I lived in Southeast Asia for ~15 years.

MSG is just monosodium glutamate—the same glutamate you'll find in tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese. Decades of research haven't shown it to be harmful. Some people experience sensitivity, though it's rare and the evidence is mixed.

The backlash was largely cultural. The hysteria never matched the data.
