I don't know if the breach involved fingerprint info or not, but all your info in your IC and its' chip are mostly leaked.\nWhich is why it is so lucrative to become scammer these days, and why so many targeted scam calls.\nGovernment agencies that rolling out all these services without proper testing and outsourcing development work to UiTM interns certainly make this happen every quarter, make no mistake.\nI can almost see the government as a whole is an open book for foreign intelligence to infiltrate any of the mission critical systems, or any high-ranking officer. |

titleTraveling to Malaysiahref/r/malaysia/comments/18w7syd/traveling_to_malaysia/num_commentflairlabelTourism & TravelheaderHello malaysian people. I am going to be visiting your lovely country in late february from an (probably) unknown country, Estonia(northern europe) with my family, 2 adults, 3 children ages 5 to 17. We are starting to put together a plan on what to do, we have 13 days.\nRight now, the plan is to fly to Kuala Lumpur, and explore the city for a few days. After that, it\u2019s pretty open, but i think we wanna stay at 2 other places. Right now, we are thinking: 1)somewhere in Penang 2) somewhere in Langkawi 3) Ko Li Pe/ Koh Lipe (let me know which is right) islands that i\u2019m aware are part of Thailand. We can pick 2 or it will get too fast-paced as we only have 13 days.\nPlease give me advice what do you think we should do, any advice? What places we should visit or what to do. I will do more research but as people write in Estonia\u2019s subreddit as well to get travel advice and they get very good insider information from there, i thought to myself maybe the Malaysian community is as nice as well and will help us out. Thank you in advance and give me all your advice and tips&tricks. Can\u2019t wait to visit!commentsIf the option is between Langkawi and Koh Lipe, I\u2019d assume the goal are the beaches. If so, skip Langkawi and head straight to Koh Lipe.skip langkawi unless you want a quiet place. there is nothing much to do there other than chill.Agreed. My langkawi vacation was the bomb due that i did absolutely nothing on the vacation. Just smartphone & weather.If you love nature get island hopping trips and the mangrove tour in LangkawiKoh Lipe is really chill too. Small island with no cars and you can walk the whole place in under an hour. Basically just skip Langkawi except for transiting there to go to Koh LipeSome nice places I like that are not usually part of common itineraries.\nIn KL, visit the TTDI Park. It has a playground and lots of monkeys and a few monitor lizards. You and your kids may enjoy it.\nIn Penang, visit the Escape Penang theme park. It has the longest water slide in the world. I also like to visit the Balik Pulai region. There is the Balik Pulau paddy field and the town itself which has a different feel than Penang's Georgetown.\nFor Langkawi, there's not really any secret. All the nice and hidden spots are usually well covered in online itineraries. For me personally, I like the Tanjung Rhu resort as there is a sandbar that is revealed in low tide which can let you walk out quite far into the sea.\nThe beaches and water in Koh Lipe are far more beautiful than Langkawi, so perhaps just head straight there.\nOther tips\nUse the app Grab for ridesharing and deliveries if you are not renting a car.\nWhile a lot of people speak and understand English, make sure to speak in simple sentences. Instead of saying \ say \Thank you! The theme park looks fun as hell. Do you reccomend renting a car for Penang? The distances from Georgetown to the theme park&Balik Pulai are about 25km..or could we do with public transportation.. i guess it depends how expensive it is to rent a car?\nAlso now that i\u2019ve been thinking, i think KL and Penang are a must. Haven\u2019t yet to research what it is there to do in Langkawi, but i think the plan to skip it and go straight to Koh Lipe is viable. If we were to do Koh Lipe, would you rather skip Penang or Langkawi?Not the commenter, but I would skip Langkawi for Penang easily. Car rental for 5 pax you can budget about RM 350-450 for decent sedan or SUV.Also on language- no harm in collecting a few phrases from a Bahasa Malaysia phrasebook or website. Conversational Malay is quite straight forward- there\u2019s a reason it was the lingua franca in the region for centuries. Numbers, one-word basic questions, and polite phrases like thank you, will get you a long way.Would recommend chenang beach in Langkawi for souvenirs shopping.Make sure to fill out the digital arrival card 3 days before arrival. https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/mainthanks will dofirst timer, do the tourist route\nunless you want to spend for private beaches skip langkawi, its a slow island and more so these days.\nmelacca is another common choiceIf it\u2019s within your budget both in time and money wise, consider Sabah. Get on the river cruise to see the monkeys and fireflies native to the jungles of Borneo.\nIf you like islands, check out Mantanani and consider Semporna.Will say just skip Koh Lipe and do another Thailand trip next time.\nKL to Penang, then Langkawi and end up KL for flight back home seems sensible.\nKuala Lumpur, 3 days. Stay near to KLCC. Explore the hustle and bustle of a city. Go to malls, central market, do a little shopping, try local food and enjoy the man-made attractions. It's a city, pretty much the same everywhere around the world.\nPenang, 5 days. Stay in Georgetown and enjoy the old colonial era charm. Attractions should be within walkable / bikeable distance. Take Grab (hired car) for daytrips to Penang Hill & Botanical Garden (same area) or to beaches in Tanjung Bungah / Batu Feringghi or even further to Teluk Bahang, National Park for more hike and beaches. Penang is well known to be a foodie city. Be sure to sample some of their best cuisine.\nLangkawi, 5 days. Langkawi is a big island and accessibility is poor. Getting a rented car is a must. Unless you plan to hole up in one of the many resorts there. I can't suggest which is the best area to stay. Luxury resorts are located just northwest of Langkawi airport. Cenang used to be good (and probably still is?) and have many affordable options. Kuah is a bustling town, nothing much but even cheaper hotels.\nThere is no airport in Koh Lipe, that means half day of travelling to somewhere just to take a flight. Langkawi has daily flights to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore for flight back home.\nSelamat Datang and enjoy your stay here.Yeah i think that\u2019s the best plan. It\u2019s just my mom said Koh Lipe is one of her dream destinations but looking at it it\u2019s very small so there\u2019s nothing else to really do other than enjoy the world-class beaches and what comes with it. And as we don\u2019t have much time i think the half day traveling with ferry and immigrations checks because of border crossing is probably food reason to leave it for another trip. It\u2019s just the paradise islands are kind of her thing.\nSince you seem very knowledgable do you mind giving me a quick insight about the prices? I know they can vary a hell of a lot, but generally in my capital Tallinn, in a normal not anything special restaurant the prices vary in the range of 12-18 euros per meal. So that\u2019s 60 to 90 ringgit. I imagine Kuala Lumpur is more expensive than Penang and Langkawi but could you give some ranges for prices over there? To just grab lunch or have a but of a nicer dinner somewhere?\nAlso about what does it cost to hire the Grab in Penang? Is it like a taxi for a one way cost or is it hired for a full day?\nLangkawi car rental i\u2019ll look up.\nThanks for the help brotherKoh Lipe is only 90 minutes away from Langkawi. I think it's perfectly doable. You have 13 days. I think just go there. Immigration wouldn't take that long.\nI don't think you need to spend 5 days for each place. Maybe 3 days in KL, 3 days in Penang, the rest in Langkawi/Koh Lipe.\nFood is fairly cheap in Malaysia. Decent meal would cost RM20-30. This is like if you go to restaurants each time.\nUse grab to go everywhere. It's like Uber. But if you wanna go at your own pace, then maybe rent a car is better. There are plenty of car rentals at the airport.\nHave you thought about exploring East Malaysia, specifically Sabah? It's only 2.5 hours flight from KL.\nIslands in sabah are so beautiful, IMO better than Thai islands. Check out islands in Tawau like Boheydulang, Mabul, Mataking, Sipadan.\nHeck the islands near the state capital, Kota Kinabalu like Sapi, Mantanani, Manukan are also so beautiful. Corals everywhere. I can't find corals in Thai islands near Krabi/Phuket.Eating out varies in cost. Kuala Lumpur city centre or George Town, Penang will set you back RM 50 - 80 per person for a nice meal in a proper restaurant, without alcohol. Unfortunately, most of the cost comes from alcohol. Even a shitty house pour wine will set you back at ~RM30 / \u20ac6.00. A nice bottle will set you back ~RM200 / \u20ac40.00.\nIn Kuala Lumpur or Penang, just do one way trips using Grab. You can even do Grab Food to your hotel, to save you time. If you are staying in city centre, would just suggest not to travel via cars during peak hours, just use metro.\nLangkawi is the reverse. Food expensive (same as Kuala Lumpur), alcohol is cheap. Langkawi is a tax-free island.\nIf your stomach can handle it and you have a local to show you around, street food can be cheap and good. Best street food can be found in Penang.You can take a 2 hour ferry ride to koh lipe from langkawi. Hop on a flight to langkawi from kl in the morning, get to koh lipe by the afternoon. Skip Langkawi and enjoy Koh Lipe. So so so much nicer than Langkawi, with crystal clear waters, fairly quiet, absolutely zero cars, and very chill in general. The island itself is small, but you can take snorkelling tours and go on tours around the islands nearbyMalacca and Penang would be good of you are into history.\nLangkawi is a good beach island with a feel of village/kampung. You should try it and go to restaurant cili kampung.\nAlso what do Estonian think of Dilbert cartoon?haha i think Dilbert isn\u2019t that popular in Estonia, so i don\u2019t think anything of it.\nDo you mean history in terms there are many historical sights to see? I mean we are a family with different interest, my little siblings wish to sit at a hotel by the pool or beach all day but the older ones like to see cool historical sights, see beatiful nature etc and be more active. Is it possible to do these half-half days in Penang as well where you explore Georgetown for half a day for example and the other half go to a beach? Ik it\u2019s complicated buy there basically needs to be a balance at all times or there will be crying kids or unsatisfied and bored adultsPenang has some historical sites, but the more popular historical site would be in Malacca (Melaka).\nClose to Penang you can also visit Ipoh (should be on route from Kuala Lumpur-Penang)\nNature-wise, you can head to Taman Negara (National Park), but its on the southern side of Peninsular Malaysia.\nNot sure if the islands are back open during February, but look up Perhentian Islands, or Redang Island if youre interested in the beach.\nFebruary 10th is Chinese New Year (a.k.a lunar new year), so the traffic will be heavier than usual. However, you'll be able to see different kind of decorations, and festivals everywhere in Malaysia."], ["Penang > Langkawi. More to see, more to eat, culturally explosive for the senses. Skip langkawi if its your 1st time to Malaysia, especially if u are going to koh lipe (better beach, better water)", "Thanks for the advice. Will take into consideration!"], ["Estonians are fun people! I know a few myself \ud83d\ude01\ud83d\ude01\nIf you\u2019re planning to visit during the middleish of Feb, expect some festivals due to Chinese New Year (starts 10 Feb). Don\u2019t forget to get some digestive pills since the food here is not exactly clean if you want to try street foods. Also, don\u2019t drink the tap water. Tap water is not clean here and always make sure to have mineral/boiled/filtered water.\nIn KL, hit up the aquarium in KLCC for some family time, shopping in Pavilion for luxury goods and you can even visit and hit up some bars for drinks at night. Alcohol is wayy more expensive here compared to Estonia though so be mindful of that.\nYou can visit Chinatown (Petaling Street) to walk around but make sure to keep your valuables safe like your jewellery and such.\nI would say for Penang, you can visit the Escape Park for some thrill and fun with your family. Also, you can go over to the \u201cArmenian Street\u201d for some light shopping or souvenirs, Georgetown and even go for an ATV ride.", "Thanks for the tips and reccomendations.\nShould we take the digestive pills in a preventative measure all the way through the trip or after something already feels a bit wrong?\nIn terms of KL the aquarium seems really fun, excited to visit. There\u2019s so much to do we\u2019ll try to make the best of our time but we\u2019ll definitely have to come back. East and north Malaysia will still be completely undiscovered, but hey, we all have work and school and can\u2019t do these multible month long trips to explore the entire country.\nEstonia you could explore in a week-pretty much. At least do it so that you\u2019ve been to all parts of the country, but Malaysia is big and actually i\u2019m really impressed, it looks to be very developed. I knoe it varies by state, but you have close naighbours doing much worse economically so great jobs on that also. Eager to see all of it", "I would say when your stomach doesn\u2019t feel too good after eating some street foods. Restaurants food should be more hygienic but better be prepared.\nAlso, download Grab in advance if you could. It\u2019s Bolt in Estonia and a lot more convenient if you are not driving/have a designated driver. Alternatively, you can sit the MRT to travel around in the city. If you want to buy tickets for travelling from KL to Penang or vice versa, you can purchase bus tickets online but it\u2019s kinda tricky with our outdated websites and such.\nFeel free to pm me if you need help with anything. I will be more than happy to bring you guys around KL for some popular foods if I am still here by then"], ["February huh? I you can delay a bit until March, then it\u2019s Ramadhan (starts 12 March). You\u2019ll have a chance to experience Ramadhan Bazaar.\nIf you can\u2019t then the other reply have a good itinerary for you.\n3 days in KL\n5 days in Penang\nThe rest in Koh Lipe."], ["don't go to penang, lots of tourists trap and the people there are unbearable. trust me, I live there.Instead of spending more time KL. I would suggest go to East malaysia and explore Semporna for like 3-4 days.February? Come back in march\nFebruary a lot people celebrating chinese new yearWe arrive on 23th of february, should be fine by then?27th onwards, by that time not too many people so u can enjoy moreHi Op! Here\u2019s a Happy 2024 to you!\nI\u2019ve been to Tallinn as part of my honeymoon in 2019 and I loved it! Hope you have an equally good trip here\nJust 2 things to note and a few questions.\nNote, it will be hot here by end Feb, I know it\u2019s still fairly cold in Estonia at the time so do prepare for a 50% or more jump in temperature also, do expect mosquitoes and other bugs to be abundant. Of course shopping centres/ malls will be largely big free but other wise do expect insects\nA few questions, what does your family enjoy ?\nNature ? Sights ? Do you plan to do road trips and drive around ? There are some fairly interesting smaller towns to visit (Sitiawan, Ipoh) if you are driving. Or do you plan to stick to the bigger cities and use public transport?\nFood ? How\u2019s your food palate? One advantage of Malaysia is you can find fairly authentic samples of neighbouring foods here (Thai, Indonesian, Viet etc)\nExperiences ? Shows, tours etc ?Hello! Very surprising and cool to see that someone was in Estonia for their honeymoon. Cool!\nIn end February, Estonia will probably still be snowy and temperatures below 0\u00baC, so the temparature jump will be big, but that\u2019s what we\u2019re also after\ud83d\ude05. We\u2019ve been having a cold winter since November and we need an escape. In terms os mosquitos and bugs, we\u2019ve been to places like Thailand and Indonesia and we\u2019ve managed to be okay, it\u2019s not been that big of a problem. Is it worse in Malaysia compared to these countries? I mean they\u2019re your neighbours, how bad can it be?\nIn terms of what we like, my little siblings like to chill by the pool or beach all day. We like it too, but not the whole trip, so we basically force them to come with us and do sightseeing, hiking etc. We really love South-East Asia\u2019s natural beauty and hikes are a must for us, but i think we can find places to hike pretty much everywhere. In terms of food, i think we\u2019ll give everything at least a try. I suspect estonian and malaysian cousines to be as different as night and day, but again, we\u2019re used to it. It\u2019s just that again, the little kids are pretty picky and they need to have their usually pizza/french fries/pasta from time to time, which will also be okay in touristy places i suppose.\nThank you for being so welcoming, can\u2019t wait to visitI'd say for beaches, skip Langkawi. There's little to do there. If you're into diving we have loads of great places for diving too.\nPenang is a must!\nI hope you enjoy KL, pay Petaling Street and Pasar Seni a visit for sure :)"], ["I\u2019d spend the 13 days in northern and southern parts of Thailand, completely skip Malaysia.", "\u2620\ufe0f\u2620\ufe0f\u2620\ufe0f\ud83d\ude05\ud83e\udd23"], ["A few other people are weighing in on Langkawi vs Koh Lipe and prices and such, so I\u2019ll just stick to tourist spots in KL\nKLCC is generally a must-see. There are guided tours up the Petronas twin towers as well, which can be good fun for a family. Alternatively, you can explore eating in the one of the restaurants up the towers- only Marini\u2019s on 57 is open at the moment, I think (open only for dinner) which is a high-end steakhouse but with a beautiful view of the city.\nPavilion KL is another shopping mall - KL is rife with them, but it\u2019s a nice one.\nI would check out the National Craft Complex, which isn\u2019t far from KLCC. There are huts featuring different local crafts that you and your family could participate in, eg Batik painting, pottery.\nNear Merdeka Square, there are some good parks- The KL Bird Park and Butterfly Park are both worth a visit. The Islamic Arts Museum is there too, which in my opinion, is better worth a visit than the National Museum. Merdeka Square itself is very pretty, historic, and a good picture location. If you dedicate a day in this are you could probably hit up several in the same locale.\nOther fun places to visit for shopping and the experience are Central Market, Brickfields (aka Little India), Petaling Street, Masjid India. Just be aware that if shopping, a lot of these places expect haggling as a matter of course- no need to go overboard, but unless it\u2019s explicitly stated on a sign somewhere \u201cno haggling, fixed price\u201d, no harm in asking for a better price/bulk discount.\nHopr you and your family have fun! Keep an ear out for drumming- you land during the tail end of the CNY Festive period (ends 25th Feb) so you may still catch a lion dance or two if you\u2019re speedy and run towards the source of the noise."], ["Get your vaccine shots in order and prepare deterrent against mosquitoes, there's a lot of way to get sick in Malaysia especially for people who aren't used to the climate\nALWAYS carry a water bottle with you or be ready to buy water always"], ["A lot of people have suggested good places to go. I'd like to add a bit to that:\nWhen in Penang especially, try Nasi Kandar (its rice with mix curry, plus chicken/fish/lamb. My fav restaurants in Penang wld be Hameediyah or Deen Maju). Nasi Kandar is served usually at a type of restaurant we call 'mamak' shops. Usually its 24hrs, staffed with predominantly Indian staff (Mamak is our term for Indian Muslims).\nAt restaurants esp local ones, don't call waiters/waitress 'Excuse Me'. Instead use Abang (older brother), Kakak (older sis), Adik (younger sibling) and if you're at mamak can call them anney (bro in law). Can also use boss. They will like that a lot and you may get better service haha!One of my favorite memories from when I visited langkawi was taking a small boat out to the caves and going through the caves, and also the cable car. However , this was more than 10 years agoI\u2019d give Langkawi a miss and maybe head to Pulai Tioman, lovely beaches, clear water and a great experience.Day trip to Genting Highlands, another to Melaka & pass by Seremban, 1 night stay each in Johor ( 2 if you want to go Singapore ), Ipoh & Cameron Highlands, 2 nights in Penang, the rest of the week, if in KL, can go to Putrajaya for day trip or another night at Taman Negara or if you live the beach, East Coast Pulau Redang, Tioman or Perhentian are great too. If you go from one state to another within such short stay, it will be very tiring so you have to pick and choose, depending on whether you want city or country or beach or jungle or entertainment or nature, etc. Good luck & have an enjoyable stay! |

titleIs it a good idea to use the public toilet as an emergency shower?href/r/malaysia/comments/18wdgxn/is_it_a_good_idea_to_use_the_public_toilet_as_an/num_commentflairlabelTourism & TravelheaderEdit: landlord just advised water will come back soon. Thanks everyone!\nI'm traveling in KL but my hotel building has no water access for some reason. I also couldn't find any gym nearby. But there's a shopping mall so I thought maybe I could use the water tap in the toilet cube as an option? I hope this won't cause trouble for the cleaner. The toilet area seems to be properly waterproofed with floor waste so I hope it's OK?", "comments": [["Don't use the shopping mall toilet please. There are some R&R places along the highways that have shower cubicle. Use that.yeap those are meant for long haul truckers and such so please use thoseGet another hotel. I\u2019ve never heard of a hotel with no water and public toilet is not made for public showering. Just a bad ideaGo to nearby RnR, they have showers there. Also, ask for refund and change hotel.If youre in Kampung Baru area. There\u2019s a gym near Hospital Kuala Lumpur. It\u2019s called as Body Hack. No need to enter the gym but there IS a toilet/shower room in there that you can useYou sound like you\u2019re asking because you\u2019re a considerate person.\nJust push as much water as you can down the drain and tell the cleaner so. Or wipe it dry with a lot of tissue papers.\nOther people do worse so you\u2019re ahead if you take the necessary considerate steps.Some surau and Mosque do have shower with them. Not all though, but big Mosque will always have as far as I remember.Most badminton courts and community halls have shower available.OP are you using an Airbnb?Yes I amFYI in the future Airbnb has basic necessity requirements. If your unit got no electricity or water, your landlord is required to give you a full refund or you can report them to Airbnb.Ask for a refund and get another hotel.Change hotelsRnR or mosque would be a better option. If truly desperate i think its fine for a quick shower but do explain to the cleaner.What kind of a hotel where there\u2019s no water access? Usually there\u2019s a backupLmao lmao lmao\nPpl done this since 2000s |

It does.Only if it's something real and action taken will it affect him. A bunch of people talking shit behind him doesn't affect someone, if you take it as it is.
