Skye, You've only been in Peninsula Malaysia, as you can recognize the 3 distinct races. On the Island of Borneo, the other two Malaysian territories of Sabah and Sarawak have much more diverse ethnicity. You have a variety of races more in proportion to the Malays, Chinese and Indians over there. The Kadazans, Dusuns, Ibans, Dayaks and a host of other ethnicities make up the majority of people in Sabah and Sarawak. Hop over to Sabah & Sarawak and be amazed with nature, the flora and fauna, lovely beaches, islands, and the food and culture of the people.
Hai. Skye do visit Sarawak during Harvest Festival in June. All the Dayak Natives will celebrate the Hari Gawai Dayak 1st June.Experience our Life style in d long House, the food n other Activities....
But , not 50/50 because 👇 (RACES IN MALAYSIA ) MALAYS = 62% CHINESE = 23% OTHERS BUMI = 11% INDIAN = 6.8 % more than half of population are malays . Especially in Malaysia peninsular . Only in Penang , Non malays are majority
1. Fork and spoon Yeah, that's the main tableware we are using, since our main food is rice, use a spoon is easier to take them to for us to eat, and also we can use it to get some soup when we feel thirsty. Of course we still can use fork to roll the noodles like spaghetti and put them on a spoon, or a pair of chopsticks if you learned that how to use. 2. Uncle/Aunt/Sis The first two that we are using to call a elders than selves, and 'sis' I think it's the translated from 'kakak', it's did feels fun and also I feel it's more cozy than using 'Cik (eng is Miss)', like using 'bro (abang/bang in Malay)' will make us feels more closer than 'Mr.' 5. Thank you Possibly it's at the time when purchase or having a meal in someplace You say thank you because you received your food or items, and the other says thank you because you choose their stall and make a paid, it's even didn't included that you shot the video and promote their stalls. 6. Air conditioners Because we are afraid hot, lol
I've been to Malaysia 5 times which includes the 2/3 days stopover in KL to get to other destinations in Malaysia and I'm British born and bred of Pakistani Muslim origin so I can relate to both sides. I know we use knife and fork in the UK but Islamically I always use the right hand to eat as we see the left hand as unclean but when I was younger I did use the knife and fork in the British way. However, what I do now is cut the food with the knife and fork (right and left respectively as in a typical British way), then hold the fork in the right hand for eating. And yes we do use the spoon for the right hand for soups and desserts. Fridays in predominantly Muslim countries is basically like Sundays here in the UK. Regarding sis (sister), uncle, auntie, brother (bro), it is more of a respect/cultural thing especially in Asia in particular in Muslim countries. I do it all the time in the UK with my fellow Muslim sisters and brothers (and their parents calling them aunties and uncles)
I am from Singapore. The Chinese foods are not spicy such as the Hainanese chicken rice, duck rice, many types of noodles, mixed rice etc and also the Japanese sushi and Korean foods. The Maggi noodles have a non spicy chicken flavor but if you go to a Malay restaurant, they will use Maggi noodles with curry flavor or asam laksa flavor which are still spicy. For Malays and Indians , they usually use hands to eat but for the Chinese, they will use spoon to scope the rice and a fork to pick up the meat and vegetables but for noodles they will use a chopstick. In a steak restaurant such as the Ship, a fork and knife will be provided since it is a Western restaurant. Friday is prayer day for the Muslims and so the extra time is given to the government offices for the Muslims to pray but the non Muslim shops and the local banks will follow the usual lunch time break like any other days. The air conditioners in the malls and offices are centralized and are always in full blast and cannot be controlled unless you are in a private shop which has an individual aircond . I used to visit my relatives in Malaysia and I hope I have got the points right. Enjoy yourself in KL. Cheers!
another culture shock regarding word thank you is, when you buy something, you said thank you to the cashier and cashier also reply thank you back to you.. have you notice that? hehehe
Interesting take from your perspective! Maybe could do a short reel of comparison between Malaysia Vs British habits, attitude or even the vocabs. Again can't wait to watch your next content, have a great day lovely!
About the "Thank you" part, personally I think we say "you're welcome" (or thank you back again in most cases) despite you not doing anything is a sign of respect to your response or demeanor. It's like saying "No problem. Still, thank you for the kind response". And it's generally rude if you don't respond. In the case that you're in a rush or not even slightly interested you just use the power of your hand or shake your head and smile. Sometimes there's even a very miniscule bow like the Japanese but maybe that's just me. I never realised it at first but I guess it is just ingrained in the culture.
I honestly recommened you go to Tioman Island if you haven't yet. Its a very beautiful beach and my family and i went there for vacation in 2020 and its was definetly worth it. The water is so clear and there is quite a bunch or activities like, snorkelling\turtle hatching\scuba diving etc. The restaurants are quite good. You can get a little villa ( i think that is what its called) right in front of the beach and its would be a great place to relax and take memorable photos.
Sis, brother,auntie or uncle are generic names Malaysian use to address people with respect. We show it by relating them as family. Malaysians do regard themselves as part of a big family. They will use a slightly specific names to address their own relatives by adding nicknames after the generic name "Sis,brother,auntie or uncle". eg. Uncle wong, Auntie mary. etc,etc.
When you are offered something to try, and you say, "No thank you." and the reply is, "You're welcome.", this is because you replied in a polite manner and sounded like, "No, thank you." They actually say "Welcome" to your "Thank you." As for the 'sis, uncle and aunty' thingy, it's generally used to address someone whose name you don't know. It's a cultural honorific commonly used for addressing strangers or even those you know. 'Uncle and aunty for someone older than you and 'sis', generally for around the same or younger age.
Another one that you will notice also is when you say thank you, the other person will say thank you as well. I expected them to say "You're welcome!" instead of another "Thank you!". Hahaha.
Hi Mrs. I am Adam from Indonesia and I am a reaction creator. many of my followers asked me to see this video. so I want to ask permission to react to this video. Can i? Tq so much Mrs 😊
Usually, in Malaysia, the locals would address an ederly an aunt or uncle even having no relations whatsoever. A practice that made us close to one another, regardless of race or creed. On a side note, whether you believe it or not, we are the children of Adam(pbuh) after all despite our differences.
I hope those who call strangers uncles and aunties are aware that they can cause offence to them.Most do not like to be called this way as this connotes that they are old.Some even use this term on people who are similar in age to them!The better way is to address them as Sir and Madam .
@@mohdhafiz9955 wow,I am sure many Malaysians are not as intolerant of different views as you are !Why not check with Malaysians whether they like to be called uncles and aunties?There was even an article in the newspaper written by a famous female columnist who wrote about her discomfort being called aunty when she felt she was still young to be referred that way.Did you chase her out of the country?lol!
Anyway sis.. Malaysia is truly Asia, tq for your comment coz that Malaysian it is and hope u will not regret to come again here with a varieties of culture diversity that can make u enjoy completly. Tq again😊
Ok.. Many Malaysian visitors do comment on our super cold aircon. My guess, we Malaysian loves spicy foods so much and many of our food has so much spices that our body carries extra heat. Thats why we need those extra cold aircons 😅
You are very correct abt airconditioning - its super cold in theatre, busses, taxi, train and almost every where. Maybe we malaysian should learn how to use energy wisely eventhough the cost of fuel & electricity is much cheaper compared to othe countries.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are funny and cute as well... Thank you for this and Malaysian love it so much. 60%of Malaysian follow every youtuber that makes video in malaysia. Chill out and relax....
Fellow Brit here! Thanks for the informative video. I'm thinking of moving to Malaysia as well, I was just wondering how you support yourself financially as I've seen that the local salary doesn't appear to be very high, so is RUclips your primary source?
A customer can request less spicy "Kurang Pedas" on fried food. Also, if you want, ask for more Chicken (Ayam) or Beef (Daging). Ask if the gravy like curry, or sambal "chili paste" from Nasi Lemak is spicy for you - you can request to put in separate small bowl or small plate. From there you can customize yourself how to mixed with your ordered Food. Similar, when ordering local burger from Ramly Burger stall - you can request less chili or hot sauce and add more tomato sauce (ketchup). Hot Drinks or Cold Drinks - you can request less sweet "Kurang Manis" so that the sweetness of your drink is less. Plain Warm Water "Air Suam." Plain Ais Water "Ais Kosong." Plain Hot Water "Air Panas Kosong." Less Vegetables "Kurang Sayur;" more vegertables "Tambah Sayur."
To united trully make malaysian stronger in relationships, better in food, tolerance towards each other and respect, varieties in culture and so on, so on in better ways
Uncle or auntie for someone older than us & bro/brother or sis ( malay language uncle-pakcik, auntie- makcik, brother- abang, sis- kakak & someone younger called adik ) for someone same age or younger that’s how us Malaysian called someone without mentioning name ( because some culture from other races in Malaysia that was rude if younger person call older people with name especially our relative ) Malaysian just called uncle/aut/bro or brother/sis with love 💕❤️ from our heart or respect someone we know or stranger. If someone called u sis that mean they love u
If you do not know the name of a person. It is more polite to call him or her uncle or auntie if you think they are older than or brother or sister if you think they are of closer age to you. It is more polite. It is less polite to ask a person name unless introduces he or her themselves. ,
Yup, you are right we like to blast our air cond to the minimum. its because outside is so hot. You know what when i was in temperate countries for holiday i am used to cold weather already. ✌️
Haha..stay a lil bit longer Skye and you will get use to it. Yes..Alana slowly did. All those special things make Malaysia unforgetable to any foreigners and travellers who touched down here once in their lifetime. Scoop rice with a spoon lah..not a fork! ✌🏻😁
knife and fork suitable for steak but for rice or noodle is better fork and spoon.... you have to look from that perspective ya..... so to me its not crazy.....
There is a verse in Quran instruct us as muslim to stop all activities when there is call for afternoon prayer on friday. The verse also command us to contineu our serch for welth after ther prayer.
The aircond! Hahah. Thats something i myself as well can never tahan. Especially at the cinemas. Usually we will bring like a small blanket, or sweaters like that.
Lol i find it funny n suprising that it's something new to you that we Asians called older guy and older women uncles and auntie... we do that as a respect. But very interesting
Hi Skye Do you actually live in Malaysia amazing Are you ready for xmas done xmas shopping would it be wierd if i passed my number on love you and your Videos
I’m Malaysian and I hate spicy food. I will always order anything with NO PEDAS. Just like anything. I will seperate any sauce or Sambal in other plate if it’s need to be eaten very little, such as sambal nasi lemak.
Hi Skye.. Once you mentioned _aircond,_ i already laugh like hell.. yeahhh..we Malaysian love so much aircond dear. I am working with expatriate, so..my boss (Austrian) always asking me why the car or office feel so cold. Seems like in fridge..😂😂😂😂😂.
In foreign land things will not be as what you expected, could give u surprise and truly culture shock. #. Folk n spoon widely use in Malaysia, common. ( Only use knife in higher class restaurant when eat steak n soup spoon when drip soup). #. Call you sis as respect cos we don't know your name. Middle age call uncle/ aunty. Elderly call grandma / grandpa. #. Saftier use zebra road to do cross. Use hand is dangerous. #. Security guard only can be seen in big company security area, from mid range apartment condo/ apartment area, shopping mall only. #. We say Thank you is a courtesy. #. Where food is concern is endless. Ranging from spicy to non spicy, non Halah to Halah, Chinese, Indian, Western, Fusion , etc..,eat till you put on weight. #. No, air condition is not that cold . #. Prayer on Friday is for Muslim , govt dept close from 12.15 to 2.30 pm #. .Malaysia population almost 34 million by now. Races are Malay, Chinese, Indian, and other minor races ( Orang Asli, Sabahan Sarawakian ) Malaysia national language is Bahasa Malaysia. English is spoken & understood.
1) Use hand for slippery/difficult food, 2) Nicer and more bonding 3) Required by insurance companies 4) We respect pedestrians, except at high speed road 5) Standard reply and customer service 6) Air-cond in Malaysia is designed to provide more cooling and more powerful, as compared to other countries 7) Friday is "Fried" day, tired day of the week; there are 7 or 8 points?
That aircon bit, reminded me when my mate Jez (from old Blighty) came over some years ago and stayed with us for 2 weeks. During the first night, worried that Jez was going to feel hot and muggy, I set the aircon in the guest room at a reasonable 20 degrees C. He woke up an hour later and knocked on my door, saying that it's flippin' cold ! 😂
Chinese Malaysians do use the chopstick-spoon combo here... usually when we eat noodle dishes (chopsticks on the right and spoon on the left) some of us also use it for rice when it is served in bowls (chopsticks in right hand while holding the bowl using the left hand)
for the "calling everyone family" thing, generally: if younger or around same age group (plus/minus 10 years age) then sis/bro if older (near your own parent's age group plus/minus 10 years) then aunt/uncle in rare cases, if the person is really elderly (your own grandparents' age, elders in their 80s/90s) then grandpa/granny
saying "you're welcome" to any "thank you" is just a reflex for us... better safe than sorry it kind of ties back to the "calling everyone family" thing... we are conditioned since young to be respectful and polite almost all of us have experienced getting strict "reminders" of the "quickly greet brother/sister/uncle/aunty/grandpa/granny! don't be rude!" and the "people said thank you, quickly respond to them!" by our parents and older family members when we were young, so it kind of became reflex... because the "reminder" will quickly turn into a full-on chastising if our elders have to repeat it again XD
Uncle, Auntie, Sis, Bro Are direct translation of respected address to elders, unknown or unrelated person. We call older person as Pakcik (Uncle), Makcik (Auntie), Kakak or adik (Sister, younger sister, younger brother), Abang (Big Brother) even though we have no relation with them. It's rude or unappropriate to address elders by name

I am Malaysian who don’t eat spicy food and never had problems finding non-spicy predominantly Chinese food. Where are you getting your food?
Beautiful Malaysia
Indeed 🫶🏻
Friday prayer is usually executed by men. Women are still around in the office or stalls. However, you can eat indian or chinese food.
..or probably they are 'in between' 😂
We pray everyday (5 times) but for fridays, we have additional prayer particularly for the men.

Terima kasih Sis...awak hebat giler
The power of hand, works everywhere, everything~
calling sis/aunt/uncle is the way of respect .....
Uncle or auntie for someone older than us & bro/brother or sis ( malay language uncle-pakcik, auntie- makcik, brother- abang, sis- kakak & someone younger called adik ) for someone same age or younger that’s how us Malaysian called someone without mentioning name ( because some culture from other races in Malaysia that was rude if younger person call older people with name especially our relative ) Malaysian just called uncle/aut/bro or brother/sis with love 💕❤️ from our heart or respect someone we know or stranger. If someone called u sis that mean they love u
"POWER OF THE HAND" we learned it from Arnold.
Skye am stopping over for 4 days in Malaysia, was wanting to see major attractions and sites etc, also night life can you reccomend anything for me??
The Friday atmosphere one is really true because of Friday prayer, last day of work day and excitement of weekend
If you do not know the name of a person. It is more polite to call him or her uncle or auntie if you think they are older than or brother or sister if you think they are of closer age to you. It is more polite. It is less polite to ask a person name unless introduces he or her themselves.
,
I don't know if it only me who hates aircond in Malaysia. It's too cold 🥶🥶🥶. Escpecially in Cinema and Coffee Shop
Some of the spanish speaking immigrants to the USA call older women mamamita - I love it.
Yup, you are right we like to blast our air cond to the minimum. its because outside is so hot. You know what when i was in temperate countries for holiday i am used to cold weather already. ✌️
😂😁
Haha..stay a lil bit longer Skye and you will get use to it. Yes..Alana slowly did.
All those special things make Malaysia unforgetable to any foreigners and travellers who touched down here once in their lifetime.
Scoop rice with a spoon lah..not a fork! ✌🏻😁
Not all Malaysian residenceseat spicy food. But majority is like spicy food. Lot of Malaysian chinese food is not spicy
6:20 I LOVE heat and humidity so I feel your pain.
knife and fork suitable for steak but for rice or noodle is better fork and spoon.... you have to look from that perspective ya..... so to me its not crazy.....
1:21 NOT WITH HAND ,,, BUT FINGERS (RIGHT HAND) .... if ur palm touch or gets da food.. its considerd fail....
Love your comment sis..😉
Tq sis...
There is a verse in Quran instruct us as muslim to stop all activities when there is call for afternoon prayer on friday. The verse also command us to contineu our serch for welth after ther prayer.
Air con is warm at TRX Mall, I literally sweat 😆
about the Aircond u can try go to any Family Mart Shop....sooo cold, haahaaa
The aircond! Hahah. Thats something i myself as well can never tahan. Especially at the cinemas. Usually we will bring like a small blanket, or sweaters like that.
Lol i find it funny n suprising that it's something new to you that we Asians called older guy and older women uncles and auntie... we do that as a respect. But very interesting
Hi Skye Do you actually live in Malaysia amazing Are you ready for xmas done xmas shopping would it be wierd if i passed my number on love you and your Videos
I’m Malaysian and I hate spicy food. I will always order anything with NO PEDAS. Just like anything. I will seperate any sauce or Sambal in other plate if it’s need to be eaten very little, such as sambal nasi lemak.
Malaysia LOVE YOU
How about you try to order drink " teh ais bungkus"..
Wow, I like Ur proud sedap gila, nice in my ear
SO TRUE! A/C in cinemas are awful! I have to bring a jacket! hahahhahahaha
Yeah the power of the hand. It works. Most of the time. But you only need to fail once. 😅
Some countries of S America, Central America use fork and spoon. It's ok and actually makes sense
Dont forget east cost of malaysia sabah and sarawak... Food to...
Not always true. I don't like spicy food.
The cinema is cold indeed
In the west, hardly see people cutting rice... Kih3
Kampung Baru is majority of a Malay Village community in the City so majority of them are Muslims and stop biznes for Friday Prayers

Hi Skye..
Once you mentioned _aircond,_ i already laugh like hell.. yeahhh..we Malaysian love so much aircond dear. I am working with expatriate, so..my boss (Austrian) always asking me why the car or office feel so cold. Seems like in fridge..😂😂😂😂😂.
Merry Christmas! And best wishes for 2023.
Yeahh, we pray every friday. All Muslim in Malaysia. Not just in KL. 🙂
In foreign land things will not be as what you expected, could give u surprise and truly culture shock.
#. Folk n spoon widely use in Malaysia, common. ( Only use knife in higher class restaurant when eat steak n soup spoon when drip soup).
#. Call you sis as respect cos we don't know your name. Middle age call uncle/ aunty. Elderly call grandma / grandpa.
#. Saftier use zebra road to do cross. Use hand is dangerous.
#. Security guard only can be seen in big company security area, from mid range apartment condo/ apartment area, shopping mall only.
#. We say Thank you is a courtesy.

Haha.That sis ,aunt ,or uncle is for respect.always respect your elders
I had stares when I ate Nasi lemak in London with my hands but I’m paying £15 for my food I’m eating it my way…
Skye are you in England right now? Can you do some vlog at your hometown... i'm sure its interesting to watch for your subscribers 😁🙏
Fried rice won't work with fork n knife 🤣👌
Aunty uncle sis bro is show of repects
Yes true! Love it 🥰 thank you!
1) Use hand for slippery/difficult food, 2) Nicer and more bonding 3) Required by insurance companies 4) We respect pedestrians, except at high speed road 5) Standard reply and customer service 6) Air-cond in Malaysia is designed to provide more cooling and more powerful, as compared to other countries 7) Friday is "Fried" day, tired day of the week; there are 7 or 8 points?
That aircon bit, reminded me when my mate Jez (from old Blighty) came over some years ago and stayed with us for 2 weeks. During the first night, worried that Jez was going to feel hot and muggy, I set the aircon in the guest room at a reasonable 20 degrees C. He woke up an hour later and knocked on my door, saying that it's flippin' cold ! 😂
I can relate to this - When in Rome, do as the Romans do 😅… Anyway, thank you… Welcome to bolehland
not recommend use power of hand.. there can be driver not familiar.
Chinese Malaysians do use the chopstick-spoon combo here... usually when we eat noodle dishes (chopsticks on the right and spoon on the left)
some of us also use it for rice when it is served in bowls (chopsticks in right hand while holding the bowl using the left hand)
for the "calling everyone family" thing, generally:
if younger or around same age group (plus/minus 10 years age) then sis/bro
if older (near your own parent's age group plus/minus 10 years) then aunt/uncle
in rare cases, if the person is really elderly (your own grandparents' age, elders in their 80s/90s) then grandpa/granny
saying "you're welcome" to any "thank you" is just a reflex for us... better safe than sorry
it kind of ties back to the "calling everyone family" thing... we are conditioned since young to be respectful and polite
almost all of us have experienced getting strict "reminders" of the "quickly greet brother/sister/uncle/aunty/grandpa/granny! don't be rude!" and the "people said thank you, quickly respond to them!" by our parents and older family members when we were young, so it kind of became reflex... because the "reminder" will quickly turn into a full-on chastising if our elders have to repeat it again XD
Uncle, Auntie, Sis, Bro
Are direct translation of respected address to elders, unknown or unrelated person. We call older person as Pakcik (Uncle), Makcik (Auntie), Kakak or adik (Sister, younger sister, younger brother), Abang (Big Brother) even though we have no relation with them. It's rude or unappropriate to address elders by name
Hey. Malaysian love Cold weather unfortunately We are in hot climate. Anyway welcome to Malaysia.
