This guy’s YouTube account is a treasure trove of old Malaysiana

Holy cow. We’re not sure what particular brand of OCD is driving the person behind the abgcantik YouTube account, but we’re thankful for his fetish. 

To date, the YouTube channel has uploaded 554 clips from Malaysian TV ranging back to the 80s and early 90s, with a smattering of 21st Century content for good measure. It’s not just TV shows abgcantik is curating online: have a favourite shampoo commercial you’ve missed? How about TV3 station IDs from when it first started airing? Or the daily listing of the day’s programming, back when you couldn’t click a button on your Astro remote to see what’ll be on after dinner?

It’s pretty much all there, and we hope the collection grows, bless abgcantik’s heart. Also, you know, we hope he doesn’t get shut down for copyright infringement, but yeah. Load up the DeLorean and spend an hour or three reliving the last three decades.
