Tips and Advice on Malaysia from Your Fellow Indonesian Expats

Obviously, expat life in Malaysia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Indonesians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Malaysian mentality and way of life. Indonesians in Malaysia are a part of our community, calling cities such as Kuantan, George Town, Kuala Lumpur, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Indonesians in Kuala Lumpur, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Indonesian delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Malaysian InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Indonesia.
  • On the Malaysia Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get nasi goreng in Kuala Lumpur, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Malaysia has information on the nearest Indonesian embassy and many other institutions.

From the topical rainforests (two of which are World Heritage Sites) to the urban agglomeration of the Klang Valley, you can meet supportive and friendly Indonesian expats in Malaysia on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Indonesians in Malaysia

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Malaysia. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Malaysian nasi lemak, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Kuala Lumpur’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Malaysia? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from Indonesia and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial Selamat siang from our Indonesians living in Malaysia!
