Ben, regarding african in Malaysia. - the prejudice about them is NOT due to their skin colour. Some of Malaysians (Malay and Indian) can have darker skin colour than them and we don't have any problem with that. It is due to our bad experience when they first come into the country back in the 90s. They created their own communities in local housing areas, got drunk in public, loud parties until late at night (inside and outside their houses) disturbing the neighbours, disrespectful and disturbing the local women. Police report were made multiple times. There were one occasions were the local community has to group together and confront them. Things might improve nowadays (regarding the African communities in Malaysia) but the locals are still very cautious. (Those incidences involved african from one specific country - not all Africans). - Dark skin colour is never a problem in Malaysia. Back in the 70s, 80s we have a local description of "hitam manis" which is a compliment to darker skin individuals. Not sure whether it is still used now. Back in the 80s we even have an ads tag which say "Hitam Itu Menawan" (Black is Attractive). - Anyone who claimed to be treated differently because of their skin colour must look at their own self (ie : attitude, body language, voice volume (we dislike loud people), the way you dress etc). Just my personal feedback.

"Anyone who claimed to be treated differently because of their skin colour must look at their own self (ie : attitude, body language, voice volume (we dislike loud people), the way you dress etc)." That exactly come into my mind because we don't really treat people differently because of colour. We Malaysian have quite wide range of colour ourselves. Unpleasant things will trigger unpleasant response. That is also a reason why Malaysian always nice to a stranger because we don't have reason to treat people badly until we do.

My sentiment exactly. The different treatment to people from Africa is not because of skin color but definitely because of the African's behaviours when they first came to Malaysia. Also, the earliest scammers in the world since 1990s were from Nigeria and other African states. Malaysians are definitely more friendly and helpful. If there is contra to this,, it is because of the behaviors of the other people.

This my personal experience as a Malaysian, i got a neighbor who is renting as a student, and i think they are probably Nigerian in the early 2000. They are loud, drunk, parties and smashing things around the neighborhood. To the point we always have to call cops alot. However, i also got a good friend from Kenya. Honestly, for us to be good friend it takes us sometime, bcoz of my skeptical and prejudice due to the bad experience. To us, if you come to our country and respect the culture, the neighbor, we will do the same. It's got nothing with skin color. I also got bad experience from middle eastern man, so, it does left with a bad taste. Not, about the skin color

This is a good topic. And yes it is absolutely true. If we rank countries in the world on the basis of "friendly", then definitely Malaysia will be in the TOP 1-3 positions. Malaysian people (all of their races) are very sensible, friendly, and welcoming. It is very shocking to see this type of "good humans" in the world nowadays. Other countries have all become aggressive, selfish & even harsh. Malaysia for some reason has saved itself from the "bad & aggressive" western values but still retains its freedom, softness & human values. For me i would rank Malaysian people as #1 in the world on friendliness! Good job Malaysia. Keep it up!

About black people. I think if there is a kind of prejudice towards them, it is not because of their skin color but because of the stigma that has been created by some Africans who came here to operate the so-called Nigerian scams etc. And these people do not naturally carry a friendly vibe. They have bad reputations among grab drivers and landlords. For us, all black people look the same. So, that is too bad.

Thanks for highlighting the sh17 brains of some of our people here lol...anyways, people should learn to be prejudiced of everyone, not just people of African descent. Locals here are worse than international scammers anyway. So yes, if we can get rid of this crap of thoughts as in your comments, then I think we're Malaysian enough to return to our hospitality. Otherwise, might as well telanjang Bogel to show solidarity towards our human rights. No offense, not against you, but the words you typed on comment clearly says much about dirty minded people in our country. We're educated enough and adult enough to think this overt discrimination has to stop.

There is some truth in what the Italian guy said…but the circumstances might be different..not so much as to the skin colour but more towards the attitude and behaviour of the person matters to the Malaysians…basicly Malaysians are respectfull of guests coming into the country and ask for the same…A bit of history for you Ben…we used to have influx of African students coming into the country for further studies in the late 90s..under student visas..but then there were cases of fraud and vices by these so called ‘students’…lots of complaints from residents too due to their unbecoming behaviour which painted a negative perceptions by the locals …i know it was silly to paint all black people with the same brush…but then Malaysians are in general i would say very timid and reserved as a nation..we dont create problems while visiting other countries…you can ask the Saudi Arabian for example which have high regards for Malaysian being so discipline and follow the country rules.. Nevertheless to my black friends , dont worry nowaday , we just forget and forgive and we just welcome everyone.

I always tell my friends that we have to behave ourselves as tourists or foreigners in another country. Coz what we do directly affects the impressions the locals have on our nationality. If we're a good bunch and respectful, we're doing our nationality proud. If we behave badly, it'll definitely leave a bad after taste and bad reputation to the rest of the world. In this case, it's just sad that the black skinned people(especially African countries) are being treated differently due to their bad reputation as scammers and drug related crimes in Malaysia. So stay classy, folks!😂😊

He wont get a pass for a promotion and the salary is night and day diff than white people eventho they come from a same country and backgrounds. And plus, he accused me of being racist as well. Bcz i dont let him kiss me and hug me in public. And i told him quite oftenly im malaysian we dont do pda. But idk, i think because he encountered alot of racism in his life he couldnt see where im come from

Great content, keep posting! Since you mentioned Borneo, particularly Sabah, let me suggest some places you might want to consider. If you're into nature, rainforests, and wildlife rehabilitation, I recommend visiting Tawau and Sandakan. These areas are more focused on nature tourism than modern tourism, so there's not much to do in the cities themselves. It’s primarily about experiencing the natural surroundings and wildlife, but be prepared for mosquitoes. These places are not ideal for business interviews, as most visitors come for nature, and the tourists are mostly Europeans and Australians. If you're into crystal-clear water, white sandy islands, scuba diving, and water bungalows, you should consider Semporna. However, be careful when choosing an agency. The town can get quite busy and is a bit smelly due to its focus on sea activities. While you can do street interviews, it may be a challenge because most visitors are from China, and they might not want to be on camera. Additionally, many don’t speak fluent English. For a beautiful sunset and large malls, Kota Kinabalu is the place to be. The city attracts a lot of foreigners, especially from Korea, and they are generally friendly. However, some may not speak English fluently and tend to have a distinct accent. Kota Kinabalu is also close to the majestic Mount Kinabalu-a must-see if you have the time. If you want to experience the northernmost tip of Borneo, you can also visit the Tip of Borneo for a breathtaking view. One thing to note: don’t be offended by the local Sabahan accent. The tone can sound quite aggressive, but trust me, it's just the way they speak-locals are very friendly! For context, the East Coast of Sabah is home to maritime communities, while the West Coast is home to inland communities (or hinterland communities). So, don’t be surprised if you see different cultures and customs in different regions. Kota Kinabalu, however, is a melting pot, like a mini Kuala Lumpur, where people from all over come to work and holiday. Sabah is a very diverse state with 16 indigenous groups known as Bumiputera Anak Negeri Sabah, but in total, there are 32 different ethnic groups. It’s a state rich in cultural diversity, with a mix of religions, languages, and skin tones.

It doesn’t come from nowhere. Malaysian hospitality though is another level and you always know they are genuine and not putting on a front, be it good or bad. This is why MY is #1!

Actually one of the reasons why people here are little bit sceptical about blacks from Africa is because there have been a lot of cases of scam involving them.

These scam cases were always highlighted in the main stream media so it gives a not so nice perception about these blacks of African origin

There are African KZbinrs who travel or work in a foreign countries and are having fun (several in Malaysia). Then there are some who kept remind themselves that they are 'black' and put the black test and claim to experience racism. I travelled extensively in Europe and lived for a long time in the US, I hardly face any racism, maybe because I don't look for it. I know some Malaysian who claims some racism in Europe, but I also know they don't usually carry themselves well.

Reminded me when I was studying in the UK, my Malaysian room mate was about to graduate his family went to stay with us. His auntie was totally scare of a black person, she never met one, she never travelled outside of Malaysia. I asked my room mate, he told me due to watching too many movies. And in Hollywood too, white Americans, Europeans, Australians are always portrayed as the hero, except if you are from Germany and Russia.

Most Malaysians are friendly probably because they are so used to multi-etchnic multi racial community living together harmoniously...

I'm exploring the possibility of moving to Malaysia with the fam. We are looking at the mm2h programme which is a bit confusing. Are there any other options? Do you happen to know anyone that know about migrations and/or help with the process?

As a Malaysian, generally friendly, except on the road rushing to work in a massive jam. 😂 (unless there's an ambulance / police needing a path way)

I'm not elaborating much here just one point that made we Malaysian cautions towards Black people were the " Black Money Scamm" around 2005 - 2008? Can't remember the exact time. Ironically i befriended with few Nigerian businessmen in 2012 till 2017 setting up an Advertising On LED around KL. So it proved that it wasn't skin rather its how they carry themselves. They were a true and genuine businessmen back then that without prejudice i decided to do business with them.

How do you differentiate a Malaysian and a migrant? You don't know. Only way is when they speak.,their dressing, and look.

Generally, we Malaysians are not racist. We don’t really care what skin colour or where you’re from. As long as you’re respectful to our country no matter the race or religion, we’re happy to welcome anyone. The reason for discriminating the Africans’ because they generally bring trouble to wherever they go. It’s not all of them of course but unfortunately, there are too many rotten apples amongst them. Because of that, we aren’t able to distinguish who are the good or bad. Hence, we just stay away from them. Personally, I’ve got a great Nigerian friend who is very hardworking, kind and generous. As an African, she doesn’t even want to mix with her own people because she thinks the same as we do.

Another reason we probably distance ourself to African foreigner mainly due to difference of culture. Most that come here are a bit bold, a bit loud, a bit rough, and just a tiny bit difference here n there on how they approach people, how they talk.. Its not a bad thing, it just the 1st impression that we Malaysian get sometime.. my example would be, like how American or European ask question, the mannerism and body language is better in our eyes compared to those who are from African.. so we response better to them compared to African.. However, when the african become friendly with us, we repay back the same as any other foreigner.. Its just the 1st initial hurdle need to be pass for african, while its easier for american or European.. My proof would be, those of black skin color from UK and US would not have the same problem / encounter far less of a problem as compared to African due to this mannerism and body language.
