Malaysia is a Muslim country. What about alcohol?
Malaysia has a great number of Muslims. It also has a great number of Christians, Buddhists and other religions. Although the government is Muslim, Malaysian society is not ruled by Sharia law but is a model of secular tolerance. All religions are respected here and only in one or 2 states on the peninsula is alcohol not permitted. In Sabah in particular the mix of religions is very widespread and alcohol is not frowned upon (except when you see the price in some of the classier places!).
