Thank you for sharing all this information to the world.

[@bungaialoevera]

2:35 Yes, true. But being from one of the Malaysian Bornean State, we now can get nice commercial rice wine. Sarawak even has our own beer - 1602 craft beer. I'm no drinker myself but once in a while, I would like a sip or two too. This is probably not known to you because expats don't visit the other side of Malaysia except for the beaches and diving in Sabah, so their impression of Malaysia is peninsula-centric.

[@Taken134]

I live in Malaysia. KL is the capital and the Petronas tower is in KL but I live in Sarawak my city name is MIRI. 😊❤❤😊❤❤😊

Hi Jack😊, Cool Vid👍& I 100%❤M'sia /"Negaraku"❣...& with-that-said: just wanna politely point out that 'the word' "cheap" isn't 'a word' that's associated with M'sia (yeah, it sure is quicker to say "cheap" when speaking vs. e.g. writing), yet: it'd be much appreciated please whenever 'words' e.g. "inexpensive" , "reasonable", "lower-cost", "affordable luxury" are used instead of "cheap" when comparing prices($)/amounts of money($) spent for anything in M'sia vs. e.g. The USA, Europe &/or Australia since M'sia is definitely 'A Highly Quality Country' while being "reasonable in costs" along with being reasonable in many positive ways...Thank You In Advance For Your Consideration(s) Jack

I admire the way you empathetically acknowledge that it's not always affordable for the locals. It reflects a deep understanding of their perspective.

[@JackAlderton]

Thank you for this kind comment. I have many local friends and have realised how fortunate I am to have been born in Australia. I hope to educate my family and friends back home and raise awareness and understanding.

Welcome to third world

[@kopxpert]

One thing foreign youtubers always fail to mention or more likely take for granted of is how english is widely used in Malaysia especially compared to countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam or even east asian countries like Japan, S. Korea, China etc. Pretty much everything important is written in english (signboards, apps, instructions, restaurant menus etc plus there are even multiple english speaking radio stations too). U can also go to hospitals, police stations, government agencies etc and use english there without much issues. Hey, I'm a local, and my english is ok right? 😅

[@JackAlderton]

Very true - it was very noticable when I travelled to Korea 😆 Malaysia has fantastic English and almost everyone can speak multiple languages.

[@norhafiz336]

Ok la tu

[@puremind6227]

Malaysia is naturally safe. No earthquakes No hurricane No tsunami No gunfire No mass shooting ❤

As an expat from Malaysia living in Australia, I do miss the food and the white sand beaches Malaysia has to offer. Enjoy your time 😘

Hi Jack, I totally agree with all your reviews. Australia is in high inflation with no job offers. Immigrants and Aussies are struggling with high cost of living. Most people are homeless and relying on social welfare. You are smart to be living in luxury in Malaysia.

Amazing review. We wanna “Thank You” as a Malaysian.We honor positive vibes that You carry as of changes the atmosphere on social media, spreading the good news on Your platform. I live in KL past 28 years.I am native indigenous from the East of Peninsula of Malaysia so called “Borneo LIMBANG Sarawak” very closed to Brunei. I am in love with KL CITY .Amaze with the skyscrapers.Shopping Mall just amazing. I’ve visited Langkawi Island,Pangkor Island,Tioman Island,Cameron Highland,Genting Highland,Perhentian Island,visited Singapore,Thailand and Bali.Those were the days We touring around town to Ipoh.From Petaling Jaya to Kelantan longer hours driving 20 hours! back and forth to Langkawi and Penang Island,Taman Negara Pahang.We love travel and camping. Malaysia fantastic place to live,dream that I would never taught. I’ve met lovely,so friendly people here in KL,make lots of friends. There are also negative side and I choose to speak about the positive. Take a walk and a leisure time in the afternoon,cuppa of tea at Mamak Shop,The Masala Tea amazing. Feasting up to supper. I enjoyed the bus ride around KL City so much included out of town. Frequent travel with AirAsia for many years. “THANK YOU” for choosing MALAYSIA to live,explore the inner side,the beauty of mix cultures between so many races living in harmony. I served in privates health care services far too long,love seeing all kind of people.KL has the best public transportation. Glad You choose MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 as Your home. #TRULY ASIA ❤ 🇲🇾

Malaysia is an up and coming city with lots of potential for growth, and prices are generally still on the affordable side of things. It has all the modern infrastructures and convenience of a developed country, but at a developing country's cost!😅😊

[@JackAlderton]

100% Nick!

I’ve lived there for 2yrs also, about 10yrs ago, absolutely loved it! Your views are exactly the same as mine! I’m only back in this hole because of my kids 🤷🏻‍♂️ until then… 😁

Haha thanks for your comment, glad a lot of people are resonating with my thoughts. Enjoy your family time! That is one thing I miss while living here

ohhh that hits a soft spot, I totally get it, best way is to make a new circle off friends there and hopefully it will flourish into something good :) @@JackAlderton

[@hawaahmad8238]

I'd like to add a couple more points .. One being our medical facilities is no. 1 in the world and talking bout food, you can get food 24/7 ...

[@JackAlderton]

Great point. I actually didn't mention healthcare because I want to make a full video about it. Malaysian healthcare is WAY better than Australian healthcare. By far.

[@nurkhairizadmd.zawawi9975]

Sprinkle that malaysian pride everywhere 🎉

[@rickyhor7498]

Hi Jack, perhaps you need to add no.11, the Malaysia has the most public holidays in the world, we celebrates almost all festive seasons such as New Year, Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas, and the list goes on 😅

[@JackAlderton]

Haha yes, that is also a good one. I remember in the first year I moved here we got a public holiday because the KL soccer team won, amazing

[@EGO0808]

Balanced views on Malaysia, being an expat myself here in KLCC, I agree with all.

[@AlbertKoshi23]

Cost of living is definitely a powerful and valid reason

[@jypnationmissa84]

I love ur comments..u always mentioned that some of your points might be different from local points of view...ur comments definitely not over the moon or fake just to attract the view..in the word i can sense honesty in your point about Malaysia.

[@JackAlderton]

Thank you.

[@FrancoisT]

Enjoyed the video, your content and energy in presenting. We planning to be in Malaysia for extended periods in next couple years and it was very nice to hear and affirm some of your points. All the best.

[@fauzanriez9472]

Malaysia only has 2 weather (no winter by the way, and never snow) which are sunny all year round with occasional rain. There is a rain season which you may want to avoid. It could rain several times in a day (20-30 minutes long) or in some areas it may rain non stop for several days instead . Unless you do like to walk in the rain.

[@JackAlderton]

I personally like running in the rain 😆 I find rain bearable when it's warm, but terribly uncomfortable when it's cold.

[@daengzool6023]

How about Health Facilities? I think it is one of the best. You can walk in to any private clinics if you are not feeling well, you could see a doctor and get medicines in that clinic itself.

[@JackAlderton]

You are absolutely right. I plan to make another video just about healthcare. It is WAY better than Australia. I was able to see a specialist, get an MRI scan and see the specialist again a few hours later, for free. In Australia this would take weeks (or even months) and cost a lot of money.

[@asmariaasmaria-iq3ip]

Thank you for 10 things U like about Msia. Hope 10 things U like still won the 10 U don't like. Of course there are pro & con in part of life.Think positif will make us feel better. As a malaysian I hope you will love & remember Msia with your sweet moment. Make an experiment & experience it. Go & xplore beautiful of Msia. It's truly diverse with people, language, culture, religion, food, history etc.

Great video & interesting perspective Jack 🙏 I appreciate the cost of living is lower than 🇦🇺 For me the weather is one of the downsides of 🇲🇾( constant humidity & heat) having no distinct seasons is not for me) 😰 I enjoyed visiting KL 👍

Fair enough! I do blast the airconditioning 😆 Thanks for your comment.

[@mantul8301]

Very interesting point you've spoken off, thank you mate😊

[@你是有缘人]

Absolutely on points🎉 People really need to travel around to gauge the reality comparisons. Still, it depends on individual luck and fate. Many might not have such capacity to work it out. But for those who can, why not travel more and choose while they have choices in hand. When, a person is financially free and capable basically most countries around the world are good(i mean those good countries - most Europe and some Asian countries) to live but they lack of cultural diversity and tolerance like Malaysia and Singapore. Then, why Malaysia? Simply put - abundance of fresh products where you need not to worry about like people in other parts of the world. Able to live a bit lavishly and quality life but at a very discounted price. Boring? Just take a week or month to get wild in Thailand or Japan or Indonesia or elsewhere ... And back to Malaysia for a good relax and recharge ❤ - a dude from Melaka

Great video, we’ve just returned home to Australia from 5 days in Malaysia and 7 days in Singapore, and Malaysia was my favourite. I’m already planning our next trip. Can you please share the link for the 10 things you don’t like, as I can’t find it.

[@JackAlderton]

Glad to hear the Bec, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. There's so much to see in Malaysia, I still have a bunch of places and things to do on my list after 2 years! I haven't made the video yet for a few reasons but I will say some of the things I don't like is the rise of negativity towards foreigners & the need to be careful with what I say (some lack of free speech, or more accurately the collectivist mindset). Also traffic and the inefficiencies in the way many things are done. I will make the video, I just need to make sure it's well thought out & researched because I will definitely catch some heat. The things I love definitely overweigh the negatives, so I try to keep positive vibes as much as possible. Enjoy Aus!

[@Blackkiwie]

Nice video Mate... I am not sure but did you mention the #1 ease about Malaysia is the fact of the English language spoken and used widely. 😊 It helps tremendously with assimilation compared to countries like Thailand, Indonesia, etc in South East Asia. Especially for bureaucracy issues as well as hospital visits. The ability to express yourself on a daily level whatever your activities are makes living in another country much easier when ones Mother tongue language is also spoken. 😁

[@JackAlderton]

That is very true - thanks for raising this. Perhaps it's something I take for granted. I'm amazed that almost everyone here can speak at least 3 languages - very impressive!

[@webtotheflow]

Interesting insights Jack! Grab especially sounds interesting, we had something similar in Dubai. Hope to see your channel pop like crazy 🤟🏾

I am a Malaysian. I am quite agreed about the first one about weather. Just go out anytime or days and doesn’t need to check the weather app. Everything that you shared you like I quite agreed. The only thing that should be improved about Malaysia traffic is terrifying. 😬😬

[@safuraaramli]

fellow canberra unilodger here! 🤚🏽 yeap, the accomodation / housing cost in australia is crazy.. 😭

[@zaharizak]

Your 10 points are spot on. I watched plenty of youtubers' videos on their 10 best or 10 worst things about Malaysia. Your list differs from them a little bit and I agreed to all 10. However, I'll wait till you posted the video on 10 things you don't like about Malaysia before I subscribe to your channel.. make it good mate 😂😂✌

[@JackAlderton]

Haha appreciate that. I'll give it some thought but I'll tell you one negative now - people get very defensive. It's hard to constructively criticise anything without getting in a fight. Though this is the same in most countries now.. including Australia, so it's not unique to Malaysia!

[@zaharizak]

@@JackAlderton If the criticism comes in any other language but English, it is fine I guess because only citizens from that country will suck it up. Otherwise, if it's in English, the whole world will get the misinformation (if it is misinformation). So.. make sure you know your stuff.

Another plus point is shopping online either with Shopee & Lazada is super fast & cheap too. I know it takes a long time for online delivery in Melbourne

So true! I could definitely make another 10 things I love about Malaysia. Another one is shops staying open late. Australia is dead after 6pm!

It's a tad too hot and humid in KL. A nice 27 degree breezy day on Bondi beats any day in KL.

What advice do you have for westerners, I'm from the USA, lookng for work in Malaysia? So far I haven't had much luck so any useful insights could be really hepful.

[@JackAlderton]

I'll try to help. I didn't actively seek work in Malaysia, it found me. Having said that, it's pretty obvious to me that Western education and even being a native english speaker is highly praised. I would try to find a writing job or something related to english language, you should be a shoe-in if you're from the USA. The hard part will be the wages, you might have to accept a fair bit less money unless your skillset is similar to the above.

[@deshwitat_2]

not sure if u know bout this,but regarding the alcohol thing,think i seen on most expat vid regarding this is,since malaysia @ any SEA countries are less streesed,and expat can spend 1/2 @ 1/3 from their earning (USD convert RM) working here (malaysia),they tend to less drink as they less stressed,headache, and the weather since sun is most out,its improved the mood,hence less the drinking..some even dont even drink anymore as they getting more happier,leisure life vs how they are in the western country..

yep I definitely agree with that! Makes a lot of sense. I hardly drink anymore and I don't party here, it's been much better for me mentally and for my self development. Thanks for sharing.

Great Reaction Jack...in Malaysia you just need to mix or talks to the local freely make safety more safe. For the vehicle petrol/gasoline, the Government will implement the Targeted Subsidy system shifting from the current blanket system in mid-2025. Meaning only around 85% of Malaysia will still enjoy the subsidies rate for Ron95 at RM2.05/ltr whereas the 20% Malaysian (the riches) & foreigners shall pay at market rate estimated around RM3.00 - 4.00/ltr which is still cheap for those earning in USD.

In recent years, expatriates coming to Malaysia must be very satisfied, as the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit makes it very affordable for them. However, for us Malaysians, traveling abroad is becoming increasingly difficult.

Haha very true - thanks for your comment. Yes i absolutely agree. Unfortunately I have to go into the office 3 times a week, so location is the most important to me. If i had full location independence I'd definitely move further out. I've been to Kajang, very nice!

Excellent video!...I live in rural Vic and have just discovered Malaysia and can't wait to get out of Oz , it's slowly but surely become a country I just don't want to be in anymore. Totally agree with you about the "wokeness" and it just seems like a no brainer moving to somewhere like Malaysia 👍🏝️
