- Currency: The currency in Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Make sure to exchange currency at authorized currency exchange offices or use ATMs.

Malaysian Culture
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multicultural country with diverse customs and traditions. Respect local customs, such as removing your shoes before entering someone's home and covering your shoulders and knees when visiting temples or mosques. Be mindful of local customs and sensitivities. Dress modestly when necessary, and avoid public displays of affection. It's also respectful to ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially in rural areas. Malaysian arts and crafts reflect the country's cultural diversity. Traditional dances like the joget and wayang kulit shadow puppetry are important cultural expressions. Batik, songket, and woodcarvings are examples of traditional crafts. Malaysians are known for their warm hospitality and friendliness towards visitors. It's common to receive offers of food and drink when visiting someone's home.
Malaysian Cuisine
Malaysian cuisine is a delicious blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and other influences, known for its aromatic spices, bold flavors, and diverse dishes. Staples like rice and noodles are complemented by fragrant coconut-based dishes like nasi lemak and spicy soups like laksa. Malaysian cuisine is diverse and delicious, but if you have a sensitive stomach, be cautious with street food and tap water. Stick to bottled water and eat at reputable restaurants and food stalls. Sambal, a spicy chili paste, adds zest to many meals, while satay skewers and rich curries are popular choices. The cuisine's complexity and variety make it a true culinary adventure for food enthusiasts.
