after 5 besides than convenience store 😂 great one mate ❤
I stayed in Perth for 2 yrs. Found it extremely boring. It's beautiful but shops close at 5. Only close later 7pm on Thursday night , Fri and weekends at 9 and 10 pm respectively. Very quiet after 5. Not exuberant like KL. After 2 yrs, we headed home to Malaysia. We felt so alive back home. Also food prices in Australia was not cheap then and more expensive now
If you are English speaking Westerner want to start to explore South East Asia, Singapore or Malaysia are great starting point. Both have advantages, but overall, I believe Malaysia will better choice.
Thank you for all positive and kind words 🙏 do visit Malaysia 🇲🇾 again. Next month is the month of Ramadhan the best time to explore Malay food because of the Bazaar Ramadhan 👌 Ayam Golek (smoked/roasted chicken), Ayam percik (roasted chicken with coconut milk gravy), ayam madu(honey chicken) and so many chicken dish for you to try😋
Not verified so take it with a grain of salt, but new king from Johor has supposedly been more critical of the changes to mm2h and is more business friendly toward foreign investments, from what ive seen the most affordable version of new mm2h is the silver option 5 year family visa requiring not a monthly income but roughly $100k investment similar to the previous mm2h where the money is held but can be used after a year to buy property or pay for healthcare
Nice and informative vlog !❤ Malaysia is boring for single dude that looking for exciting night life and entertainment. For a family person, Kuala Lumpur has a low crime rate, better air quality,lower cost of living, with the same amount of rent you will a bigger space in KL and more trees than Bangkok !
Having studied in the UK ( similar to Aus) through the gruelling winters for 8 years, at 3 pm most shops are closed and nothing happens in the towns / cities and we are forced to spend our evenings and nights at home...Msia is heaven sent
Making Malaysia a starting point for your SEA holiday will be setting the standards pretty high in terms of expectations for the rest of your SEA holiday. I'll advise you to make Malaysia your final stop and make it a longer stay to rest and recover from your previous hectic SEA holiday schedule. You'll appreciate the relaxing nature and yet modern holiday experience in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Just my 2 cents.😊✌️
Yes, Malaysia is underrated. Not only is it great for holidays but even long stays as well. Wish I had the time to go more often. Thanks for your videos showing and reminding me about Malaysia.👍🏼😎
JIMMY AND PAULINE LET ME FIRST SAY YOU GUYZ ARE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ❤ AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS 💯 % TRUE AND WE AGREE 💯💯💯💯💯 THANK YOU GUYS 👍.
Currently major of public bus in malaysia only accept TNG, so if you only have cash, maybe u will prefer to use Grab service or get a TNG card head away at village grocer or any other places.

Now is Visit Malacca Year 2024, next week will be Chinese Lunar New Year, then Ramadhan, next Hari Raya Eid Fitri and on and on never ending and never stop..😂 Another gigantic skyscrapers to visit and view the TRX Exchange Tower and the second tallest tower in the world the Merdeka 118.. check it out !! 👍🇲🇾✌️
Our country is not flawless as a whole right now, but we are taking steps in that direction, and we expect it to be realized in the near future if the economy continues to improve and politics remains stable.
M’sia have much more interesting stuff.. like quite a number of beautiful island resorts… water is crystal clear…. Advance Medical system …. reasonable price and very good service… generally people are very friendly…
Some people can use apps on phones to translate. Buying groceries can be an issue in other countries in South east asia as ingredients are not in english
Certainly, I agree that Malaysia is a wonderful country to do a lot of stuff. It has diverse cuisine, cultures and spots. It's ashamed that this beautiful attractive country is underrated.

The traffic team at Cameron highlands / simpang pulai are being investigated now. Caught for bribery on youtube by UK retirees (treat the globe channel). Very likely same team that solicit money from you. Moral of the story, do not hide their face. Just show it.
Tks for the honest review & its very informative to others especially potential tourists who hav not been to Malaysia. Do come back to visit us & explore more. Stay safe & God bless❤
@@MayMay-May you search youtube what police say la…Klang is one of the highest crime rate in Klang Valley…Head police from Bukit Aman himself mentioned Klang is Malaysia’s Colombia…you search search
Malaysia may not have volcanoes like indonesia, or desert and snow peak mountains like in peru. But the rest we hv it. Wonderful islands, great cities, food, culture, mountains without snow, forest some of the oldest in the world, marine life is abundant, record breaking caves, wildlife.
Great video, Jimmy and Pauline. You've captured the one attraction the majority of travelling RU-vidrs miss - that Malaysia is 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙮. True, KL doesn't have the glitzy allure of Bangkok, for instance. But that kind of showy, ostentatious appeal is for hot-blooded testosterone-laden jocks. So for younger travellers looking for R-rated excitement, Malaysia will certainly lose out. For a touring family, however, Malaysia certainly ticks all the boxes as a family-friendly destination. Once again, great video, and a helpful one as well.
