A Malaysian content creator has come under heavy criticism after posting videos of people in Europe while making mocking remarks in Bahasa Melayu.
The videos, uploaded to his TikTok account, show him approaching or filming locals and creating fictional narratives about what they were supposedly doing. In several clips, he is also seen asking people questions before making jokes or comments in Malay, a language many of those featured are unlikely to understand.

Adding to the controversy, one video drew criticism for what netizens described as a sexually inappropriate joke about a woman's breasts, in Malay.
Another clip showed him approaching a Black man while shouting "Wakanda Forever". Although the phrase was popularised by Marvel's Black Panther, many Malaysians argued that using it in that context was insensitive and racially offensive.
Netizens were not impressed
The videos have since been widely circulated across various social media platforms, where many Malaysians expressed disappointment and frustration over the content creator's behaviour.
"How can you be so proud of creating content like this? Embarrassing."
One user shared, "This is not only racist but also sexual harassment. Stupid."

"I hate his content. Please report him. This is not how we Malaysians behave. What happened to basic manners? Imagine if foreigners came to our country and did the same thing. This is completely inappropriate," commented a user.

While many Malaysians questioned what the content creator hoped to achieve with such videos, others pointed out that some TikTok users appeared to find the content entertaining.
Another said, "Many people on TikTok think this is funny. But imagine if foreigners came to Malaysia and behaved the same way. Do you think Malaysians would be okay with it?"
