VLOGGER Nas Daily has finally posted a video about Malaysia after being banned from the country in 2018.
The Israeli citizen has previously called Malaysia the' forbidden land' after being turned away at the Singapore border. Malaysia and Israel do not have diplomatic relations.
This time around, he came prepared with a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport which he bought for US$150,000 (about RM711,000), reported Says.
The video, titled 'I Finally Went to This Country', is available on Facebook and YouTube. The content creator, whose real name is Nuseir Yassin, wrote in the caption: "I bought a whole new citizenship just to show you this country."
In the just under five minutes video, Nas shows different locations in Malaysia. He points out the heritage buildings in Melaka, while taking in the country's natural beauty, diversity and cuisines.
"Everything here is 70% cheaper [than] Singapore."
"Forget about politics, this country is unique," he says
"For a country I was banned from, I was shocked at how friendly everyone was." "But on my way out of the country, as I got one more stamp in my passport, I learned a valuable lesson. Governments are different from people. Governments may ban each other. Governments may fight each other, but people do not have to. Deep down inside, people just want to connect," he concluded
It was reported that Immigration Department director-general Dzaimee Daud said Nas entered Malaysia using a Caribbean passport on October 15.
Khairul said Nas holds two citizenships, Israel and Saint Kitts and Nevis, reported Free Malaysia Today. "The individual entered and exited Malaysia using the same passport (Saint Kitts and Nevis) and it is understood that he entered Singapore using an Israeli passport," he said.
“He did not have any immigration offences. Therefore, he was permitted to enter (the country) on a tourist visa upon his arrival." – The Vibes, October 26, 2022
