THE PEOPLE

Malaysia is a truly multicultural country with a population of over 20 million comprising Malays, Chinese, Indians and a host of other ethnic groups. Bahasa Malaysia is the national language although English is very widely spoken.

CLIMATE & CLOTHING

Malaysia has an equatorial climate with relatively uniform temperatures throughout the year ranging from 32oC during the day to 22oC during the night. It is slightly cooler in the hill country areas and rainfall is common throughout the year. Light comfortable clothing is the norm with lightweight woolens required for visits to highland areas.

TIME

Standard Malaysian time is GMT +8.

CURRENCY

The Ringgit Malaysia (RM) is the official currency. Visitors entering the country have to take note of the currency regulations for restricting the import and export of the Ringgit Malaysia and other foreign currency out of and into Malaysia. Under these regulations, all travelers must fill in the Travelers Declaration Form (TDF) upon arrival and before departure at the airport.

The US Dollar is officially pegged at RM3.80 to US$1.00.

TIPPING IN MALAYSIA

Tipping is not a sensitive topic in Malaysia, where 5% of government tax and service charges may or may not be included in hotel and restaurant bills, but in any case, further tips are not expected. Tips should give you an idea of how to reward good service without causing anyone to "lose face" in Malaysia.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Visitors to Malaysia must be in possession of a valid passport or travel document with a minimum validity of six months beyond the intended visited period. Most nationalities do not require visas for social or business visits.
