The New Year is coming soon, and I plan to travel to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Please give me some suggestions and travel strategies!

Malaysia

Language

The official language of Malaysia is Bahasa Malaysia, which is very similar to Indonesian. But English is a general business language. There are many Chinese in Malaysia, so many people understand Mandarin. There are also dialects spoken in southern China such as Cantonese, Teochew, Hokkien and Hainanese.

Traffic

Cars in Malaysia drive on the left. Foreign visitors are required to have an international driving license. Tourists entering Sabah and Sarawak from Peninsular Malaysia are required to present an international passport.

Time Difference

Malaysia and Beijing have the same longitude and both belong to East Zone 8 (GMT 8), so there is no time difference between China and Malaysia.

Voltage, socket

The voltage is 220-240V, the socket is a three-hole British standard socket, and you need to purchase a conversion plug.

Currency exchange

The name of Malaysian currency is Ringgit (Ringgit), abbreviated as "RM" (Malaysian Ringgit). 1 ringgit is equal to 100 cents (sen, also known as "cents"). There are 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents (commonly known as "1 jiao"), 20 cents (commonly known as "2 jiao") and 50 cents (commonly known as "5 jiao"). The denominations of banknotes are RM1, RM5, RM10, RM50 and RM100.

When you arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Malaysia, you will find banks, currency exchange offices and ATM machines everywhere. For tourists, the best place to exchange foreign currency cash is the "Money Changer". These foreign currency exchange offices are licensed and legal foreign currency operators in Malaysia.

Credit Cards

Common credit cards include VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Diners Club. Shopping malls, hotels and restaurants all accept credit cards, but small shops or stalls require cash transactions. When traveling to rural areas, you need to bring enough cash and some change with you.

UnionPay Card

Many merchants in Malaysia accept UnionPay cards. Major cities that accept UnionPay cards: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca, etc. Consumers holding UnionPay cards can enjoy different discounts and benefits when purchasing from brands such as Jonker Point and TPJewelry SdnBhd in Malaysia.
