Socializing with fellow Malaysians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Swiss mentality and way of life. Malaysians in Switzerland are a part of our community, calling cities such as Geneva, Bern, Zurich, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Malaysians in Zurich, for example.
