GET OUT OF THE UK NOW! EXPAT LIFE IN KUALA LUMPUR INTERVIEW | LIVING IN MALAYSIA | GET BUSY LIVING

[@JackAlderton]

It was really great to meet you Daryl, and to have the opportunity to sit down and film a meaningful collaboration like this. Hope it helped give deeper insights for the viewers into what it's like to leave your home country and live a life worth living, whether that's in Malaysia, SE Asia or anywhere else in the world. Guys, off camera we spoke for HOURS. We have a lot in common and see many of the same themes playing out even though we're from opposite sides of the world. It really makes a difference when you meet other like-minded people, so keep going and don't be afraid to reach out, have a chat and take action. Hope to see you over on my channel where I share more about life & travelling in Malaysia. Please get in touch if you ever visit, would love to have more chats like this. All the best Daryl & everyone watching, we have one life so let's explore and make it worth it!

I grew up in Malaysia from 1989 to 2002 - I went to school at Uplands in Penang and also to KTJ in Negri Sembilan. I lived in Terengganu. malaysia is one of the most amazing countries in the world. My soul home. 5 of my children are half Malay - their father is a malay man from Selangor. Such a wonderful tolerant melting pot of kindness, culture and differences. I would love to go back. Malaysia is one of the safest and best countries to live in. I still speak fluent Malay but have now lived back in the UK for a long time. Thanks for this video and enjoy the wonderful uniqueness of this beautiful place

As a malay man here in malaysia i grow up learning Bahasa Melayu as my first language, then English as a second language, going to islamic school i learn arabic language since kindergarten by my parent and thru schools. Grow up with chinese and indian friends i got skill of learning mandarin and tamils. That's normal to become polygot here 😂

Multi-layered flyovers and MRT LRT crossing between each other high up in the sky during the tangerine sunsets piercing through the megalodon skyscrapers and tens of floors height of elevated highways gliding along lush rainforest chain of Titiwangsa mountains - exactly like in the '5th Element' AND YET we Malaysians still smile and say hi to fellow Malaysians in the streets, just like how we roll in the kampung-kampung.

Malaysia was a British colony before becoming a member of the Commonwealth. English is taught as a second language alongside an official language of Bahasa Melayu as well as Mandarin and Tamil in vernacular schools. In contrast to Thailand, which has never been colonised, Vietnam, which was colonised by France, and Indonesia, which was colonised by the Dutch. As a result, speaking their native tongues is more common than in Malaysia. The first thing you notice about Malaysia is that, unlike China, Japan, Korea and some of our neighbours, Malaysia is not a homogenous country. The diversity of the population makes it difficult for first-timer to this country to differentiate locals like Malays, Chinese, and Indians and foreigners, particularly those from nearby Asian countries like from Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, India, Bangladesh, Korea, Japan, and the Middle East because of how similar their appearances are. Food is an integral part of Malaysian hospitality. We prefer to greet our guests with food, and we are pleased when our guests enjoys the selection. Our food choices nearly never disappoint, whether we invite you to our home to sample our own home-cooked cuisine or take you to our favourite eateries. In Malaysia, it is customary for guests to remove their shoes as a sign of respect so that they won't contaminate their dwellings with your shoes when they graciously invite you to visit their home. Not surprisingly, despite the fact that most Malaysians are accustomed to hot, humid conditions, we nevertheless prefer cold temperatures. For this reason, even with air conditioning, the majority of Malaysian homes need to have a fan running. The majority of us also like air-conditioned environments when we are in the many enormous malls located across the cities. Regarding safety, it's best to be cautious than to be sorry, but as of right now, I don't mind going out late at night to find food because nobody will give you a second look, especially if you're in an urban area. I suppose that the longer you remain in Malaysia, the more familiar you become with the country and the more at home you feel.

You are right, cost of living has gone up too. Though my family are here. Ive got to remember that. i have family members who are spread all over the world and they dont see each other for months, years, decades.. I dont think i could move away.

[@DonDon45-i5h]

There's a difference between multicultural and multiracial. UK has whites, blacks and Asians but all of them still follow British culture, so the UK is multiracial and not multicultural. Malaysia on the other hand has Malays, Chinese, Tamils and many indigenous peoples, all of whom have their own unique culture, so Malaysia is multicultural. It should be noted that multiculturalism wasn't always so harmonious in Malaysia. There have been many instances in the past of race riots and unrest between races, but today this isn't much of an issue. Of course there's still some instances of racial issues today, but 99% of the time everybody gets along. Multiculturalism just needs some time to work out, as it did here in Malaysia

The UK is the most taxed country in the world and they keep inventing new ways to tax us. Tax on income, on savings, on purchases... tax on top of tax on top of "duty" on top of "fees"... In the 5th highest GDP in the world and where does all that money go? Because road tax for e.g. certainly doesn't go back into the roads, because the roads are a mess. The most congested in the world, in the worst condition. We give our money away in foreign aid, on the green agenda, to illegal migrants, into the NHS blackhole...

[@JackAlderton]

It's true I'm definitely an exception, but to be honest, even on half the salary I think my lifestyle would be on par in Malaysia. I have a video on healthcare in Malaysia but to put it simply, it blows the NHS and Medicare (in Aus) out of the water, as long as you can afford decent insurance (which is much more reasonably priced). All good & valid points though, it's not for everyone and it is a serious decision that needs to be respected as such. A holiday is always a great idea to start the adventures though haha

[@vindolanda6974]

Agree. SE Asian societies are very status conscious in terms of how much $ you are making and your position.

[@EGO0808]

I feel the term 'affordable luxury' is often misused. It is like an oxymoron: Luxury in itself excludes affordability, otherwise it would not be luxury. Have a look at imported luxury items in Malaysia, be it cars, wines or jewelry, it is not affordable, as it carries a huge import tax and it is exclusive. As for housing, properties here in KL may be more affordable compared to other major cities in (SE) Asia, but renting a luxury apartment (Four Seasons Residences, Le Nouvel, Ritz Carlton residences, One KL and alike), it is still expensive (3000 US$ - 7000 US$ per month). Go fine dining, considered a luxury, you easily spend around 150 US$ per person, certainly when you drink alcohol with it. Real luxury here is more costly than it is in Europe, USA or Australia.

Sorry but KL is dull as hell. Like any SE Asian city its fine when you travel there at first, bright lights and everything open late etc. After a while you feel boxed in and lacking physical freedom because the heat and the traffic and the density means you can't just go for a walk or a nice run or bike ride. You find yourself just going to malls all the time. KL has a fairly rickety MRT (underground). I mean it maybe ok for a while if you are young and single and your work is not too busy and you have time and money to explore and stay mobile and not get stuck in the city rut. I lived in Singapore for many years and travelled to KL frequently and did a 9-month stint working there. I've lived in Manila, Jakarta, HCM city.

KL, Malaysia may not be as developed as other city in australia and U.K, but its really comfortable living here Its affordable excellent healthcare local food to international cuisine its safe as we have a low crime rate. There are so many places to see and explore. One of my favorite place is Cameron Highlands as i love jungle trekking. A great video and i love it

@@AlanKangBanMeng-sv5en KL not as developed as uk or Australia?? 🤣🤣🤣 bro are you living under a rock?? KL is literally top 10 best cities in the world to live in, uk and aus aren’t even on that list. Also Malaysia has higher standard of living and much lower poverty rate than both of those countries lol. We are much better than them, not the other way around

Actually if you go to small towns and Malay-majority towns in the East coast of the peninsula, most of them don't know how to speak English! Many from those places are not well-educated either. So you shouldn't wander off the few big cities and towns in the west coast in the peninsula like KL, Malacca, Ipoh and Penang.
