Weather / Climate
Malaysia has a tropical climate, meaning the weather is generally hot and humid. Daytime temperatures typically reach around 30°C, while nighttime temperatures drop to around 26°C. It is advisable to wear lightweight cotton clothing to stay comfortable in the climate, as thick or winter clothing is unnecessary.
The monsoon season primarily affects the west coast (including Kuala Lumpur and Serdang) from November to March, bringing heavy rainfall during this period. However, rainfall is frequent throughout the year, and when it rains, it can be a heavy downpour.
Food / Dining
Malaysia is a food paradise, offering a rich culinary diversity influenced by its three main cultural heritages. The exotic traditional Malaysian cuisines may or may not become your go-to meals, depending on your taste preferences.
For those craving familiar fast food, Malaysia has a variety of international chain restaurants, including McDonald’s, Burger King, A&W, KFC, Starbucks, Nando’s and many more to satisfy your needs.
Phone / Internet
Being far away from home can be overwhelming and staying in touch with friends and family can help alleviate homesickness. On campus, there are computer access points and wireless connections, allowing you to stay connected via various calling and messaging applications.
For mobile communication, having a mobile phone is essential,., To avoid exorbitant roaming charges from your home country, it is highly recommended that you purchase a prepaid SIM card upon arrival.
Religion & Culture
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic society comprising three main races; Malay, Chinese and Indian, along with various indigenous ethnic tribes in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak). While Islam is the official religion, freedom of religion is upheld, and people are free to practice their own beliefs.
There are numerous places of worship, including mosques, churches and temples, which are open to visitors. When entering these places, you are expected to follow proper etiquette, such as removing your shoes and wearing appropriate attire.
Malaysians are generally friendly and helpful. If you ever need directions or assistance, don’t hesitate to ask —more often than not, people will be happy to help.
