Obama's second visit to Malaysia: What do Malaysians say?
US president Barack Obama's second visit to Malaysia has brought various reactions from Malaysians on social media.
Obama has been to the G20 meeting in Antalya, Turkey, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gathering in the Philippines capital Manila before attending the East Asian and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summits in Kuala Lumpur.
Most Malaysians hope the world leader's visit to the country will bring benefits to Malaysia while others said they were impressed with Obama's speech when he attended the town hall session at Taylor's University on Friday.

Some have also questioned the rationale behind some netizens who had voiced hope to Obama to resolve domestic issues in the country.
Apart from that, netizens also raised the issue of traffic congestion in the capital due to the increased security controls in conjunction with Obama's visit.
Obama had arrived in Air Force One at Airport RMAF Subang, Selangor around 3.45pm on Friday.
