Travel Plug Adaptor for Malaysia

You are in luck! Malaysia uses the same type G socket as found in the UK so you shouldn\t need any adaptors as long as your appliances have standard UK 3 pin plugs.

Please be aware that whilst a travel adaptor will allow you to physically plug a UK plug into a different socket it will not change the voltage or frequency of the supply.

Voltage - The mains voltage in Malaysia is 240 V which is compatible with all UK appliances (UK voltage is currently specified as 230 V +10% / - 6%).

Frequency - The frequency in Malaysia is 50 Hz which is the same as the UK.

Special considerations - "The official mains power voltage is AC 230 V with the tolerance of +10%,-6%.However, the supplied voltage remains at 240 V (except Penang at 230 V), as the supplied voltage is within the allowed tolerance. Type C plugs are very common with audio/video equipment. Plugged into Type G outlets using widely-available adapters or forced in by pushing down the shutter. The latter is widely practiced, although hazardous."
