Tipping Culture
Tipping is not expected but appreciated
Tipping is generally not an expectation in Malaysia, except maybe in high-end hotels or restaurants, but it is appreciated. It often consists in leaving some small change in local currency, the Malaysian Ringgit (RM). Don’t worry too much about tipping in Malaysia.
