Despite its large gay population, Malaysia suffers from an anti-gay government, and local culture in some cases has not been very gay friendly. However, there is a reasonable gay scene in the large cities, although both ethnic Malays and ethnic Chinese prefer to be a little discrete. Please be careful when cruising due to police activity. If you know of any new bars or clubs, or any changes to the places listed here, please let us know.
