I'm a Muslim in Malaysia, I have 6 dogs at my farm (plus 5 cats). Many other Muslim farm owners have dogs. They are useful to deter monkeys, squirrels, wild boars, the kind of animals that will destroy your produce. Speaking of which, my dogs stopped a king cobra two days ago. Keeping dogs is totally permissable in Islam for practical use. You'll find herders in Morocco, Turkiye, Pakistan, Afghanistan keeping dogs. But yes, licking the face is a no no... 😊

definitely SHOULDN'T allow parents to give their children ridiculous names. that is mental torture to the kids and and open the door for bullying

ben.. muslim can have dogs but only for the purpose of guarding your property like your house, farm, etc.. u dont see dogs coz dogs are prohibited in public areas like malls, public transport..😂😂

The illegal kissing is mouth to mouth kissing with lust. A sign of displaying lust in public. Not affection 😂 Holding hands is ok,

Two things I do not discuss publicly: religion and politic.

I am malaysian born and live here for the past 76 years....maybe these crazy laws are what make Malaysia what it is....without them will it be the unique M'sia where you find lots of peace n beauty

Good video ! I like it , very entertaining no matter details lost in translation. You'll feel your way around the country. Don't mind another video along these lines.😉

You can see in intimate evwnt like hari raya when we seek for forgiveness, usually we hug our parent and siblings...for muslims...

The National Mosque in KL is such a beautiful place in Malaysia. Wherever we live, it's a different set of rules, laws and regulations, attractions, vibes, charm, beauty, history, people, food, art, culture, tradition, norm, etc.

Hi Ben, good topic to discuss. Malaysia is a multiracial country, it is far different from US. Malaysia have Muslim Hindu buddhist catholic christian just respect each others. Anyway don’t take it too personal on those negative comments.. treat it as a learning experience.Hope your channel getting better and better. Stay safe, stay cool stay positive

I believe no one was prisoned because of kissing in public, that's because there are rules. Rules are good. It keeps people safe. Even football games have rules. Human beings without rules are just barbaric. We share the same earth, the same air and the same sun. As long as everyone is happy, things would be fine. Never endanger anyone, or trying to intimidate anyone. Or hurt, or causing injuries. This is the rule of thumb in Malaysia. There are just as many dogs in the neighbourhood areas of Malaysia, not in KL city though. Dogs, pigs/pork, alcohol or getting drunk and drugs, having children out of wedlock, homosexuality or same sex marriage, theft/robbery and bribes - are all against the normality of a human being. Thats what Islam emphasise.

More often than not those Grab drivers are playing music to cater to their customers..since im am from an indian background they may tune to tamil radio or malay etc..its like that

Really interresting again , thank you Ben

In Malaysia, the default designated area to cross the road is 100m wide within the crosswalk/zebra crossing location. Crossing the road beyond 100m is permisible but pedestrians are not legally protected if hit by a vehicle.

Nah man the amount bullying for the kid with a shitty name will be long term. I mean you ain't wanna call the kid, Shitake or Peter File. That's the US freedom mindset.

Dump the hate, just correct him if u think some of his info is wrong. He is just trying to ‘Cari makan’ ✌🏾

Good list Ben. From when I was there some laws applied less or not at all to non-Muslims. Not sure about minor acts of kissing, but my Christian Chinese Fiancee and I once had a visit from the religious police for staying at a resort in Langkawi. My lady friend was is the bathroom and they were going to haul me away for illicit cohabitation, until they ascertained she was not Muslim. Apparently the resort was overbooked and they placed us in the Muslim bungalow section of he resort. I was informed that if my fiancee was a Muslim I would have the option of spending time in jail or converting to Islam. Not sure if that's the case, but maybe someone knows. Another time I was hanging out with couple of Sweetish guys and their wives back in the day before digital cameras and they had some rolls of film developed at a local photo shop in Penang that had all the prints rolling out on a convener belt in the window for people to see other tourist's photos. And one of the Swedish guy's wife's asked if one of the rolls had nude photos of them on he beach in France, Italy or somewhere. He said "Oh my god! it was in there!" We rushed back to the photo shop just as their nude photos were coming down the conveyor belt and people were outside laughing. There was also explicit private bedroom photos but nothing happened as a result.

We have dogs running around. Just not so much at the city, rather you'll see a lot of strays in housing estates

These laws or maybe just regulations sound quite reasonable. Nothing out of the ordinary.
