In contrast, he shared his experience in Singapore, describing it as "too small with not much to do besides walking around and sightseeing." He compared Malaysia and Singapore, noting that while they are similar, Malaysia offers better food and more significant cultural sites and architecture.
However, he did mention encountering a scammer in Malaysia, but downplayed it, saying, "Many countries have such incidents, so its not a big deal."
The video sparked a lot of discussion among netizens. Some Singaporeans agreed with his views, while others argued that Kuala Lumpur is not as pedestrian-friendly. The vlogger clarified that his stay in the Golden Triangle area of Kuala Lumpur made it convenient for walking around.
Overall, his video highlighted Malaysia as a more enjoyable and flavorful destination compared to Singapore.
