What is your research based on? Good try, but you missed the mark because the focus on Japan is an actual government directive/promotion. This national sentiment comes from the "Look East" policy instituted by Dr Mahathir -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_East_policy_(Malaysia). By the way Southeast Asian history is richer, and a lot earlier than the Malacca sultanate. But, again, good try.

This type of policy created by mahathir because he getting sick of the west who always do dumb thing and claim they are the better one , and he love Japanese work culture, technology and the way they managed their country, japan also known as country that rise from the ash after the war . See how fast they grow from 1950 until today the whole world still can't catch up with Japanese tech and also quality,most of Japanese product you can abuse them but they still work for the life time.

some say that Malaysians are very accepting of Japan after what the Japanese army has done in Malaysia (Malaysia, Borneo)..btw Malaya has been colonized for over 400 years by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese and until now we still will not forget the fall of the Malacca Sultanate against the Portuguese and some of the fall of the Malay Sultanate Empire caused by the Colonizers and any of their atrocities..but in this day and age, we choose to accept all of you former colonial countries in our country, as long as you no longer interfere with the sovereignty of our country. as the saying goes "The Trap Will Not Forget the Moth". Why did Malaysia make a Buy Last British campaign? This is because of the arrogance of the British in Malaysia's request to return the estate lands in Malaysia that are still owned by the colonial country despite Independence, and as a result in the year 1981, Malaysia has started an attack to take over the shares of the British plantation company Guthre that owns the land in Malaysia on the London Stock Exchange during the time of PM Margaret Tucher and finally all the farms returned to the Malaysian company which is now known as Sime Darby..(The Down Rid)

Looking at Singapore which was part of Malaysia, if they can do it, why Malaysia with such blessed land and resources still struggle? And it's difficult for many to acknowledge it, since it means that they have to see their religion in bad light. But it's not just Malaysia, even for first world country, USA, see how backwards they've become, due to mingling politics with religion. They all care more about their religions than the ppl.

Kinda weird how most Asian nations still have a bad opinion about the Japanese but Malaysia was able to forgive much easily, I mean are you really gonna blame the Japanese today for what their ancestors did? Obviously it's time to move on and maintain good ties again. Though it would be nice if Malaysia followed Japanese values in terms of infrastructure, waste management and maintenance of cultural heritage sites. I didn't know I had to say this but don't extrapolate any information from what I've said here, it's literally a comment that represents a fraction of my thoughts, I can't possibly answer all your questions can I?

And worse, we have a lot of foreign workers that dont care at all about the environment. I have even seen them throw their bags of sampah into the rivers.

And you know nothing about how lazy and corrupted our country or other third world country could be, to make all the projects fail. Look at how india spent 5 billion dollars to ask Japan build a dam for them, and look at how it collapsed so easily. Is it Japan's technology problem? or corruption in the government? you should know better. That is why China is not that stupid to leave it up workforce of someone that does not have a good track record. The nine-dash lines was published in 1948 by the Chinese government with no raising disputes. The disputes only happen when countries around saw promising prospect for oil and gas resources in the 1970s, and they began to occupy the resources, beginning the disputes. Other than that, it's a much more complicated issue that needs more understanding and bilateral negotiations, than just blantantly denoting the issue as China wanting to annex South China Sea as its own. Plus you wanna talk about bully, why didn't you mention USA.

The main thing is the japanese demeanor is what we Malaysian and Indonesians can relate to. Our 'adab dan sopan' is similar to the polite and respectful japanese culture. The only difference is that the japanese educational system manage to integrate it successfully in their society whereas we still struggle to implement it nationwide. Not to mention the loitering culture which still needs fixing, hopefully the masses would learn to appreciate local culture instead of blindly following foreign one Remember what they did in ww2.

Also, Malaysia loves anime. As for Japan, Malaysian warm climate and more laid-back work attitude has been attracting many Japanese ppl. And in Malaysia, there are Bon Odoris annually to celebrate relations, politically and culturally. I was surprised that not every country had sth similar. And, in my experience, the ones who rmbr the Japanese invasion history in Malaysia are upset yes but they are more angered about Western ppl's colonial influences, which still has its effects today
Thank you for sharing. But since they are in diplomatic business relationships... it is very safe to say only they know of their collaborative future prospects!!
my grandparents survived japanese invasion, although had some of their friends killed and was targeted personally by a group of japanese soldier because of my granparent's bloodline and my granpa's military title, they still manage to forgive them, they said "Its useless being mad at one Race just because they did something horrible in the past"

We aren't anything like the US - Russia cold war bromance relationship. We moved on and accepted with wholeheartedly towards others who's also wanted to move on.it's that simple
It is also noted that japan agreed a 'samurai bond' to loan malaysia some money to combat debt in 2018-2019 to which hasn't seen much improvement because the pandemic hits the world not long after. But it is quite clear our country had such strong economic relations with japan that they're willing to help malaysia
I came from Penang, there's a lot of stories about Japanese told by the elders, including our school field is where rebels are being decapitated, and lots of similar stories. Now to think of it, non of the elders told the stories with negative emotions. However, since the occupation is short, we do not have much Japanese influences like Taiwan has. It's a topic that happens around me but I never think too hard about it.

As a Malaysian i'm disappointed that Malaysian chose Japan because of Anime and He***
Reading this headline in 2024:😊 Reading this headline in 1941: 💀
Mahathir was the person who started the "Dasar Pandang Ke Timur" movement. Which basically means he was proud of asian countries that were advanced economically and technologically
Malaysia 🇲🇾 strong relationship with Japan 🇯🇵and we love them
Lot of Japanese work at Johor Bahru.They always hang out and drink at permas jaya.Thats fact because im grab driver.I always got booking from them.
As a Malaysian musician, all I can say is there is no Malaysian musician that I met that didn't like Japanese music especially Jrock ♥️
Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️ Japan 🇯🇵
No earthquakes, no volcanoes, no typhoons. It is a no brainer
I want to go in Malaysia now 🥰
We love Japan ❤️
Malaysians: want jdm imports Also Malaysia: Get rebadge japan model Japan: want halfcuts? Malaysia: yes
I hope Malaysia and Japan are both culturally empowered and equally help in strengthening this good relationship, when I see KZread there are still many Japanese people who do not know about Malaysia, Japan should include teaching Japanese children about Malaysia in Japanese schools so that they see Malaysia as a great country even though it is small and separated in two but has cultural and religious diversity, making Malaysia interesting, and among the countries with the largest Malay population in the world, Malaysia has also received many cultures, so it is not wrong if you help Malaysia to strengthen the mastery of the Malay language widely in Japanese schools, whether it is compulsory or not, it is definitely highly encouraged because we also work hard to learn Japanese even though it is difficult
As a fellow Malaysian i can say all he is saying is 100% true
What happened in the past was way beyond horrible, but we can't simply see the sons as criminals if the crime was commited by the fathers. We need to forgive for our own good; time & people have changed
So is this why I have quite a few japanese friends here? Hmm... tbh both proton and perodua seemed like successes here since both are everywhere.
May this partnership benefit both Malaysia and Japan for many many years to come. I always love Japan although I've never been there.
The then prime minister had a buy british last approach and was very outspoken of the american involvement in the Israeli occupied palestine. He found an economic icon that he could lean on to still be progressive and manage to spite the western world once in a while. A byproduct of being right i would say.

I'm disappointed that u did not mentioned about how the peak of Japanese culture, manga & anime, contributed to the extremely positive views of Malaysians towards Japan
Let me tell you all a funny fact 😆 Why Japan Choose Malaysia? "Because here Malaysia every week almost having anime cosplay event!" 🤣🤣🤣 *Latest anime cosplay event will be on 5 - 7 AUG 2022 at BBCC Mitsui Lalaport (Lalaport ACG Matsuri 2022)
every Malaysian student during mahathir time as the Prime minister for 22 years from 1981-2003 grow up with a lot of affection or admiration for japan in their tech in their pop culture their language..his policy not just influence the gov administration and bureaucratic policy but also on other aspect of normal malaysian daily life..i remember we use to have a lot of tv drama from japan in our malaysian tv both in gov own tv and private tv station..there even a japanese language segment on radio...thats how most malaysian kid in the 80 and 90 grow up to love japan through this soft power or cultural exposure..we love japan so much and anything japanese from car engine to manga/anime to sushi to JAV etc.
Sad...sad to see rich foreigners living in Jalan Ampang/Mont Kiara/ Bangsar/ Bukit Tunku using Malaysian resources, while local malaysian girls working in Japanese electronic factories underpaid compared to pinoys maids...and be called "bagiro" by Japanese bosses.And they even have to celebrate boss's dead relatives on Bon Odori.By the time they reached 40, these local factory girls lost their eysights, suffer back pains, and many had cancer due to radioactive in the factories...Next, we'll have future English Queen who's anchestors took lands from locals called them Guthrie.. right... Selamat Merdeka.

Hii ex nippon steel worker here🤘
Would like to chip in a bit here. When Japanese investors come to Malaysia, they will bring along their own contractors, supply chain, financier and business partners (keiretsu model). Therefore, these Japanese investments doesn't really benefit local communities much since most of the money flows within the keiretsu structure. The Chinese investors are also replicating the same model in Malaysia. However, it does seem like there is more prejudice against Chinese investors as compared to Japanese investors although they are using the same model. Personally, I think these investors should be regulated more to benefit local communities.

We can forgive but we cant forget our history
malaysians who grew up in the 80s with anime and video games have a favorably view of japan. this is japan's soft power at best. current generation are exposed to k-wave from korea.
If you look at the history we tried to have good relationship with US by buying planes from them. But only a few planes arrive here. The rest are in a dessert somewhere in US. In the end we buy from Russia. Its like recent Turkiye problem.

These days Japanese investments in Malaysia are very little. They much prefer Vietnam & Thailand. Actually its the US that have been investing heavily in Malaysia. The ones im excited the most with is Dell $7 billion project in Penang and Microsoft data center in Cyberjaya which will create 19,000 jobs, mostly high paying. There is even talk about Amazon and Google joining Microsoft in Cyberjaya to work on a hyperscale data center. I hope this will happen.

some weirdos in the comments literally said Malaysia is a weeb country and a big h consumer when the entire video displayed proven statistics and calculations about Malaysia-Japan trading. this is proof that it's so hard to find a person with an actual brain online... 🗿
What's kind of funny is that the foreign companies or MNCs from Japan, Europe, China and America pay way more (in some cases double) than what our own domestic Malaysian Corporations pay. The only domestic company that gives a competitive wage is Petronas, other than that, the Chinese-Malaysian owned corporations low ball the heck out of salaries and the government isn't even enforcing them to give an amount that people can actually live with. It's sad honestly.
Thanks to Dr Mahathir
Yeah, we may "look east" but we actually don't learn and implement the essence of it . Japan has good public transportations,very developed in technology, punctual and active to improve any inconveniences. But in reality, Malaysia didn't learned or progress from that relation. Now, we realised that we are so wasted by becoming a mobile-centric country.

Our nazi home minister has tightened the screw and made it more difficult for new mm2h applicants. But those interested can apply from sarawak state which has a autonomy in immigration matters and maintain previous conditions. Even my son can converse in japanese he learned from anime cartoons. He spoke japanese if clients are japanese when working part time after spm. So now he speaks four languages.
Pretty cool, love both countries
former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad really is the founding father of Malaysia - Japan relationships.. his Look East Policy back in those days are the key platform on what Malaysia has become today.. Proton does uses Mitsubishi tech back then and become Malaysia's national car brand but nowadays Perodua takes on the title as Perodua still uses Japan's Toyota / Daihatsu tech.. Proton on the other hand changes to China Geely tech and that makes them now below Perodua as Malaysian favorite car brand.. In the upcoming near future i can tell that Japan will always be our most ideal partner.. it's true that Japan once invade our country, making our ancestors lives miserable back in WW2 but we Malaysians have this thing called forgiveness as taught by Islam teachings and beliefs.. the way i see it, Japan is making up for their mistakes in the past by helping Malaysia develop alongside them towards a better future together like good friends or brothers do..
