West Malaysia or East Malaysia/Borneo?
Personally I would prefer East Malaysia, where there is more cultural aspects and of course, much lesser racial discrimination faced in the Semenanjung. Its a very 'different' Malaysia there.
How do Malaysians feel about this?

Give me Kuching anytime. The city adopts a "laid back" style - we go about doing our business in a leisurely pace, so less stressful. Although we have traffic jam, it mostly occurs during rush hour & even then, not as bad as in KL, Penang or JB. Plenty of greens & parks in the city centre, the latest addition being Malaysia-China Friendship Park. The Waterfront, Padang Merdeka, Sarawak Museum & surrounding areas are popular with locals & tourists alike. The natives (Iban/Bidayuh) formed the majority of the population followed by Malay, Chinese but very few Indians. That's why we don't declare Deepavali holiday here. All races get on well with each other. Why not come to Kuching & see for yourself: 3D/2N is sufficient although if you wish to visit a longhouse, you may have to add in an extra day.

I live in KL and I love it here. Although I am not Malaysian, I know a lot of people from Sabah and Sarawak who have moved to KL due to lack of advancement in East Malaysia. Although East Malaysia is culturally rich and has retained most of it values and heritage, I'd still prefer the hustle and bustle of KL!

I was born in the East, stayed there for 11years, came to west malaysia, totally regret moving.
I think the west part is rushing for country development, and because of that we face so many problems, including racial issues.
I don't really know much, i've been living in the west part for only 7 years, & im just a kid. See what the adults have to say.
goodluck.

East Malaysia like Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are beautiful and laid-back. However, I found these 2 cities have problem with petty crimes and illegal immigrants.
I prefer Penang and Kuala Lumpur or even Malacca.

Discrimination?
It happens everywhere regardless you in Asia or Europe even in the North America and Africa.
Therefore, I would say, I do not mind living anywhere in the Malaysia. It a matter of preferences and priorities! The most importantly, find your surviving skills because discrimination happens anywhere.
