Ben, remember this.
Malaysian they love foreigners specially white people. But malaysian they hate each other but they hide it. They boycotting each other. Specially malays and the Chinese.
Migration is NOT the problem. QUALITY OF MIGRATION IS!
malondesh is the problem 😂😂😂
@@bbbadbathbedNo, Indondesh is the main problem.. 😂
I've been to L.A, London and Paris, I can assure anyone Malaysia is much safer than any major city in Europe and America
Capitalism is the root of all ....
When tourists females said males stairing at them actually not Malaysian, there are foreign workers from South Asians countries.
Still malaysians are like that. Mostly guys. Stop being blind as a malaysian. Even i'm also a malaysian guy can see it
Sri Lankans, Bangaldesh, India, Pakistan ... you know what MrAndre meant. Definitely not Malaysians.
From Indian Islands aka Indonesia too
Very true.... BUT tourists doesnt realise Malaysia has a high migrant population here from Bangladesh, and India..etc.....especially weekends and holidays in KLCC, KL area. Thats where they congregate
Yes, but to them all Jungle bunnies look the same.
Hey, just wanted to clarify something for our friends visiting from China. Yeah, you'll notice that there are a lot of foreign workers in Kuala Lumpur, usually from countries like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, and even the Middle East. Pretty much people from all over Asia are here.
And yeah, some of these guys act like they've never seen a woman before, especially when they stare. Even we locals find it annoying sometimes. Just so you know, Malaysian guys usually don’t stare at women, even those wearing revealing clothes. That's because in Malaysia, we have three major races: Malays, Chinese, and Indians (plus our friends from Sabah and Sarawak). So, we're kinda used to seeing Malaysian Chinese women dressed a bit more openly, it’s not a big deal for us.
Most of the time, the ones doing all the staring are foreign workers in KL. And it’s pretty rare for Malaysians to ask you for photos or anything. We’ve been taught to be respectful towards tourists, and most of us just mind our own business. It’s not that we’re rude or unfriendly; we just respect your privacy. But once you get to know us, Malaysians are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet!
Enjoy your holiday in Malaysia!🇲🇾 #malaysiatrulyasia
Malaysian men here, couldnt agree more 😂😂😂
And cat calling is not exists in our vocab 😅
I am Malay. I would never look at these girls.
I agree with the above comment, I have visited KL several times and always feel safe. I love Malaysia and the people are so friendly and helpful.
Yes I agree with everything you said. 💯
Top3 crime index city in southeast asia :
1. Kuala Lumpur
2. Port Klang Selangor
3. Manila.
Literally, most Malaysian men are educated and busy working, they don't have time linger on to stare at these foreign women (except the Moroccan) they look so common, btw most Malaysian women are more decent, classy and attractive.. Those who want to selfie with that china woman could be immigrants like bangla or nepal etc probably they never see Chinese women in their country ☺️
Definitely ... they are giving a BAD NAME too Malaysian

Hi Ben, as an older Scots woman I just wanted to chip in and say I feel safer in KL than I do some areas in Edinburgh. So much so I'm retiring there in a couple of weeks time.

The chinese tourist think staring in Malaysia bad, wait until they goto visit India or Bangladesh first
The problem is they think they are cute and sexy. Did u see the Chinese girl with the red dress with hairy armpit. Wtf. Disgusting.
I'm just about to say that....😅 Go to Gujerat !
the staring that she received here in malaysia are from indian or bangladeshi workers here
Hahaha ... How safe is MALAYSIA compared to South Asian nations, African nations or some South American nations..... Malaysia is very very safe ... staring is Immigrants traits
@@ardentblue7493hahaha indeed that's true...as if Malaysian never seen Ah Moi wearing mini skirts before
I think migrants need to attend & pass a course related to “moral & ethics in Malaysia” before given work permits/visa..
YES because the travellers think the men are locals
They cannot pass because very few tourists visit Bangladesh or pakistan so they find them easy target here
So, even here in Canada, the locals may stare at people who call attention to themselves
morals & ethics in malaysia is an oxymoron
@Karim-so9jc well I lived in manitoba for 2.5 years. I went to the Indian reserves up north. They stared too being curious to see Asians up north in the Indian reserve (first nations). But I am male. Staring at solo women makes them feel insecure.
You are very sharp in highlighting that the staring often comes from the migrants.
Because we told him so
Local people (orang kampung) also stair so much for different reasons
Busybody
Jealously
Curious
Most of the people you're seeing on the streets are not Malaysian.

Do you mean to say 90% of the population are foreigners
Those who like to stare at people or make others feel uncomfortable are usually foreign workers from India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, and other countries-not Malaysians.
I don't agree with that Malaysian also stare a lot compared to the gulf
@bluemountain19 lol...malaysia has three major races and that's malay,indian and chinese...we malaysian have used to seeing chinese girl with shorts and mini skirt since 1957...its normal...dont mistake indonesian immigrant with malay people...they're different
@@bluemountain19 Malaysian people are used to seeing extremes-- short mini skirts and scandalous dresses, extravagant saris and expensive cheongsams fit for a wedding celebration, and long fully-clothed from head-to-toe Muslim ladies walking around full of beauty and elegance all in one country, all in one shopping mall. You can count on a Malaysian not to stare out of politeness, but if they do, it's because you stand out but they're not gonna catcall or disturb you. Migration workers though... I had one waiter at a mamak flirt with me just because I'm a woman even tho I cued in basic gestures that it was uncomfortable, and I am Malaysian. There are exceptions, of course. But there's a solid *reason* why visitors find Malaysians respectful and friendly.
thank you ben for highlighting the difference between Malaysians and migrants...just because Malaysia has a sizeable indian population it doesn't mean that all brown people are from Malaysia, they are a small minority but highly concentrated in certain part of kl or other major city in malaysia
I don't know, and i try not to be stereotypical, but i saw lot of interview like this. But everytime PRC being interviewed, we can see how critical PRC talking about other country. Feel unsafe, feel threatened etc.. As they are superior than other.
But everyone knows how loud they are in public, rude and lack of manners etc. Look at the last girl from PRC, she felt uncomfortable if other people wanna take photo with her, but she is the one who ask Ben for photo.. I rest my case.
@@roslihamid3168 hahahaha...
lmao..its not about superior than other but guess you haven't been to China.
Sorry to say this, China is much safer than Malaysia..,one can just walk around midnight and even if you are elder, it is very safe but in Malaysia, it use to be that way but now, after 12 midnight no sane Malaysian will walk alone.
Just try go China and then you can comprehend what the China tourist is saying.
@@riezalazli Yup typical of them 😂😂
Yes! They think they r very atas but hated and dislike by many countries in reality! And really below level in our eyes, dont even know what made them think they are atas really! Their style and outfits lmao! I don't like them either!
real yakjuj makjuj species PRC
The women in the video were respectful. No racist here. But people who lived in Singapore/Malaysia know the color of the skin that stare a lot at women ahah 😂
The young chinese girls get stares...umm she's pretty right.😂
Most of it not even the locals one who stare them. Locals Indian didn't even do that. Most of it who act like never see white fair skin women, or even see women are workers from South Asia, especially those from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
Singaporean here. Yup true. But lately I noticed the migrant workers aren't staring as much as they used to. I think they have been educated. And honestly though, if these ladies are gonna wear skimpy clothes, even the women are going to look, especially the conservatives ones and they are not looks of admiration 😅
You dont say!…We Malaysian got stared at too😅…Yes we do have problems with too many migrant workers…sometimes seems like it is out of control…sorry to say that it is having negative social impact on Malaysian too..hope the current gov has a solution for this.
Reason why we have migrant workers bcus we still got many lazy malaysians. But mostly malay
Mainland Chinese men and women always talks loudly and making a scene in public area, making them catchy in the public. You dont see these kind of behaviour in Japanese and Korean tourist who are sophisticated and well mannered. Mainlander also like to look down on migrant south Asian worker thinking that they are higher class and better than them. 😅
No need to start a war.
Indeed....😅
Really?
That is an observation many observe. How is stating the obvious starting a war? I can say Italians are loud too, but I don't see them offended about it. Chinese just need to acknowledge it.
@@ptaeiy-n2h you must be a china shill. 😂
Bangladesh group in the street, avoid them.They still looking a woman like to eat!! So alert!! Their culture unrespect each other on the public area!! So bad thing!! Out of control.
Bangladeshi are very nice people I visited Bangladesh 2 times and i feel they are excellent people never had any problem with them whatsoever. I am not sure why Malaysians don't like them
@@bluemountain19they illegally enter malaysia without permit and illegally build their own village like this was their country...yeah that' the reason
Bangladeshi turn like that after living in Malaysia
Don't assume it's their culture because your culture also have some toxic stuff too
As a male who goes to KL every year, I have to say I find it hard to believe anybody would even look at 98% of the girls interviewed.
Lol🤣
Hahaha😅
So true. I'm like 'why would anyone wants to stare and take selfie with that red girl? '
Lol
Agreed 💯%, but the interview level or judgement is as what we see.
We have daily westerners visiting Taman Negara Jerantut Pahang, we don't even care to look at them nor bother. Unless if they're lost or unable to communicate with local in English. Then some will assist depending on the language.
People only think Malaysian understand English, they don't realize that Malaysian studies all over the world including Moscow, Morocco, South Korean, Iraq, French, Germany, Belgium etc.
The Argentinian girl said she feels unsafe in KL compare to Indonesia and Vietnam don't know what she's talking about. KL is definitely a lot more safer than Jakarta, and this is coming from Indonesian. Even as a male you need to watch out and avoid certain area in Jakarta at night. The girl from China said she got stared a lot, this is weird too because there are a lot of Chinese Malaysian, why would they stare at her when Chinese are common in Malaysia. Its not like they can differentiate between Chinese Malaysian and Chinese from China.
true. jakarta is much worse at nite compare to kl. there are places in jakarta even the taxi wouldnt dare to enter.
Actually there are some differences between China Chinese and local Chinese. I'm from Singapore and I can just tell if they're from China or not. Malaysian Chinese and Singaporean Chinese are hard to tell apart appearance wise. But once they speak, we sgeans can tell 😂. I also find that China ladies dress more stylishly compared to locals, so that's probably why they get looks.
@rian4104 hi! I’m the Argentinian girl, I was talking about my experience here 😅 I was for 3 weeks traveling all over Sulawesi and didn’t feel like I felt in KL at all, but I should’ve said that to avoid any confusions

I think it is time we locals put a stop to these foreign workers. They need to behave. They are tarnishing our image. I do notice that lately they are becoming more adventurous. I keep telling locals, dont be lazy, clean up. Less dependance on them.
There are good and bad tendencies in any society but staring at foreigners or asking for selfies from them are definitely NOT Malaysian tendencies.
First Malaysia itself is a multiracial country. Second, for centuries Malaysians are used to the coming and going of various nationalities : Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Europeans (starting with the Portuguese colonisers in 1511 AD, then the Dutch and the British), plus in recent centuries immigrants from China, South Asia and neighbouring countries. Third, Malaysia receives over 20 million foreign tourist arrivals each year. Fourth, there are at least 7 million migrant workers in Malaysia (from Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia...) - equivalent to 22 percent of the country's population and 45 percent of the country's workforce.
For those four reasons, Malaysians are so used to seeing foreigners in all shapes and sizes - and skin colours. Therefore foreigners are not a novelty to us Malaysians - we don't stare at them nor ask for selfies from them. In all probability, those who do that sort of thing are the migrant workers in Malaysia.
Although the over the top Chinese lady didn't mind asking a Western person for a photo, hmmm
True sir.
Even if there is, its an isolated case.
Most of the guy staring at you is from other countries. Malaysian too busy staring at you people. China Town, too many foreign people there.
It’s my pleasure to do the interview with you

Well said sister
Chinese from China always are a bit critical, one is because they feel upper class from the rest of Asia, yet in reality they love coming here again and again.. if you don’t believe me, just go to Sunway Velocity.. it’s like little China. Sorry for being ‘critical’ also, I prefer Japanese travel. They are not that kiasu…😅
Spot ON!! yes
Yeah in Singapore the kiasu level is different like theyre quite arrogance coz they think they are rich while those who are from China they always potray negativity coz they think they are more superior than us here..more or less they are the same...

If you Google 'tourist raped in >insert country
If you ever feel unsafe always reach out to us locals. More than happy to help out. Its a community thing. Usually its the foreign workers that stares alot but they don’t cause any harm.
2nd interview series only but the standard has improved already...nice vid! BTW I think we Malaysians tend to oogle girls a lot but most of us really are not dangerous. I mean its unlikely anyone is going to get physical with you. Infact if the girl looks back at them, they get nervous 😀
Right the first girl stays in Petaling Street. 😂 She doesn't understand that PS is grey area populated by illegal immigrants and lot of junkies.
Then she walked towards Bukit Bintang, I bet she walked those alley that local ourselves dares not venture since it's populated with immigrants be it legal or illegal.
Yet if they think Malaysia is not safe, please don't visit us and remembered to tell your friends that Malaysia is not safe.
It will help us a lot, we don't need to share our subsidies on gas etc with foreigners nor our local foods demand don't drastically increase which leads to higher cost of goods.
Yearly we have to forked out at least RM 5 Biilions to 8 Billions on additional cost of subsides due to tourists influx.
Also due to tourists, local food price is more expensive. For example Jerantut my hometown food price is more expensive than neighboring district due to influx of tourists to Taman Negara. Reason, higher demand of goods
So true
betul bang. kalau kita nk foreigner yg saving buat apa kita promote tourism dekat sini. merepek betul reapondent first tu. we need quality not quantity. dorang kalau saving pakai subsidi kita dari minyak masak smpi ke petrol. anak aku nk main taman depan pon aku x bagi sorang2. stay petaling street yg aku pergi last 20 tahun lepas walaupun aku born and breed di KL. local dah lama suruh dbkl bersihkan petaling street tu.
Trust me Local Malaysia people won't suddenly ask or touch you to take pictures with them,also bukit bintang now days is crowded with foreign workers who are enjoying them selves a little to much
Does the PRC Chinese ladies realised that sometimes they talked too loudly, Malaysians even Malaysian Chinese will gave such look😅. It’s sometimes annoying especially in restaurant. Culturally, we don’t speak loudly and chaotic like PRC Chinese men & women. Other tourists and immigrants aren’t that weird. Excluding Americans perhaps 🤔
Malaysian Chinese are more refined than the mainland Chinese.
@@allegro2155 Yes very true. Culturally, not so bising juga kan. Malaysians.

And the exchange students just two days and feel unsafe (sure, I'd feel the same if I was in China for two days. The other one already one week and she was not really that worried as her friend was)
@@zuriatulmidanorazmi8459 This is what I heard from foreigners who have travelled to Malaysia, HK and China. They say Malaysian Chinese are much more refined.

Trust me, real Malaysians will NOT ask you to take selfies/photos with them(unless you're a very famous person). For the staring situation, we Malaysians are not that low to do that.
I believe this to be true
Its a valid question to ask if tourist can differentiate locals from migrant workers. unless you have stayed for an extended period, its doubtful they can. so it gives an inaccurate depiction of how Malaysian actually are.
Aku orang malaysia bagi aku yang nak ambil gamba dengan orang luar negara tu adalah foreign worker dari banglades Indonesia nepal dan lain2...kalau orang malaysia dia tak kisahkan orang luar pun...

Ben. This was an interesting video in general. But why did you choose mostly girls that thought they are 10's but in reality a 5? Of course this would be their attitude. Is this video about how safe KL is or about the self entitled/important attitude of this generation coming up? I visit KL whenever I can and I ❤it like a second home. I know it's safer than most countries. So, I won't stay quiet if I see these BS attitudes. I feel the solution is very simple - DON'T KEEP COMING BACK!
As a Malaysian guy, I can explain. It's normal for men to glance at women because we might find your outfit attractive, think you're unique, or simply be curious. However, we are mostly looking with appreciation. I also understand that women may feel scared, but as long as you avoid places with very few people, everything should be fine.
As a Malaysian myself, I would say that for the most part, the everyday, average Malaysian is respectful of personal space and are hesitant to openly stare. We are a friendly lot, yes, but there's also a sense of bashfulness or even self consciousness. Some Malaysians do stare, especially those who aren't used to meeting foreigners, but those tend to be in the minority.
As much as I hate to stereotype, a lot of migrants do tend to stare and unashamedly ask for selfies or take your photo from far without asking. Maybe it's normal in their culture and they don't think it's wrong to stare. Any Malaysian can tell who is a migrant, not just by looking, but by their mannerisms. Unfortunately not foreign tourists, and it's sad they feel uncomfortable.
As a female, when I was a teenager, I hated walking past migrant workers because their eyes will follow you but thank God there weren't any camera phones back then.
But with that said, I hope this does not make people think it's okay to treat migrants badly or make it an excuse to dehumanise them.
Keep it up bro! I am amazed at your choice of shooting angles lol. Kudos in choosing the right spot to get the overcast lighting and not have the scorching sun in the subjects face👍

As a woman in Malaysia, your sense of security comes from how much clothing you wear.
Yes this is true. I think women should be able to wear anything they want, but they do need to understand that certain clothing styles will come at the price of men staring, that’s just it how goes.
Nice content Ben.. althought non of them ladies tourist were attacked before. Cannot help with they feeling of unsafe.
As a Malaysian I want to say we do not simply ask to take photo with stranger its not the culture or habits for most Malaysian. LOL
Yea I wouldn’t imagine Malaysians doing this honestly
Interesting interviews. As a Malaysian, the mix responses from the ladies actually sums up the situation in Malaysia. Where you go, the time you are out do play a part.
nice content, good job ben
broski, your content quality is increasing day by day not gonna lie
How can you blame us Malaysians. When thousands of migrants are lurking around. Get your facts right.
Love these street interviews mate, keep doing them! ✌
Malaysia is a kindness country bro😊
I agree
Yes! Malaysia is a safe place for foreigners generally except on occasions don't wander off the street (roads) where your luxury items like hand bags, gold jewellery (neck & wrist) snatching motorists theft and luxury watches like rolex (safe in indoor malls & buildings).
Yea this is spot on
Not a single Malaysian will ask to take a photo with the Chinese lady in red or anyone else except if they are celebrities 😎
Nice one again 😊By the way, If I were you Ben I would consider deleting comments that are rude towards your interviewees. They don't deserve to read negative comments about themselves as they just said yes when you asked for an interview...
Wow, you garnered 34k views 🎉. Well done!
Thanks! Yea this one seemed quite popular 😀
good job Ben..maybe new tourists find it helpful to know places..or popular locations etc to visit..haha
foreign workers in Malaysia like to staring at people and give a bad view for Malaysia..as a Malaysian I don't like this But I can't do anything about this😤 I want to say that there are a lot of foreign workers in Malaysia (ATTENTION)
Here we can see that woman who dress modest feel safer. 😅
Her: A lot people ask to take photo with me
Him: You also ask to take photo with me
😅
Anyway, a lot people keep commenting if its local men or overseas men stares, eventhough the statisic maybe more on oversea men but local men are normal human as well so its normal they will stare too. Local men that has less fulfilling days/life is also normal to stare just like when you are full after a meal, you less likely to look/stare/shop for more food than when you are hungry.
Old KL area Pudu, Chinatown, Jalan Alor, Bukit bintang, little India are full of foreign workers and illegal migrant workers.
chow kit road also...
Malaysia is Safe! Police roaming around the streets. Anyway, Malaysian will not ask a photo with you. That is foreigner working in Malaysia. So yeah, as a tourist, you have to identify which is foreigner & which is Malaysian.
as a Malaysian, we don’t actually walk. We only walk to our parking lot. 😂 for tourist just call grab car. It’s cheap
Very true! 😂
I believe your interviews are fair and important for the Malaysian authorities to improve on various issues. One of it would be safety. I do believe that real Malaysians don't really stare at foreigners. Usually the migrants might stare a fair bit, usually the people sleeping on the streets aren't Malaysians, usually.
Tbh the question of feeling safe can be subjective. People usually let their guard down when in their own country or hometown because they’ve grown accustomed to it and naturally heightened their guard up when travelling.
Good job Ben..
Interesting topic you have here. Well, their opinions are subjective anyway. As long as they don't go to shady & creepy areas it should be ok. Good job Ben.👍
Thanks!
As a Malaysian, i'll be honest.. In KL there are alot of places that make me feels unsafe.
As long you wear modestly it will avoid yourself being 'lured' by man's eyes.
Actually you have a talent as an interviewer … very nice interview 😊
Ben is our man on the street. You have come up with a great gimmick to meet women.😁
That's fantastic to hear. There is no site in Malaysia that is completely safe, especially for women travelers. Simply be alert wherever you go. The only place a woman will feel safe is when she is surrounded by women, which is a natural emotion for all women. My advice: don't walk alone.😊
Interesting topic ❤
Malaysia is a relatively safe country compared to 20 40 years ago. Most Malaysian men respect women. But we do have immigrants who like to stare at women. Our men are protective and not happy to see these immigrants staring at us and we’re quite serious when it comes to sex offenders.
But like any country, just be street wise, be aware of the surroundings and don’t walk alone late at night in certain areas. I’m Malaysian that lived in Japan for 13 years, but still had to be careful whenever I go. While it is known as one of the safest countries, opportunity crime does happen. When I came back to Malaysia, I feel Malaysia is comparatively safe if not less.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BEN! YOU’RE DOING GREAT. IGNORE THE BIGOTS.
Although Malaysia has topped the ranks in being the most loved country in Asia by Insider Monkey in 2024, beating other popular tourist destinations such as Thailand and Japan and South Korea. Sadly, public safety especially in Kuala Lumpur is not as ideal as Singapore.
Even Malaysians are very unhappy with the illegal migrant issue in the country. Getting from bad to worse. Funny things happened in the previous governments that allowed this mass entry that I won't discuss about. But even now, they do raids for show. Next day, they're back setting up shop again. We can guess how so.
the 2nd interview with ladies from china mainland haha.. what can u wish from them, just two days arrived yet feel unsafe although around so many local chinese, ops even local chinese doesn't like them too.
For the girl in the red dress, as local, why on earth do we want to take photos with you? We have enough chinese, if i want a photo with amoi, i just take it with my colleague. 😂
You’re right about the staring part. In Malaysia, staring is considered rude unless something is seriously wrong or interesting. I’ve noticed people from Bangladesh, Nepal, or Pakistan tend to stare more openly. When I asked a bangladeshi friend why, he said it's normal for men to stare at women. I told him it’s rude and offensive here, and he didn’t know! 😂
Thanks you all ❤️❤️❤️
10:05 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA see. When lady did it, it 'safe' but when man did it, it 'unsafe' 😂😂
I am local Malaysian Chinese , my suggestion is u have to look fierce or have a poker face when the foreign worker stare at u. 😂😂😂 even i wear normal shirt and pant, they will still stare at u. Its kinda weird
Yalo, dalu u know lah like to make propaganda and always feels that only her skin the most pretty glow one
real locals will make u safer… those creeps immigrant workers (mostly illegals) are the ones u need to be worried about. this is why i never liked KL (as a Malaysian myself).. i felt like a foreigner in my own capital city.. my advice, avoid those areas with lots of foreign workers (not all are bad, some are legit working in M’sia).. u go to other States, other cities..u’ll see the culture, environments are totally different than KL…
The stares are from migrants and not Malaysians.
