I'm an American from Seattle been living in Malaysia for the past 23 years and its fantastic. I love it. Will never go back to Seattle for sure. The food is amazing and cheap. I get my Soc Sec and my investments in the US and I live a fantastic life.

I'm Malay my grandmother is Chinese, my dad is Malay and my mom English Malaysia Truly Asia Proud to be Malaysia God save the King and Queen Allah Selamatkan Raja dengan Permaisuri from Warrington, England.

If you guys ever come, let me take you around I speak the language and will feed you like a champ. BTW going to East Malaysia is no big deal tons of flights to Sabah and Sarawak daily.

There are Mexicans in Malaysia from the Mexican embassy. And by the way, Mexican food is getting more and more popular. Taco's and Tex Mex is growing fast

- Peninsula Malaysia n Borneo Malaysia are just Malaysia. - - Borneo more biodiversity and so much exotic species. - Kenyir lake are Man made lake. - We hate our political drama for now. But we love all our Kings soooo much!! Only the stupid don't. - yeah we british accent, but now more to Manglish 😂 include me.🤪 as long u can understand that communication. - Malaysian also loves Ayam Penyet from Indonesia.

Malaysia has a Motorbike culture, the bikes are used for daily drive like going to work, shopping and other stuff. Some people in the southern part of Malaysia would ride to work to Singapore everyday in a bike and earn 3 time the salary of an average Malaysian worker. Car is like a weekend commodity or used for "Balik Kampung" (Road Trip back to our hometown) during festive seasond or school holidays.

Hello, I'm Malaysian from Sarawak in Borneo. I'm one of the 20% living there, I can say I'm Malaysian, but not Malayan, and I'm half Malay, half Bidayuh. To answer your question about the travel between Peninsular and Borneo, it only takes almost 2 hours or less by flight. If you ever come to Sarawak, I recommend you to try Laksa Sarawak and Kolok Mee. Its really delicious, thus, they are also other local cuisines such as Linut, Ayam Pansoh, and Midin. BTW... Love your reactions.

8:57 Fun fact: The first ever Perodua's car; the 'Perodua Kancil' is name after this animal, The Mouse Deer. Inspired by a Malaysian folklore animal called 'Sang Kancil', a trickster mouse deer that is very smart & cunning. I guess it's kinda similar to American Folklore, The Tale of Brer Rabbit .

Best part about Malaysia is the food. If you travel 365 days in Malaysia.... you will find 365 different food varieties. Cheers

Very few westerner but lot of retired british, american and european retired in Penang using the My Malaysia second home visa.

British took the red and white stripes from the old Majapahit empire that rule large portion of our region back in 13-15th century cause they're a powerhouse of the sea trade. our decision to have that on the flag is not colonial reason. it's part of our own history

I'm one of those 20% Malaysian who lived in the Borneo part of Malaysia. I'm definitely Malaysian, but I'm not Malayan, because I live in Borneo, and I'm not Malay, because I'm Melanau, one of the diverse ethnics in Malaysia. Transportation wise, Borneo, especially in Sarawak region where I lived, most people here owned either an AWD or 4WD vehicles. Sarawak and Sabah of the Borneo owns the highest amount of off-road vehicles compared to the Peninsula. The most popular vehicles here is the Toyota Hilux, a vehicle very similar in size with the Toyota Tacoma, which is very reliable. Then there are also other vehicles such as the Nissan Navara(Frontier in the US), Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton, and other pick-up trucks. We don't really have any choices but to buy these types of vehicles as some parts of the region doesn't have proper roads built, and some places are like literally in the middle of nowhere in forests and swampy areas. Protons and Peroduas also have their shares in Sarawak, but these cars mostly used in the cities. There was rumours years ago about Proton having a pickup truck prototype, but it never went into production. Edited: Also, you can try watch this, a jamboree event held in Sarawak. https://youtu.be/a-N4eI1K-o8

actually at sarawak east malaysian we also have malay or melayu there.

Mexicans are not common in Malaysia.. although Phezz might get mistaken as a Malay. Mexicans and Malays can look similar. There have been cases of Malays getting mistaken as Mexicans in the US.

I’m a ‘Malaysian Borneo’ from Miri, Sarawak living in the Peninsular Malaysia for the past 25 years. Most of my families are still in Sarawak and we travel for regular visits twice a year or more by taking a 2 hour flights to and fro. Business people normally take daily flights, a day trip or sleeping over for 1 or 2 days. So it’s very easy to travel from the East to the West of Malaysia and vice versa.

Anthony Bourdain said Sarawak Laksa is the breakfast from God. If you want to make tradional Tattoo just like Anthony Bourdain do come to Sarawak. Sarawak also organised World Music Festival every year. Most Malaysian are English spoken. Most American like to eat roti canai and nasi lemak. You can search Kuching City in youtube and see the condition of Kuching City. Kuching City is the biggest city in Borneo..

I had to take Spanish language as an elective subject during my university days, and my teacher was a Mexican lady who married a Malaysian Chinese. So, you will not be the only one.
