As with everything it's a minority of people. 1. Hot accused of being Persian and got jumped by 3 guys with weapons, luckily for me they weren't good fighters, luckily for them i was tired and emotional. The PDRM returned their weapons back to them! At same time we (police and I) witnessed a bag snatching and they did nothing as the victim was ethnic chinese and the perpetrator looked sub-saharan african. 2. Dual pricing system, official and unofficial. Taxi drivers getting violent when u refuse to not pay off meter!! (Not an issue now thx Grab) And any museum, park etc etc etc 3. Taxation WITHOUT representation. 4. Government workers obsession in knowing the ethnicity of my partner, and treat me differently depending on how I answer. 5. Getting offered different food and constantly being asked if i like spicy food/can use chopsticks/eat with hands etc. Guys your food ain't spicy at ALL... 6. Can't access some simple things as don't have a NRIC... Example, was unable to get a JPJ appointment to renew license through their useless app as no IC. List goes on. Mostly it's an inconvenience but has turned needlessly and stupidly violent multiple times. Malaysians seem to have a need to put people in a box so that they can then make assumptions and avoid certain topics. Leads to some really dafuq conversations at times.

Malaysian do treat forigner differently in a good way like how we treat guest. Smiling is just basic to show you are welcome. In extreme, you will find they treat you some food without having anything in return.

[@Itsalaugh229]

It's simple, the reason British people are called racist toward immigrants to the UK, is because nobody choosing to live among us respects our culture and customs. Nothing to do with skin colour, religion or anything else, just a casual disregard for British ways. That's why we have been made to feel ashamed of our own heritage.

[@junaatics]

During my time in Malaysia, I have found the local Malay people to be incredibly welcoming and warm. However, my experiences with individuals of mixed Malaysian heritage have been different. I had a negative encounter with someone like that who displayed arrogance and a sense of entitlement. It was disheartening.

[@Paladin_-cg5dj]

As an expat in Malaysia for 12 yrs. I find Malaysians in general to be friendly and polite. However, if Im being honest, local Chinese/Indians are friendlier than the Malay Malay. One example is when it comes to English, "some" will frown and make face when you are unable to communicate in Bahasa. This is common in fastfoods, malls. Which I find it weird coz these restaurants or shops should anticipate to have foreigner customers. But again, overall, Malaysians are good and honest people.

We Malaysians don't like to or have time for staring at foreigners as we always mind our own business. Manners are important to us, and we always treat tourists like locals. If they receive stares, it is definitely not from Malaysians but from foreign workers (Bangladesh or Indonesian) who work in big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Most Malaysians don't stay in Kuala Lumpur; rather, they stay in suburbs as there are more lively places outside Kuala Lumpur and just go a big city to work. So dont worry to all foreigners tourist you are always welcome in Malaysia.
