Tourist Claims M’sians “Unfriendly” For Not Smiling Back At Him, Sparks Backlash


By DN21

Are Malaysians as “unfriendly” or “nervous” as deemed by this tourist?

A man recently took to TikTok claiming he felt shocked after noticing how unfriendly most Malaysians were, whilst on a holiday in Kuala Lumpur.

He pointed out that many acted “nervous” when he smiled at them, which he then boasted about the friendliness of Thai people.

In the video, he theorised that perhaps Malaysia has “stricter law” compared to the latter, which made people less welcoming.
