A bit out of scope of the topic... I entered Malaysia from Singapore once, got to pay bribe of 100USD to pass the immigrations just because they didn't like my passport(Though my country is in no-visa list for Malaysia). That was a terrible experience because after living in Singapore for 3 years, I forgot about corruptions and such stuff. I openly declared the amout of each currency on me and they insisted that I give all my USD and CHY. I could have easily go back to Singapore, but I had another important flight to catch from KL to Beijing, so I would have lost more by returning to Sg than by bribing the officer. On the return I entered Malaysia from KLIA and it was smooth. I have many friends from Malaysia and I find their people nice and friendly, but after that incident, I just no longer feel like visiting Malaysia.
- einhverfr 15y agoWhen I entered through KLIA, I wasn't asked about currency. The only customs/immigration questions were agriculture and health quarantine related. There were no further customs checkpoints either. They did take my fingerprints though. No questions about how much liquor you are bringing in or anything. Exiting was more interesting. There they ask you to declare money you are taking out of the country and they don't let you take very much out. Moreover they will only let you buy up to 2 L of liquor duty free because of Malaysian customs. And yes, they take your fingerprints again. Maybe the rail crossings are different?
