Important tips before traveling to Malaysia

Each country in the world has its own peculiarities, customs, and laws governing different regions.
Before you travel to Malaysia, we offer you some tips that you should follow to avoid situations that may disturb your trip:

• If you start your journey to Malaysia in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, always remember that there are two airports: KLIA and KLIA 2, one for low-cost domestic flights, and the other for international flights. Make sure of the airport from which your plane will take off, as the distance between the two airports is approximately an hour and a half.

• With regard to meals and halal food, Malaysian restaurants rarely serve what is not halal in all meals. And if the word “pork” appears in the menu, do not panic! It means “meat” and is a word commonly used in Malaysia.

Do not forget to try the “milo” drink, which is a staple drink in Malaysia, as well as tea in Turkey, and it is served everywhere. .

• Finally, a tip on local tact: If you want to point at something, point with your thumb, and never use your index finger, as it is a sign of anger and intimidation. Also, avoid touching someone’s head, even if it is out of friendship, as the head is a sacred part for them and they do not like to touch it.

Peace in Malaysia is often done by clasping hands to the chest, and the word salam means salutation.
