A POSTGRADUATE student from China, who once complained about Malaysia being backward, has since discovered that the country is “wonderfully comfortable”, Sin Chew Daily reported.
The man, who is pursuing a master’s degree here, had previously commented about the “poor” state of Malaysia’s public transport system when he first arrived in the country.
“You have to drive to get anywhere. Moreover, the roads are old and damaged.
“What is the worst is the civil service. No one works during the weekend!” he said in a video posted on social media.
However, he has since grown fond of Malaysia.
The man said that he found it much easier to make friends with Malaysians due to their easy-going nature.
He is also pleased with the low cost of living.
“And the pace here is relaxing with so many holidays. We don’t have to work extra shifts or additional days,” he said.
