Language

The official language of Kuala Lumpur is Bahasa Malaysia. However, many residents are well-versed in English and speak it as their first language. It is widely used in business and education sectors. Cantonese and Mandarin languages are spoken by the Chinese population. Other languages are Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Punjabi, etc. spoken by the Indian minority and Minangkabau and Javanese spoken by the Indonesians.

Time

Malaysian Standard Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+8).

Currency and Credit Cards

The Malaysian currency is called the Ringgit. Ringgit Symbols: MYR (in currency exchange), RM (to express prices). One Ringgit is divided into 100 Sen. Malaysian coins come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 Sen denominations in a variety of different materials and finishes. Banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Ringgits. The exchange centres can be found at airports, most hotels, and in large shopping centres. The popular international credit and debit cards, such as VISA, MasterCard, Cirrus and Maestro, are generally accepted nationwide in larger establishments. Recommend you tell your bank in advance that you’re travelling abroad so that your card isn’t blocked, it can help avoid an embarrassing and awkward situation later. Please also make sure you have some cash on you, too, just in case of any issue.

Electricity

Malaysia utilizes Type G power sockets (three-pin rectangular plug). The standard official voltage is 230 V with a frequency of 50 Hz. We advise bringing a universal adapter if your devices use different plug types.

Business Hours

• Government Offices: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM (Weekdays only).

• Banks: 9:15 AM – 4:30 PM (Monday to Friday).

• Shopping Malls: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Daily).

• Dining & Nightlife: KL is famous for its round-the-clock food culture; many local eateries and street markets operate 24/7 or remain open until midnight.

Shopping

Kuala Lumpur is known as a Shopping Heaven. Especially in the central district of KL (also known as KLCC - Kuala Lumpur City Center), you can find a variety of shopping malls. The following malls are favorites, and certainly worth a visit: Pavilion KL, Midvalley Mega Mall & The Gardens, Berjaya Times Square, Suria KLCC and 1 Utama. Most malls are located at the Bintang Walk, along Jalan Bukit Bintang. Shopping in KL seems like an activity no one will ever get fed up with. Most malls are opened daily between 10 am and 10 pm. The only downside is that after a few visits every mall will start to look like the one before. Many of the shops in one mall can also be found in others. Fortunately, after a while you will know exactly where to shop. There are several sales yearly; these usually take place in August, May and December.

Tipping & Taxes

Tipping is not traditional or expected in Malaysia. Most restaurants and hotels automatically include a 10% service charge plus a 6% service tax (SST) on the bill. For exceptional service, rounding up the bill or leaving the change is appreciated but entirely optional.
