Malaysian Tipping - brief information about
travel in Malaysia.
The custom of tipping is not practiced in
Malaysia. To tip or not depends entirely on you.
Most hotels and large restaurants have already
included a 10% service charge in addition to the 5% government tax
to the bill (indicated by the ++ sign on menus and rate cards) so
tipping is unnecessary.
Taxis in major cities are usually fitted with
meters. The rates are currently at RM2 for the first two kilometers
and 10 sen for every subsequent 200 meters. However, there's a
surcharge of 50% levied between midnight and 6am.
