📌 Hey everyone, we read your comments and it's gotten way out of hand. My video went viral on Facebook facebook.com/MelanieGuintuOfficial and with that, comes a variety of misinterpretations fb.watch/rxtREThbL2/ This is all a misunderstanding and it’s a shame that one video can stand out of all the hundreds of positive videos. People always leave a negative review when something bad happens but rarely leave a positive review when something good happens so the reviews tend to be skewed. Let's stop the hate, cyber-bullying and keyboard warriors. To be clear, we just arrived in Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and this was our first encounter outside of the airport. The Grab driver did not say hello to us, then hit my partner's head with the trunk without apologizing, and then slammed the door with our bag straps out. How would you feel? Not once did I show a bad attitude. In fact, we stayed smiling and I continued to say how beautiful Kuala Lumpur was. But sadly, no one noticed that. Watch the video again with an open mind so you can really see what happened. Also there's a huge misunderstanding: There is no long queue line waiting behind us. It's a pick up and drop off parking area. There is another lane which is the actual main road and it’s empty. There is no traffic. The car that was honking was trying to get the attention of their passenger, because it’s a passenger pick up area. No one was honking at us. As travelers, we understand that first impressions right out of the airport especially with taxi drivers aren’t a good representation of a country. But wow, the nasty comments got way out of hand and to be honest, it didn’t deserve it. No one deserves it and we hope not everyone is like this. If you watch this whole video, we try to stay positive and enjoy the beauty of Kuala Lumpur. No one really credited that. We know we're good people and we hope that everyone can move on with their day. We will continue to search for the kindness of locals and will post the usual positive travel content moving forward ❤

Wellcome to Malaysia hopefully you will have a good holiday here

Most Malaysian speak english quite well. So you have no problem to communicate with local citizens while you are in Malaysia

[@hafizhassan9786]

The meal you ate was our national dish called ‘nasi lemak’ where they have many versions of it. Nasi is Malay word means Rice and Lemak is mean Creamy due to rice cook with coconut milk. However the basic one is coconut rice infused with fragrance pandan leaf, fried anchovies and peanut, sambal sauce, cucumber. Then you can add some protein eg fried chicken or chicken and beef rendang, squid, etc. It’s a Malay dish however other ethnicities have their own version of fusion of nasi lemak. It used to be served for breakfast but now you can have it all the time for lunch or dinner. Even McDonald and KFC also serve their own version of nasi lemak.

[@MelanieGuintu]

Hi Hafiz! Nasi Lemak is my new favorite!!! Oh wow I did not know that Nasi Lemak means "creamy rice"! That makes it sound even more delicious! I did not know that there are different versions of Nasi Lemak! Oh wow it's a breakfast food? I ate Nasi Lemak for dinner hahah. OMG I have to try Nasi Lemak at McDonalds and KFC thank you!!! 🤩

[@hafizhassan9786]

@@MelanieGuintu You’re welcome and Selamat Datang ke Malaysia! :). Btw you supposed to mix all of it while eating nasi lemak, anchovies and peanut are not side snack but it’s part of the dish, but be careful as some version of sambal sauces can be a bit spicier than others, so just mix it a bit and try it first before mix it altogether. Other Malaysian popular dishes are Nasi Kerabu with mixed veggies, varieties of Laksa, Char Kuey Teow (similar to Pad Thai but different taste), Satay (Sate), and Roti Canai (pronounced as Roti Chanay) Malaysian flatbread which has been voted as the best bread in the world in 2023 by Taste Atlas and the 2nd best dish among 100 most popular dishes in the world for 2023/24, and many other varieties of foods, desserts and drinks.

Malaysia is multicultural and multi religions country beside Malay as native and aborigines and also indigenous people in Borneo many people around the world immigrated to this land included Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Europeans. Malaysia also was colonised for 400 years by Portuguese, Dutch then British hence the diverse society. British brought many labours from India and China to work in rubber estates and tin mining. 60% of Malaysians are Malays and indigenous 25% Chinese, 11% Indians and 4% foreign workers and expats. Malaysia is also popular destination for Koreans, Japanese and retired Europeans. There are nearly 4 millions foreign workers from Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam etc for low skills work. Malaysia is also one of top 10 destination for international students..

[@MelanieGuintu]

Malaysia is so multi-cultural it makes it so unique and beautiful that way!! Oh woow I love the history lesson about why there are so many Chinese and Indians and Arabs in Malaysia!! That makes me even more interested in Malaysia and it's rich culture thank you for teaching me that!!

The tag line.. "Malaysia Truly Asia"... Fits the bill alright. 😁

[@geopoliticalnutz7350]

Penangite here... that definitely looks authentic, however, it will never be the same as what's on the streets here. So hopefully you guys come here to Penang, if you want true authenticity. Lorong Seratus Tahun is a real road here in Penang means "100 year old lane", Famous for their Curry Noodles here. But if you don't like spicy, I wouldn't recommend it. 😅 Anyway, that driver gives off gangster vibes, lol.

[@zolk290]

wish both of you have a pleasant stay here .,,, welcome to Malaysia!!!🇲🇾

[@lazyreuvin]

I travel to Malaysia often and have found bringing cash to change is the best when travelling there (just be careful!). When you exchange your currency, stay away from money changers in touristy areas (airports, local attractions), and shop around before you choose a money changer. Different malls around the city often have multiple money changers and they generally compete to give you the best rate. It's generally not a massive difference depending on how much you exchange, but getting a little extra ringgit could pay for another meal or two during your stay.

“Selamat Dtg ke Msia”- u say it right girl.. the intonation like local. When rent a car, note that we drive in the right site.. use highway, it’s convenience. U need ‘Touch n go’ card for toll, etc. Explore our islands-Langkawi, Perhentian kecil & Tioman. Don’t forget the food - Ramly burger, cendol, ABC, Nasi ayam, nasi kerabu, roti canai, mee tiaw basah, Teh tarik, milo, sirap bandung, etc.

[@fauzanriez9472]

Correct. Touch n Go card is mandatory, no more cash payment. The card does link to an app which you could use as an e wallet, which you could top up electronically. Get the card either at major petrol stations or LRT/MRT train stations or similar.

Theres also a massive botanical gardens in the city, home of KL Bird Park ~ the largest free flight aviary in the world and many other parks. On the outskirts of KL city itself you can find nature attractions such as waterfalls and mountain resorts such as Genting Higlands, Bukit Tinggi and Frasers Hills.

Glad to see you guys enjoyed the Malaysian street food, nasi lemak and char kway teow.

If you guys are still in KL, check out the Malay food in Kampung Baru, the Chinese food in Chinatown and the Indian food in Little India, the Middle eastern food in Bukit Bintang, the Japanese food at some of the malls, also in Bukit Bintang.

[@MelanieGuintu]

@@Yasin_Affandi Thanks Yasin!! Nasi lemak and char kway teow are my 2 favorite Malaysian foods so far!!

Penang (or Pulau Pinang) is one of the 14 state of Malaysia(Malaysia is a Federation of States type of nation) . The food is said to be originated from the state. Most of the restaurant workers in KL now are not local Malaysian. they came from Indonesian, Phiiliphines, Myanmar ,Vietnam, Laos and even from South Asian and west asian. So they might have problem to explain to you about the local authentic foods and some of them dont speak english well. and becareful with the beggars and homeless in KL, most of them are not locals and they are the Rohingyas Refugees from Myanmar.

[@MelanieGuintu]

Wow this is so good to know!! That's what makes KL diverse I literally feel like I am in Malaysia, India, and China all at once!! And wow most beggars and homeless in KL are refugees from Myanmar? Interesting to know!!

Can't compare bali with kl. One is a holiday destination island, one is a capital city and transportation hub like singapore. Also pad thai is a thai food created before ww2, while char kuey tiaw is a chinese dish. They are not related. But i am glad both of you tried malaysian food although quite expensive in the mall compared to street stalls.

24:03 basically , what the real history want to tell you is, The British colonials brought the Chinese from China to Malaysia (Malaya That time) to save them from the persecution of the China Emperor during Opium War in 19th century because they collaborated with the British againts their own emperor. The native Malays those days sees the British as colonials and dont want to work with them to plunder the wealth of the nation back to London. Most of the native malays were the one who fought the British for independence . While you in Malaysia, you will keep hearing the Malaysian Chinese calling the Malays as lazy.

Just ignore that driver attitude,he doesn't represent us as a whole.We love interacting with people all over the world that came here for holiday or stay on long term basis. Maybe he woke up at the wrong side of the bed 😂😂

Those chinese who came from mainland of China to Malaysia as a tourist, recently (couple of years ago) and never returned, can be easily recognised... they cannot speak malay neither english. For your information... all Malaysian citizens (regardless chinese, indian or other races) speak malay (melayu) and they (other than Malay (Melayu)) are allowed to speak their own language among themselves and most of us can speak english.

[@chickensoup9869]

They speak different dialect of chinese. Mainland mandarin =/= malaysian mandarin.

[@Aeybiseediy]

China mainland Chinese speak different Mandarin accent. Also many local Malaysian Chinese don't really use mandarin as everyday language. Many speak their own language such Cantonese,hokkien, hakka..

@@isdin4775 Ohh that's why I heard so many different languages being spoken! Very cool!

Hopefully the Grab driver not ruining your stay here..that’s rude attitude..this type of driver only does that for cash & didn’t think about others feeling especially tourist..he’s not representing Malaysian at all..sorry for that ya..hope you enjoy your stay here..

[@grace___380]

Why are y'all so nasty in the comments? We are used to our Grab drivers' behaviours doesn't mean foreigners should. She never once showed attitude nor demanded to be respected. Calm down, Malaysians - yall are literally proving a point. We are the friendliest of people but you lot, clearly aren't. My god, I feel more disrespected reading your comments and that too, coming from a Malaysian. Sabar ye kawan-kawan. Imagine kalau korang kena camtu, then gone lah, kena kasi viral ini itu bagai. Dahlah the driver hit Matt's head and didn't say sorry if that was me, dah lama driver kena sound for hitting me on the head like that. I'm sure you guys would too, so be nice pls :/ we aren't bad people tau

Can’t wait to watch more videos of yours from the trip! Oh also if you guys haven’t gone to bazaar ramadan, I reckon y’all to do so cse you’d get to try tons of local foods there as it is currently the Ramadan season ☺️
