Malaysia is relatively safe country to travel through, with a few physical threats. Travelers do not need to be anxious, but also should take some precautions such as keeping separate records of travel documents and treasure. Visitors should take care in areas where pickpockets operate, such as crowded bus stations, shopping malls and markets. Travel insurance is always wise in case of sickness or theft. The cost and degree of cover provided by such policies varies greatly so it is advisable to check before purchasing such insurance.
