Malaysia Culture, Etiquette & Language Essentials (Malay (Bahasa Melayu) (Bahasa Melayu))

No tipping expected in Malaysia—sit-down restaurants automatically add a 10% Service Charge + 6–8% SST (Service Tax) on the bill, and hawker stalls/kopitiams are strictly no-tip. Boil tap water or use filtered/bottled water; all restaurants and kopitiams serve safe purified water and ice.
