    I am Syrian and I have been living in Malaysia for 8 years. My love to this beautiful country has started from the first day and it keeps increasing everyday. The nature, food, people, diverse, contradictions, lifestyle… and many other reasons make me feel that I’m really lucky to have lived significant part of my life here. Saya suka Malaysia ❤

    Strange. My wife got her PR in 2 years following the document checklist issued by Shah Alam immigration. We didn't listen to any hearsays or used any runners. Just directly to the officer who advised us on what to prepare and submit. They were polite, firm and professional.

    If she loves durian she definitely deserves a PR status😊
  • This country is underrated. 1st class infrastructure, low taxes, low cost and lots of beautiful islands as well. Amazing.

    I can feel her happiness is truly from her bottom of her heart..

    Good video. Brightened up my day hearing her laughter and enjoying her stay in Malaysia.
  • As an expat who has lived and worked in Malaysia and Singapore I love watching these and seeing the differences in other people's experiences in this part of the world.
  • Agreed with her... Its easy to live in Malaysia. Just follow the country rules. The people are understanding and friendly....❤
  • Yes It's very important in our country Malaysia to show our love to our children as well as children of other families. Often I will voluntarily buy ice-cream or other titbits for other children I met just to make them happy. If they are happy then their parents are happy. That's simple.
