[@mohamadarieframadhanhaali3728]

I think you guys are the first youtuber i see that covers all places in peninsular malaysia, from the deep jungle and waterfall in kelantan, from white beaches and islands at eastern coast until the city of malaysia administration...other vloggers just show langkawi, cameron highlands, kl and malacca, those videos are same and boring😅..

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Mohamad, sounds like you have watched a couple of our videos, thank you for your support!! We love to venture off the beaten path and discover the true essence of the countries that we visit. It is a such more rewarding experience and Malaysia was no exception!

[@user-tl9wv6wu9h]

This year Independence Day parade (31 August) will be held in Putrajaya. Wide road (boulevard) 1km before Palace of Justice towards mini roundabout in front of Pink Mosque is parade will take place. VIP seats will be just in front of Palace of Justice and it is the best spot to witness parade. If you guys still in Malaysia please come to this event.

[@jaykassim3474]

Please be there guys 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@BucketListTravellers]

It would be really spectacular to visit, but alas we will be home in Australia. We got to experience Merdeka last year in KL and it was a massive event!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awwww! Thank you for the encouragement.🤗🤗🤗

[@ainanrahim8101]

While it's so awesome to see tourist sing praises of our country when they visit tourist hotspots like KLCC, Batu Caves or much of those big**ss malls, it is just so refreshing to discover your take on Putrajaya, our kinda best kept secret. I'm like 52 now, so naturally I have a soft spot for places like these. I appreciate your featuring Putrajaya and wish that I would see that place again one day

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Ainanrahim8101, thank you for your kind words. Yes, we love to step off the well known tourist route to discover amazing places like Putrajaya. We were so surprised when we visited it, it is such a beautiful city, one that all Malaysians should be proud of. Thanks for watching!

[@brothersman524]

It is a shame that many tourists don't know anything about Putrajaya when they visit KL - it is literally between KLCC and the Airport. I went to Putrajaya and loved both masjids, the parks, the lake and the bridges as well as the Presidential House. Putrajaya is a hidden gem that is worth visiting

[@BucketListTravellers]

We couldn't agree more with you! We only visited Putrajaya as an afterthought, but so glad we did. Thanks for watching!

[@saeffareez3337]

Thanks for sharing the amazing video on Putrajaya and so beautiful and spectacular!!!🙏

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're most welcome, thanks for watching! Yes Putrajaya was so amazing, very green with stunning architecture.🤩

[@shaifulmukhelas947]

In the 90s, we used to have FloraFest. It was an annual event akin to the Pasadena Floral Parade in the US. There were floats made up entirely of fresh flowers like roses, hibiscus, orchids and hydrangeas. The flowers came from the Cameron Highlands in the state of Pahang. It was one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Tourism Malaysia calendar. Not just float parades, but even hotels and malls were decorated with fresh flowers. I guess now they have replaced it with Floria in Putrajaya.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Wow, that sounded like a spectacle and would have been amazing to witness. Even though Floria was on a smaller scale than what you described, it was still very impressive.

[@DevelopersWorld780]

Malaysia is so beautiful, MashAllah. Malaysian people are very disciplined, well mannered and kind 😊❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

Yes, we agree with everything you say, thanks for watching.🙏🙏

[@jeanith1709]

Wow! I should include this in my bucket list for Malaysia. Thank you for this video.

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're welcome! Yes, it is definitely a place to visit that isn't typically on a tourist itinerary.

[@MrEKS-st6mc]

Thank you for covering an area mostly overlooked but a welcome change from the more popular spots in Malaysia! 👍

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're welcome! It is a shame that more people don't visit Putrajaya, it is such a spectacular city!🤩🤩

[@kylek2623]

Welcome to Malaysia.. Glad that you have a great time in Malaysia.. try visiting the islands in Terengganu , Pulau Kapas, Perhentian, Redang.

Thanks Kylek2623! Great suggestions and yes we were fortunate to visit a lot of these destinations.😀

[@shaydan1943]

Always great video from you guys. Hope you can stay longer and Cyber Jaya is really nice place for both of you. The Floral event is also in conjunction with the coming Merdeka Day Celebration on 31st August. There will be more events next month. Just check it from the Putrajaya Authority and the KL City Council. Did you guys missed the Putrajaya Wetlands Park.?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you Shaydan1943! We ended up staying in Cyberjaya for 2 weeks and had a great time there and in Putrajaya. Yes we did miss the Wetlands park, there was just so much to see and we were walking around everywhere. It is pretty spread out as well!

[@nkve]

Welcome to Malaysia… I m glad you visited Putrajaya. It’s a nice place for weekend outing for family ❤ I m your new sub here. Keep posting your video. Have a pleasant stay here…❤❤

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this wonderful video and for showing your explorations in Putrajaya. It's a beautiful well planned city in Malaysia. What a lovely vlog, brilliant.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

You guys did an amazing job with this video. As you guys already probably know, there are many more interesting places and attractions in Putrajaya. Few of them are the botanical garden, Taman Wawasan (fruit orchard garden), Moroccan Pavilion, Malaysia-Chinese Friendship Park etc.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks Yasin! We agree, it is such a beautiful city and it was really fun to relive through editing this video.🤩

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks so much!! Yeah, there was so much to see and do. Our video was actually made of 3 days worth of our time in Putrajaya.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@BucketListTravellers It's really lovely to watch your explorations and adventure around Malaysia. Enjoy your evening. 😀

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@BucketListTravellers Yes, I'm quite aware of what it takes to do filming and spend considerable time in editing, good that those time relive your explorations. 😀

[@azmeelothman2976]

Thanks a lot for promoting Putra Jaya, since many vloggers are giving more attention to Kuala Lumpur, what a great video... Great job bro..👌✌️. not forgetting, a glance, you look like a young Harrison Ford 🤭😎

[@BucketListTravellers]

😊😊😊 Flattery will get you everywhere! I'll take that gladly! We are surprised that Putrajaya isn't more well known, it is such a beautiful city. We are happy to promote this, especially as we've been told that our own capital of Canberra in Austalia inspired the design of the city! Thanks for watching!

[@MeLodiCarAma]

Jay is all smiles and happy, Jon is sweet. And the place looks beautiful. What could be more merrier 🤔😜

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awww, what a lovely comment, thank you! 😁

[@auntree774]

This is a very spectacular vid. especially the floria fest 😍

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you! Yes, Putrajaya was such a beautiful city and it was fantastic reliving these memories when putting the video together. Floria was particularly impressive and very popular for good reason!

[@azmanahmad4686]

Putrajaya tempat paling aman 🏞️

[@BucketListTravellers]

Ya, kami berasa sangat selamat dan ia adalah satu rentak.🤩

[@karimbinbusri5044]

[@nadzrimyusof2582]

I think bro Andrew Tate should consider too reside in Putrajaya. Nice city , quite, big mosque similar to Abu Dhabi vibe.

[@BucketListTravellers]

I think Putrajaya deserves better than Andrew Tate....Yes it is a really nice city. Thanks for watching.

[@RiduanMOHDsani]

Wow welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾🎉🎉🎉

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you and thanks for watching!😀

[@daengzool6023]

Putrajaya use to have a hotair balloon festival and light festival.

[@BucketListTravellers]

That would be so fun to do over Putrajaya, it is a really good idea. The light festival would have also been great to see.

[@shamshulanuar7718]

Putrajaya was once rhe territory of state of Selangor. In 1999, the transfer of Putrajaya to Federal Govt was inked between Selnagorbaand Fedwral Govt. What is unique is that the signatories have blood ties. The Federal Govt was represented by the king of Malaysia. Meanwhile Selangor was reprenseted by then Regent of Selangor who happons to be the son of the King

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Shamshulanuar7718, thank you for sharing the history of Putrajaya with us, very interesting.😀

[@channelbubur173]

KUALA LUMPUR = Capital City of Malaysia PUTRAJAYA = Federal Government Administation Centre CYBERJAYA = Multimedia Super Corridor Town *Although Putrajaya became our Administration Centre, our PARLIMENT BUILDING was still in Kuala Lumpur.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for sharing these distinctions and for watching.😀

[@rembautimes8808]

I had a chance of going inside the Prime Minister's Office once. Its quite exciting as its the equivalent of the White House where big meetings are held. Putrajaya is definitely the most unique place in Malaysia, designed from the ground up as opposed to having a capital grow out organically.

[@BucketListTravellers]

That experience would have been really cool! I'm sure it is just as majestic on the inside as it is on the outside!

[@KotoBalo]

Malaysia memang mantap,

[@BucketListTravellers]

Malaysia indah dan salah satu negara kegemaran kami!

[@gingerteddy618]

I visited Putrajaya Floria too. It was a wonderful experience.

[@blackpinkishinyourarea8973]

Event ni spai hari apa bro

[@BucketListTravellers]

It is such a beautiful city, yet had we not done our research we would have passed right through it. Very glad we decided to visit.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Apakah maksud Anda Floria? Biasanya sekitar akhir Agustus, awal September.

[@billwx3864]

Great content, but the music is so much louder than the words i had to keep adjusting the volume.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Ahhh, sorry about that! We rushed to get this video out as we only finished it this morning and Jay thought the same when we reviewed it.

[@zyh3619]

Part of a good presentation is to have a pleasing music accompanying the actual video. Unfortunately in this case the music is just not appropriate and quite annoying

[@zanzillahsaruji9966]

Putra Jaya is not the Capital city but Malaysia administration city for the Government Department

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for clarifying.

[@tombakmelayu3379]

Dia ada cakap la dlm video dia😅

[@hafidzihasran7673]

You already show the entire place to visit but missing several places like Precint Diplomatic which has a shop lot like a mini town in Putrajaya and IOI Mall Putrajaya.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, there is so much to see in Putrajaya!

Welcome to Malaysia.. August is National Month of Malaysia..!!!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you! We have sadly returned home, but were lucky enough to experience Merdeka last year. We will make a video about that soon too! Better late than never!

[@kaiying2210]

According to history, Malaysia day(The day Malaysia was formed) is 16 of September. In this case, I guess September is also a National Month. Cause that 31 August is just independence of Malaya to be exact.

[@hazmanriess8949]

Problem was from time 10 am to 5 pm...climate was too hot and humid

[@BucketListTravellers]

Yes, it was pretty hot during the middle of the day!🥵

[@UsmanShahzad]

Snakes - Massive Pet Peeve, any tips to prevent encounter or how to deal with them, locals?

Good question! I'd like to know too!

You're right - I haven't heard of it, but it looks so beautiful!!! Yikes - a big cobra, in the wild?????

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hey Stephen and Andie! It was very pretty and we are so glad that we decided to check it out before we left Malaysia. To be honest, we hadn't heard much about it either before we were in Malaysia. And yes, a real cobra, in a suburban setting!!!😱

[@aa.r2588]

When was this recorded?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, we recorded this last September, so it has been quite some time now! We are very behind with our videos!

[@zulkufliaziz104]

Kuala Lumpur stand still as Malaysia' s capital, not Putrajaya. Putrajaya play the role as the Federal Government Administrative Centre.

[@WxM3008WxM]

Is it better than Ipoh? We want to move with family. Have narrowed it down to Ipoh and Putrajaya.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Oohh, tough question! We would say that there are more things to do in Ipoh, i.e. more foodie locations, outdoor activities/attractions etc... That said, we thought Putrajaya is a really pretty city and it is a more central location than Ipoh, i.e. 30min from both KL and the International Airport. We are guessing it might be more cost effective than living in KL and has more of a 'green' vibe, with plenty of parks and walking spaces.

[@WxM3008WxM]

@@BucketListTravellers Thanks for responding. Desperate to move. Unfortunately, the visa situation remains difficult even though MM2H has been relaxed and only one parent can come on a guardian visa. May need to cough up for MM2H! Which other SE Asian countries would you recommend with comparable safety, living costs, schools, healthcare to Malaysia? I think Malaysia comes top in the region 😔

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, to be honest we aren't well placed to give you a good answer as we haven't lived in SE Asia for an extended period of time. We do think Malaysia would be a good option if we were to move! Good luck with your decision.@@WxM3008WxM

[@gaelkamil]

I believe Putrajaya is somewhat modeled after Canberra

[@BucketListTravellers]

Ah ha! We had suspected as much, thanks for confirming! In any case it is a beautifully designed city.

[@rosearmyblink293]

Can we go on Friday?!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Sure!

[@annav.4988]

What month did you visit Putrajaya? How's walking considering the weather? I'm wondering if March would be a hot month in Malaysia like in the Philippines.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We visited in September and it was the usual steamy and hot, around 34C. It was a bit rainy at this time of year as well. March is generally the best time of year to visit the west coast (KL, Penang, Langkawi, Malacca etc..). Thanks for watching!

Putrajaya is not Malaysia's capital. The capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur. Putrajaya is 'Federal Government Administrative Centre' of Malaysia.
