[@Anshuification]

Definitely KL for me... more easy going, open culture, natural beauty, great food and less complex for day to day leaving. Also less status driven, friendly people and under-stated so no social pressure to stand-out. KL is surely a social-leveller. However Dubai is fascinating, very magical, better processes, more planned city. But it surely lacks the natural beauty and old world charm of KL. And more expensive. I love both the cities but KL is closer to my heart ❤

[@don2006ka]

Malaysia is clean throughout the country full of beautiful mountains, beaches and rainforests. Dubai is just a city, same with Singapore. With everything online in todays world, Malaysia is more easygoing and can enjoy with family instead of thinking about your next expense and getting worked up.

I lived in Dubai for 5 years. Rent is expensive, you might not pay tax, but you get milked for anything else. It is luxurious, but only when you are in the aircon and out the dust.

As soon as you drive out of the shiny high rise city you are confronted by a total lack of greenery, everything is covered in dust and grey, drab and depressing.

Malaysia is a joyful place to live with the nicest people I've met in my travels.

Dubai for me is far too hot and somewhat unnecessarily rigid with all its rules. It is also ridiculously expensive. Between KL and Dubai, however, it's not even close - KL by a distance.

[@manrajpalsinghbajwa3264]

I lived in Kuala Lumpur and in the middle east (Qatar & Saudi Arabia). Well i guess i would admit Dubai is better place to be in only if you see yourself working for a couple of years.However, Malaysia would be better in a long term stay as it is a center of South East Asia where traveling and going for short gateaway for family time is possible.I mean come you certainly have more holidays in Malaysia compare to Dubai.I remember one time we had pretty much public holidays every week for the month.

[@aridyaacob3172]

I know religion is a taboo subject to many but these two places are predominantly Muslim, which goes to show that the west, especially Americans, have really nothing to fear from Muslims and the religion. It’s been said that Muslims in Malaysia, or a great number of them, show the true face of Islam ie tolerance, kindness, patience, being charitable and kind, a sort of live and let live mentality, certain corrupt people in power and authority aside. It’s not about rabid extremism; it’s always about the middle path and showing the way by example and deed, ie your character. By the way, good job!

[@pipspiper]

Well said, unfortunately, most people from the west associate ISIS or terrorists with Islam.

[@aridyaacob3172]

@@pipspiper usually it’s the US that would enter a country, usually an Islamic one, like Afghanistan or Iraq et el, to overthrow its ‘dictator’ or ‘barbaric’ government. Would any other country do that to the US or another country for that matter? Would they send troops and bomb tracts of America just because they didn’t like Trump and his policies or any other president? Yes, unfortunately, 9-11 happened but that is not equal to a whole country sending their troops over to wreak devastation on a ‘troubled’ land so as to ‘free’ the people and give them democracy. Maybe now Russia is sadly taking a leaf out of the US’ book.

Malaysia (1) Malaysians are multi culture so people tolerate each other. (2) English is widely spoken in Malaysia so language is not a barrier. (3) KL is greener, as it is in a tropical country. You get a lot of rain but never get sand storm. Dubai (1) Dubai has more prestige and known as Middle East hub for business so the brand name is there. (2) Imported food from Europe like cheese are cheaper in Dubai than in Malaysia (3) Average income is higher in Dubai and so does the cost of living

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Thank you for the great video Andrew. Andrew, but I hope you don't mind me raising this point and that is the current situation in Malaysia. Just a side note, I do very much enjoy Malaysia. But not the Malaysia today. Malaysia has been under a very strict lockdown for several months. The borders have been sealed for the past 1.5 years, only the residents can enter the country but they still have to go through the hotel quarantine. Unlike Thailand, I believe one cannot select the hotel which means - well, it's not that great. So "go where you are treated best" goes right out of the window when it comes to the hotel quarantine. But the mere fact that Malaysia remains shut, 1.5 years on and there is absolutely no light in the tunnel when it comes to reopening, it is extremely difficult to make any plans for Malaysia. Naturally, the covid restrictions are temporary (well, one never knows!) but the pace to move forward in Malaysia is utterly slow.

[@Topknot60]

Thank you for your comment. It is very helpful.

[@bobm4623]

It's not just external borders which have all but closed - but also travel between the states, and even regions within states. Unfortunately, Malaysia is turning into a police state - because you need a letter from the police, if you want to travel. Other problems: a corrupt political class including the police, and an increase in tensions between the Malays and Chinese/Indians. Something that has always been there, but exacerbated by this pandemic. With all these lock downs the economy is also starting to fall apart. The tourist industry, for one, has been hit hard, with hotels closing down - many for good. And local family shops are forced to stay closed, but large chains are able to stay open. This has resulted in an increase of suicides as many people are starting to lose hope.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Also you’ve got plenty of Chinese and Indian women. Many nice mixed girls too as Malaysia is melting pot of cultures. Malaysia probably the only country in SE Asia (besides Singapore) where you can find immigrants from other SE Asian countries. If you are looking for 1 off hookup, Malaysia is probably is not for you. But if you are looking for casual few weeks/months dating or long term dating, it’s great.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Good idea! We also have this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6iUoJmvitatkNk

[@MrSeraphcorp]

Fantastic! Thank You! KLC all the way! 👑💰🎉

[@thedcrypted]

Both are great places but Dubai has terrific winter weather whereas KL is hot constantly

[@hispanocubanoamericano3388]

I've been in both of them so if you ask me KL ticks all the boxes!

[@alighavami135]

You want it or not Dubai is situated in the Middle East and that implies instability and uncertainty so you are not always sure of what will happen in a month or two so there’s a price to pay for this too Thanks for your video

[@user-ln9xq1km4q]

Safety < Dubai Weather < Malaysia Business and trade < Dubai

[@kayflip2233]

you feel unsafe in KL? it's perfectly safe, not even something to consider to compare between the 2 cities, both are safe.

[@ednakh964]

I lived in Dubai for 10 years and really enjoyed every minute of it. I'm thanking to go live there again and probably start a crypto business there. I'm wondering how crypto friendly is it?

[@penivelke]

Hello. do you help people from Europe yo move to Dubai or only americans?thx

[@TSBye-qo1vc]

People from anywhere...

[@Sodainspace]

KL Malaysia is a good balance of both good quality infrastructure and affordable food, good culture and friendly people. UAE is too much glamour and luxury billionaire paradise in the desert, too pretentious and fake even the ppl are not authentic

[@dinman9801]

Agreed 100%

[@deerskin4225]

Foreigners have been kicked out of Malaysia. I do have friends here who had to pack and go, after living for 9 years in Kuala Lumpur! Short notice too. Besides they are telling me that for months prior they have been harassed by police just about everywhere. Malls etc......just for being visibly foreigners. 2 women. Professional women in their late thirties.

[@deerskin4225]

@@infiad1275 I agree. And my friends loved Malaysia and living In Kuala! Had made their lives there. Though they did not appreciate the harassment they were subjected to during all these last months

[@mariedoherty14]

This was helpful. Thank you!

[@Topknot60]

Thank you for your comment. It is good to get local info. Very helpful.

Since the very beginning of the pandemic, treatment of foreigners in this country has become pretty wild. Definitely not the same country anymore. Anyhow its refreshing to stumble upon people online who actually know what they're talking about from time to time.

[@nineaqua]

@Deerskin it is very unfortunate how our govt is treating foreigners now. This govt will not last very long. I can assure you come the general election they will be kicked out in 2 years time . The people are extremely unhappy over their policies at the moment and the way they handled the pandemic. This govt was not elected by the people.
