[ailheybullecer1]

i dont know why Malaysia fighting to Philippines Before?...

[n0lram1]

@ailheybullecer1 because of Sabah pal, the Phils claim that it is part of their territory w/c somehow some valid claim. Malaysians are still paying the inheritors and relatives of the Sulu sultan up to this moment..

[18zacharydavid87]

[lagodaxnian]

@Michael25589 and this video is old data (2009) and i'm also made this video also in 2009..the latest data (2011) is Tokyo in the top (No.1 expensive cities in Asia) following : (2) Hongkong (3) Singapore (4) Seoul (5) Shanghai (6) Hanoi (7) Bangkok (8) Mumbai (9) Jakarta (10) Beijing

[lagodaxnian]

@Michael25589 i suggest you to look the source in the bottom of video..clearly, the video made based on ECA Data from London just look the link with click it...this video not making by koreans,asian,americans,europe­ans­,etc nd not based personal opinion..anyway,karachi is not on the list of top 20 (while my video show top 10),mumbai in Top 20 not in Top 10 and moscow is not part of Asia..

[Michael25589]

This video was made by a korean....so korea must be no.1 :D

[silviasboy]

U missed makati philippines dumb ass!!

[n0lram1]

I think Makati and Baguio City in the Phils are more expensive than some of the cities listed here...

[SuperDesi45]

I think the uploader is from south west asia

[Ianz86ify]

indon no.1 poor country in asia..

[junot470]

@Ianz86ify malayksian(malingsia) no.1 thief in the world ..

[dimasnurcahyop]

@Ianz86ify haha what you say?? I know that you from Malaysia.. Malaysia is not include in Top 5 Richest Country in ASEAN! Remember that!!

[Ianz86ify]

@dimasnurcahyop look..i don't say that malaysia is top 5 richest right? so make sure u read carefully before u say something..

[raykrislianggi]

@Ianz86ify The fact is our GDP is currently more than US$ 1,11 TRILLION which is 3 times richer than Malaysia. I'm sorry, what did you say again?

[AzimSobri]

the message down here i mean is{china, korea, and others)

[AzimSobri]

this is fucking stupid video.. why the most expensive city in asia is only chinese country(the country that the religion is buddha).. why the buddha country is most expensive ''''why,,,,why,,,,why?????????­????????

[AnAlakazam]

Mumbai? Tel Aviv?

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam if tel aviv would be expensive the greedy yahoudis would never go there

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 Maybe you need to get over you Nazis need to stop stealing Indian culture. The Swastika is a Hindu symbol and Aryans are Indians.

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam I give a shit about nazis, aryans and indian culture.. who cares about this bullshit

fact is that innocent palestinians get homeless, killed and oppressed by israel and nobody does anything against it, because the zionist lobby in america is too influencial

yes, if nazis stop stealing indian culture and JEWS STOP STEALING PALESTINIAN LAND, the world would be a better place

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 Who cares about the terrorist Palestinians who murder Indians in India. It is a known fact that they supported the Pakistani wars and helped train Pakistani Islamists to attack India. Jai Hind. 

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam yes that's a very good reason to allow israel to illegaly kill palestinians and take their land.. because the problems between india and pakistan are the fault of the people living in the west bank.. you're one clever guy

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 white western imperialist. go back to europe. sick of you people getting involved in other continents.

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam well I am in europe right now so don't panic.. but that's a great idea actually.. maybe a little factory in india hmmm with bad working conditions and low wages.. that doesn't sound bad to me

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 while you work on that, muslims will began colonising europe. oh wait it has already begun. france and england are already 7-10%. with high birth rates and immigration you will be a minority in europe. haha.

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam wow you got me there !! but you forgot that i'm not a racist like you, so i don't fucking care..

if i would be the last whte person in the world, i wouldnt give a shit

not everyone is a stupid racist like you.. fucking zionist

IRAN & VENEZUELA WILL PUT ISRAEL IN ITS PLACE ohh and sri lanka already put india in its place :)

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 oh you will care u jus dont realise it yet. you are a racist. im athiest buddy. you hate Indians. and sri lanka? half sri lankas population is tamil and they are always at civil war lol. who cares about iran and vezuala? they are good friends of india and india does lots of trade. no one will put indians. we are spready all over the world and continue to grow u cant stop us.

[R3dSt4r90]

@AnAlakazam

well I personally think that someone is desperate and unworthy to talk to, if he thinks that he knows more about me than I know.. if you already have to go even below the ridiculous level of this conversation, then we should stop

but thanks to you I learned that I will never again start to talk to patriots, because they are just stupid as fuck

just jerk of while watching the indian flag but stfu when it comes to.. i dont even remember the topic of our pointless conversation

[AnAlakazam]

@R3dSt4r90 you shouldn't feed a troll

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 y u say iran put israel in replac? israel no exist only palestine.

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 no, i'm very sure that iran will put israel in its place for all the war crimes.. america, UK and israel know that and are already trying to make iran look bad in the news and prepare to attack iran, but the world is not as stupid as the fucking zionists think.. venezuela, russia and hopefully europe will not tolerate the zionist attack on iran..

now israel exists, but the jews showed us that they DONT deserve a country, because they cant behave civilized

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 i hope everyone become muslim. ten peace wil come.

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 i'm sorry but atheism will win.. there will be small religious groups (christians, muslims, scientology, satanics.. etc.) but the majority of the people will be atheist, because every year there are more people who deconvert or get proper education

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 tat is goal of zionist. must nt let them win. allah (praise b to his name) shall not allow such a thing.

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 the goal of zionists is money and controle

anyway: if you tell me why i have a reason to praise allah, i will do it

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 n to destoy islam

because only allah (praise b to his name) gives peace

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 that's not very convincing xD

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 u no like peace?

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 no, i like justice

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 islam give justice

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 to women? to qafir?

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 yes they must all accept islam. then peace n hapy

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 but why is there no justice in islamic countries then?

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 there is justice. y u talking? i is confused.

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 name me an islamic country with equal opportunities for every citizen and no poverty, then I will agree with you, move to this country and become a muslim

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 those things no mattr. it mattr how u be acting

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 if these things don't matter in islam, then islam seems to be pretty fucked up

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 y u insult islam? islam is of peace. all it mattrs follow laws given by koran.

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 why is peace so important to u? and why does it matter that we follow the rukles of the quran?

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 theres is no othr way

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 communism.

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 communism not part of islam

[R3dSt4r90]

@invader5659 well that's quite a good reason to be against islam

[invader5659]

@R3dSt4r90 y u no like islam?

[ansata1976mb]

What is the name of the singers?? and the title of the song??

[lagodaxnian]

@ansata1976mb the backsound of this video is Katakoto no koi (sorry, I Can't write any japanese script),from the original soundtrack of Japanese Manga "Chobits"

[oyuakpanggaksidik]

I guess the person upload this research knowing nothing about ASIA geographically. To him/her, ASIA only peoples/countries with "rices eyes".

[AnAlakazam]

@oyuakpanggaksidik Yup

[shaharmos]

tel aviv

is most expensive in asia

[JeromeLeong]

@shaharmos lol , why u say so? because jesus went there before?

[shaharmos]

@JeromeLeong

becouse  mahmud al mabhuh lived there

[JeromeLeong]

@shaharmos no idea, if you say Shih Huang Di, i still know who he is. =o]

[Uranggokil]

what music did you put on this video? it seems Japanese music....

[mistresmirano]

glad kuala lumpur is not in the list. LOL!!! i only spend rm30 a day (public transport, foods) glad glad glad!! i am not proud if kl is the expensive city. bcuz i might lose the attraction from the tourist.

[MrShakil2011]

mumbie should be in top 10000000000000 maybe

[PIDMF]

hahaha....kuala lumpur is not expensive city

[PIDMF]

horee...jakarta is an expensive city

[yereke888]

Almaty 1st

[ryuzaki943]

i tink kuala lumpur is much more expensive than jakarta

[fareaqable]

kuala lumpur is more expensive then jakarta ! fuck this "!

[iAintNoIdiot]

u seem bias to the southeast Asian countries ... But most importantly u forgot to place DUBAI in this list.

[TourdeAlex]

this video is fake and gay

[daniyar331313]

Where is Astana and Almaty?

[Falarahschulz]

Yeahhh Singapore is an expensive country to live in. Really. Its hard to survive without money here.

[janelovesjbiebs30]

[ThePesilat]

whats this dude -.- Singapore is More Expensive then jakarta.. Where SINGAPORE???

[pokerlulzful]

@ThePesilat err its there, number 9 right before Jakarta

[jeyeykei]

there must be something wrong with this. Tokyo is considered to be the most expensive city in the entire world.

[xxEvilpekidaxx]

MALAYSIA NO 1...KUALA LUMPUR

[xxEvilpekidaxx]

penipu je lebih,malaysia no 1 la WOI.....yg len smua hmpeh

[Microglia1]

Where is SERBIA?

[supergilaz]

@Microglia1 its asia ....

[pokerlulzful]

@Microglia1 Wtf?! Go study your geography again- Serbia is in Europe not Asia.

[jackylin24]

How is Shanghai ranked lower than Beijing? Beijing is not on the economic level Shanghai is, whether in standard of living or real estate vaules.

[gaoasiadragon]

@jackylin24 Beijing is more expensive.

Current Cost of Living Index:

Beijing 51.52

Shangai 44.83

[XProflmfao]

lol at the Hong Kong, SAR mistake. It's Hong Kong, China. SAR just means "Special Administrative Region", which is added to Hong Kong and Macau for their official names, eg Hong Kong SAR.

[BonakiD24]

Doha and Dubai are Middle east they can't be in these lists....And those cities are in south east

[cintaestehmanis]

I am from Jakarta and yeah, I can really see Jakarta is growing so fast in recent years, but not happy to face the truth that Jakarta is now becoming one of the most expensive cities in Asia.

[pakatan69]

mumbai or new delhi are not included becoz homeless is the majority..and your economy is imagination than reality..and your people are extremely racists and aggresives. you have to be alert about your people rather than complaint about others..

you have 1,2 billions,but 100 million rich,200 millions homeless and the rest OK !!

[MrJefe29]

@pakatan69 dat statement economy is imagination, bro u know more than us abt our own country! i know ur knowledge is limited to watching television and pictures on google!

[kzyou2]

Korea??? Lmao!!

[dhksrksalem]

@kzyou2 hey south korea has 13th economic scale int the world dont laugh

[aphi1022]

why argue over statistics go there and experience it yourselfs dumb fucks

[BooN8GerM]

asean

1 singapore

2 bangkok

3 kuralumpur

4 manilla

5 jakarta

[cintaestehmanis]

@BooN8GerM it depends, to me (among ASEAN countries) : Singapore #1 in skyline, Bangkok #1 in tourism activities, Jakarta #1 in shopping and nightlife, Kuala Lumpur #1 in other categories besides mentioned before, Manila? Sorry, no idea. I've never been there. We ASEAN citizen have to unite! We can be great together. :)

[kahnovch]

Japan is the most expensive cities in asia. U are going to die if u stay there for too long. The price of rental is so high including the food. Don try to general korea, there are north and south Korea. I think that the north Korea is poor nation.

[randomstough]

This list is fucked up, please cite a good source (example: wikipedia....-.-) before making a video like this....

[pasa6370]

I think Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world

[kindboy1996]

I'm Korean but I don't think Seoul is most expensive. I gotta admit tokyo is more expensive, but seoul is still top 12 expensive city in the world

[MUANGTHONGUNITED]

man i think singapore number 1 in asia

where is Dubai ? and how Jakarta come in asean i think Kouralumper and Bangkok better than Jakarta

[hironom08]

JAPAN ROCKS!

[CookieAddictUya]

DUDE! uhhh im pretty sure mumbai and new delhi fall somewhere on this, and wut about dubai?

[MrKumail123]

what about bangalore the worlds I.T Capital ah??

[arieftheo90]

singapore suppose to be no 3 after tokyo

[PredatorPsycho]

Maybe Istanbul ?

[derekjoe]

I had lived in Beijing for 10 years, and it's definitely not that expensive as I know.

[chenjinchai]

In your opinion?



[chenjinchai]

In your opinion?



[PuteraMeor]

Kuala Lumpur is the best overall though

[mc731314]

@PuteraMeor LOL, Malaysia? You wish! Are you kidding? Malaysis is still a third world country.

[safiafairy]

@mc731314 hhhhHahahaah malaysia isnt a third world country. it has the world's third tallest buildings in the world for God's sake. and its the 9th most visited country, surely it benefits the economy. and malaysia is in the top 20 most expensive cities in asia ;)

[mc731314]

@safiafairy In your dream! Malaysia is still poor. Having the 3rd tallest buildings doesn't mean anything - Tower 1 built by Japan, Tower 2 built by Korea. Vietnam has the 2nd tallest building in Asia. LOL. Yeah considering all those natural resources you guys have along with tourists, you have a lot of advantages but you still are very poor. Malaysians are very lazy and are not smart. You guys don't have that strong will and work ethics like east Asians like China, Japan, Korea.

[safiafairy]

@mc731314 "You guys..." what makes you think im Malaysian?? I happen to love that country. whats your problem hating on malaysia? what has it done to you? whatever they did, it must have screwed you over.

[mc731314]

@safiafairy LOL, now I'm 100% sure you're Malaysian, not only that You're Malaysian, you're very insecure of your background. I don't even care about Malaysia/Malaysians, just have no interests, no dislikes, not particularily liking it either, no more, no less. I'm just waking you up. Just telling you that Malaysia is still poor- replying back to your comment that's all. I didn't think that you would KEEP replying back to me though, what a waste of time. Have a good day!

[JeromeLeong]

@mc731314 There are some misunderstanding in your comments, Malaysia is a diversify country therefore there are lots of races as well. i disagree towards your comment which stated that "Malaysians are very lazy and not smart people" Therefore i would like you to do research before posting such comments.

[JeromeLeong]

@safiafairy Be reminded that, Malaysians economy are mostly controlled by Asians like Chinese, Without the Chinese i Think Malaysia would be worst than Africa. Good example, look at Singapore. For your info, Malaysia is still 3rd world country.

[QaaTaR911]

i think u r forget 2 citeis u forget DOHA and DUBAI

[lagodaxnian]

@QaaTaR911 how come included these 2 cities,while no one of these cities considered in the Top 10..lol

[SHEIKH3093]

fuck u dude can't u look at the big word ASIA!

[lagodaxnian]

@SHEIKH3093 and fuck u too..cause i'm not making this ranks.LMAO can you see my info box ? that's the source..your cities is luxury not expensive..stupid !!

[Zachyboy80]

@lagodaxnian - yea and since when Jakarta is more expensive then Kuala Lumpur??? The person who comes up with this list is an idiot! If you dont know how to rank dont prank!!!

[BonakiD24]

@QaaTaR911 They are in asia but not close to this cities... They are like in the middle......But they're rich though

[gripgrlz]

tokyo is MUCHHHHHH more expensive than seoul! seoul is bargain compared to tokyo! ive been to both places, so i would know!

[virenvpatel]

where is mumbai,,,,,,its one of the worlds most expensive city .

[lagodaxnian]

@virenvpatel, mumbai maybe in the top 20 not in top 10..this ranks based on ECA International,in London.

[gotsoul123]

@virenvpatel 60% of mumbai is slums....

[kahnovch]

@gotsoul123

who said so. If mumbai is 60% is slum, the 4 riichest men in te world live there. You are very wrong. 25% of indian india citizen are lvin in poverty(CIA).U LIAR.

[gotsoul123]

@kahnovch um no look it up whoever you are. first of all, the four richest men in the world do not live in mumbai. the richest man in india (who is also the 3rd richest man in the world) lives in DELHI not MUMBAI......have you ever been to mumbai? clearly not......

[kahnovch]

@gotsoul123

Whatever. i dont bother much whrw the rich people live. I hv been to mumbai. I dont bother trying to find rich people. I am not a stalker. How about u? Do u know whre is the second richest men in southeast asia live? Clearly u dont know but u know it is in malaysia. I am not an indian citizen,so i dont know whre the people are livnf. Mr.knowitall

[gotsoul123]

@kahnovch ummmm youre clearly just upset bc you were wrong. but whatever

[ajishoco]

@virenvpatel ,,,dude if you find mumbai expensive than im sure you stay in some remote town in India.Which city in the world can you eat breakfast for less than a dollar and also travel 20 km in a taxi for less than $10. In mumbai only property prices are expensive...yes if there is a poll for worlds filthiest city or maybe most corrupt city or even the city with most traffic it will be featured on the list ....right on top that is.Does that make you happy.

[choejann]

Hmm, I think all most expensive cities in Asia are in Japan and Korea, I don't think the living price is so high in Beijing since I m living there. Life in Beijing in very cool! Because when you earn 3000euros per month and buy things with only 1/3 - 1/10 of the price in europe, you live like a king :P

[Iamdmunk]

what is SAR belong for "honkong,SAR"??

[lagodaxnian]

meaning "Special Administrative Region" in People Republic of China..

[sintaromaeta]

but...most expensive city in Indonesia is Balikpapan,east Borneo......not Jakarta.....!!!!!

[amirazrai]

hey man, jakarta is weigh cheaper than kuala lumpur malaysia, come on this is all just bullshit.

[lagodaxnian]

this is the new list(2009).the answer why KL not include as expensive city in asia,it's because your economy very worst in 2009.one of the worst economy in Asia.plus,your city population not large like Jakarta.KL population only 1.6 million people,while Jakarta has population more than 8 million.7 times much more bigger than KL..and all the cities in this video has large population.

[azizah1303]

Udah pernah ke Hong kong dan Singapore, emang lebih mahal dari Jakarta, mungkin tergantung nilai kurs mata uangnya juga, tapi Indonesia untuk beberapa hal memang menjadi paling termahal untuk beberapa produk yang justru lebih kearah sosial...sedih, anyway good video ^_^

[POLDUMDUMAYA]

ei dude where is dubai and abu dhabi listed, im curious about it, dont want to research, just tell me please..lol

nice vid collection ..ur doin great already...

ur an EXPERT!!!!

[lagodaxnian]

Dubai and Abu Dhabi in UAE isn't richest cities,but luxurious cities i think..that's why these 2 cities do not include at that list.

[POLDUMDUMAYA]

oh, i see,

most of the wealthiest asian cities are in north east asia , im tired of waiting for ASEAN cities to be on top, spec Jakarta & Manila..when will that be, arghhh...d 2050 prediction is too long, im already 50-60 yrs old by then,,lol

[zhen86]

@POLDUMDUMAYA

ASEAN got one citiy

[Gaara15]

@POLDUMDUMAYA well sg is already in top 3 . so yeah .

[lagodaxnian]

@POLDUMDUMAYA thumbs up...like this comment..

[proudtobepinoy1]

so Seoul is the most expensive....i thot it was Tokyo...expensive base on wat??

[lagodaxnian]

seoul had captured "the crown of" most expensive cities of Tokyo since the last 3 years. That happens because the appreciation of the won's value rose 13% against the U.S. dollar in the last 4 years. "The cost of living in the capital of south korea is almost 10% more expensive than Tokyo", said Lee Quane, General Manager of ECA to Hong Kong.

[NanzMediaNetwork]

i <3 KL

btw, what song was dat?

[lagodaxnian]

the backsound of this video is Katakoto no koi (sorry, I Can't write any japanese script),from the original soundtrack of Japanese Manga "Chobits".

[kanazef]
