What is the attitude towards homosexuality in Malaysia?
Ans. Malaysia is a peaceful, tolerant and warm country that embraces diversity in many forms. One thing European and American travelers should take into account is that the country does also possesses its own set of traditions and values. Malaysia has a small (but largely dormant) gay rights society, however, homosexual acts are illegal under Malaysian law. Public displays of affection between same-sex couples should be avoided and reasonable reservation and respect for traditions should be observed. This same advice applies to large parts of Asia.
