Things I want to complain about Malaysia

After living in Malaysia for a period of time, many people can’t help but compare everything here with other places. It’s okay if you don’t compare. Comparing will make you mentally unbalanced, and you will have a lot of things you want to complain about. I wonder what you want to complain about Malaysia?

Below we have compiled some things that netizens want to complain about Malaysia:

1. Weather

1) The temperature is the same throughout the year, more than 30 degrees during the day. It's over 20 degrees at night, and it rains almost every day. If you don't go far, just prepare summer clothes.

2) The air conditioner is so cold that I feel like I am dying. Whether it is a long-distance bus, a bus, or an airport, if I don’t wear long sleeves, I will get sick.

3) In summer, which is 365 days a year, it is too hot to stand in the sun when the sun is shining. On nights when the sun is not shining, you can just turn on the ceiling fan at the lowest setting and fall asleep. Rain comes and goes at once, and it is more convenient to wear slippers unless necessary.

4) Tropical climate, it is summer all year round, there are many insect pests, be careful to prevent mosquitoes. If the vegetables you buy are not put in the refrigerator in time, they will easily get maggots.

2. Traffic

1) I have been traveling in Kuala Lumpur and the traffic is chaotic. There are few traffic lights on the sidewalks. Pedestrians can only cross the road when there are few cars. It is very dangerous.

2) Transportation is the most worthy of complaint in Kuala Lumpur, especially for tourists. Although the subway network is relatively developed, the riding experience is not good for some reason. If you don’t live near KLCC or Bukit Bintang, It’s not convenient enough to go out for sightseeing and foraging.

3) The subway in Kuala Lumpur is very old, highly damaged and low in cleanliness. It does not give tourists a very good visual impression. Local people also admit that the transportation in Kuala Lumpur is very poor.

4) Taxi drivers don’t use meters, which is a rip-off for tourists. Price levels are similar to those in Guangzhou.

3. Food and leisure

1) Eating was really a nightmare for me at first, because I can’t cook like other colleagues, so I can only eat three meals a day. Solve it outside.

2) Indian dining habits, piles of meat of various colors mixed together are piled together, and meals are served on banana leaves. The most unbearable thing is to use! hand! Grasp! Damn, I really had to hold back my vomiting and finish the meal with my colleague. In fact, the taste is still good after eating it a few more times. It just looks too ugly.

3) Normal rest is basically spent in a large shopping mall, watching movies, shopping and drinking for a day, and there is always the Pavilion every week.

4) If you live in a non-core urban area, there are night markets nearby once or twice a week that are worth visiting. The fruits are cheaper than supermarkets such as Tesco, Aeon, and Giant, but the quality is also slightly lower. , there are also many kinds of drinks and snacks from three ethnic groups on sale. In addition, it is the sense of sight of Yiwu Small Commodity Market!

4. Economic status

1) As the capital, Kuala Lumpur, although more developed than other cities, seems to be slightly behind compared with neighboring Thailand and Singapore. The title of "Asia's Four Little Tigers" now seems to be inadequate. Although it is not difficult to see from the urban construction that this place was at the forefront of Asia once upon a time, it is a pity that the development of the times has not given Malaysia a new lease of life.

2) It was my first time to go to Malaysia, and I was unfamiliar with the place. Since I lived in George Town, every shop closed at around 7 o’clock, and the roads outside were empty and deserted, which scared me to death. , so I had to go back to the youth hostel to sleep after eight o'clock. Then on the second night, I was accosted by an Indian young man, which gave me a very bad impression that the security here was very bad.

3) When I arrived in Malacca, I felt that it was not very different from Penang, and it was even more boring than Penang.

4) The economic development here is naturally not as good as that of economic giants such as China and the United States, but it has everything it needs. It’s not a frog in the well, but I think the wifi is a bit slow!

5) Due to its small population, Malaysia’s service industry charges are more expensive than those in China, and technologies such as decoration and makeup are far inferior to those in China.

6) The infrastructure is relatively backward. China is rightly called an infrastructure madman. Due to its vast land and sparse population, Malaysia’s infrastructure investment is not as good as China’s, and its national construction efficiency and other issues, its infrastructure facilities are compared to China is far behind. Whether it is the Internet or public transportation, only the capital Kuala Lumpur has a subway and no high-speed rail. There are not many train lines and fewer flights, and there are even fewer buses.

7) The city looks old. Basically, except for the area with Kuala Lumpur CBD as the axis and a radius of 2.5 kilometers, which looks relatively prosperous, other places, even Kuala Lumpur, are desolate and covered with water everywhere. The walls are stained and eroded, and the walls are in disrepair. It looks like a relic from the last century.

5. Ethnicity

1) Most Malays seem to live an extremely leisurely life, and to be honest, they are lazy. The requirements for work and life are not as high as those of the Chinese, and life is too simple, but many Malays are not bad-hearted.

2) Muslims in Malaysia are much more traditional than I thought, and feel more conservative than Muslims in Turkey.

3) The social status of the Chinese is not high and they are generally dissatisfied with the Malays, but there is no obvious disharmony in their lives.

6. Public security

1) The public security here is actually not very good. You must be very careful when going out and pray to gods to ensure safety. At least I live this way and haven’t been robbed so far, Amitabha! But there's no fighting here, don't worry.

2) The government system is relatively corrupt. Similar to most developing countries, government policies are constantly changing. In addition, they will fish for law enforcement and collect money privately. There is a phenomenon of black cars. Black cars are often towed away, and it is suspected that they are colluding with the police.

3) The police here are super corrupt, so corrupt that it shocks me. Especially when festivals are approaching, they will stop your car inexplicably and use some unfounded reasons to detain you. If you want to leave, you have to give money. Of course, you don’t give it to him directly or throw the money to him. Give him the money on the ground or pretend to shake his hand. As for the amount of money, it mainly depends on their mood and the number of people. One of my colleagues once gave three policemen 900 ringgit, and of course there was also one person who got away with just 100.

7. Work efficiency

1) Malays are extremely inefficient and very unpunctual. We made an appointment to meet at 8 o'clock the next morning. It would be great to come at 9 o'clock. Delaying them to do things will take a long time, and in the end you will not have the temper to be angry with them.

2) Malaysians are very lazy and not as diligent as Chinese people, including Chinese. Malays are just very lazy, very lazy!

3) The pace of life is slow, and the strongest experience is that the efficiency of work in Malaysia is low, including government and business. I have tried that a colleague’s car was involved in an accident and the process was not completed for two months.

4) Applying for a visa here is also very frustrating for me. It was relatively smooth at the beginning, but with the increasing number of Chinese people in Johor Bahru, the cost of visas has also risen. In the past, it was difficult to get a visa It's just a matter of time. Now that your visa is approved, you have to go back to your country to get it affixed. When you come back and go through customs, it all depends on your luck. If you're lucky, you get through in one go. If you're not, they will stop you and say there's something wrong with your visa. I have to buy a return ticket, but it’s not a tourist visa, it’s a work visa, so why do I need a return ticket? If you want to enter the customs, there are only two ways, either listen to him and buy a return ticket yourself, or try your luck and enter the customs through another entrance. A colleague once had a work visa and was inexplicably locked up in a small dark room. Then he called the visa specialist in tears and talked for a long time before being released. The last reason given was that there was no reason! !

8. Network situation

1) Malaysia’s basic Internet services lag behind China’s, with high prices and poor quality. They have always joked that they chose the country with the fastest Internet speed among the countries with overseas academic qualifications recognized by the mainland. Read slowly. At the same time, it is very annoying that the content of many video websites is limited to IP broadcasts in mainland China. Not everyone can understand how to get back through the wall!

2) Online shopping is very troublesome, with all kinds of transshipments. Some locals actually like online shopping very much. I really don’t understand why online shopping is so slow and I don’t just go out. It hurts my head after buying it.
