Revealing the Secrets: What Germany Can Learn from Malaysia

#malaysia #germany #personaljourney
Malaysia versus Germany. I am providing 10 Things that I believe Germany can learn from Malaysia. Some of them might SHOCK YOU!
And an 11th Point, which is a secret :-), for now.
Is there something that Germany can learn from Malaysia? Surely there is and it goes beyond just the great Malaysian food.
I am going deeper, into Malaysian culture and how Malaysian culture compares to German culture.
And these 10 things have been created in no particular order. None is more important than another point, but some might be more amusing, while others hopefully leave you with a BIG AHA Moment.
This video about Malaysia and Germany has been created with my best intention at heart.
It is my own personal view and describes my experiences. I do not intend to offend anyone, as I am a strong believer in respecting other people and I am open to a fair exchange of ideas or even follow-up videos.

💥 WHO IS ANDREAS DORN 💥
I am a German, who came to Malaysia and Asia back in 1993, initially with the United Nations. In this capacity, I worked at the Prime Minister's Department in Kuala Lumpur.
Following this, I moved to Indonesia, Singapore and back to Malaysia, which now is my home.
Working in a HR Consulting Company, I came across NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming in 2003 and became a Certified Trainer of NLP in 2006.
NLP has helped me to create my life the way I want to live it, and I now teach and coach people to experience the same.
👉 What Is NLP?
NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming is an incredibly easy way to help people like you understand why you are stuck in their life. More importantly, NLP can help you, through its methodology and techniques, to get rid of limiting beliefs and remove negative emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, phobia, and panic.
NLP also helps you to communicate more effectively and influentially to people around you, but also to yourself.
Ultimately, NLP gives you the ability to create your life and get the results that you want.
Look around yourself and you find people that have studied NLP and human behaviours and become incredibly successful.
People like Tony Robbins, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, or sports athletes like Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg, and others.

The "no biggie" attitude and the kindness of most people are things that I appreciate in Malaysia after living almost two years in Germany. I remembered once I had an accident with a car in front of me. It was my fault that I hit the back of the car of a Malay guy. He was very angry at first when he got out of the car. But when he saw my apologetic face, he immediately smiled at me and said "tak apa" which means "it's okay". I gave him my number so that he could let me know the cost of repair. But he never called me.

Fellow German here. Been in this most wonderful country with my family for 23 years. I can relate mostly to 'not smiling and always complaining' being such a turn-off but whilst Germany may take the crown I also find that is a general trait of Western countries vs Asian countries. Things to add: 11) International school education is much higher in MY, 12) Healthcare system is much better, 13) MY friends are happy for you if you achieve something rather than being jealous.

But since we've so used to clean our parts with water after done with our business, it's really hard to not have water in the toilet.

I think malaysia is like a house where they are many rooms and each room resided an ethnic in there. For each room one ethnic. But there rooms also for the ethnic that have different religion from the majority. And everyone with different religion will go out from the ethnic room and come into religion room where they discuss the issues related to their religion and spend times with people of the same faith. In that house also there's a living room where everyone can be together and miggle around. But when it's time, everyone return to their ethnic room because there is where their family live in and make them feel like home. Its looks segregated but this is how you keep the harmonious relationship in multiracial country which each group still embrace and stick to their values in the same time have respect toward others.

The fact that all of the good things you said about Malaysia are still true makes me very happy. As Malaysia progresses towards becoming a developed society like Germany, I hope that more Malaysians watch your video as a reminder to conserve all the lovely things you described before they begin to deteriorate. The society in the big cities is currently becoming more westernised, whether as a result of lifestyle choices or out of respect for personal space, which has prevented individuals from intruding each other's private spaces. I was able to better understand how different the two societies-old and modern-are when you compared Germany and Malaysia. Malaysia's urban society is now becoming more comparable to that of Germany, as you mentioned in the video.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Thank you. Your warm words made my day!. And yes, while urbanisation is something that cannot be prevented, we should try to preserve as much as possible from positive traditional values.

Our latest problem in Malaysia that is eroding our "we" "social" culture is the size of houses especially apartments and even condo getting smaller and smaller 900sq ft, 500 sq ft. Not even enough space to chill in your room on the floor, barely enough for a bed and a wardrobe. For the Muslims, not even enough space to pray without bumping into the furniture. Inviting ppl over means like inviting 4-6 ppl max. Bye bye to hanging out at home with our big families. We have to rendezvous outside of our home, 'schedule' visits, target family members who have big houses. So yeah, the lax government policies, greed of property developers, and us not standing up to our rights to better living conditions that suit our demeanor, family ties, culture and even religious needs are contributing to the erosion of our unity and strength. SPACE MATTERS.

@@user-wr8pu2xk9z - The high cost of living is the main factor that has changed people's way of life in today's society, particularly urban dwellers. A large family could once be afforded, but because of the high cost of living, many people today struggle just to afford a small flat in the cities, and other people only want to have one or two children. People therefore just look for residences that fall within their price range. Therefore, if they still have the money, any family gatherings like weddings, birthday parties, or just get-togethers should be held elsewhere.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Thank you for your positive comment..... I love the little misspell in the end..... God bless Maria, which, I believe, was meant to be Malaysia. I love the rural areas, and I am often in Perlis. Have you been there? But there is so much more to discover, as such, you are right 😄

Thanks for sharing the extraordinary habits, behaviors, social life and other important stuff about Malaysia, it's true that Malaysia is a blessed country and the people are very friendly and helpful to others, just a small and friendly advice for you that you should not compare Malaysia to any other specific country like you did with Germany, you can admire the blessings in Malaysia but please do not put them on one side of the scale and other country on the other side of the scale. There are lots countries same like Germany that are not similar like Malaysia, hopefully you got my point of view. God bless you for appreciation of others kindness and helpfulness.

I love how you put it. A smile is a sign of respect and love. That's wonderful! 😄

[@PrakashKumar-lg4vy]

I was in Germany recently. A lovely country, especially how everything was very efficient. Hamburg was especially lovely. However, the biggest challenge, as a non-German speaker, was trying to navigate through the city with everything in German. It was hard to find anything in English. Even the shows on TV were all translated to German. Besides that, enjoyed my trip.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Oh yes, that's what I realized as well when I came from Malaysia to visit Germany. It's terrible for foreign visitors. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@alleymittanderson5799]

Agree with you. I always saying this to my family, friends, colleague that, we didnt realize how good Malaysia is until you are venturing out of the country and living at foreign country as an expatriate. Living abroad for many years and travelling around make me love my country more.. And uh.. Yeah, my family are consists of 4 different nationalities, 6 races and different language as 1st language and believe in 3 different religions.. No matter how different its sound, we agreed on one think Malaysia is the best to live in 😅

1: Respecting the elders. 2. Take care of parents when they are old, as opposed to senior houses and old folks home.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Yes, your points are so important! So incredibly important. Thank you for sharing.

[@hafizatulsufiahyaacob5186]

And even if they can't do it full time,they find alternatives that could help like elderly daycare. Kinda like kindergarten but for the elderly. Usually for those who live in the city and work full fulltime. At least, this way, the parents are not alone and will be properly cared.

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

All Malaysian elderly are called aunty & uncle as a big one family.

I've been living in Germany for 10 year, married to German. I can relate to your points..may I add some more? It bothers me that restaurants here don't have sink to wash hand. I don't want to go toilet to wash hands. My hands got dirty again after i opened the toilet door. Not to mention I lost my appetite after i smell something horrible in the toilet during my hand washing.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Igs! I can relate. That's why I open the toilet door with tissues. Thank you so much for sharing. Such an important point 👊

[@MalaysianTropikfusion]

For what it's worth: Some cheapo eateries in Malaysia don't provide soap for washing. Sometimes they even dilute the hand wash.

[@asiaminddynamics]

True

[@zafir7007]

Why Germans dont smile? Maybe because of the weather. Malaysia is full of sunshine. It effects our mood.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Could be the weather. You might be right but really, Malaysians smile a lot.

I'm always wondering why foreigner think people smile is a unique to Malaysian? Are the people smile to their family and close friend only or is it just their culture to be wary among the people? This is question only, I don't have any intention to offend anyone. Because it's awkward whenever I smile at the foreigner and they give me suspicious eyes. Not all foreigner, but some of them. In malaysia, smile a form of greeting or acknowledge people without words. You can greet people with smile anywhere without words and they will respond with a smile back. Then I watch your video and highlight the smile to people. I didn't know it was a unique traits to have because it's such a natural trait in Malaysia. I hope people all over the world can smile more. When you smile, surprisingly you have the strength to face your day, even if you have an unlucky day. That is my opinion and it does work for me. When you smile, others will also smile too.

[@asiaminddynamics]

Your awesome comment requires a longer response, because you said something which is very true and to the point. And my opinion comes as a German 😃. It is in our bones to be weary when people smile at us. Especially if they are strangers. The instant evaluation comes.... "what does he (and I say he, but it can involve a she) want from me? What is he up to? I got to be careful, they want my money, or more from me." As such, even a natural smile from a Malaysian is evaluated like this. I have the feeling that Malaysians are a kind lot of people. They smile, and are friendly. The warmth of your smile is shown in the eyes..... which is important, of course, as well, because there are smiles on the lips but not in the eyes. But still, because Germans are in a foreign country, out of the water, they can't quite read it and thus, retreat. Do I make sense to you?

[@taqwadynamic]

@@asiaminddynamics I see. That's sad. to associate a smile with hidden intention. I hope more people can smile naturally and without fear. Who knows, maybe a smile can save someone from drowning in their inner demon.

[@asiaminddynamics]

@@taqwadynamic it is quite sad considering that a smile can shift worlds and beliefs.

[@MVPA-io5ee]

This point makes me remember Russian for some reason. Russian as a whole also don't smile at people, not saying they're not going to be friendly, it's just culturally they don't just smile to strangers. And I think I've heard someone said, weather also plays a "minor" role. People who come from colder climate rarely smile, people who come from tropical climate smile more easily to people. Their observation not mine.

[@khalidihjikhsan3188]

Always smiling. Smile is free. You don't have to pay for it.

hi sir thank you for highlight our Malaysian values 👍🏻👍🏻 Well ..those foreigner i think need to learn how to use the word 'lah' in their sentence, i e come on lah ,no lah, i am hungry lah..etc 😂 ' lah' just a word without any specific meaning that we always use here ,just to add flavor and humor..but we can know if the person is angry or happy from the way they pronounce their ' lah' i.e no lah ( meaning ' i don't want, please go away) ..no laaahhhl ( angry and fed up)

[@alexeilyubimov7760]

Totally feel your second point in Germany, so many things that can be done online instantly, have to be faxed or mailed. But when I think about it, it is actually not entirely a bad thing. Keeping the old ways...less efficient indeed; but safer, more human. Ne?

[@asiaminddynamics]

I agree that it has its good and it's bad. But living in Malaysia, it's hard to depend on letters as letters also take a long time to reach its destination. I missed deadlines etc. Or, imagine you have to wait 6 weeks or more to change a password.... 😂🤔
