so the authorities ordered all government officials to wear traditional malaysian clothing to work on thursdays. although it is full of variety, but still life is determined here by precisely three ethnic groups - malays, chinese , indians, and two peoples have appeared. here , exclusively thanks to the british, the chinese were mainly imported so that they would work in the tin quarries. and the indians to work on the plantations. and the local population of the malays were rural residents, well, they were also engaged in fishing and are the title nation. this is the same numerous slightly more than half of the country's population, about a fifth of the population of the chinese indians less than about ten percent, the remaining tribes of aborigines who settled in these places long before

the arrival of all the others from them. actually. we began our acquaintance with the peoples of the century. we went to the jungle. strange as it may seem, this trip was arranged for us by our own man alexander buyanov, work in international companies shook him around the world, until the work of work brought him to malaysia, but there is also joy of life one of the greatest joys for alexander was racing on suvs under the ass. yes, there is such a hobby, and at some point i managed to visit the audience at the competition. uh, ryan force challenge. this is such a famous international race. running in malaysia for over 25 years. they build special cars for this race and for 10 days they uh compete against

each other in deep jungle, very tough conditions. yes, there are people who enjoy overcoming difficulties that are for themselves and create for a long time. we rode with friends in the jungle, just for fun, just for the experience and for the sake of adventure, and then , uh, i found out that there was an opportunity. e not just to have fun, but to help someone, and since then we began to participate in such missions. how, for example, today we show help to the natives. our help to the natives was traveling in a second car. we were carrying children's books. medicines. actually , the natives are not deprived of attention. we are laying states, where it is possible to stretch roads, power lines. builds houses. well, the help of the volunteers is not superfluous. i'm trying to somehow educate

the children in the tribe. u rank. asli. these are the indigenous people of malaysia, i built a study hut for them and here i am trying to convey to them the importance of education. i'm starting to pine how to hold a pencil. many of them do not know what a pencil or power is. most of the tribes have not entered modern society, they live far from cities and their children are very visible, they do not have the opportunity to attend school, and the inhabitants do not see the meaning of education in their families. aranga village, located in five to six hours drive from the capital. in general, lucky electricity.

and here is something completely unexpected like this, placing arrows smeared with a sticky composition on the branches. here he catches small game, rubber, hunting, poultry, modest kitchen gardens. it would be difficult to live on this alone, but fortunately there is a volunteer. i turn to my family and friends for help. my call is heard by people completely unfamiliar to me. who helps with money, who brings some things. i must say that the inhabitants of this village accepted the help of volunteers from great dignity, but they didn’t really remain especially for us.

in the house of the village headman, a small feast was arranged, we were treated to fried bananas and fried manya root crops reminiscent of potatoes in taste, on this occasion a chicken was even slaughtered as a sign of special gratitude and the hospitality of the meeting for us it all looked quite exotic extreme exotics should go 1.000 km from capital on the island of barnau, where the border with indonesia passes. well exotic of course, insanely beautiful nature, like the jungle the underwater world is very beautiful beaches in malaysia there are corners. where at all? here a man's foot sank into the jungle can be found. the names of the aborigines are not easy, but for the time being, the little cultivated tribes before the yaks known as headhunters kill the enemy and bring his skalf leader an ancient ritual that gives the right to marry. maybe it's only a legend, but he

says that it's still not worth tempting fate by going to the mountainous regions. however , the dayaks, living on the plain, the public is quite peaceful to tourists, accustomed to, although especially their and are not allowed into their lives, they say. you can look at us, but only from the outside and do not forget to leave some money, you start to appreciate civilization especially and never get tired of being amazed by the contrast. the birth of modern malaysia is associated with the name of this man mahathir mahomat the fourth malaysian president in the summer he will turn 98 years of his reign, and he was unchanging in power 22 years became a turning point in the history of the country the economy

of the industrial economy this required capital know-how and understanding of the market but in those years malaysia was a poor country. we did not have a heavy industry or a market, the only way out was to attract into the industry, foreign direct investment, impressed by the economic miracle. japan mahatskyr. i dreamed of repeating it at home. one of the very first and it seems his favorite children was the automobile plant proton fir put forward the idea of ​​​​creating a national car, which had a tremendous impact on the future of the country this plant, as it were, laid the foundation for the modernization of malaysia mahathir dreamed of a car made in malaysia for him it was and a symbol and a real step in development. and he just burned with love for the car. although the national car did not work out

today, proton is almost half owned by the chinese and these cars look with an obvious chinese squint. however, every fifth car in the country. in the course of the assembly line , many cars go abroad, it turns out that russia also found it. here its interest is again the automotive sector of the mechanical engineering production of spare parts. this is what is inserted from malaysia to russia . one of the two technological malay parks.

the largest high-tech leaders intel bosch sony motorola and many other penangs have settled on this island, which is what they call the silicon valley of malaysia . companies registered here are exempt from duties for 10 years, manure and export of goods have other benefits. uh, hitting corruption and the authorities used the singapore model in penang. and then foreign investments flowed to the island from china , singapore and other countries. on this small island are located not only numerous electronics production, but also machine building refineries and other production is right here. they are the capital primarily drawn by foreign investors.

wow are drawn not only by investors, but also by crowds of tourists, the british -founded george of the capital has retained the breath of the past centuries, although, in its own way , the european style, desperately permeated with chinese motifs is not in the country from any other place where per capita. there would have been so many chinese, but the most interesting thing is that it was here that the same chinese antiquity that was destroyed by the cultural revolution of the mainland, china and killed by progress in hong kong here and the impressive statue of the buddhist goddess of mercy guangyi is confessed. the statue of the goddess has found its home in the temple complex, revered as a pilgrimage center for buddhists from hong kong

philipping. the main attraction of the temple, in fact the exact number. each position of the hands of the fingers, each posture , each gesture will have a meaning tells about the life of the buddha, conveys his instructions or indicates the state of the teacher of these after gestures will the theologians speak for as many days in seven years? penang island is also called the gastronomic capital of malaysia by those who love to eat here. it will simply be paradise, because if fusion has indian dishes, chinese dishes and malay ones, which, well, i don’t like because

they are spicy, but many people like it, and the fruits of the sun and in general are not so expensive, in fact , a special attitude towards those is typical for the whole country, as someone noticed, food is the very glue that holds this nonsense, we are wine and can be considered a pillar malaysian society. they will be able to immediately treat something or invite them to have a bite to eat in a nearby cafe. malaysia can safely be called ryan. a fantastic variety of dishes, they are simply amazing. however , penang, like the whole of malaysia itself,

is in a strange way. dropped out of the attention of our tour industry, in the neighboring talent of our tourists brings down thousands. and malaysia, where everything is the same, only much cheaper. we have no idea, but there is something to see here. i think malaysia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. she officially included there in the 13 most beautiful countries in terms of flora and fauna in terms of diversity. very beautiful beaches. here i am, for example, all the time compared with the maldives. only cheaper still unknown is not similar. the soil, for example, compared to thailand, which is well trampled there, well, tons of tourists and by the way. everyone slept here world-class no worse than their neighbors, other countries have long mastered them. we would like to change the balance in the geography of our guests, in addition to australian tourists from england and europe, we would also

wanted to see. we have russians. we consider the russian market to be very promising, of course, we need to think over a marketing strategy and understand how we can attract people from russia to take a look at malaysia's second ancient valley a gigantic center of digital and other high technology. in fact, it is also a special economic zone, corresponding to tax incentives. here are the most an advanced training and research center is immediately located in the production of microprocessors, other high-tech products, by the way, before the start of the pandemic , malaysia was

in second place in supplying chips to russia, but now the threat of american secondary sanctions has seriously affected everyone. today we see that the sanctions imposed on russia in connection with the conflict in ukraine are hitting and in europe this unsuitable means of resolving problems is suffering, and countries that have nothing to do with the conflict at all have because of the sanctions. we can't trade, but the americans have more than a whip in store for malaysia. usa is malaysia's third largest export market america is our most important strategic partner us companies have invested huge sums in malaysia indeed us-created enterprises employ 200,000 workers. yes, malaysians do not

always like what the united states is doing in the world. however, there are long-standing close ties between the countries, including in the field of military cooperation. and yet, having received independence. we realized that we must act solely in our own interests, and not in the interests of other countries or blocs. we decided that in foreign policy malaysia should be friends with all countries, regardless of their ideology, the united states but the country buys weapons from china and other countries, including russia, about a quarter of the combat strength of the malaysian air force is our mega and the drying of our own experience piloting the su-30 mkm, i can say that this is a very maneuverable aircraft, especially in its super-maneuverable mode with the presence of

thrust vectoring engine and its onboard avionics. because in the malaysian version we additionally use a large number of western avionics. these aircraft represent a formidable force, especially in the conditions of malaysia. general osman was in the first group of malaysian pilots who completed a flight training course on our dry aircraft in russia. the last batch of our aircraft was purchased in 2007. and it seems that further purchases are currently being driven by economic reasons, as well as for the reason that we want to improve our pilot training system. we have focused on these tasks. perhaps there are other reasons for this. as we can see, the united states has leverage on kuala lumpa and breaking off relations with america is not at all in its interests. it's complicated.

malaysia has to balance running between the jet, trying not to hurt the interests of another extremely powerful player, china , but at the same time remaining itself. malaysia really doesn’t want to be treated like that, that the subject is through interest, and right here interaction with russia opens up a completely different quality of relations for malaysia, that is, independence of its decisions, so i don’t think that the us will be able to torpedo russia’s serious proposals somewhere, and now, if it’s a circle, most likely in its relations from this side, we can count on nothing more than a friendly no. and, of course, the fierce competition from the americans, however, the current situation. our asian. we are not starting a swoot from scratch in malaysia, we are buying electronics and household appliances. what do we sell malaysia is a high-tech

country and also attracts innovative business from russia. this is a company that operates in the aerospace aviation sector. this is an it company of a company that works in the field of cybersecurity. well, if we talk about trade, the lion's share of our exports to malaysia is still oil, oil products and a minimum of finished products. although there are breakthroughs, for example, we are delivering medical equipment and robots here by air for servicing oil and gas pipes. but still, in general, today in malaysia weaves somewhere in the tail of the countries with which russia trades, there is an impression that all previous years that russian businesses had little interest in each other. but china singapore japan the united states has found hundreds of billions of dollars of interest here. we barely reach three who carried away with the west.

we somehow completely lost sight of the vostok . vostokist alexei maslov sees deeper roots in this. the problem is that we often perceive asia as one big spot. therefore, this generalized approach is very badly. uh, all to the asian, the country, especially the countries of southeast asia, each of them wants to be independent. they all experienced a very serious psychological trauma - colonism. and therefore, they are very sensitive to the way they have been treated for decades, our relationship is considered by aleksey maslov to be a purely psychological phenomenon. it always seems to us that we are intellectual economic political countries with which we communicated. and so we come to look at them a little from above today, it turns out. we we are studying countries that have in many ways overtaken us in terms of economic development in terms of the quality of the political structure and

state institutions. that is , the reality has changed, but the representation has remained the same, and here, er, in my opinion. today, a decade has been missed when it was necessary to train specialists specifically for interaction, for example, with southeast asia, now we are trying to do in a very short time what we had to do for decades, so that everyone who wants to enter the market. in this case, malaysia could get advice, how to negotiate, how to invest, how to ribotrate investments some of these business contact consulting worries have taken our place in malaysia and not just carried in the past year, for example, there has been an explosion in circulation from russian companies. sey, unfortunately, i must say that the russians were too comfortable doing business with the west. this is not a reproach europe is at your side. of course, i

am not happy about the sanctions imposed by the europeans, but at least now russian organizations russian companies are starting turn your gaze. to the east, in addition to large companies, quite unexpected businesses also turned their eyes to the east. this is one of the sports game centers in moscow where anyone from an amateur to a professional can come to play in malaysia we would like to open the same club where people could come, uh, play sports to play basketball with a little clarification that 3x3 basketball is very popular there , where people play not five on five, uh, on the same court 3x3, and in general, this is an absolutely independent sport that is very popular in, we wish sergey good luck bigger. we see a growing interest in joint developments on both sides. projects to create mini satellites are already in the works. there are plans in

the area, renewable energy. on the internet, technology, the creation of a halal vaccine and halal cosmetics, etc. malaysia itself is a hub in the osian region. and this means that the products that are exported by russian companies. then it can be exported by malaysian companies to the entire region. the osian region is 660 million people. this is the same as europe and the eurasian union taken together, we know that it is far away. and there is hot representation of russia in malaysia, strangers in russia are cold. there they make dry moments and teach to be doctors. now my business is based on the fact that i have been organizing trips for malaysian students to study in russia since 1997. and to this day with my help more than 3,000 students. we went to study in russia, most of them studied medicine. in case you get hit. here in

the hospital chances are high that the doctor will speak russian with you? doctors with a russian diploma really enjoy great confidence here, but today medikov also cooks in malaysia itself, and even ready to share something with colleagues in russia , i would say that we are stronger than anyone else in matters of tropical medicine. we have a powerful group of doctors and scientists who study tropical diseases and their treatments. and if russian students need this knowledge. a good exchange of experience could take place. in a sense, such an exchange is already taking place. here we met with krasilnikova herself, she teaches pharmacology and researches new drugs and treatments for tropical lihov, she came to malaysia on a short-term contract, but stayed

here for 13 years. i always say that i am here , i came here to work. in general, it was interesting to try myself in another country, but with a different medical educational system, but with other opportunities. and this is in my opinion. it was such a good learning process. well, while i'm not tired yet, and i continue to study. today at about 1,500 students study well in medical technical universities in russia, but still this figure is not very impressive when we see that 15,000 malays study in the uk. the same number in the astral 8,000 in america, of course, the anglo-saxon countries look more attractive to malaysians only because

almost everyone in malaysia speaks english, but in russian universities there is practically no teaching of foreigners in english. on the other hand, our training costs significantly cheaper than in the west.

it will be the honest detective.

admissions

of foreign students is not only a profitable business. this is still soft power, promoting it to some countries. went even further opening. here its universities, even studying on the territory. in malaysia, a student of, say , a british university will eventually receive a british diploma, and the same is true with chinese, australian and canadian universities. but besides these students. there are still thousands of people who travel to western countries for various short-term internship courses. they become attached to western technologies and management, trying to reproduce them at home and making profitable investments in the future. we are not even approaching this yet, except that we have been standing on the threshold for a long time in russia and did not support the policy of opening branches of russian universities abroad. it seemed to us that it was very important that

they come to us and study here. now it seems that in russia they are thinking about opening our universities abroad, but only half of them have done this, for example, they will open our university in kalun. so who goes there to study? the heart attack is that very few people know something about russia, we hear almost nothing about russia here, but look what the anglo-saxons are doing. they are present in the spatiality of sports cinema in scientific environments, joint scientific journals are published , festivals are held, that is, they are always present in the minds of an ordinary person. we are absent simply as topics for conversation. without which it is difficult to generate interest in russia. so i say that the russian government should be more active. to promote soft diplomacy, it is necessary to create

our own institutions in southeast asia
