Whenever a foreigner said that they love travelling in Malaysia as Malaysia is the best place to get cheap and variety of foods, the people are kind and welcoming, it's where you can enjoy urban living and explore the nature, the transportation is cheap and quality and the accommodations are cheap and beautiful, for Muslims its super easy to find prayer room and surau to pray and eat halal. I always thought to myself, I wish I can find a country like that to travel to... And I'm Like, "Heck, I'm living in one, I'm so so grateful to my Lord for giving me this blessful country I called Home".. Alhamdulillah
i live in malaysia so far im failed to find a job ot less than an hour, work time always stretch up to 16 to 20 hours, and the earning i get only 1.1to 1.6k a month lol what a life
I'm malaysian n still working in japan. And, i can see how the stressful environment adapt in their society. Like I always have to adapt on that environment. Cant wait to back to homeland
My cousin graduate kat Jepun, balik Msia keje di company jepun. He said very stressful keje dgn bos2 jepun ni. Last 2 years kena serang minor heart attack. So he decided utk early retirement sbb dah umur 50. Gaji mmg besar tp dia punye stress pun besar jugak! 😬
I live in a small town in Johor and I feel so stressful when I have to go to KL. I cannot imagine how stressful living in Japan when you said living in KL is so laid back.
Stress dari segi financial. Kalau mcm aki ni rase gaji kurang 20-30k kot. More than average salary utk orang local. Aku kalau gaji besar pun tak stress duduk kL.
@@Dark_Levo00 aku gaji 100k kat KL pon tetap stress. well, maybe dah sedap hidup kampung, jalan tak jem, nak g beli makanan menapak je, rumah atas tanah ekar, udara segar, internet laju. nak shopping g JB je. so i still stress kalau kene tinggal kat KL.
Hidawari 93 this phrase is actually a reality in Japan. that's why their costumer service is very tiptop and never bad.. the costumer service in Malaysia is nothing like Japan to be honest. I'm currently living in Japan and I hope this kind of service could be real in Malaysia as well, but only from this video that I knew this kind of phrase existed and it actually causes stress among the workers.
@@marhazahiyah1628 being a cosplayer in Malaysia is a bit stress cuz its hard to be a good cosplayer. you need to buy costume, staff, props everything cost money so its a bit stress. so thats why "costumer are always right" because they deserve it, these costumer really work hard on cosplaying so cheer for them. besides all the costumer here in malaysia are very kind and cool people. so please dont hate costumer in Malaysia, we know we're not that great yet at cosplaying, but we're working on it. on the other hand if u wanna hate on our customer service in malaysia then feel free to. the customer service in Malaysia is really bad lol
Well, in terms of overtime, maybe not as rampant as in Japan, but in Malaysia it also depends on which industry you worked in... industries such as audit, investment banking, etc, people still need to work OT and during weekend or public holidays as and when needed. On the other hand, I think efficiency is something Malaysian need to improve on. We are not thaaatttt bad but could have been much better... so pls don't "praise" on the inefficiency in Malaysia. 🤣
Seng Tat Ng Jesus I have relatives working as auditors and holy shit life was tough, you really have to make a sacrifice and just bear with it till you’re certified. Yea from what I’ve heard investment banking is much more stressful than commercial
Yes the working stress might from different industry but one thing for sure, is the social norms and social culture is adding extra redundant stress and pressure to worklife. Do u know that in japan and some other countries, if you are back home early you will be shunned by society as being "lazy".
I wonder then how do the Germans do it? I mean they're very productive bunch of people but i hear their lifestyle isn't as stressful as say the Korean/Japanese.
As a malaysian, I'm so grateful that it is not a must for us to drink in every occasion, not like china where people force you to drink, in Korea even uni students have to drink with their seniors to blend in, but in malaysia, we can just loudly say i don't drink, and no one will force you. This is great!
luckily we are a multiracial country haha. we are all raised to be sensitive about each other's culture. most people tend to be very respectful as a result
When I was young, i always feel living outside Malaysia so much better due to movies and tv series influence. But my 1st time overseas vacation to US, open my eyes how grateful I am to be living in Malaysia. But I still love to travel to see other world with my kids and the more I travel the more I appreciated my country. Especially on healthcare services. So when my husband been offered to work outside the country, I was reluctant. Lucky the paid wasn't that great, we decide to refuse the offer. Of course there's pros & cons but the scale still heavier on pros.
I'm a Malaysian student here in US, and I agree that living here makes me more grateful on how wonderful it is living in Malaysia more rather than here.
Glad to hear that you are getting healthy living in Malaysia but do take care of what you eat bro, don't eat too much. Malaysian are quite laid back because of the open interaction with others for example "Rileks la bro" or they like hanging out together "lepak" after a day of work like having a Teh Tarik Session with your friends. Overtime basically based on what industries you are in whether they have enough man power like retailers. For fashion, most goes for artists but for common people they prefer what comfortable to them. They don't gawked when seeing a person wearing fashionable cloth during the hot sunny day, probably they think the person having mental issue. As for me, I loves Japan as it is a beautiful country, high dedication people, hard working but sadly they are more workaholic and that's why they become more stressful in their life. We should learn from each other whether to become more efficient and to have balance of life.
didn't know he's working at a norm company, kept thinking he's a full time youtuber. Anyway KL city is still not considered laid back, East Malaysia is even more slow paced and stress free
Yup. It a true. KL city not that laid back. Can be quite stressful due to the traffic jam. When KL folks deal with the East Malaysia folks, they are quite laid back and very difficult to get them moving fast.
haha you thought that you are the slowest driver in KL. But you'll be schumacher when you drive in Kuching. you just realise how crazy and fast you drive in KL compared to in Kuching haha.
When i was living in the UK i get depressed whenever winter comes. I still don't understand the fascination of snow. Its cold and its wet...bleak. Whenever summer comes my heart would literally sing in joy because i could see the colours, the joy the weather brings to people and the sense of open spaces endless possibilities ...no need to stay indoors all the time. In Malaysia this is what i feel all the time
LOL I lived in US and I always long for warm dry summer days too. Malaysians don't know what they are asking for.... Snow... LOL it's a pain to deal with. Looks pretty the first winter and come the next winter, you'll come to hate snow with a passion. May look good in pictures and videos, but to live in the snow, nope...
I understand this 😣 winter sucks, it's cold and tiring. I'm always late for work due to defrosting my car every morning and clear out the front road of my house
Satu lagi bila duduk luar negara, jumlah penerimaan cahaya matahari tak sebanyak di Malaysia. Cahaya matahari tingkatkan hormon serotonin, sejenis hormon yang beri mood baik dan menjadikan manusia lebih tenang dan fokus. Bila saya study overseas, saya selalu rasa depressed dan mudah menangis. Bila autumn dan winter, rasa stress dengan perubahan masa dan waktu solat. Setiap kali musim berubah kena ubah schedule harian. Bila musim sejuk, kesejukan menyebabkan kulit kering dan pedih. Bila tiba summer, okay la cuma siang jadi terlalu panjang pulak. Bila puasa memang terasa penatnya. Nak qiyamullail pun terkejar-kejar sebab malam terlalu pendek. Waktu malaysia yang seimbang 12 jam siang 12 jam malam antara nikmat Allah bagi kepada kita. Tak perlu pening kepala pasal waktu solat. Selalu rasa tenang. Alhamdulillah. Bagi saya, untuk melancong ke luar negara memang seronok. Tapi untuk belajar dan bekerja, cabarannya berbeza.
Reading all the comments here, I can't help but realize how blessed we are to live in Malaysia. But when I go to a local Malay RUclips channel or news site like Malaysiakini and read the comments there, then I start to think I am living in hell. Moral of the story is to be positive and optimistic. Always see the glass as half full instead of half empty. Oh and stay away from all the negative news sites
Somehow this video touches me in certain ways..i'm glad that moving to malaysia have changed your perspective about life in a better way..we wish you a blissful, tranquil and joyful journey throughout your stay over here.. May you found your own self, warmth and be truly happy about it :) Because there is NO OTHER relationship than is more important THAN the one you have WITH YOURSELVES. Thats it. Period. Own who you are. Respect yourself. Then, unknowingly you will honour & respect others too. And let them 'owning' who they are too. :) Good luck!
I feel like Aki should consider learning Bahasa Malaysia after having living here for quite a while now. Another language would always be something great to add to your arsenal!!
As the saying, "the grass is always greener on the other side" we tend to always feel other places are better than ours. That is one thing that I always feel. From time to time, thoughts come to my head, telling me to quit my current job, and move away from Malaysia. But when that idea came to me, I'll watch some reviews online, and learn to love, appreciate Malaysia and think again. This is the placeI was born, grow up, and learn to be who I am now. No matter how bad it is, or how good it is, this is my own country.
You're making me want to live in Malaysia eventhough I am living in Malaysia as a native of this country 😂😂 ... Even Malaysians would learn a lot from your videos because sometimes we can't really see the true value of something unless it's gone - your videos showed us that perspective.
glad u love living in msia .. just enjoy ur life while u r alive .. hehee ... stop compare ur self with others ... always be grateful with all u have now ... btw ur bye2 sound really malaysia slang..hahaa
This video is really aspiring. Thanks Aki for sharing your experience in Malaysia. Totally agree with you. Even me myself has changed my perspective to stop comparing my life with others. I just do everything at my own pace. This is my happiness.
So glad you’re having a great time here! Have fun living here aki! you’re always welcome here :) The more I travel the world, the more I see that Malaysia is the best country to live in for me despite any cons that she has. I’ve been to Japan before and I love your country so much. The hospitality towards the foreigners was good! Plus your country is a muslim-friendly country and we really appreciate it! Thank you. Your country is full of culture and I would love to visit Japan again in the future!!
he is right, that's why sometimes if I don't feel good, I will just take medical leave. I value myself more. I to live long and live healthily and not too stress on work. Remember guys, everyone is replaceable.
hi Aki .. happy that u r having a better life now in Malaysia - hope this new life gets better for u .. take care, stay safe n have a happier life in Malaysia..
I ever worked for a Japanese company. It was a very crazy phase for me. My boss would email me at 4am in the morning cos he was still in the office and came back 4 hours later to start a new working day. GILA you know! I was almost swallowed and drowned by their stress working condition. I lasted for about 2 years. Can't forget the 40 minutes lunch time which I had to rush through the food queue and lunch. I worked like hell until I asked myself what am I chasing and working so fast for? I felt the depression was going to set in and I quickly resigned. I never regret once. Japanese working culture is really bad for one's physical and mental health. Aki, you're doing the right thing to make your life healthier, wealthier and happier! Congrats!
Congratulations Aki, glad to hear you enjoy the relaxed and laid back lifestyle. Take care and may you continue to enjoy Malaysia for as long as you want.
i love how you always share your points of view to others, that's inspiring :) keep on doing what you're doing now, i wish you a successful life in my country and happiness
Thank you for your wonderful comments about my country. Yes what you said it's true, here we refer to our seniors by name and respect each other's differences which we have all grown up with. Food is abundant here, various kinds and we are blessed with good weather the whole year long , so you can still wear the same clothes you had years ago. Welcome to Malaysia! Glad that you find Malaysia a turning point for your life
Some of your words brought tears to my eyes. You make me see things i take for granted as a Malaysian. And it is refreshing that living hear makes you healthier and more at peace with yourself. Malaysians always admire Japan and the Japanese and we often say that we should be more like you guys in terms of time keeping and work ethics but now you have given us another way of looking at our own culture. Tq for such a good video and view. Hope you have a meaningful and happy stay here. ❤️
I never been really so much satisfied as watching your video 💓 really satisfied to heard someone finally change and found their perspective of live in Malaysia
It's nice to see these kind of videos from time to time as it helps Malaysians to be grateful with what we have going on. We have a lot to improve on but we have our good moments and that's worth celebrating. While it is a bit cringy to know that Malaysians are a bit lax when it comes to their work which unfortunately translate to being perceived as being lazy but we do believe that you shouldn't die for your work so that's a good thing.
Nice to meet you Aki-san. This seems very helpful in expanding my horizons of insight of places and what not. Thank you for all your hard work. I can't wait for your next project!
Thank you Aki for sharing your heartfelt feelings about Malaysia. Even though I'm not a Malaysian but the points mentioned really speaks also but the side of Japanese culture which not everyone outside of Japan is familiar with. Appreciate your honest opinion!
Being Malaysian is something really special to me so I'm really glad you could learn more of yourself while you're here. After studying and living abroad for a while, I really appreciate Malaysia for being the way it is despite all it's big flaws so I relate a little from this video. It was really tough living in a more fast paced, first world country and the trade for my freedom wasn't worth it for me. There's always room for improvement and the problems that people experience in Japan do happen in Malaysia as well perhaps varying in degree, circumstances and context in terms of origin. But it's interesting to see how you see Malaysia and I hope that it can continue to give you better experiences. Take care!
Hi Aki, I just discovered your channel because of RUclips recommended videos and I am Malaysian. I'm happy you see Malaysia as such a wonderful country. Please continue to make Malaysia look beautiful through your lenses! Sekian terima kasih!
You talked about Malaysia very well with positive spirit. Your information and experience living in Malaysia very convincing whoever listen to this video. Proud of you and hope you continue enjoy stay and work in Malaysia. Bless you.
How irony is that malaysia people always want to change his workout culture with japanese culture but japanese people run away from it because want to feel like a human again 🤣🤣
As a Malaysian I definitely don't want the Japanese workplace culture. I love how efficient they do things and their responsible attitude, but hate the never-ending overtime culture.
Thank you so much for making this video..I'm very touched about all those things that you said about Malaysia.im grateful that Malaysia has teached you what is the true happiness.keep moving forward Aki!!!
Thumbs up on your fourth point! It's great that you've come to realisation of life that making comparisons with others constantly will make you less happy and unable to focus on the things that matter to you the most. But no doubt one should thrive to be better of who they are now without the need of changing oneself solely because of others.
Happy for you Aki. We M'sians know how to balance work and personal life so that we are not unnecessarily stressed. Most M'sians are pretty religious and it keeps us more down to earth too.
I have been living in Japan tokyo for almost 1.5years and frankly, I still miss my home country. Japan is beautiful but sometimes, as a foreigner, we became too mindful about their culture and try to conform to their lifestyle. I live in an apartment that is so tiny, cozy though but I paid a hefty price for the location near Higashi Shinjuku. Living in Japan has certainly changed my perspective in life. I am so looking forward to go back home soon!
I believe Aki has lived in both worlds and is able to appreciate the cultural and climate difference. Good to hear a different view about my country which I normally took for granted.
Tq for the compliments. All of us learnt from each other. We Malaysian has always been reminded back then by our former PM about how good Japan is. And I think that is where we started to improve. Thanks also to you Japan for giving a good example to the world! Also please if you have time come to the 'kampung' area in any state and you will be surprise how generous the people are. We always have 'kenduri' and always giving food to each other. But now corona time, we don't have that anymore.. Hope everything will comeback to normal again..
Proud malaysian here. Yes malaysia might have her own issues but no matter how many countries i visited either for business or leisure, theres no other place like malaysia. From its diverse people and culture, food, environment and places u can stay and visit throughout malaysia. Lots of things to be love and cherish about malaysia.

@You Mom is Green agree
Looking for balance between two countries is the best way i guesses.
You Mom is Green problem is most ethnic malay refuse so and that is the problem.... aku orang melayu ok
The answer is simple:
Malay and Japan should be more grateful of what they have
Who said Malaysians are too laid-back??
*We do work like Japanese!* ---- after we found out tht the deadline is less than 72 hours away.

Shee 1117 yes pls!
Yesss
you put up your hand and say
"oi you datuk punya jalan ah?"
🤣
You're making me want to live in Malaysia eventhough I am living in Malaysia as a native of this country 😂😂 ... Even Malaysians would learn a lot from your videos because sometimes we can't really see the true value of something unless it's gone - your videos showed us that perspective.
As malaysian, i would like thank you on all the compliments you mentioned before. Perhaps being modest is the begining steps in finding happines. 😊😊
glad u love living in msia .. just enjoy ur life while u r alive .. hehee ... stop compare ur self with others ... always be grateful with all u have now ... btw ur bye2 sound really malaysia slang..hahaa
Happy for you Aki 🤗. Malaysia have made you more healthier n more happier. And also more wealthier..hehe 😜
This video is really aspiring. Thanks Aki for sharing your experience in Malaysia. Totally agree with you. Even me myself has changed my perspective to stop comparing my life with others. I just do everything at my own pace. This is my happiness.
Hahahaha always wanted to live abroad but now i feel blessed to be living in my country 😂 #freedom
I live and work in Bangkok. All of your reasons make me miss home more 😂
Bye bye sound like so Malaysian slang 😃😃😃.
Ikr , sound so malaysian 😂😂
Ohh really? Hahaha I don't know that was Malaysian slang. I thought everybody use it too haha
Orang jepun pun always cakab bye bye.
So glad you’re having a great time here! Have fun living here aki! you’re always welcome here :) The more I travel the world, the more I see that Malaysia is the best country to live in for me despite any cons that she has. I’ve been to Japan before and I love your country so much. The hospitality towards the foreigners was good! Plus your country is a muslim-friendly country and we really appreciate it! Thank you. Your country is full of culture and I would love to visit Japan again in the future!!
Expats seems to love the laid back nature of malaysia
i thought australia are more laid back.
@@medunno ya ikr... But in some places like perth is just too laidback its too boring. It kinda reflected in their cuisine as well
@@medunno but higher cost of living
@@medunno Us here, laid back & cheap. Aus, laid back & expensive.
he is right, that's why sometimes if I don't feel good, I will just take medical leave. I value myself more. I to live long and live healthily and not too stress on work.
Remember guys, everyone is replaceable.
Right. Leave on time allthe time
Tq Aki. You are so honored to be here. Hope you are having a great time during the MCO in Malaysia.
hi Aki .. happy that u r having a better life now in Malaysia - hope this new life gets better for u ..
take care, stay safe n have a happier life in Malaysia..
I ever worked for a Japanese company. It was a very crazy phase for me. My boss would email me at 4am in the morning cos he was still in the office and came back 4 hours later to start a new working day. GILA you know! I was almost swallowed and drowned by their stress working condition. I lasted for about 2 years. Can't forget the 40 minutes lunch time which I had to rush through the food queue and lunch. I worked like hell until I asked myself what am I chasing and working so fast for? I felt the depression was going to set in and I quickly resigned. I never regret once. Japanese working culture is really bad for one's physical and mental health.
Aki, you're doing the right thing to make your life healthier, wealthier and happier! Congrats!
Very glad to know that you are happy in Malaysia....you are most welcome...enjoy your life and stay safe.
初めましてAkiさん。
自分は、今オーストラリアに永住してます。
結婚して7年間一緒に居るマレーシア人の嫁さんが居ます。
旅行で、2回程マレーシアに行きました。
滞在中に、自分は、マレーシアが合っているんじゃないかと思いました。
もし出来たら、マレーシアに永住したいですね。
物価も安い、海鮮類は美味しい、自由気ままで良いですよね。
Congratulations Aki, glad to hear you enjoy the relaxed and laid back lifestyle. Take care and may you continue to enjoy Malaysia for as long as you want.
beautifully said, love this video...good job Aki...I hope you will find true happiness in your life in Malaysia...
i love how you always share your points of view to others, that's inspiring :) keep on doing what you're doing now, i wish you a successful life in my country and happiness
As a Malaysian, its good to hear that you are becoming healthier. Wherever you are in this world, please stay healthy. Body, mind and your soul.
Thank you for your wonderful comments about my country. Yes what you said it's true, here we refer to our seniors by name and respect each other's differences which we have all grown up with. Food is abundant here, various kinds and we are blessed with good weather the whole year long , so you can still wear the same clothes you had years ago. Welcome to Malaysia! Glad that you find Malaysia a turning point for your life
Some of your words brought tears to my eyes. You make me see things i take for granted as a Malaysian. And it is refreshing that living hear makes you healthier and more at peace with yourself. Malaysians always admire Japan and the Japanese and we often say that we should be more like you guys in terms of time keeping and work ethics but now you have given us another way of looking at our own culture. Tq for such a good video and view. Hope you have a meaningful and happy stay here. ❤️
I love when you said about alcohol, good for you and stay healthy 😊
Aki thanks for the +ve vibe we Malaysian really appreciate it. Enjoy your life in Malaysia!
Tq Aki for having good thoughts about Malaysia. Stay healthy, stay happy & we can also learn a lot from Japan.
I never been really so much satisfied as watching your video 💓 really satisfied to heard someone finally change and found their perspective of live in Malaysia
Watching your video during MCO really makes me more grateful as a Malaysian
Thanks so much for all your positive view on Malaysia. Thats why i love Malaysia.
Glad to hear that msia had change ur life in a positive way. 👍🏻👍🏻 Good for u
Will you marry local lady? 🤣
Aki you are as Malaysian as the rest of the country, pleasure to have u here brother! keep the vids coming!
Food here are the best! Lot of variety 😊
Your last few words honestly motivate me. Thank you.
Malaysia is really truly Asia... 🇲🇾💕🤗 Selamat Datang
Very sensible person. Thanks for highlighting the many good points of Malaysia
Thanks for your good perceptions about my country and hope u always enjoy living in Malaysia.
It's nice to see these kind of videos from time to time as it helps Malaysians to be grateful with what we have going on. We have a lot to improve on but we have our good moments and that's worth celebrating.
While it is a bit cringy to know that Malaysians are a bit lax when it comes to their work which unfortunately translate to being perceived as being lazy but we do believe that you shouldn't die for your work so that's a good thing.
うちのマレーシアにめっちゃ褒めてもらってめっちゃ嬉しいわ。いいことも悪いこともマレーシアなので、これからも色んなマレーシアを楽しんでほしい！
If You Happy, I’m Happy 😊
Nice to meet you Aki-san. This seems very helpful in expanding my horizons of insight of places and what not. Thank you for all your hard work. I can't wait for your next project!
マレーシアのこといつも高評価してくれて、マレーシア人にとして私は感謝します。アキ君の動画いつも楽しんで見てます。いつかマレーシア人の本当の幸いの鍵を見つけるように私が祈ります。
Love from Malaysia. Thanks god that you enjoy staying here in Malaysia
Thanks. You made me proud and thankful as a Malaysian!
素敵ですね。一度旅行したいです
Thank you Aki for sharing your heartfelt feelings about Malaysia. Even though I'm not a Malaysian but the points mentioned really speaks also but the side of Japanese culture which not everyone outside of Japan is familiar with. Appreciate your honest opinion!
こんばんは。ここ最近移住を考えていて色々漁ってる時に動画を拝見させていただきました！
動画で言っていた外見や見栄を気にする日本人の話や仕事観の見方様々なところですごく共感させていただきました。まさに今思っている考えです。
初めましてでの質問で申し訳ないのですが、僕は今配送業で働いていて仕事で生かせるスキルも無ければ大した学歴もありません。マレーシアの会社ではどういうところが面接で見られるのでしょうか？
Being Malaysian is something really special to me so I'm really glad you could learn more of yourself while you're here. After studying and living abroad for a while, I really appreciate Malaysia for being the way it is despite all it's big flaws so I relate a little from this video. It was really tough living in a more fast paced, first world country and the trade for my freedom wasn't worth it for me. There's always room for improvement and the problems that people experience in Japan do happen in Malaysia as well perhaps varying in degree, circumstances and context in terms of origin. But it's interesting to see how you see Malaysia and I hope that it can continue to give you better experiences. Take care!
Hi Aki, I just discovered your channel because of RUclips recommended videos and I am Malaysian. I'm happy you see Malaysia as such a wonderful country. Please continue to make Malaysia look beautiful through your lenses! Sekian terima kasih!
You talked about Malaysia very well with positive spirit. Your information and experience living in Malaysia very convincing whoever listen to this video. Proud of you and hope you continue enjoy stay and work in Malaysia. Bless you.
How irony is that malaysia people always want to change his workout culture with japanese culture but japanese people run away from it because want to feel like a human again 🤣🤣
As a Malaysian I definitely don't want the Japanese workplace culture.
I love how efficient they do things and their responsible attitude, but hate the never-ending overtime culture.
Strike a balance for both sides and adopting the German way might pose as a much better option, I reckon.
Imelda Ang germans are exactly like the Japanese or worse
This kind of video that make me realize I'm so greatful I'm born in Malaysia. So, thank you ❤
Thanks for loving Malaysia 😍
Thanks for liking Malaysia. We are very easygoing and friendly to foreigner. Welcome ❤️
Glad to hear that you're more healthier and you don't get any bad stomach when u live here. Stay healthy always🥰
Nice & beautiful environment in Malaysia. Get to know more about people & their different culture, will be interesting Aki. So 👍😁
Thank you so much for making this video..I'm very touched about all those things that you said about Malaysia.im grateful that Malaysia has teached you what is the true happiness.keep moving forward Aki!!!
So happy to hear that you have room for Malaysia ♥️
Welcome to Malaysia!
Thumbs up on your fourth point! It's great that you've come to realisation of life that making comparisons with others constantly will make you less happy and unable to focus on the things that matter to you the most. But no doubt one should thrive to be better of who they are now without the need of changing oneself solely because of others.
All the best Aki. Enjoy 😊
Happy for you Aki. We M'sians know how to balance work and personal life so that we are not unnecessarily stressed. Most M'sians are pretty religious and it keeps us more down to earth too.
I love Japan, Malaysia is always following Japan, to continue the bright future. Malaysia Love Japan Forever !
I never knew Malaysia is such a wonderful country to foreigners from these 4 aspects. Thank you for sharing them.
マレーシアの生活に憧れていて、このような動画出して頂きとてもありがたいです。なにも取り柄がなく仕事などにつけるか心配です。
Thanks Aki for reminding me how I should be grateful staying in my own country. Thanks!
Thank you for your positive opinion about our country...
I have been living in Japan tokyo for almost 1.5years and frankly, I still miss my home country. Japan is beautiful but sometimes, as a foreigner, we became too mindful about their culture and try to conform to their lifestyle. I live in an apartment that is so tiny, cozy though but I paid a hefty price for the location near Higashi Shinjuku. Living in Japan has certainly changed my perspective in life. I am so looking forward to go back home soon!
I believe Aki has lived in both worlds and is able to appreciate the cultural and climate difference. Good to hear a different view about my country which I normally took for granted.
Wow.. Your video really makes me appreciating my life in my country more and more.. I love my country, and proud of being a Malaysia. Thanks, Aki
Thank you for your compliments on Malaysia.
フードパンダやグラブイートで高くても5RMなんですね！！
素晴らしい🙏✨
8年前サイバージャヤで現地就職していたのですが頃外食で10RMかかったりしてたので素晴らしいです！🙏
お金の使い方がかわるって本当に思います！
日本だとあれも欲しいこれもほしいってなるんですがなくても十分幸せなんだなって気付きました☺
また日本に戻ってるので改めて気付かされました！ありがとうございます🎶
Tq for the compliments. All of us learnt from each other. We Malaysian has always been reminded back then by our former PM about how good Japan is. And I think that is where we started to improve. Thanks also to you Japan for giving a good example to the world!
Also please if you have time come to the 'kampung' area in any state and you will be surprise how generous the people are. We always have 'kenduri' and always giving food to each other. But now corona time, we don't have that anymore.. Hope everything will comeback to normal again..
Proud malaysian here. Yes malaysia might have her own issues but no matter how many countries i visited either for business or leisure, theres no other place like malaysia. From its diverse people and culture, food, environment and places u can stay and visit throughout malaysia. Lots of things to be love and cherish about malaysia.
