He married a local malay woman. Nordin is a Muslim australian living in msia. That's why he sounds malay speaking in English.

"If you take the first step, Malaysians will take 2 steps." -- wonderful summary statement. Most Malaysians will be supportive and appreciative of foreigners' efforts to understand us and treat us with respect. ☺ The multi-races in MY are like siblings - we may squabble with each other but if there's any external threats - we will unite and have each other's back! 💪💕

I find it hard to believe that anyone could disrespect Malaysia. I have met many Malaysian students in the UK. I read books on Malaysia and have seen some videos on the country. Compared to Africa it's "far ahead" and they got independence only a few years before much of Africa, but they've made enormous progress in comparison, that only attracts respect in my book.

Malaysians are renowned for their friendly and hospitable nature, and they relish the opportunity to mingle with people from different cultures. Interacting with foreigners enables them to broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of other societies. Despite their strong sense of national identity, Malaysians also take pride in their cosmopolitan outlook, which makes them excellent ambassadors for their country. Malaysia is a melting pot of diverse ethnic groups, each with their own distinct customs and traditions. Sharing food is an integral part of Malaysian culture, and it is common for locals to offer guests a taste of their traditional dishes. This not only showcases the richness and diversity of Malaysian cuisine but also serves as a means of forging deeper connections between people from different backgrounds.

[@VladsBoredom]

Thank you Max and Nordin for this insightful video. I have been in February this year the second time to Malaysia and it was such an amazing trip overall. Even without listening to Nordin, I went to Sarawak and Langkawi already, but only drove through Sekinchan once when driving to Pulau Pangkor. Even when talking with my family and friends about how good the overall living costs and high living standards are, all of them are still skeptical about how Malaysia can have all of this. In fact I really want to move to Malaysia, but it's just hard to get a job there as a qualified foreigner. I got quite a lot of friends living there and I feel like I blended into the culture quite well with enjoying my milo ice and mee goreng at the mamak. Malaysians can be proud of having such a great country with a few flaws, but no one is perfect, so I hope one day I can also become a part of the Keluarga Malaysia 🙏🏻.

I'm with Nordin on durian, not a big fan for d king of fruit. What I can suggest to Nordin, Daria or yourself, is to try a traditonal Malay dessert, pulut durian. There r 2 ways to eat durian with sticky rice. First way, eat d sticky rice with fresh durian splash with coconut milk. Second way, eat d sticky rice with pengat durian. Pengat durian is fresh durian cooked with coconut milk n palm sugar. I really like d second dessert, n I think, foreigners who want to try durian, should try this dessert first.

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

We had the same name, "Noordin," by coincidence. In many of his assertions regarding Malaysia, I wholeheartedly concur with him. Most Malaysians, particularly those from Penang, where I am from, are of mixed ancestry. Except for monarchy, Singapore and Malaysia had a lot in common. Due to the fact that both Penang and Singapore were British Colonies governed by the Straits Settlements, they have many similarities. Back then, Singapore was far more developed than Malaysia, but today, both countries' development is very comparable. Politically Singapore was part of Malaysia from 1963 to 1965. Hence, as compared to other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore and Malaysia were remarkably similar, particularly in terms of their legal system, histories, populations, and cultures. Thus, what Nordin said regarding Malaysia is precisely true.

[@MaxChernov]

Thanks for a very detailed explanation!

[@mohddanial8165]

Actually Singapore is of Sultan Johor state land. The turn of event and decision making of it's leader at that time brought about the land being possessed and become a country. A lot of issues still need to be adressed between Singapura and Johor royal state regarding it's border, land and belongings.

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

@@mohddanial8165 - Actually, Singapore was originally ruled by the Johor-Riau Sultanate, whose capital was in Lingga. Raja Husin, Sultan Mansur's eldest son, was meant to succeed him after his death. Raja Husin, however, was in Pahang when Sultan Mansur passed away. Later the Dutch chose Raja Abd Rahman, his younger brother, who was distinct from his mother, to succeed him as Sultan. Raffle did, however, name Raja Husin the new Sultan of Singapore. Raffle sought Raja Husin's consent before establishing a British base in Singapore, which was actually more deserving of being the Sultan. During that time, Daeng Ibrahim, then Temenggung, was appointed as a representative of the Sultan of Johor- Riau in Singapore. However, as a result of his collusion with the British, his descendants have now succeeded him as the Sultan of Johor, despite Raja Husin being the more eligible candidate. Raja Husin's reign as Sultan of Singapore ended when his son Raja Ali took over. As a result, it is not so true to assert that Singapore is belong to the current Sultan of Johor.

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

@@mohddanial8165 - If you check at Wikipedia you will know some story about him as excerpt below :- Sultan Ali Iskandar Shah Tengku Ali, anakanda Sultan Hussain Shah, diisytiharkan sebagai Sultan Johor ke-19, pada 16 September 1840, dengan gelaran Sultan Ali Iskandar Shah ibni Hussain Muazzam Shah untuk menggantikan ayahandanya, apabila Baginda mangkat pada 1835. Walau bagaimanapun, perlantikan baginda tidak diiktiraf oleh Inggeris (British). Selama 20 tahun berikutnya, tuntutan Sultan Ali ke atas jawatan Sultan Johor hanya diiktiraf oleh pedagang dan beberapa orang Melayu. Seperti ayahdanya, Sultan Ali lebih merupakan pemerintah boneka dan memainkan peranan kecil di dalam pentadbiran negeri, yang terletak di bawah bidang kuasa Temenggung dan British. Baginda adalah seorang Sultan yang lemah dan dibayangi oleh Temenggungnya, Temenggung Daeng Ibrahim. Satu perisytiharaan oleh British pada bulan September 1840 memberikan baginda sebagai pewaris yang sah Sultan Hussain Shah, tetapi bukan pengiktirafan sebagai "Sultan Johor". Pada 10 Mac 1855, Sultan Ali memeterai sebuah perjanjian dengan pihak British di Singapura. Dalam perjanjian ini, Sultan Ali bersetuju melepaskan haknya terhadap Johor (kecuali Kesang) kepada Temenggung Daeng Ibrahim, dengan balasan pengiktirafan rasmi sebagai "Sultan Johor" oleh British dan elaun bulanan. Selepas penyerahan Johor, Sultan Ali telah diberikan kuasa pentadbiran ke atas Muar sehinga kemangkatannya pada 1877, dan untuk tujuan pentadbiran, Baginda dikenali sebagai "Sultan Muar"

Hello Juliana, how are you doing today.

[@user-vh9lj3jr7l]

Enjoyed this guest very much! 😊

[@calliechua]

It would be great if you invest in a sturdy but easily portable tripod when you film. Easier on your arms and the viewer's eyes too 🙃and thank you for investing time into doing interviews. As a Malaysian myself, I learned some parts of my own country through your lens as well, so thank you 😊

[@MaxChernov]

For now I’m trying to be more flexible with the gear

[@globallyempowered]

I agree, in Malaysia there is no exception as to who you can find at a food stall.

[@ytl9110]

Mr Nordin has this subtle Malaysian accent hahah if I cover my eyes listening to him, I would imagine a Malaysian speaking

[@TobiasFischer]

Max, you‘re an amazing interviewer! You ask the right questions and you let people talk - what a blessing! Keep it up, see you in Singapore, maybe :)

[@MaxChernov]

🙏

I've been in Penang now for 2 months and i can confirm all that he said is true 😊

My brother Nordin speaks Manglish too. Alhamdulillah

😊😊😊 interesting guy...sounds very local

[@MaxChernov]

Very!

[@edpotter1170]

One of the things I love about Malaysians is that if a foreigner tries to speak in Malay and completely butcher it, Malaysians' attitude would be "as long as I understand you, your language is perfect in my book". I think that's a big reason why many foreigners feel motivated to learn Malaysian language. Easy to learn and the people have zero judgement in language mistakes.

"Hey, let me help you la, bro!" Made me laughed a bit more than I should.

[@2217909]

I’m so much investing into information about Malaysia as I’m planning to move to Malaysia next year or so also looking forward starting business there insha Allah everything goes well for me and everyone else that are looking forward moving to Malaysia. I’m feeling sick of western countries now to the point beyond imagination 😢

[@MaxChernov]

Best of luck!

[@ashaazuanissabtu884]

Nice and enjoyable video 👍🏻😊

[@MaxChernov]

[@mumk]

[@MaxChernov]

my pleasure!

I've lived in KL for 17 years and ran a successful chiropractic clinic in Brickfields. I love KL and miss it so much. Malaysia is one of the best places to live.

[@acacia0104]

I lived in Malaysia for 4 years. He sounds exactly like a Malay 😂 People say that Malaysians are easy to befriend but hoensty I had the opposite experience, they seemed more cautious of and withdrawn from foreigners, except other Asians . I didn't make a single ethnic Malaysian friend. Most of my friends were Chinese and Japanese.

[@acacia0104]

I miss the fried banana snacks you could get on any road or street.

[@acacia0104]

Lol, I loved Durian.

[@spoiledballotpapers3277]

Love the comments about Durian. True, Durian is more like a religion. Maybe try Durian from Serian area, Sarawak. We have a Durian farm with so many different types of Durian, different flavours, textures, etc.. Great video !

[@anasazmi8554]

From what I see, you either love durian to hell or you avoid it like plague. This applies even within a Malaysian family (as some of my siblings would be able to attest to). Credits to him for trying.

[@MaxChernov]

haha true

[@Min-e5]

One of my sons always feels left out when we were enjoying durian and will always tried to eat and always ended up puking after a bite. Poor guy.

[@princesssolace4337]

I don't even allow durian to be transported in my car. Anyone in my vehicle wanted to eat it, just have it there, NO TAKE AWAY

[@Rnfds]

I was cleaning and had my KZbin on autoplay and this popped out and thought it was a Chinese uncle speaking 😂 I got my phone and I was pleasantly surprised!

[@Hirotara]

I feel that the only striking problem about Malaysia is the politics and its dealings in corruption. Other than that, we're all just doing our own thing and trying to live life and of course to be respectful to each other, because who the hell doesn't want that?

[@mohdazrinaziz5651]

You can't escape from politicians corruption.. They are from the same bowl. What we can hope is the government take good care of us.. We can't do anything about their corruption, but if the person really taking good care of his people.. I think he way better than the current..

[@rashadahahmad9179]

Rahmat bahagia Tuhan kurniakan…. Lyric in the National Anthem ‘NegaraKu’ is a prayer/ doa for God to bless this country with happiness… Alhamdulillaah Malaysians are a happy .. greeting n eating… smiling laughing n having a great time almost always….

[@ssideris]

He sounds more Malaysian than some Malaysians!

[@Notsosmartyetnotsostupid]

Very good content again. Keep up the good work 👍!

[@MaxChernov]

Thanks, will do!
