Local Time, Electricity & Water
All parts of Malaysia are in 8 hours ahead of GMT all year around.

Electricity is available except some isolated villages. The electric system is 240-volt 50-hertz. For those with equipment that operates on a different system, the adapters are often available, but it is better to bring your own. Electricity is provided around the clock in Kinabalu Park HQ except Sayap and Serinsim, where generators are switched on for a few hours in the morning and evening.

Water supply from hotels in Kota Kinabalu is generally safe to drink, but in the park visitors are best advised to boil it before drinking. In each shelter there are untreated mountain water supplies. For health safety, the visitors could bring some iodine salts to mix with water to kill the bacteria. It is better if you bring a bottled mineral water which maybe causes extra weight during climbing. In Laban Rata Resthouse, the restaurant will provide boiled water.
