FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MALAYSIA - KUALA LUMPUR

[@DanHeather]

I agree 100% with everything you said - it's like you read my mind! Since childhood, I was particularly very impressed by the honesty and polite mannerisms of the Malay people (I went to an International school which had pretty much every nationality) They'd tell me about Malaysia, and I always wanted to go to there for a good 15 years. In recent years, I've been all over peninsular Malaysia (multiple trips), and honestly, I gotta say it really is a gem of a place, to visit *OR* live. P.S. *Old Town White Coffee* - nothing else compares :)

[@AhmadFareez]

Old Town FTW!!!!

[@TheWizcakes]

Thank you for your kind words. Glad to know you had enjoyable trips to Malaysia. Happy travels.

[@hazdyparadis2753]

Uber and Grab are generally cheaper than taxis

[@jemimychannel7893]

thank you for your kind compliements about malaysia... thank you again.. much appreciated..

[@khairulasyraf5891]

Thanks for the compliment.. Fully appreciated..

[@postforamar]

Hi buddy.. i stayed in KL for 10 years and whatever Ur saying is 100% correct.. i really miss and love that place until now.. i always wanted to go back to KL. it really a beautiful place with polite people. Life is great in KL.. God Bless Malaysia ..

[@anonymous-uf1en]

Singh Amar thank you so much for your good words! i'm malaysian 😊

[@layism3857]

KL is currently under construction of several mega projects. Expect in 3-4 years its skyline will get a face-lift. Visit us soon!

[@AngloDutchman1]

Glad you're feeling better! Malaysia is on my travel list... can't wait to visit!

[@ScottyDoes]

Thank you :) It should be on everyone's list.

[@azlateef3799]

Thank you for the positive comments about my country... please visit again soon!!!

[@rowniteranger]

I definitely agree. I'm Pinoy but I love Malaysia. I wanna live here forever if somebody wants to adopt me lol. One thing I noticed though, the cab drivers, not all but some, they dont want to use the meter and want to fleece you with whatever Ringgit they can get from you. Otherwise, I love this country very much.

[@facesofthenorth2353]

Pare, now the UBER taught the Worst cab drivers a lesson.

[@artnissfar6747]

taxi service is the only problem in Malaysia and the worst service in here. For tourists never use taxi, just use uber more helpful

[@skyzuone]

dont worry Malaysians now has switched to uber or grab, much cheaper hehe

[@aya976]

with availability and option of Grab & Uber makes transport much easier in Malaysia nowadays....

[@itsewelina]

Its great to hear that it is a great place to go and see. I will definitely remember this while planning a trip.

[@kopxpert]

In the cities, towns, commercial areas etc if u ride your motorbike/scooter without a helmet, it sticks out like a sore thumb. U'll get pulled over in minutes, it's against the traffic laws in Malaysia and it's a strongly enforced law. No one in their right minds would ride a bike without their helmets in the city lol. In residential or more rural areas however, that's a different story.

[@eim_ran]

It was a huge compliment for Malaysian. Thanks. Feel free to come again. Try our beach next time.

[@ZainiRohaizan]

Happy to hear that you love Malaysia.. There a lot more nice places to visit..please come again 😊

[@ScottyDoes]

I will be back :)

[@SamSung-hm4yb]

​@@ScottyDoes Sound good, i appreciate it. Tqsm.

[@railplanetraveller]

I am glad you had a good stay in KL and thank you so much for those kind words about the city. Come back again!

[@aditv3019]

I feel more patriotic after I wash your video. haha. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. I'm going to share your video with my foreign friends since they are coming to my country for their first time ever.

[@fariiisya246]

Mamat Maggi watch la.. huhu

[@moonlurve1230]

Malaysia truly asia..

[@chengong748]

Thanks for your video and compliment. I been in U.K. For 16 years and now is the time for me to go back. Really missed my country.

[@njamil85]

Thanks for visiting my country Malaysia & introducing to others! I hope you enjoyed ur trip in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Always welcomed back here & explore the other part of Malaysia (Penang, Malacca, Borneo & Langkawi)

[@ScottyDoes]

Your country was AMAZING and we will defiantly be back for more adventures :)

[@nkve]

Great to know that u enjoyed your stay in kl. Thank you for the compliment. On your next visit do visit the east coast of Malaysia- kelantan n Terengganu , Penang and also Sarawak and Sabah which is in the Borneo island. You will love the place.

[@legolas7263]

Next time you'd be in malaysia you should go to redang island, perhentian island, sipadan island and the foothill of mount kinabalu where the place is call desa cattle dairy farm. its a paradise!

[@alteredillusions100]

love the free bus "GO KL" 5 routes

[@rascalhusky8129]

I saw rats in Joh Baruh, but none in Kuala lapur. We had A interesting time in KL, good value for money. Sri Lanka was a rip off. Good video.

[@3abydosaurus338]

Hi scott just to share some ideas on where to go next if you happen to travel back to Malaysia..try the East Coast (specifically the state of Kelantan and Terengganu)-great Islands, try the rain forest of Pahang..try the multi ethnics states of Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo Island)...

[@sherifaziz2002]

Hey there Scott, been watching both you and aly's videos about Malaysia. Perhaps if you're planning to have a trip back to Malaysia, make sure you include Kuching, Sarawak as well. Its in the west malaysia, in the island of Borneo. You might want to check about Rafflesia, Semenggoh wildlife, Bako National Park, Gua Mulu or Niah (if you're into caves) and some other more. ^_^y

[@TheMalayaUnion]

yes.. I love borneo

[@NomadicUnicorn]

Really interesting comparison video! Awesome. Glad you guys had a great time 😊

[@ScottyDoes]

We did you should definitely visit :)

[@tigergooner7214]

Can't wait to see KL 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@hijazzains]

KL still need alot of improvements though and need to achieve singapore standards. thanks for the + comments.

[@bimba-lola8910]

KL size 3x singapore city,,,,tapi tak berapa jauh beza sudah compare dgn singapore cuma mentality warga KL yg masih rendah suka buang sampah merata2 dan mental pengotor warga asing membuatkan KL kadang kala nampak low class di mata pelancong itu pun tgk area di KL,,sesetengah area cukup bersih belum campur lagi mentality guna public toilet masih di tahap kurang memuaskan,,tapi tak semua singapore tu bagus kebanyakan rakyat singapore semua ego kalau turun KL shopping masih kurang ajar berlagak sombong,,,malas nak komen banyak2 ,,,

[@bimba-lola8910]

org singapore pun pengotor dtg KL ,,guna toilet tak pam,,,

[@bimba-lola8910]

warga asing yg tinggal sekitaran pusat bandar dan area metro city almost pengotor ,,tahap guna toilet jauh lebih pengotor dari rakyat malaysia sendiri,,that why lah menambahkan kekotoran public toilet itu sendiri,,,tengok saja batu caves sepanjang tangga buang sampah merata-rata semuanya daripada pelancong asing terutama pelancong2 dari negara ASEAN,,yg tahap kebersihan nya yg lebih rendah dari warga tempatan sendiri,,

[@bimba-lola8910]

pelancong dari US,,EURO,,KOREA,,JAPAN ,,super clean,,,but tourist from INDIA,,INDONESIA Bangladesh,,THAILAND,,VIETNAM,CAMBORDIA,,PHILLIPINES and All ASEAN COUNTRY very low minded,,simply2 everywhere they trow rubbish,,that why LOOK KL MORE Dirty,,,

[@bimba-lola8910]

TURUN BUS airasia kat KL Sentral masuk lif stiker Airport simply2 buang dalam lif merata2 ,,,ada yg lekat kat dinding lif,,itu bangsa atau pelancoing negara mana yg ramai naik airasia tambang murah????,,bukan pelancong2 dari serata negara ASEAN kebanyaknya 80%,,,,,

[@misteravocado513]

Thanks for the good comments but i recommend u to visit more places especially in the malaysian borneo.

[@toobydude41]

Oh man! I would've been right there with you guys looking at the lightning!! What a view you must've had!!! Yeah, I love storms!!! Big time weather geek here!!! When I hear a rumble, you can bet it won't be long before I'm standing by a window awaiting to see a flash! Of course the closer the lightning gets, I won't be as close to the window LOL!!

[@ScottyDoes]

It was really weird because we didn't see any lightning. It was still light outside and not even very cloudy then all of a sudden BOOOOOM I pooped my pants lol

[@penanlab]

oh KL is very cosmopolitan.. if u r looking for something more raw yet have all the nicest element msia has to offer (food culture history etc) go to Penang

[@panzlithium]

There's 'becha' in Malacca, the historical city in Malaysia. You should visit Bandar Hilir in Malacca for becha rides, it's a bicycle trishaw (I guess!)

[@kgdangar2]

Hi there im malaysian myself. Just to share my opinion regarding the toilets condition in malaysia are like that becos the majority of the people is muslim of which we use water/bidet to clean up our business. It is very difficult in my opinion to keep the toilet dry when it involves water and yes something need to be figured out to mitigate this thing. Anyway, we spend very little time in the toilet thus that should not be the reason for not having fun for the rest of the day right mate? Lol

[@marsilladewibaruch7097]

Should have tried the infamous coffee 555 from batu Pahat. A must have for HM's every morning breakfast

[@farhantheonlyone]

thanks coz visit kuala Lumpur..yup i do agreed about the toilet.. mmm well if u r planning to visit again, i suggest to u to go visit the east peninsula malaysia ( state of kelantan, terengganu or pahang) or east Malaysia ( sabah n sarawak).. if u love seafood nature u got to go to sabah.. I've been there couple of time and seriously it's worth very penny... wish u very good vacation next time...

[@lipiriapau7170]

Love your Videos Blessings,

[@ScottyDoes]

Thank you :)

[@heeshwaarmohan5229]

The next time when you visit Malaysia, please do come to Penang.

[@ScottyDoes]

[@henryyeoh5028]

I love the UK too :)... I am studying in London .

[@henryyeoh5028]

I'm Malaysian :)

[@mencot89]

The toilet situation...as a Malaysian I'd say Thailand and Indonesia has better toilets. It's crazy how in Indonesia the most isolated places even has better toilets than us lol it's a shame really

[@bimba-lola8910]

are you sure,,,i been both country ,,public toilet so dirty ,,,even in supermall also the same thing,,rubbish everwhere,,,comparing public and at the Mall toilet malaysia much better,,,

[@heri9949]

wet =/= dirty

[@bestmomenttv7767]

Rene Robyn yes thats the only reason of the comparison between water user and paper toilet..

[@mfms1173]

@Rene Robyn bro go back to school, who teached you "wet is dirty" ? it's a find water LOL. thailand and vietnam they didnt use the water too, but more dirty than Malaysia

[@mfms1173]

hahaha kau pandai-2 je, malaysia lg bersih drpd thailand and indo. kau pun bkn nye nak tlg2 bersihkan pun bising je lebih pandai2 buat cerita palsu, kau tak pernah tgk jgn hina negara sendiri, bengong. apa yg kau dah sumbangkan utk negara?

[@papamyb]

Middle transport.. u can use GRAB..

[@aya976]

Great reaction.... Alcohol expensive in Malaysia due the Govt discourage its citizen to drink less and avoid drinking culture.....

[@Catherinee]

Love your videos very informative 👌

[@ScottyDoes]

Thank you

[@fariday96]

u should try visiting melaka in malaysia..it a historical city..and it has middle transport name becca..u can ride it and go around the city...and if u wanna find a good beach should go to Sabah...their beach is really clean and beautiful...

[@ScottyDoes]

Cool Thanks, We will look into it. :)

[@logorithm]

Yeah you're right in everything you said! Our toilets... really is a shame. Gotta be wary when walking along the streets though, coz snatch theft is getting rampant.

[@HUGO-mj4wq]

Come to terengganu malaysia... amazing.....

[@SaadonAksah]

Come on Scott lets get a new video from you! 👍

[@mashamj]

Next time you'd be in Malaysia you should go to Melaka!

[@ScottyDoes]

Our next trip there will be for a longer period of time and its so cool how we are given a 3 month visa :)

[@dieexplorer9230]

Good point, we'll do something about the public toilets but not the thunderstorm eemm..

[@ScottyDoes]

[@dieexplorer9230]

[@jeremybackhouse1028]

Uber is amazing in Malaysia as well

[@vikingspread]

[@ronaldrt]

[@amberhill6776]

The middle ground for transport is actually UBER :)

[@arrifhaikal3860]

[@ScottyDoes]

We just arrived and its amazing :)

[@theartofthereel455]

Does your estimate of cost count airfare?

[@ScottyDoes]

No airfare was £40 each :)

[@ifques30]

Obviously he didnt took the ktm. Thank lord. All of the trains are reliable except for the national train. So if u in a rush dont take the ktm for intercity travel

[@noorhannahfarah1511]

Hi I am from malaysia...

[@alundavies8402]

The best thing about Malaysia is my family I have Nephews and Nieces they are wonderful And I adore them they help their Mums to do chores whilst I was doing the Decorating because I was Told that my workmanship is Exceptional (it is) and they are my princes and princesses they are my best thing in Malaysia

[@atsilkm3ahm457]

COURSE KL IS CLEANER

[@jeremybackhouse1028]

Rats! We lived in Hoi an and have never seen so many rats!

[@imagonnasah8319]

Toilets......that's a shame.

[@ScottyDoes]

something to work on I guess :)

[@sherifaziz2002]

One of the reason why Thailand's toilet to be in a better condition is due to we here in Malaysia use water to as our daily cleaning tools as opposed to toilet paper in Thailand and some other asian countries.

[@TheNatuza]

Sherif Nasreen most south/southeast asians use bidets, even non muslims

[@fastcx]

TBH, SEA countries mostly had hose and bidets, it's just the matter of how malaysian use it. It's something we need to acknowledge and improve, not giving excuses.

[@heri9949]

fastcx exactly. we actually use the hose to wash ourself as to other countries. just because they have a hose doesnt mean theyre using it they probably use toilet paper instead. although i can see why people would think its dirty but as a malaysian i dont think wet = dirty.

[@deletc4198]

Dude you happened to be at a wrong place without rats and cockroaches

[@dan_hakd.hakimie8936]

There's some dirty place in Malaysia.Only the Goverment want to make tourist feel that Malaysia is clean..

[@ScottyDoes]

obviously I didn't think it was a conspiracy :)

[@amierasyuhada]

+Scotty Does 😂😂😂😂

[@허-x5y]

Yeah Thailand is much dirtier
