Malaysia中的安全性

人身安全

Petty crime in Malaysia is common. Ensure your bags are secure and your documents and personal belongings are kept safe at all times. Do not leave your belongings unattended. Credit card and ATM fraud is a problem in Malaysia, therefore, be cautious when using credit cards and only use them at reputable businesses.

Never accept food or drink from strangers, and do not leave food or drink unattended as there have been reports of drink spiking.

Use registered taxis only. There have been reports of robbery, assaults, and overcharging by individuals posing as taxi drivers. Always insist taxis use a meter. To report problems with taxi drivers call SPAD (Malaysian body regulating public land transportation) at 1-800-88-7732.

You will need your passport to travel between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.

Road safety in Malaysia varies. Motorcyclists can be particularly aggressive drivers. Road signs will be in the local language.

There have been fatalities reported on long-distance tour buses. Always travel with a reputable tour company. If travelling by boat, ensure that there are adequate safety standards. Do not travel by boat when there is overcrowding or poor weather conditions.

Exercise caution when participating in outdoor adventure activities as safety standards may not be adequate. If you choose to participate in outdoor adventure activities, always do so with a group or reputable guide. Consider purchasing travel and medical insurance that would cover these types of activities and emergency medical evacuation.

Exercise caution when visiting national parks. Be respectful towards the ethnic groups living in these areas, as well as the wildlife. Always register your visit with park authorities.

Penalties for drug possession or use are severe, including the death penalty.

Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country. Travellers should take note of whether they will be travelling during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
