01<\/td>\nDo not drink tap water. It may be safe in some regions, but best to stay on the safe side and only drink bottled water or fill your reusable at your hotel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
02<\/td>\nRespect the dress code. For women, bring along a scarf. If you intend on visiting any of the beautiful mosques, you will need to cover your hair. Entry to the mosque will not be allowed if you are not dressed respectably. Shorts and short skirts won’t be allowed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
03<\/td>\nRespect the culture. Even though Malaysia is a liberal country in regards to dress, it is still advisable to dress more modestly. Super short shorts and revealing tops will get you some unwanted attention.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
04<\/td>\nDownload the Grab application for booking your ride. Grab is an alternative to taxis and the Southeast Asian equivalent of Uber.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
05<\/td>\nDriving is on the left-hand side of the road as in the United Kingdom, so it’s is necessary to keep your wits about you for those first days driving in Malaysia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
06<\/td>\nMalaysia has some of the most harshest drug laws. Don’t get caught with drugs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
07<\/td>\nHomosexuality is illegal in Malaysia. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a low profile and refrain from public displays of affection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
