Entertainment opportunities extend from Nightclubs, karaoke lounges, discotheques, pubs to cineplexes. The entertainment hub of Malaysia is undoubtedly the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, which is also the economic and spiritual hub of the nation. When the sun goes down is when the bright lights of this bustling city come aglow and it shows a whole new side of life in the city. This is when KL throbs with the pulsating rhythm of its night life. Another city of equal thumping excitement is in Penang which enjoys a lively night scene with larger hotels having cocktail lounges, dining, dancing and cultural shows.
Almost every town in the country boasts of a cinema or a cineplex. Malaysia’s only government licensed casino can be found at Genting Highlands. Gambling is not allowed anywhere else in the country. To gain access to the casino dressing is relatively formal and patrons must be over 21 years of age. Muslims are not allowed in the Casino.
Live theatre performances by local and foreign artistes are popular pastimes for both the local crowd and visitors. These are performed mainly in English and occasionally in local dialects.
In major towns, you can take a City Night Tour which, among other things, will enable you to have a typical Malaysian meal before you settle down to watch a cultural show.
