Thank you so much for sharing a wonderful doco. Thank you.
A massive Respect for Malaysia and Malay Culture.
It really was a beautiful doco.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍
Nice documentary.
Reminds me of student life when I was studying in KL.
Anyway, the documentary mentions that young Malays cannot find work.
This is factually incorrect as far as I know because in Malaysia they are mostly operating near full employment levels, and there is a policy which provided Malaysians with a guaranteed monthly salary, in the private sector, aka minimum wage.
The problem with the Malaysian economy is related to underemployment (low wages). This model of low wages, controlled trade union activism, and low inflation has helped the industrialization and transformation of the Malaysian Economy.
Today, Malaysia is one of the largest exporters of not just agricultural commodities, but, also medium to high-tech valued-added capital goods, intermediate goods, and other consumer electronics, air-conditioners, etc. Most of this investment poured into the country during the 1980s when DR M was leading this nation and extending invitations to invest to Japanese Businesses.
The overvalued Japanese Yen led to the relocation of factories to Malaysia, and that boosted exports, manufacturing, and the Real GDP growth rate.
The Islamic Finance Industry in Malaysia is a torch bearer and standard setter for the entire Moslem Ummah. Most of the students from OIC Nations travel to Malaysia to study Islamic Banking.
Also, tourism before COVID-19 was a major provider of employment and source of forex earnings.
So, the Malaysian Economic Growth and Development Path can be described as Organic compared to some other countries in Central Asia, or the GCC, where they have transplanted buildings and shopping malls with fossil fuel resource earnings such as oil and gas.
Compare to some glitzy Middle Eastern Urban Spaces with KL, the latter stands out as a more organic, properly planned, well-thought-out city, with a complex but nevertheless creative emergent ecosystem, enjoying evolutionary stable diversity, alongside the regional wealth agglomeration benefits, among its varying ethnic/racial classes.
Informative write-up & very interesting story telling. 👍👍👍👍
Hey,
I was born in Germany and originally from morocco but i feel like half malaysian. I loove the country, there people and of course KL.

Thanks for that docu.
Stellar account.
What interesting is this video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Kuala Lumpur was built by Yap Ah Loy, the third Chinese Capitan in the state of Selangor. Originally Chinese Hakka cities later it absorb Malay villages surrounding it becoming Malay majority.
I was told by my dark skin Malay history teacher that the Malays originally migrated from Xinjiang, I was very puzzled back then in junior high school. I think it made sense... I see the resembling
Abdullah Hukum founder of KL 😎
It's capitan yap ah loy
@@francisd3740 , Sutan Puasa is the founder of Kuala Lumpur. Yap Ah Loy is the person who rebuild the business area in Kuala Lumpur after big fire tragedy. Please get your fact right
@@suffianismail9578 maybe sultan puasa have some influence. But who is responsible for the industrial and mining industry in Kuala lumpur. That's economic development plays the main role for the cities development from a small village to a big town back then. The same thing happens in all states in malaysia. Go check out who build the first structures in malaysia. It must be some Chinese business man in taiping, ipoh, kl ,Melaka, penang coz most business were control by the Chinese and the British. They have the capabilities to build.
@@francisd3740 , you're right, luckily the Brits biased to Chinese immigrants to change the social demographic in their colonialists land. It's happened around the globe. They are so lucky.
@@suffianismail9578 how the British is biased? The Chinese business man from mainland have money to invest. Even the British don't have money. They invest on the mining industry and developed Malaya. Not only in Malaya but the rest of the south east countries. You can see theirs influence in developing a city.
I was expecting an Indian person to be interviewed in this docu, but you've disappointed me. Or maybe it just impossible to capture Malaysia's beauty in a single video.. hahahaaha
