The Malaysian currency is the ringgit, divided into 100 sen (cents). The currency is abbreviated both as RM and MYR. While credit cards are accepted in hotels and department stores, expect to pay in cash in rural areas.

Hotels and restaurants add a government tax of 5% and a service charge of 10%. Because of this, tipping is generally not practised in Malaysia. However, there’s no harm if you’re particularly generous or would like to be remembered by the staff.
