Country information
Currency in Malaysia
The currency in Malaysia is the Malaysian ringgit (RM), one ringgit is 100 sen. There are 5, 10, 20 and 50 sen coins. The notes have the following values 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 to 1000 ringgit. Usually, you will pay with 1, 5, 10 and 50 ringgit notes. 100 ringgit notes are a problem, because most shops are not able to give change (especially with the hawkers along the street).
Electricity
The voltage in Malaysia is 220 volts. The wall plugs are only suitable for English plugs. It is therefore recommended to take a universal adaptor with you. Most hotel receptions will have them available to purchase or for hire and usually these special adaptors are also for sale in the supermarkets.
Etiquette
Take off your shoes when you enter temples or when you enter the house of a local Malaysian.
Always read what you are/are not allowed to do before entering the shopping malls.
Always check what you are/are not allowed to do at the entrance of a temple or other attractions.
Cover legs and arms when entering temples.
Tourists are allowed to eat during Ramadan, but you can ask yourself whether it is nice if all fasting Muslims can see you eat.
Point with your thumb and not with your index finger.
Always shake hands with your right hand.
Tipping
Giving a tip is not a common practice in Malaysia. The standard service fee (10% government tax & 5% service charge) has already been included in the total amount. It is not a problem to give a tip when you go to a Western eatery.
International driver's license
To rent a car, a motorcycle or a bike you will need an international driver's license, but sometimes they will allow you to rent a car with a standard driver's license and a copy of your passport (or even with only your passport). However, it is advisable to – if possible – take your international driver's license with you to avoid any risks.
Shopping
Shopping is a favorite activity for the locals. Even though most of them only do window shopping, they keep coming back to the various big and luxurious shopping malls – especially during the weekend with traffic jams around the malls during opening and closing times. There are shopping centres with often more than 400 shops. In general, tourists have the most buying power in Malaysia.
