Welcome to the community, in addition to this forum there is also a Discord server which you can join to discuss all things Malaysia with fellow members of the community. You can join the Discord by clicking the logo below.
Be respectful and kind
Malaysia is home to many cultures, religions, and backgrounds, and so is this community. Treat everyone with respect. Personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or inflammatory language will not be tolerated.
Stay on topic
Please keep discussions relevant to moving to, living in, or working in Malaysia and the topics covered on this site. This helps keep information easy to find and useful for others.
Share experiences, not absolutes
What worked for you may not work for everyone. When possible, share personal experiences rather than presenting opinions as facts. Laws, visa rules, and policies change, so encourage others to double-check official sources.
No legal, medical, or financial advice
You’re welcome to share personal experiences, but do not present professional legal, medical, or financial advice. Always recommend consulting qualified professionals or official authorities when appropriate.
Be helpful and constructive
If you disagree with someone, explain your perspective calmly and respectfully. The goal is to help each other, not to “win” arguments.
No spam or self-promotion
Advertising, affiliate links, excessive self-promotion, or unsolicited services are not allowed unless clearly relevant and approved. This includes recruitment posts, paid services, or promotional links without context.
Protect privacy
Do not share personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, passport details, or private documents — yours or anyone else’s. Respect others’ privacy at all times.
Use clear and honest titles
When starting a new topic, use a clear title so others can easily understand what the post is about and find it later.
Report issues, don’t escalate
If you see content that breaks these guidelines, please report it rather than engaging or escalating the situation. Moderators will review and take appropriate action.
Moderator discretion
Moderators reserve the right to edit, move, or remove posts that violate these guidelines or disrupt the community, and to suspend or ban users when necessary.
