| Tipping: | Generally, you are not expected to tip in Malaysia, but if you offer one, it will be appreciated. We suggest you tip a private tour guide around RM 20 – 30 per person, per day. At restaurants tipping is not required and a 10% service charge is usually added to the bill. Many locals round-up the bill and leave the change. |
