Malaysia firmly enforces its strict drug laws and their legislation imparts a mandatory death penalty for those convicted of drug trafficking. Any person who is arrested with 15 grams (1/2 ounce) of heroin or 200 grams (seven ounces) of marijuana in their possession are alleged by law to be trafficking in drugs. Leave a Comment

The ringgit is the currency of Malaysia and is also known as the Malaysian dollar. 1 dollar equals 100 cents. You can change money and travellers cheques at banks and moneychangers. Hotels which can change money are not usually as good on their rates as banks. Credit cards are usually accepted in hotels and department stores. Cash however, is needed in the rural areas.
Banks are usually open from 10 a.m. up to 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday and 9.30 a.m. up to 11.30 a.m. on Saturdays. Leave a Comment
