hi mate
try a search as i did but cant remember how and its shows all
the malarial \regions in the area you search for......

Do this on
google.com or a good website is virtualtourist.com

and search for
MALARIA MAPS MALAYSIA

hopefully should do the trick.if not then email
or reply as i have them somewhere.

also buy your tablets there as
they are over the counter and much cheaper,but make sure you wear a very
high sunblock as they sometime s make your skin absorb sun 10 times
quicker,beware!!!

No & No ( Well at least not in all the years I've been going there)

I never took any when I went there. It is relatively developed, and as
such should be malaria-free.

good advice apart from the fact that i find virtualtourist.com to be
just spam hell. individuals on it are fine but the commercial
management sucks.

Hi,

don't think so, most of Malaysia is malaria-free.

If you do decide to do a prophylaxis, see a proper doc about it - only
the two of you can determine which one is right for you. Regardless of
what other people might say!
