Malaysia itself is interesting,
a. Forest adventure within peninsular
b. food hunting
c. heritage (Penang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Melaka)
d. Sabah & Sarawak adventure
the part you highlight is mainly KL tho.. hence some travel youtube tried to go other states rather than focusing on KL alone.
At least try to appreciate for them to put Malaysia on part as Tourism rather than those negative Media.
try to compared to SG... despite multiple tourist visit, it is the same formula over n over again
a. Advance building
b. efficient public transport
c. SQ first & Biz class
d. Hawker center
e. USS themepark
f. Changi Airport
thats all.
Malaysia indeed have nice places, much better than Thailand
but we know we are lagging behind them to logistic infrastructures.
One van ride away will get you from spot to spot.
One boat ride away till get you from island to island.
One grab ride away will swerve you from neighborhood to neighborhood.
I've been to places all states in Malaysia including Labuan.
Visited hard to reach places like Mulu, Perhentian, Bohey Dulang, Tahan,
Korbu, Bako, Talang Talang, Uma Sambop, Tanjung Datu, Kinabalu and Sagil
and you at least need a group effort to ease the expenses.
Malaysia cannot compete because our spots are too far away from each other.
We don't have centralized minibuses that specialized in transporting tourists.
We don't have motorized taxi like Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand.
The question is, will you fork out money just to accommodate tourist,
eg: Mulu airport is one of the example. Actual inhabitants forced to resettlement
Or uses this money for better use for locals like building roads, bridges, klinik kesihatan and schools
