Is Indonesia Better than Malaysia For Living?

You looked at KL & Jakarta which are the capital cities...but considered them as countries - Malaysia & Indonesia...so your context is not accurate...need to be more accurate next time.

If u want to die early due to pollution and poor healthcare jakarta is ur choice

bloody history in Indonesia. Humanity crimes with massacre as recent as 1998. Not a place to live

Are you both from India.Delhi most polluted city in India and world.Also dangerous for women because of rapist

Honestly this goin to triggered indonesian more even if they know it was true.

Kuala Lumpur MALAYSIA : 6
Jakarta INDONESIA : 2
TIE : 2

Malaysia is the BETTER place for living. Malaysia semakin mendunia 👍

Living in KL is miles better than Jakarta. Jakarta is full of traffic, flood, polutions. Just avoid it for long term living. For short trip holiday maybe ok

Malaysia n indonesia not just Kuala Lumpur n Jakarta... u must explore

In Malaysia we have another food delivery service is food panda the pink panda.

When you do all this ‘better living’ between KL and Jakarta…have u actually do a study or just on your own whims? As a Malaysian definitely will take aback while noting that no cities are perfect…but seriously KL and Jakarta? The major factor that you should see when thinking of moving to another city is to see the utilities infrastructures eg like electrical and drinking water quality etc…dont get me wrong just have a look at this proper survey done by Mercer’s World Cities Ranking for Quality of Living year 2023…
Singapore 29
Hong Kong 77
Dubai 79
Kuala Lumpur 86
Johor Baharu (Malaysia) 107
Bangkok 124
Manila 135
Jakarta 148
Out of 241 countries.
There you go… even another city in Malaysia better of than Jakarta

you didn't mention pungli and slums

Do stay in Jakarta and Don't come to Malaysia. Seriously we don't compare with Indonesia which is an advanced nation. We are just planning to win the next Election and promote Syariah Law except for Sabah and Sarawak. .

Jakarta is sinking. That's why they are moving their administration capital away from Jakarta.

Of coz KL

I dont know where you got your data... kuala lumpur "official" size is just 1/3 or Jakarta.. so it is quite small, but it got about 74+ malls compared to Jakarta 84+, in which per square kilometers, KL still got more malls than Jalarta..
if you want to count Malls in both cities, you might need to look at "greater jakarta" and "greater kuala lumpur" which includes surrounding cities.
then you could google up and find up that KL got much more malls than Jakarta.. Al-Jazeera reported that Greater KL got 727 malls. and retail centers.
cheers.,,😀

Oh no, sensitive subject. 😅

let's talk about alphabetical order in Indonesia... the pronunciation is so much different!!

for quiter living, good to look at ikn & putrajaya…

😊

For me, Malaysia is a clear winner for all categories. However Indonesia has Bali, Jogjakarta which is the most amazing city. Indonesia wins

You conveniently omitted the LRT, MRT, Monorail and bus services in KL. Getting around is very convenient with these and also, Grab costs are inexpensive too. Shame on you. 🤭😝

Yes, Indonesia way more better than Malaysia. Its have a really² cheapest value for a quiet well-facilitated apartments/condos, not really bad for civil transportation system, highly richly in cultures, variety delicacy cuisines, foods and the most important is the numbers of notoriously tropical beaches, islands, rainforests, wonderful mountainous, and many more natures treasures. Its way more better than Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in all of those aspects.

Forget both cities. Choose any 2nd tier city. More affordable, less crowded, more or less same quality of life.

Indonesia is always more advance in everything. No country to compare. Please stay in Indonesia ya. You like gojek right?

As an Indonesian I think KL is better than Jakarta. It is better to live in Indonesia when you look at other parts of Indonesia

No way Jakarta got better public transportation, unless you prefer motorcycles option. The KL train systems are much better.

Jakarta or Indonesia got the numbers of malls, because they are much bigger country. But KL got more numbers per km definitely. The KL standard and varieties of malls are way more better even for American or European standard.

Though, the much greater aspects of Jakarta-Indonesia generally, they got more genuine cultures. KL Malaysia are too much melting pots.

KL are better city to live, but Jakarta are very interesting city to travel.

Dare to comment about Kuala Lumpur... If you think Jakarta is better, then ask those 5 million Indonesian living in Malaysia to go back to their country... I'm getting sick of seeing them walking around...

Actually it depends on your financial situation, usually the rich will pick Malaysia. Have to consider more besides monry, for example your personal safety, health, pollution, culture and etc

Malaysia good

maybe the title should just say comparison between Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta for living instead of using the names of the entire countries

you miss one most important thing. The healthcare accessibility

What is your monthly income? How due you pay your mortgage in australia? This video is 5 months old. Where are you now?

What is there to compare...of course as a Malaysian i love this findings but it won't be nice to compare one to one, Jakarta vs KL. It create negativity between between them but it's better to compare for example amongst top 5 cities in SEA. Like Bangkok, Jakarta, KL, Ho Chi Min and Manila and put them in ranking. My sincere comments. Tq

You should compare Indonesia to your homeland Bangladesh

If we talk about Public transportation only, not including ride sharing, i think KL is better. The LRT, MRT, BRT, KTM, ERL, Airport rail link & monorail all of it are seamlessly connected. With the MRT circle line coming up, getting around KL city will be much more easier.

Since you seem to lack sufficient knowledge about public transport in the two cities, especially in Kuala Lumpur, let me share some comparisons between the two cities.

Here’s a comparison between the public transport systems in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Jakarta:

1. System and Network Coverage

Kuala Lumpur

LRT, MRT, and Monorail: KL has an efficient Light Rail Transit (LRT), Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), and monorail system connecting key urban and suburban areas.

KTM Komuter: Serves longer-distance areas like Klang and Rawang.

Buses: RapidKL operates most buses, complemented by free services like the GoKL City Bus in central areas.

Integration: Key hubs like KL Sentral connect multiple modes of transport seamlessly.


Jakarta

MRT and LRT: Jakarta has recently launched MRT and LRT systems, but coverage is still limited compared to KL.

TransJakarta: One of the largest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems globally, with dedicated lanes for buses ensuring efficient travel.

Commuter Line (KRL): Covers broader areas, linking Jakarta with surrounding cities like Bogor and Bekasi.



---

2. Accessibility and Convenience

Kuala Lumpur

Public transport is well-integrated, with smart card systems (Touch 'n Go) usable across trains and buses.

Modern stations with escalators, lifts, and clear signage in multiple languages.

Cleanliness and punctuality are generally well-maintained.


Jakarta

TransJakarta buses have extensive routes, though road traffic can sometimes slow operations despite dedicated lanes.

MRT is modern but still expanding its reach.

Ticketing systems (JakLingko card) integrate multiple transport modes, but integration is not as seamless as KL’s.



---

3. Cost

Kuala Lumpur

Affordable fares for most services. For example, MRT and LRT fares typically range between RM1–RM6, depending on distance.

Free buses (GoKL) help tourists and residents save money.


Jakarta

Cheaper overall. TransJakarta fares are very low, typically IDR 3,500 (around RM1). MRT and LRT are affordable but slightly pricier than buses.



---

4. Traffic Challenges

Kuala Lumpur

Efficient rail systems help avoid road traffic, but buses can still face congestion during peak hours.


Jakarta

Severe traffic congestion is a significant issue, especially during rush hours. While TransJakarta buses have dedicated lanes, other public transport options can be delayed due to traffic.



---

5. Future Developments

Kuala Lumpur

Expansion of MRT and LRT networks (e.g., MRT3 Circle Line).

More focus on green and electric buses.


Jakarta

MRT and LRT expansions are ongoing to cover more areas.

Increased efforts to integrate all modes under the JakLingko system.



---

Conclusion

KL: Offers a more integrated and extensive public transport system with greater coverage and ease of use for residents and tourists alike.

Jakarta: While improving rapidly, it still faces challenges in integration and traffic but excels in affordability and its vast BRT network.

Great video. Just subscribed as well. I’m going with extended family (14 of us) including kids for about a month to Indonesia in July.

rohingya ❤ indonesia

I prefer The lost City of Shangrila 😂😂

do not compare which state. this discaurage the people of the state.if you love the state just keep in your heart.we aseanmen very sensitive.

Most expats prefer KL because of good value for money😂

konoha will mad

Akhirnya Malaysia menang - Yacob ;)

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The traffic in KL is crazy for a city of it's size but the traffic in Jakarta is a whole other world of pain. Some claim that Surabaya is even worse, but that is difficult to imagine - I naively thought that Bangkok had the worst traffic in Southeast Asia until I landed in Jakarta.

Indonesia is raw Malaysia is becoming Digital , so pick ur pick :)

Jakarta so dirty

Seems like you are just being polite to give some of those points to Jakarta hahaha. Jakarta really can’t compare with KL to be honest. Sorry 😅
