Free travel in Malaysia

The real charm of Malaysia goes far beyond Kuala Lumpur. The so-called Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand tours organized by domestic travel agencies are as fast-food culture as McDonald's, causing travelers to miss out on the surprises and fun hidden behind scenic spots and historic sites. If you go deep into the local society, you will find that Malaysia is completely different from other Southeast Asian countries. Self-guided travel to Malaysia is also very easy and fast, which is beyond many people’s imagination. There are many Chinese people in the local area, and Mandarin and Cantonese can be spoken. It is very suitable for novices who go abroad for the first time and try backpacking self-guided travel. Even if you don’t have a good foreign language foundation or foreign travel experience, you can still have fun and be safe as long as you plan well. These are due to Malaysia's rich humanities, natural scenery, low consumption and numerous overseas Chinese. You can take a bus and visit from stop to stop, or simply rent a car and drive yourself. Malaysia has an uncanny ability to soothe your senses, with its orderly and ever-changing landscapes - from stunningly beautiful islands and mountains to verdant forests and tropical jungles dotted throughout, and most residents living a life of leisurely ease. After arriving here, you can take a deep breath away from the noise and hustle and bustle of other places in Southeast Asia before heading to ancient colonial towns (such as Malacca) to stroll among the well-preserved buildings, or delve into the lush wilderness of Sarawak. Explore the forest, or dine in the food court with a wide range of delicacies from all over the world.

5. Local customs and regulations< /p>

Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy and is mainly composed of three major ethnic groups: Malays, Chinese and Indians. More than 90% of the Malays believe in Islam, the Chinese mostly believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and the Indians believe in Hinduism. The Constitution of Maldives clearly stipulates that Islam is the official religion of Maldives. Most Muslims in Malaysia are Sunni. The customs and habits of Chinese and Indians are basically the same as those of their ancestral countries. Malay customs and habits are very unique.

(1) Address

Malays do not have a fixed surname, so they are not addressed by their surname. Malay names can be divided into two parts. The first part is their name, separated by "bin" or "binti", which is sometimes omitted. The second part is their father's name. Men: Use "bin" (pronounced as Bin) in the middle, while women use "binti" (pronounced as Bindi).

In informal situations, the more affectionate names for juniors are Adik or dik (pronounced as Adie or Die), which means younger brother or younger sister, and the name can be omitted. Older men can be called Pakcik (pronounced Baqi), which means uncle, and women can be called Makcik (pronounced Maqi), which means aunt.

In daily situations, men are called by the name Encik (pronounced: 恩杰), which means Mr. So-and-so, and women are called Cik (pronounced by: Jie), which means Ms. so-and-so.

In more formal occasions, use Tuan to address a man respectfully, and Puan to address a woman respectfully. In addition, you can directly block someone's account with respect or add their name to their account. Such as Datuk (Datuk), Tan Sri (Tan Sri), etc.

(2) Meeting ceremony

The traditional Malay meeting ceremony is very unique.

When they meet, they will hold each other's hands with both hands and rub each other, and then put their right hands a little closer to their hearts. If you are not familiar with a woman, you should not just reach out and ask for a handshake. A man should nod or bow slightly to the woman, and take the initiative to give a verbal greeting. But now the Western-style handshake and hello are the most common greeting greetings in Malaysia, and can be used by Malays, Chinese or Indians without any hindrance.

(3) Dining

Malays avoid eating pork and drinking alcohol. When dining in a Malay restaurant, if you see a large kettle on the table, don't mistake it for a teapot filled with drinking water. In fact, the water inside is used for washing hands. Generally, Malays eat with their right hand, so washing hands before and after eating is a etiquette at the Malay table.

(4) Visiting

In Malaysia, unless the owner allows it, no matter whether you are visiting a Malay, Chinese or Indian home, you must take off your shoes before entering. When visiting a Malay home, if the host arranges to sit on a mat on the floor, men should sit cross-legged and women should sit with their legs to the left.

(5) Clothing

The traditional attire of Malay men and women are: men wear collarless tops, trousers, short waist sarongs, and "Songkok" hats. Wear leather shoes. Women's dresses are also made of tops and sarongs, which are as wide as robes, and their heads are covered with brightly colored gauze scarves. In Malaysia, except for members of the royal family, yellow clothing is generally not worn. At present, migrant workers usually wear light suits for the convenience of work. They only wear traditional clothes when they are at home after work, visiting relatives and friends, or during major festivals. In various formal occasions, men can wear long-sleeved badi shirts in addition to ethnic clothes or suits. The batik shirt is a long-sleeved top made of batik fabric with a thin and cool texture. It has gradually replaced the traditional Malay dress and become the "national dress" of Malaysia.

(6) Visit the mosque

Malay Muslims are generally more pious and pray five times a day. The mosque is a place where Muslims hold religious ceremonies. When it is open to the public, women must wear robes and headscarves, otherwise they will be turned away. You must dress neatly when visiting a mosque; women are not allowed to wear clothing that exposes their arms or legs. You must take off your shoes before entering the museum.

(7) Other taboos or etiquette

Do not use your index finger to point at people. If you want to indicate the direction, you can only use your thumb. Do not use your left hand when greeting Malays, shaking hands, giving gifts or receiving things. If you use your left hand to receive things or say hello, it is disrespectful to them. Malays are taboo against others touching their heads. Except for teachers or during religious ceremonies, no one is allowed to touch others' heads at will. Don't show the soles of your feet in front of others. Pointing your soles at others is an insult to others.

6. Prices and Supply

The Malaysian currency unit is the Ringgit (Ringgit, currency symbol RM), commonly known as the Ringgit. 1 USD ≈ 3.7 MYR. Airports, hotels and shopping malls all have foreign currency exchange centers where RMB can be exchanged for Malaysian Ringgit. Credit cards are widely accepted, but currently domestic UnionPay cards cannot be used for purchases or cash withdrawals in Malaysia. Horses have a complete supply of materials and the price level is higher than that in China. In particular, the price level of daily necessities is twice as high as that in China, but famous brand products are cheaper than in China.

During your trip to Malaysia, if you urgently need remittances from relatives and friends in the country, you can remit money to Malaysia through the Western Union international remittance service of the domestic post office. You must present your valid personal ID, remittance amount and remittance monitoring. Go to the local bank (RHB Bank and Bumiputra Commerce Bank) or the post office (Post Office) to withdraw money.

8. Work and Study

Chinese citizens who want to work and study in Malaysia should apply through proper channels. The normal procedure is: The Malaysian company or school with legal business rights applies for a position in advance to the Immigration Bureau and other competent authorities. After the position is approved, the Immigration Bureau will notify the Chinese embassy or consulate where the citizen is located to issue a short-term ordinary visa. After the applicant arrives in Malaysia, he will change his ordinary visa to a work or student visa. The Malaysian government currently only allows Chinese professionals to work in Malaysia, and other labor markets such as construction and service industries are not open to Chinese citizens. Chinese citizens should be more vigilant to prevent being deceived by illegal intermediaries, which may cause huge economic and mental losses. The Malaysian police, immigration bureau and other departments deal with the problem of illegal labor in China very strictly. After arrest, they will be submitted to the court for trial and sent to prison or detention camp.

For children born after intermarriage between Chinese and Malaysian citizens, if the father is a Malaysian citizen, the child will have Malaysian nationality; if the woman is a Malaysian citizen, the child born in Malaysia can apply for Malaysian nationality. It is more difficult to apply for Malaysian nationality if the child is born in a foreign country. Become a Malaysian citizen.
