The government of Malaysia wanted to promoted the tourism industry in their country and for some reason they thought having a motorcycle built on a little viewed American cable program would be a good idea. They paid for Paul Teutul Sr and the gang to come out to their sweltering country called Malaysia and it produced some very bad television. It was basically them getting a free vacation and showing what jackasses Americans can be when the travel to conservative nations overseas. Malaysia does look like a beautiful country and it deserved to be promoted better than having these rural jackasses in their country filming stupid shit like monkeys taking a shit on a boat. The country does have alot to offer and they did go to the Kumplar Towers which is an amazing urban architect wonder and shows the lengths that Asia has improved with all of their skyscrapers while America builds little and gives tax breaks to asshole business people who only build motorcycles for cheap cable programming.
The prime minister of this country likely made this unwise decision to promote his country's tourism through this lame American reality program as he appeared himself with a little speech in token English. All he has to show for it are these rerun episodes and an ugly bike from a country that almost has the same flag. The worst part of the program was when Teutul Sr decided to buy a dress and then actually tried it on as the flea market. Teutul looked utterly silly and laughable cross dressing on television and it was a really new low for this program and I imagine old time viewers of Orange County Choppers fled the show in droves after this Malaysian program aired some years ago. The show had long jumped the shark and there is not even another term you can have for this program fit now and the fact that the cable monopolies still run new episodes of shit like American Chopper is more of a testimony to power of corporations deciding what programs get funded and aired more than actual ratings.
