In the video, she explains her dislikes about Malaysia, mentioning reasons such as the hot weather, how Malaysians interact with kids, and the lack of walkable roads.

“The cultural differences are significant, and I simply wanted to share them with good intentions only.”

In the video, she also explains why Malaysian food tends to be spicy, saying it’s because Europeans like her aren’t used to such flavours.

She also mentions how restaurant staff often assure her that the food isn’t too spicy, but she still struggles with it.

Rekya mentioned that it’s been 3 months since she moved to Malaysia. She explained that she had been considering leaving France for various reasons, and after thorough research, she found that Malaysia seemed like the best option.

 

“Things I love in Malaysia as a French”

Not only did Rekya share a video expressing her dislikes about Malaysia, but she also posted another one focusing on what she likes about the country.

In that video, she talked about how much she admires the way Malaysians respect each other, no matter their cultural or religious differences. She pointed out that Malaysians are much more tolerant compared to French people.
