Appreciating Malaysia Through The Eyes Of Expats

You live in a paradise... And then you see people trashing around. So for me, being patriotic is taking care of your land, and I think Malaysians can do better than that.
Are Malaysians overworked? Are we too overprotective over our food? We get the deets from some expats and our new hosts.
Happy Merdeka and also Happy Malaysia Day in advance from us at Clocking In!

Spot on...if u are patriotic...u need to take care of your country cleanliness.

[@eilahhamdin9668]

I've answered by starting from myself years ago

[@jonmath4182]

One of several basic things, yeah

[@sogekingable]

True. Being patriotic is to take care of the land. So please dont throw rubbish everywhere. We can make this country more beautiful.

[@mohdrizuan8478]

My opinion as malaysian we tend to make a lot of complaints about our country, not because we hate it, but because we know by complaining we can make our country better together... And all that complaint are all by mouth not by heart.... Couse at the end of the day we still love our country...

[@akiramen9535]

Setuju.... complaint tandanya kita bersuara bukan tuk underestimated, its more to become better so government & all peoples taw ke mana harus kita bawa negara kita dimasa depan.. its optimistic in national pride

[@rambutans5857]

Agreed. We complaint by hoping an improvement. We love Malaysia!

[@catherinehsm]

Absolutely !

[@bumihijau5670]

Maybe not complaint...we should view it as feedback or comments...but not all can accept constructive feedback.

[@kfcmalaysia5580]

Malaysian are actually very lucky because cost of living here is relatively low and standard of living is relatively high, speaking from my heart as a Malaysian.

[@daisylyskystars8962]

Mixed feelings. Proud but also sad in regards to our ethics towards caring the planet and accountability for our tasks/jobs. We can do better Malaysians! Malaysia Boleh! InsyaaAllah :)

[@playbetter7671]

the first guy who talked about patriotic, you have my respect sir.

[@edreanna2479]

When he say Malaysia has the best food.... Me: I love this guy already... He is in my good side

[@essiesdancevidsandtravels6917]

The Chinese and Indians are overworked .... Malays like to lay back and chill they always make me smile and give me a dif perspective that I can work and be relaxed as opposed to countries like America where ppl are very impatient and poking each other w a stick to go overly fast and makes what can be enjoyed stressful, lol .... Thanks to the Malays for inspiring me🙂👍💝

[@zedono1391]

Very true. Most Chinese and Indians I met in Malaysia work for more than 12 to 15 hours. They said they can't buy houses with discounts like the Malays, they have to give 51% equity of the businesses they started to the Malays, they can't buy land cheap like the Malays, Only a small percentage of Chinese and Indians are allowed to study in public universities so many of them have to pay a huge sum of money to study in private institutions. That is why they are very impatient and are always rushing and working long hours.

[@Sarah-yg8kt]

@@zedono1391 for public universities there are no such quota except to universities that are under MARA because they are under ministry of rural development, not ministry of education. Most public universities have largely Chinese and Indian populations. In fact in Malaysian no.1 public university , UM, has more Chinese population than Malay in STEM sector

[@shukriramlee]

@@zedono1391 Incorrect. It's East Asian money culture. Indian do not work really hard like Chinese. Beside, not all Malay eligible for the benefit.

[@jesusnotgod5635]

Glad to open your eyes to a different perspective.Also glad to have inspired you

[@ausfitken]

I absolutely agreed with what brings people together in Malaysia is the FOOD!! Yum! That really sum it up!

[@whoshere767]

Good job guys....we need to love our country more and embrace it as a child who needs our love, attention and respect plus the discipline rod..once in awhile 😂😂

[@pvmoore1154]

Great job! Lovely to get a variety of perspectives!

[@leneekay1]

AWESOME guys!!! Yay!! Cheers to each & all of you.

[@kiffyshimmy6551]

Ammmazing video I should say! It totally sparks my emotion to see how we’ve come together so far. I guess one of ‘Only in Malaysia’ moments so far is that we are multilingual. Not to say fully but in some terms like ‘Rojak’, ‘Tapao’, ‘Anne’, ‘makan’ etc.

[@8tuvang]

Nice and helpful to get perspectives from real expats. Great video.

[@Fitnesstrainingpersonaltv]

Great Documentation, great people! I'm a Fan! ❤️

[@aliffikmal9389]

Did u know, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Indonesia 🇮🇩 and Brunei 🇧🇳 are majority islamic country that are rich,nice and peaceful..it is one of the great example to the world that says majority islamic country is not good for visit because of the war that was happened on the other islamic country which always represent of western countries

[@CJinsoo]

great video, very well done, you should have more views given the quality.

[@jonmath4182]

When I was a student in the US, they were running a campaign on keeping public places clean, in particular against litterbugs. I have long said that Malaysia should run a comprehensive, prolonged and effective campaign about this ourselves. Just like we have run a campaign in which the kids tell off their parents for not doing the right thing, we should also use similar psychological approach in this campaign against littering, including throwing cigarette butts out the window of vehicles. Many adults apparently need to be reminded how a waste bin looks like, it definitely isn't long like several kilometres long, it isn't huge like a few km² big, doesn't contain water, still or flowing. Yup, these adults need to first be shown the photos of an actual waste bin, then followed by seeing and touching the real waste bin in person, they probably have never seen one before 🙄

[@bowlampar]

Malaysia is always a 'Paradise' in my daydreams, it is so weird! 😨

[@AA-ke5bk]

Daryl's accent is really satisfying to listen to. Anyways, great vid guys!

How nice this turned into a "anti rubbish awareness" section! 😁 I will come and help cleaning up!

[@ExoSquadOffical]

[@ClockingIn]

Thank you very much for your kind words :)

[@vincentchin88]

Hear that! Being patriotic means don't thrash your land!

[@markbrazil4408]

I’ll visit KL end of September and audition for host!

[@haikaldanial2709]

Politicians are always dividing us. They are the true rubbish of Malaysia. But still whatever comes, we still united together. Any problems, we will face it together. Kita jaga kita!

[@terang5189]

I think most of our problems came from accountability. We often put the blame on others, government, system, people around, other races, other religions when we don't actually seek to improve ourselves and be the change. I'm talking about all Malaysians generally, no one specific. We should walk the talk instead of talk the talk or talk the walk. Great production and I hope we could all learn from this.

[@Glee73]

7:14 Ben got it spot on! Politicians have their own agenda's and try to divide Malaysian's but it really doesn't exist in reality.

[@mohdnazrinabdullah9589]

KL is flooding too.

[@clip012]

[@Ksatrian0243]

In conlcusion, Malaysia is all about the food.

[@redindian2209]

at the end of day, you're not coming for good, enjoy your holiday

[@squidster3128]

Malaysians who complain a lot need to live and work in another country. I've lived and worked in HK, China and Singapore. After these experiences I have no more complaints and I take my electoral responsibilities really seriously!

[@zedono1391]

There are some positive points. Most expats I met who had worked in Malaysia didn't have anything positive to say about Malaysia. They just hated the country.

[@phillip244]

Did you ask them why they hated Malaysia? It'll be interesting to know. Maybe they recognised the elephant in the room ...

[@lekezajmi]

I lived in Malaysia for 8.5 years, and I had a lot of expat friends. Let me assure you that there were lots and lots of expats who loved being there, and also "expats" like me who left and who miss not just the memories there but everything about Malaysia. There are pros and cons about every country.

[@phillip244]

@@lekezajmi Let's hear the cons.That'll be mighty interesting. Don't hold back,pls.

[@aa.r2588]

The video format is kinda dull, plus with that brownish couch 🤢 need more lighting and hype. And those guests talks monotonous. 🥱 Just my two cents.

[@syahmiwafiy2675]

Haters gon hate

[@jonmath4182]

Don't take those words as hatred or mere negative comments, that'd be putting things in a too narrow perspective. Instead they should be pondered upon as ideas how to produce an even better outcome, not to say it's not good already as it is. No one should rest on our laurels thinking everything we do is already perfect for people to admire and accept
