Crime and Safety
If you lose something in Malaysia, you're more likely to have someone running after you with it than running away. Nevertheless, muggings have been known, and theft from dormitories by other tourists is a common complaint In the more remote parts of Sarawak or Sabah there is little crime, and you needn't worry unduly about carrying more cash than usual. If you do need to report a crime in Malaysia, head for the nearest police station , where there'll be someone who speaks English - you'll need a copy of the police report for insurance purposes. In many major tourist spots, there are specific tourist police stations. It is very unwise to have anything to do with drugs of any description in Malaysia. The penalties for trafficking drugs in or out of either country are extreme - foreigners have been executed in the past.
