Dressing

You should be aware of Malaysian culture, customs, and etiquette before visiting there since the majority of Malaysians are Muslims and their clothing is frequently quite covert. The Baju Melayu, a loose, long-sleeved shirt worn over a pair of pants, is the traditional Malay outfit for males. When heading to the mosque for prayers, a white headgear called a Kopiah is worn. Along with the ceremonial attire, leather shoes are also worn, as well as a velvet headgear known as a Songkok. The Baju Kurung, a loose tunic worn over a long skirt and typically made of batik, silk, or sungkit material, is worn by women. The head is covered with an item referred to as a Selendang shawl.

Typically, they wear simple, modest clothing and subduedly colored outfits. However, people will always select the brightest outfits for themselves during holidays. The Chinese people's costume culture has an impact on this to some extent. Therefore, you need to pay attention to how to dress with your neck covered, wear long sleeves, and not display your thighs in order to be able to fit in with the customs and traditions of Malaysia (for men, you can wear a collarless shirt). As you explore Malaysia's temples, keep in mind that you should dress modestly and take your shoes and slippers off before entering any temples or other dignified areas.
