The app “Grab” is widely used in Malaysia for transportation purposes (like Uber). Please download the app before arriving.

Hotel
Tourism tax is required to be paid in Malaysia upon arrival to your hotel.

We suggest you download the event app prior to arrival as sometimes attendees have trouble downloading the app when they do not have access to their work email when abroad.
