US Tourist Rates Malaysia Zero Out of Ten After Disappointing Trip
US Tourist Sparks Debate After Harsh Review of Malaysia
A Black American tourist has stirred conversation on TikTok after sharing a brutally honest opinion about her experience in Malaysia. In her video, she displayed a bold statement across the screen: “Yes, I definitely will not return to Malaysia, zero out of ten, not recommended.”
Her review quickly caught attention, not only because of the rating, but also because she compared Malaysia to other Southeast Asian countries that she felt delivered much better hospitality.

Compares Malaysia to Cambodia and Vietnam
According to her, Cambodia and Vietnam delivered friendlier service and overall better treatment. Kuala Lumpur, in particular, disappointed her, although she acknowledged that Penang was somewhat acceptable.
She further claimed that Malaysians were rude to her, and questioned why she often felt ignored or treated dismissively.
Cites E Hailing Cancellation Incident as Main Reason
One of the incidents that shaped her negative impression happened in Penang, where she and her travel partner attempted to book a ride. Despite the driver being only nine minutes away, the booking was cancelled.
She believed the driver cancelled the ride after seeing that they were American and Black. She described the experience as frustrating and said it had happened to her more than once during her visit.
Malaysians Respond with Calmness and Humor
Despite the harsh tone of her review, Malaysians responded with surprising composure. Many commented humorously, suggesting she travel to countries she prefers instead of generalizing an entire nation.
Some foreign tourists who had previously visited Malaysia also stepped in, sharing their own positive experiences and noting that her review did not reflect the country as a whole.
Issue of Ride Cancellation Not Unique to Malaysia
Several users pointed out that ride cancellations are common worldwide, including in developed countries like Australia. They suggested that it may not have been a matter of discrimination, but simply driver preference or timing.
However, many viewers noticed the tourist’s delivery appeared intentionally provocative, as if designed to spark outrage or stir engagement. Her tone, they said, came across as dismissive and unnecessarily confrontational.
