hi there,

- Chinese New Year is one of the most popular Malaysia festivals as it is one of the longest running festivals in Malaysia.

It starts on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar and traditionally people exchange gifts of red and orange symbolizing prosperity and good luck.

- The Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa is one of the most important events in Malaysia for Muslims.

After a month of fasting during Ramadan in September the first day of Syawal, in the tenth month of the Muslim calendar, is celebrated with the utmost enthusiasm.

- Christmas and New Years are also huge events in Malaysia.

Advice

- I would suggest to plan well in advance for Malaysia tours and accommodations.

- Make sure you cover your arms and legs during all Muslim celebrations, especially women.

Hope this helps
