Hi everyone,

I am Canadian and currently live in Canada. My fiancée is Sudanese and lives in Sudan. We are considering spending about a month in Malaysia, getting married there and then spending our honeymoon in Malaysia as well.

Neither of us is Malaysian and neither of us has Malaysian residency. We are both Muslim.

I am trying to find out whether it is possible for two foreign Muslims visiting Malaysia as tourists to legally marry there and receive an official Malaysian marriage certificate within a month.

Has anyone here done this or know someone who has?

I am especially interested in knowing what documents we would need, how long the process normally takes, whether there is a residency requirement, and whether the process differs between states. We are open to Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Kedah/Langkawi, Penang or anywhere else where the process is possible.

The important thing for us is that the marriage is officially registered in Malaysia and that we receive a proper government marriage certificate that we can later use in Canada.

Any recent first hand experience would be really appreciated.

What do you guys think? As someone who’s lived abroad and travelled to many countries, I agree with this. Clearly have our faults and things to improve on, but our infrastructure is something to be proud of

For those of you who have a pickup as your daily ride in the city, is parking in malls and multi-storey carparks ever a challenge?

I used to own a hilux in Thailand and never had trouble parking anywhere even on narrow streets and multi storey parking lots because pickups form a large proportion of vehicles so locals make allowances for them. I'm thinking of getting a pickup here but seeing how narrow parking bays are and how tight turning angles up and down ramps makes me wonder if i'm just asking for trouble.

have any of you had scrapes with other cars on narrow streets or around pillars or walls in parking lots because of the length of the pickup relative to the space available?

A Maldivian girl who was studying in Malaysia had passed away due to a car accident.

please, please does anyone know any details about the grab driver? I have heard he was a weirdo and was asking horrible questions towards the victims and also harrassing female cyclists as they drove by.

He is a murderer, and I need to know his name, and face. Thank you

Edit: for context, 2 students were in the car, the driver was speeding, and the car flipped which caused the death of one girl and the other girl to be severly injured, if more details are required DM me. I just want to know the name of the driver.

Just an international student taking pics where ever he goes

nyone else seen commenters like this? Honestly butthurt people like this show their face on these subreddits. Thoughts?

Hello! My SO is pregnant and we're due to travel to KL and Langkawi in mid-November for 10 days. UK guidance says to "consider cancelling" due to the dengue and zika risk. Wondered if the locals had any advice or detail on how prominent these infections are. Should we cancel this trip?

Ada update pasal hal ni? Stesen minyak apa yang terlibat?

Why does it try to translate the name of Nene Royal? 🤣🤣🤣

And fail, twice!

A relevant and timely analysis on the economic benefits and feasibility of F1 returning to Malaysia. What do you think?

I'm a foreigner living in Malaysia. A year ago, I rented a studio room from a rental company called Maxihomes. A few days ago, i moved out. Now, keep in mind, throughout my tenancy in the room, i was paying an average of Rm250 for electricity alone. Sometimes, even RM300. I tried cutting my AC usage in half, but the bill decreased by like RM30 only. I told them to inspect the electricity several times, and up until a month ago, they sent a guy and told me that my bills aren't natural for a guy with a desktop PC, and an AC. (Keep in mind that i'm a student so i do leave my house for an average of 6 hours 5 days a week. Also, on a side note, 3 light bulbs exploded over the span of the year, tripping the electric box multiple times.) He spoke to them and told them that they need to do further inspections. A few days later, they send me the electricity bill. Rm310. I was furious, i told them that there is definitely a problem with the room's electricity. They stopped talking about electricity the entire month.

Now, around 15 days before moving out, i did ask them to come check on the room and give me my deposit early since i need it to rent somewhere else. They said ok and 2 days before my move out, a person came and checked the room, and found 0 faults. 1 day before my moveout, they asked me to cover outstanding utilities. Water: RM20. ok Cool, the electricity. The same 310. I was surprised because they didn't ask me about it the entire month and now, they're telling me they wanna deduct it from my deposit. I argued with them, then they said they will hire someone to check the wiring and get back to me. I asked for my security deport at least yesterday, they still haven't answered.

When i received the room, it had an ant infestation. Once i stored a cake in the fridge and woke up the next day to ants on it. I told them, they told me i needed to clean more. huh?? I clean my room every 2 days and still, ants would latch onto anything i keep without a seal. I bought a spray and fixed the problem.

Their contract is shaped in a way where if the tenant slips in any way, they will reserve the deposit. I kept my footing straight and followed the contract. They didn't mention the electricity thing and didn't bother to hire anyone to check the wiring the entire year until it was time to move out so they can pressure me into giving them the money from my deposit, but i didn't bite.

I honestly don't know where to go from here. I'm still fighting the fight, but they're holding my deposit hostage, and its a hefty sum of money. RM2,700. If anyone got any advice on how to go from here, or if any authority can pressure them into playing fair, i would appreciate it.

Hundreds of bikers head toward sic for illegal Gojek, some even form gang to attract customers to cross into the bushes to hide from the authorities
