the difference between Japan and Malaysia

[@MyMelody5]

To be honest it’s mostly like this in rest of the world lols. Japan is the exception. 😂

[@Orkidlili]

Went to Singapore last week and plastic bags are between $0.10 - $0.30 depending on where you shop 😂

[@user-tq9vs6fc9u]

Yep, it’s definitely the same in China when it comes to grocery stores. But I liked that when I went to a cosmetic store they gave me like 10 things even though I only bought like 4.

[@Lunaanimedrawingchannel2]

Idk for presents in belgium they always wrap it for free i think, some times there's even wrapping paper to do it yourself

[@user-tl1bw4wp1c]

So Japanese goods are very expensive, the Japanese will find ways to charge you more money from all kinds of places.

[@moraganaitabibito]

Uh... No plastic bag. Only bag

[@hubert9726]

Not just the plastic bag, Japanese service with a smile while Malaysian one it's like I owe them money 😅

[@queenlip6152]

Well, you do owe them $until you pay up! 😅

[@khairulanas5659]

Pay up and go.. 😁😁😊

[@sanjiunchai9060]

you memang owe them money. haha.

[@shashabie22]

Exactly!!😂😂😂😂

[@ElficGuy]

In America you can just go to a fancy place and then a cheaper one and experience both

[@wucieruuu]

20 sen is real quick change decision

[@MalayPanTV]

Right!!!!😂😂

[@ijuwan17]

now days it's 50sen ...

[@yanimzz1842]

ada yg charge 50 sen tapi tak bg tau. kita tgk resit terkejut baru tau kena charge

[@user-bi8ko7kc6h]

Here in the UK is almost MYR 5 per bag in supermarket 😭 thx for the plastic bag tax.

[@joshuax1987]

Not sure about other state, Penang now charge RM 1 per bag

[@izzatyusof3188]

Hahahahah yup..., it Just ez going Life Style...

[@MalayPanTV]

Yes yes😂😂

[@Huntingshark]

I'm from India and in most of the areas of India plastic carry bag is banned ...for polution prevention😊

[@AiFlow369]

​@Huntingshark same here in Malaysia and Japan, plastic bag need charge.

[@stefgoh6160]

ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!! Omg different shopping experience… uniqlo japan also offers free bags but not sg. Anywhere sg need to pay for bags. We try to BYO.

[@freshbreadloaves]

uniqlo aust is also applying the same paying for bags or BYO :)

[@jophei4795]

M'sia all need to pay for plastic bags😢

[@deeb.9250]

I think it's better to pay, less waste. We also pay in Philippines

[@pakhowong4133]

I hate da idea of byo, da free bag normally use for rubbish back at home

[@JP-kfc]

When was the last time you came to Japan? I live there and you need to pay for the bags. I think they've done away with the Plastic and only offers paper bags now.

[@larrysilverman7132]

They are so funny but true Beautiful Couple ❤🎉

[@user-yv3mc6vo5b]

True😂

[@lenafucheehwa4707]

Is a fact that Japan Vs Malaysia has ways of entertaining their customers. A funny couple of their actions speak louder. 😂😂

[@Holdmymawashi]

Ahh I was in a Japanese bookstore the other day (in Sydney) and I was going to pack the books into my reusable bag myself and I think I surprised the staff because they wanted to do it for me. So kind and I felt spoilt. Usually I just bag my purchases myself!!

[@JS-ih7lu]

The staff at Kinokunya are not Japanese, they are from Sydney. They also charge money for a plastic bag 😂

[@theagenttomato]

At least in Malaysia they ask you (?), in America half the time they don’t and you walk out confused why you have a ¢.20 charge and why the retail attendant has an attitude problem.

[@garrett6064]

You're not American.

[@KingKong-nf9nl]

Americans dont charge for grocery bags wtf? I mean, not unless you go shopping at Aldi with the purchase of an Aldi grocery bag.

[@kanjakan]

Tell me you're not American without telling me

[@kurusgyros7365]

guys, they charge ¢0.10 for plastic bags in California. Every grocery store, gas station, clothes shop, etc. I dunno about other states.

[@theagenttomato]

@@KingKong-nf9nl maybe shop around sometime, and you’ll discover something new

[@Ibtisam._.Qreen577]

Is so true, i live in Malaysia

[@MalayPanTV]

I'd rather choose no bag if they ask me for some money😂😂

[@User-DrChaos]

​@@MalayPanTVme too😂

[@roostacasterchannel9872]

Yet plastic bags found thrown everywhere in Malaysia... On land, drainage, river, sea etc...

[@norasimahrahman2912]

Lies...Malaysian mindset is no longer in the 70s..we are environment conscious now.. Indonesia on the other hand though... P/s. : I mention indonesia bcos i guess the person commented is indonesian..they love to downgrade Malaysia..saying we are like this...we are like that when it is THEM who are like what they say we are...e.g..that comment that says plastic bags everywhere..just look at the rivers in their country...so very2 filthy...not fit tor human..

[@mirzamuhammad6097]

Also inside the toilet bowl

[@zainob3386]

yes.. save to keep clean in our country Malaysia.. dont waste plastic every where..

[@sharkdududu123]

The program mostly applies to large company franchises. Many shops (mainly outside the mall) still give you plastics for free. But still good initiatives to lessen the plastic use.

[@pakhowong4133]

I always use my plastic bag for rubbish later

[@khairulhakimin546]

Hahahahaha. Hat ni lawak. Tak boleh tahan that crazy long bow and that RM0.20sen. 😂😂😂😂

[@rukhsanaidrishi6295]

*The Japanese bags were soo cute* ❤

[@EBcooL88Bard]

i remember after i finish my spm and i decide to work as a casher at my aunt shop. some costumer said,why you not smiling. and i tell her "im tired of smiling,my cheeks almost got cramp" she just laugh

[@Ceciliaccc882]

thought you gonna say, 'tired already mah' 😂

[@ryono2759]

Wow the wrapping skill is good

[@JgnKepoBlog]

Indonesian and Malaysian have the same cultures & habits 😂😂😂

[@animefans3288]

This is so relatable😂❤

[@Mister_Ri_MFBMT]

No plastic. Save the environment.

[@keisthai.]

We do not care

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

No dolphin is gonna eat that shit

[@susbedo9258]

well, in Japan, their society is proactively very committed to recycling in every household. so it kind of balance it out.

[@sansan313-en8ui]

That plastic tax DO NOT help much to save environment. Plastic bags only constitutes less than 3% of plastic pollutants on the seas

[@Mister_Ri_MFBMT]

@@sansan313-en8ui It matters not the statistics abt it. It is abt the effort you undertake & execute to achieve the objectives. 3% for you seem so little. But how much more the creatures in the seas managed to be saved & still alive? 1 portion of creatures & humans are included on land & air is equal to 10x portion of creatures in the sea including the djins. So, you count what your 3% is equalled to in numbers?

[@ceumareterra2713]

I loved the Japanese way, if the person is giving what they bought as a gift👏

[@JS-ih7lu]

Meanwhile, the Japanese shop assistant curses in their head that they have to use so much wrapping on your purchase. All the Japanese “politeness” are fake 😂

[@191Gold]

But it's good that Malaysia government is focusing on reducing plastic usage.

[@PassionPno]

It varies by state. In Penang, you can’t even get a plastic bag on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the days, gotta pay MYR 1 for it.

[@JoanKSX]

Seriously? I thought Penang everyday no plastic bag LOL except traditional wet market...

[@joies3417]

Excessive packaging in Japan haiyaa...I love Malaysian style, not too obsessive about anything (generally speaking), simple yet presentable. 😍

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

Wtf? Malaysian version just means lu beli lepas tu lu punya pasal. Japanese version means we care about your objective.

[@elainedickinson7521]

I loved the shoppings in Japan.. It's so Japanese culture.. Those items that were perfectly wrapped up, made them difficult to give away as omiyage. 😅 Arigatogizaimas .

[@animeninja2749]

Tbf in japan is also the same if you refuse plastic bag they just give you the naked item

[@soonny002]

Haha love this! You guys are funny. ^_^

[@Buttercookiesssss]

I appreciate the effort if the item I am buying is a gift. Else I usually just chuck into my bag it's easier too

[@hungo7720]

This video perfectly highlights the meticulousness of customer service in Japan compared to any where else on Earth.

[@ymho2155]

Just put the things into the bag, no need to wrap, otherwise we need to unwrap it and throw off the wrapping paper, long queue and extra unnecessary processes.Unless if we do want to give something special for someone then we would wrap it with even prettier nicer wrapping paper.

[@hakitam6007]

They just want to give the feeling like customers receive gifts from the store. When someone gives you a gift, you feel happy right? Same concept. I think you can refuse the gift wrap what...

[@tantuce]

​@@hakitam6007 I'm happy to receive my gifts in their original packaging. Or just in a paper bag if you think you must put it into something. Those wrappings and sticky tape, adornments really bother me and my bin (rubbish container)

[@chelseapenguin6465]

Australia is the same as Malaysia

[@MalayPanTV]

Oh really!? i think Aussie plastic bags will be very expensive...isn't it?

[@lynncomel]

The first one in branded stores inside shopping malls. The second one is supermarket everywhere starting to charge for plastic bags, they first started every weekends but now it's daily. The third is hawkers or small shops provide plastic bag no matter how little you buy.

[@durandus676]

Every souvenir or shrine thing i bought they did this. I kept all the wrapping paper and really appreciated it lol

[@aliquraishi3525]

Depends on profit margin too. In Japan it is $50 while in Malaysia it is only $5.

[@gamtax]

Even they give me plastic bag, I insist them not to give me even it's free. It causes me having irrational overthinking about where I need to put it after using it other than to the garbage bin...

[@elisabethivey5615]

[@cloudxenogear]

In Malaysia, the buyer said thank you to the seller..😂

[@veer66]

I like both but in different situations.

[@opheriayu]

That was so real I was expecting more customers 😂

[@dell4u148]

That rarely happens in Japan . They will wrap your package for free indeed but only if you asked them to saying that it’s a gift. The extra bags will be given only if you buy multiple products in the eventuality that you will gift the products to someone else. For normal shoppings you buy your own bags and you are packing your stuff yourself. It only depends of the place and what you buy.

[@clidboon6509]

Doesnt that make you feel like your business is apreciated. Thats awsome. Reminds you of how much the value of service has fallen in the western world.

[@senjougaharahitagi]

Malaysia same like Turkey really 😂😂😂💕

[@hogwater]

Here in Canada they don't even sell the disposable bags anymore, you have to purchase a reusable bag for between 25 cents and 2 dollars depending on the store.

[@JK-wb1dw]

In SG, we don't say "plastic bag" . We just say "plastic"? We like everything chop chop la

[@esheppard971]

So Japanese people must be super nice. It's similar in Canada to the Malaysia one.

[@bukarionome9221]

Honestly I find it annoying when I’m being charged for plastic bag here in Malaysia and the workers act like they’re doing you a favor 😂😂 it took me a while to get used to it as a norm unlike back home in Nigeria. All in all, I would say it’s a culture thing & normal here lol

[@tantuce]

I bring my own shopping bag with me to the shop. If I've forgotten I take one of the cardboard boxes from shop shelves. In most of our shops crisp packets, yoghurt tubs are put on the shelf with their cardboard box. Or another shop called Morrisons put empty boxes on a shelf by tills, do customers can take them And that helps the shop financially cos they need to pay for their rubbish containers

[@bukarionome9221]

@@tantuce it took me a while to get used to it… infact till date I’m not used to it … I still pay for plastic bags each time I buy anything… I’m so used to getting it for free back home so spending a few cents is definitely a major shock I’m willing to spend on lol

[@Spykitty358]

The Malaysian one is relatable. Except I'd buy like 10 different items and they give me the death stare asking if i want a bag. Like man i have 10 different items what do you think 😂

[@TheAngel3767]

They are asking in case we have our own shopping bag and also staring in doubts 😂

[@darthbiker2311]

I love how Japanese stores provide free giftwrapping service every time, it seems.

Well in supermarket in some part of tokyo i have to bring the basket to another corner after paying and put my items into recycle bags i bought.

[@borahae07army_12]

People saying "Japan is exception" is wrong ❌ I'm from Bangladesh and they'll give you as many bags as you like no matter the size. my parents were shocked when they traveled to other countries and they charged them for even a small bag. Here supermarkets give you good quality bags not even plastic. even street fruit vendors will give you as many plastic bags you require. The good or bad behavior depends on the person though.

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

Nicely wrapped and packed with extra nice bag 👍

Almost same here in the Philippines lah. The local grocery here charges you for eco bag every Tuesday and Thursday. 😂

In my country Nepal,the shopkeeper says to the customer,"there is no bargaining,if you bargain i will increase the price.there is extra charge for the bags , don't kill the time just take the stuff and move away".

In india also, its same as Malaysia. Bags are costly. So we sometimes takes handmade tote bag with us. 😅

[@gengis01]

It costs half as much in Malaysia. The two bags are not free. The long bow is not free. It’s all included in price. Also, Malaysian people are very friendly and smile at you all the time. Japanese only smile at you when they are paid too.

[@MiTsuRiN09]

We either bring our own recycle bags/shopping bags or get a new one at the store/checkout. No more plastic bags or extra wrapping as much as possible. We might not give you plastic but most of the cashiers will say thank you or a nod and smile. Most of them...at least 😅

[@MrShivasivananthan]

The Malaysian service is pretty accurate. That's how they do it even in grocery stores. like they literally ask you if you want to pay for a bag for 30sen when you buy a pile of groceries over 100 ringitt. Some even run a scam where they only keep expensive fabric bags which run at over 3 ringitts. And of you ask for a normal plastic bag which is inexpensive they say they dont stock it. You have to bring your own bag or risk spending the extra money. no not all countries are that bad. Though they arent good to the extent of Japan's service. Also not all Malaysian stores are like that. Better branded stores give you pretty nice bags on their own

[@mishellablessed9982]

Malaysia is like my country 😂😂😂

[@Orhneeyou]

Japanese staff would even come out from behind the counter to hand me the goods I've purchased!! Amazed

[@GenshinImpactEi]

Well it actually a bit different back then in Malaysia. They used to gave free plastic bag, but after a few years they changed that you jave to buy them, it to prevent population loss in the see like mostly sea turtle. My mom always brings a big with her to carry stuff. But in a big mall, you don't need to pay for the plastic bag.

[@corinahengcorinaheng6674]

These days you also have to pay for plastic bags in Japan. They're still p cheap, so many Japanese get them and use them as trash bags just as they have always done.

[@ComebacktomeSunshine_3090]

I went to 99, I bought many and the cashier was not in a good mood. After scanning my items, just shoved it aside. I'm not done packing yet and she keeps on telling me to pay. The person next to me in line, helps me to packed. Thank you. Ps. I'm not Malaysian.

Sad but True. Omotenashi Spirit of Japan
