I think elderly New Zealanders do not know whether Malaysia is a city, a country or where it is located.
I found this out while waiting for a bus in the suburb of Christchurch. An elderly lady came to me and told me she had a son in Berlin. Although I had never been to that city I told her;
"Berlin is a nice place" I said
"Are you from Berlin?" she asked me excitedly
"No" I said " I am from Malaysia"
"Is it far from Berlin?" she asked me again innocently
The bus came and the conversation ended.there. She must have thought Malaysia is in Germany!
