Malaysia is the home of satay, the tallest twin buildings in the world and thriving flora and fauna populations. It is also the home of a distinctive multicultural society: mostly Malay, then Chinese, Indian and indigenous people. Though Malay is the official language, English is widely spoken on the street. Partly because of multiculturalism, and partly due to the effect of harbouring high-tech computer industry, it isn't easy to get to the heart of traditional Malaysian life. But before you erupt into fits of tears, it must be said that few visitors really seem to care, especially once they've stretched out on some of Malaysia's fine beaches, or explored perfect, unspoilt jungle in the National Parks, or enjoyed a tantalizing meal in Kuala Lumpur's energetic Chinatown. Historical relics of Portugese, Dutch and British colonial occupation only add to Malaysia's charm. And a well-developed tourist industry means you will be able to enjoy all of Malaysia's highlights in comfort.

Be it the oldest rainforest, tropical islands with crystal blue waters, culture, shopping or just plain Malaysian gastronomical delight, there is something in Malaysia to suit everyone's taste.

Brief History

Pre-Colonial History
Malaysia started off as a trading port in the region, when in 1402 the Sultanate of Malacca was begun by Parameswara. The port flourished and became an important point for spice trades. As the Portuguese writer Duarte Barbosa once wrote: "He who is lord of Malacca has his hand on the throat of Venice."

Colonial History
The Sultanate of Malacca's reign ended in 1511 when the Portuguese successfully invaded Malacca after just 40 days of battle. An heir of the sultanate later established the Sultanate of Johore in 1528, as a successor to the Malaccan Sultanate, and sought to challenge Portuguese control. When the Dutch arrived in 1641, however, they conquered all and became the rulers of Malacca for almost two hundred years.

Malacca became a British colony through the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824. The British established their first colony in Penang in 1786. Slowly, they expanded their influence in the other sultanates in the Malay Peninsula. In 1874, the entire Malay Peninsula was colonised by the British, and thus became the British Malaya.

During the World War II, the Japanese army successfully invaded and occupied Malaya from 1942 to 1945. After the Japanese had surrendered at the end of war, the British returned and resumed its colonial rule.

Post-Colonial History
On 31 August 1957, Malaya achieved independence from Britain, signalling a new phase of its life. After 446 years of colonial rule and occupation, the Federation of Malaya, a constitutional monarchy government, was formed out of the 11 states in the Malay Peninsula. The British maintained Singapore as its crown colony because of its strategic location as a trading port.

In 1963, British crown colonies Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore joined forces with Malaya to form Malaysia. The Sultanate of Brunei initially expressed its interest in joining the federation, but withdrew due to opposition from some of its people and disagreements over the terms of merger. Singapore seceded from Malaysia in 1965 to become an independent country after a series of disagreements with the federal government.

In the decades after independence, Malaysia's economy was largely based on the agriculture sector and natural resources. However, the 1980's and 1990's saw Malaysia grew from an agricultural-based economy to a highly industrialised one.

Geography

Peak of Mt Kinabalu

Peak of Mt Kinabalu

Malaysia consists of two large regions separated by the South China Sea. Located at the centre of South-East Asia, both Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo have similar landscapes and climates.

Since it is at the equatorial zone, the climate of the country is tropical - hot and humid all year - with two annual monsoons: southwest (May to September) and northeast (October to February).

The highest peak in the country and the third in South-East Asia is the famous Mount Kinabalu at an elevation of 4095 metres. Tanjong Piai in Johor is the Asian continent's southernmost tip.[2]

The Strait of Malacca, located between the peninsula and Sumatra, is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world, with some 50,000 ships passing through it each year. [3]

Weather

As a tropical country on the equator, Malaysia experiences an all-year hot and humid weather. Daytime temperature ranges from 30 °C to 34 °C. Humidity is high at about 70-90%.

During its peak in November and December, the northeast monsoon (October to February) often floods the east coast of the peninsula and can cause flash floods on the west coast of the peninsula. Travel related activities on the east coast islands are closed at this time until the monsoon season is over.

The southwest monsoon (May to September) however, is milder because much of the rain brought in by the south-westerly winds from the Indian ocean have hit Sumatra in Indonesia before it reaches the peninsula.

Torrential rains are to be expected at any time of the year. As the saying goes:

In Malaysia, it doesn't rain. It pours!

Thick, black clouds could appear and form within the hour. Then it rains cats and dogs for about an hour, sometimes longer. After that, the skies will be totally clear again.

Getting There

The most common way for travellers to get to Malaysia is by air, unless they're coming from Singapore.

By Plane

There are six international airports in Malaysia, with the one at the nation's capital being the main entry point and the busiest of all.

The main airlines flying into Malaysia are Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia. Malaysia Airlines, the national airline of Malaysia, fly to major cities in the world, with over 100 destinations worldwide.

AirAsia is a low-cost carrier with Southeast Asia and southern China destinations. AirAsia X is a franchise of AirAsia that fly long-haul destinations of over four hours from Kuala Lumpur. They currently fly to Gold Coast, Australia and Huangzhou, China.

Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, fly from Koh Samui and Phuket in Thailand to Penang International Airport on turbo propeller Fokker 50 aircrafts. Each plane carries a maximum of 50 passangers only.

Some major foreign airlines flying into Malaysia include Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Emirates, Japan Airlines, JetStar, KLM, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways.

By Train

The Malayan Railway, or Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) in Malay, operates intercity train services in the peninsula from the Malaysian-Thai border all the way into the city centre of Singapore. Most intercity train services originate and terminate in Kuala Lumpur.

From Singapore: Train departs at the Tanjong Pagar station three times daily.
From Thailand: On the west coast, KTM train service starts from Hat Yai in Thailand to Malaysia. At the Malaysian-Thai border, get on a train at the Padang Besar station. On the east coast, train departs from the Tumpat station in Kelantan at the Malaysian-Thai border.

By Car

From Singapore: The most commonly used one is the causeway linking Woodlands in Singapore with Johor Bahru in Malaysia. The other way, also known as the Second Link, is a bridge on the west which links Tuas in Singapore with Tanjung Kupang in Malaysia.

From Thailand: There are multiple ways of entering Malaysia, with the more commonly used entry points being Wang Kelian and Padang Besar in Perlis, Bukit Kayu Hitam checkpoint in Kedah (west coast), Pengkalan Hulu in Perak, Bukit Bunga (New Bridge linking Buketa & Bukit Bunga) and Rantau Panjang in Kelantan (east coast).

By Bus

From Singapore: Buses to Malaysia operates from all over Singapore as there is no central bus terminal. Buses depart from HarbourFront Centre, Copthorne Orchid Hotel in Dunearn Road, Lavender Street, and Golden Mile Complex in Beach Road.

A cheaper alternative is to hop on a Singapore - Larkin bus from Kranji MRT or Queen Street (near Bugis MRT). This will take you to the Larkin bus terminal in Malaysia. From the terminal, there are many buses that go to major cities and towns in the peninsula. Fares from Larkin are in Malaysian Ringgit, which also means this could save you half of what you would be paying if you were to board a bus direct from Singapore.

From Thailand: Buses to Kuala Lumpur and major towns in the peninsula is available in Hat Yai in southern Thailand.

By Boat

From Brunei: Daily services from Muara Ferry Terminal in Brunei to Labuan island and Lawas (Sarawak). There are also speedboat services between Bandar Seri Begawan (Brunei) and Lawas (Sarawak).

From Indonesia: Ferry services available from Batam to Batu Pahat (Johor) and Johor Bahru (Johor); Bintan to Johor Bahru (Johor), Karimun to Batu Pahat (Johor); Dumai to Malacca, Muar (Johor), Port Dickson (Negeri Sembilan), and Port Klang (Selangor); Medan to Penang; Nunukan to Tawau (Sabah);

From Philippines: Ferry services between Zamboanga Peninsula and Sandakan (Sabah).

From Singapore: Daily boat services between Changi Point and Pengerang (Johor); Tanah Merah and Sebana Cover Resort (Johor).

From Thailand: Ferry services between Tammalang (Satun) and Kuah (Langkawi); Ban Taba (Tak Bai, Narathiwat) and Pengkalan Kubor (Kelantan)

By Foot

From Singapore: It is possible to walk from Woodlands, Singapore across the 1,056 metre causeway to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Many locals from both sides of the border do this when the buses they are on are stuck in traffic jam during the rush hours.

From Thailand: The entry points are Padang Besar and Wang Kelian in Perlis, Bukit Kayu Hitam (Kedah), Pengkalan Hulu (Perak), Bukit Bunga and Rantau Panjang (Kelantan).

Red Tape

Visitors from most countries are given a 14 or 30 day social visit pass upon arrival. Passport holders of many developed countries (e.g. Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United States of America, United Kingdom) are issued a 90-day visit pass upon arrival.

Liechenstein, the Netherlands, San Marino, and Switzerland have "Total Abolition" agreements with Malaysia for their citizens. Nationals from Israel, Yugoslavia (Serbia), and Montenegro are prohibited from entering the country without obtaining special approval from the Home Affairs Ministry.[4]

Non-citizens who wish to retire in Malaysia or make Malaysia as their second home can apply under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme. Successful applicants will be issued a multiple-entry social visit pass that is valid for up to 10 years, depending on the validity of the passport. While there is no minimum age limit for this programme, applicants have to conform to some financial requirements plus other terms and conditions. Employment is also not permitted under this programme.

Money

The Malaysian currency is Ringgit (pronounced ring-get) and the currency code is MYR (Malaysian Ringgit). Locally, it is known as Ringgit Malaysia (RM). One ringgit is equivalent to 100 sen (cents).

  • Notes: RM1, RM5, RM10, RM50, RM100. (Most RM2 notes have been withdrawn from circulation. However, it remains a legal tender.)
  • Coins: 1 sen, 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen. (1 ringgit coins have been removed from circulation and have ceased to be a legal tender.)

Foreign currencies are generally not accepted in business transactions. If the seller makes an exception for you, you will stand to lose on the rate that will be used. So get yourself ready with enough cash in ringgit.

Automated Teller Machines (ATM) are available everywhere in cities and major towns. ATMs are connected to the CIRRUS and PLUS networks, which makes it the best way to get your money.

Credit cards are accepted in many places. Some merchants might impose a minimum purchase amount of RM30 or RM50 for credit card payments. Some credit card issuers might impose a service charge for overseas transaction. It's best to check with your credit card issuer on this before travelling. As usual in anywhere you are, take note of what is being done to your credit card to prevent it from being cloned. It's wise to make a habit of paying at the counter instead of just handing the card over to the staff serving you.

Money changers are usually located in shopping malls, and the offered rates are usually better than what you could get in your home country. Exchange rates of Ringgit against some major currencies (as at 27 January 2008): USD1 = MYR3.25, EUR1 = MYR4.80, GBP1 = MYR6.40, AUD1 = MYR2.85, SGD1 = MYR2.25, THB100 = MYR10.00.

Tipping is not customary in Malaysia. When eating out, most restaurants will include a 10 to 15 % service charge into the bill. Restaurants which do not include a service charge do not expect customers to tip, so don't bother tipping.

Main articles: Peninsular Malaysia, Malaysian Borneo

Travelling around Malaysia is easy with different modes of public transport to choose from. On Peninsular Malaysia, it is possible to get around by road, rail, or air, while Malaysian Borneo, due to its size, geography and lack of good roads, is easier traversed by plane.

To travel between the peninsula and Borneo, air is the only option, as there are no ferry services between these two regions.

Work

Most foreigners who work here are expatriates posted here from overseas offices or headquarters of multi-national companies.

Malaysia has a reciprocal working holiday visa program with New Zealand. New Zealander youths aged between 17 and 30 can apply to join the program to work and holiday here in Malaysia for six months.

Language

Main article: Malay

The official language is Malay (Bahasa Malaysia - Malaysian language), which is in the same family as the Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia). It incorporates a lot of words from other languages from around the region such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Arab, Chinese, and English (mostly for technical and scientific terms).

English is widely spoken on the street, especially in urban areas. Although one can get by speaking only in English, it would be better if you could utter a few Malay phrases when speaking to the locals. Try to speak to them in Malay and see their faces change to a happy one. Sometimes, they might even go out of their way to help you if that's what you needed.

Eat

For many visitors, Malaysian food is one of the country's main highlights. Besides being absolutely delicious, it is also very cheap.

Noodles and rice are key to many Malaysian dishes. The country's ethnic make-up, which includes notable Indian and Chinese minorities, lends its cuisine a distinctive variety.

Top

Sleep

Like other southeast Asian countries, Malaysia is a great place to get by on very little. You can find beds for just a few dollars. If you are looking for something in the mid-range, you can find rooms/beds for around $15-$30 (US). 3, 4 and 5-star hotels are available in many cities, but these generally cost much more.

Top

Drink

Tap water in Malaysia is generally clean and safe for consumption. However, it is advisable that water from the tap is boiled before consumption. Bottled water is the best option, and it's easily available in stores everywhere.
Ice cubes are safe for consumption.

Non-alcoholic drinks which are very popular among the locals are Teh Tarik (aerated tea) and Milo, a chocolate malt drink from Nestlé. Many Malaysians are sweet-toothed, so the drinks prepared can be very sweet. When ordering drinks, always ask them to make it "kurang manis" (less sweet, in Malay).

Although Malaysia is a pre-dominantly Muslim country, alcoholic beverages are available for sale in many places. The government imposed a high duty rate on alcoholic beverages. The price of a 320ml can of beer range from as low as RM4 (for purchase in 24-can carton during promos) to as high as RM9 (at 24-hour convenience stores), depending on the type. There are three duty-free islands in the country; Langkawi, Tioman, and Labuan. In these places, a can of beer costs not more than RM2. In the states of Kelantan and Terengganu on the east coast of the peninsula, alcoholic drinks are not as widely available as in other parts of the country because of tight local regulations on the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Top

Health

Malaysia has modern healthcare services in both public and private sectors. Public healthcare, like most countries, is usually full with locals and the wait could be extremely long. For many visitors, private healthcare is the best option.

There are no required vaccinations for travelling to Malaysia, except for Yellow Fever, which is mandatory for travellers who come from, or have visited within the past week, any of the Yellow Fever endemic countries in Africa and South America. In these cases, a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for entering Malaysia. Vaccination against Yellow Fever must be taken at least 10 days prior to the date of arrival to Malaysia.

Recommended vaccines for travellers are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio (booster), Tetanus (booster), and Typhoid. If you're venturing into rural and remote areas, further recommended vaccines are Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis, Rabies, and Tuberculosis. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended for those visiting rural and remote areas of Sabah and Sarawak.

Top

Safety

Malaysia is a safe country to travel to, even for women travelling alone. However, just like any other place in the world, it is not crime-free so travel with some common sense of safety. Pickpockets and bag snatchers have been reported in busy places. It is recommended that travellers, especially women carrying handbags, take extra precaution in these places.

If you encounter problems or difficulties while travelling, you may seek the Tourist Police for assistance. They can be identified by the regular dark blue police uniform, a police hat with checkered stripe and a red-and-blue-colour badge with the letter "i" on the breast pocket. Tourist police usually patrol major urban tourist spots.

In case of emergency, the numbers to call are:
999 - Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade (Malay: Bomba), Civil Defence
112 - Universal Emergency Number for GSM Mobile Phone

All emergency numbers are toll-free. 999 calls can be made from any phone in Malaysia. Calls to 112 will be redirected to 999.

Keep Connected

Internet

Internet cafés are available in cities and major towns. Wi-Fi hotspots can be found in shopping malls, restaurants, food courts, and cafés. Many of these hotspots are provided free-of-charge. Internet cafés can also be found in cities and towns.

Phone

Malaysia is on the GSM 900/1800 and UMTS (3G) mobile network. If you have an "unlocked" GSM band mobile phone, you can buy a prepaid SIM card and use it with your phone here for cheaper rates instead of roaming here. Prepaid mobile SIM cards are available cheaply in mobile phone shops and 24-hour convenience stores.

Below are the area codes in Malaysia:

01x - Mobile Phones (x determines the operator)
02 - Singapore (special access code to call Singapore)
03 - Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor
04 - Penang, Perlis, Kedah
05 - Perak
06 - Negeri Sembilan, Malacca
07 - Johor
08x - Sabah, Sarawak (x determines the region)
09 - Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan

1-300-xxxxxx - Local call rate
1-800-xxxxxx - Free call from landline, local call rate from mobile phone

Area code is not required when calling a number of the same area code. However, it is mandatory when calling from a mobile phone.

There is no charge for receiving calls on any Malaysian phones. Only the caller is charged for the call made. However, if you're on mobile phone roaming service, you will also be charged for any calls received, by your operator.

To dial out of Malaysia, use the international access code 00 (zero zero), followed by the country code, followed by the area code (remove the preceding 0, if any), and finally the telephone number. e.g. To call London, UK, dial 00-44-20-xxxx xxxx; or to call Dallas, Texas, US, dial 00-1-214-xxx xxxx. For mobile phones, the plus sign "+" can be used as the international access code. e.g. Using the previous scenario, type +44-20-xxxx xxxx or +1-214-xxx xxxx and press the call button.

The country code for Malaysia is 60. To receive calls from overseas, that person will have to dial the country's international access code, followed by 60 for Malaysia, followed by the area code (remove the preceding 0), followed by the phone number. For example, if your prepaid mobile number is 012-1234567, and someone in the United Kingdom were to call you, the number to dial is 00-60-12-1234567. Those calling you from the United States and Canada will have to dial 011-60-12-1234567.

The emergency number is 999 and can be dialled from any phone, free of charge. The default emergency number for GSM mobile phones, 112, can also be used on a mobile phone, even without a SIM card. Calls to 112 will be routed to 999 centres.

Post

Pos Malaysia is the national postal service of Malaysia. Rates for sending a standard letter locally is 30 sen (20 gram) to 40 sen (up to 50 gram). International airmail has minimum rates ranging from RM1.00 to RM2.00, depending on destination. It costs 20 sen to send a postcard or aerogramme locally, or 50 sen to send a postcard or aerogramme to anywhere in the world.

Express Mail Service (EMS), or better known locally as Poslaju, is available for both domestic and international destinations. Domestic EMS has a next day delivery guarantee. International EMS guarantees mails and parcels to be delivered out of the country by the following day. The time required to arrive at its destination will depend on clearance by authorities and the postal service of the destination country. For most countries, delivery of documents can be done in 3 to 5 days.

Poste Restante service is available in all General Post Offices (GPO) in the country. There is one GPO in every capital city of every state, and in all federal territories. Mails sent from Singapore and Brunei will be retained for one month while mails from all other places will be kept for two months, after which if unclaimed, will be sent to Dead Letter Office.

Electricity

Electricity voltage in Malaysia is 240V AC 50Hz. The UK 3-pin plug is the standard used in Malaysia. European 2-pin plug can also be used on the 3-pin socket by inserting a screwdriver (or any hard object that fits) into the earth pin hole to open the live and neutral shutters. However, this practice can be hazardous.
