If you are a resident Indian, then you carry cash up to US dollar 3000 or its equivalent in Malaysian ringgit and a total of up to USD 10,000 in forex card or traveller’s cheques. Calculate the equivalent quantity of Malaysian ringgit by using the currency converter to convert Malaysian ringgit to INR.

The best way to take money to Malaysia would be through a combination of cash, forex card, and debit/credit card as backup. Majority of your money would be safer and easily usable in a forex card (about 60%). The rest 40% can be carried as cash. Use your credit/debit card as backup money in case of some emergencies or unexpected circumstances where the only possibility of payment is through them.

Yes Malaysian ringgit prepaid card is available and can be purchased from your bank or from a RBI licensed money changer store in your locality.

If your Indian debit card is enabled for international transactions then you can use it in Malaysia without any problems. However, using a debit card abroad has many extra charges associated with it which may eat away your money really fast. Instead of overspending by paying your bank unnecessary charges, consider buying a prepaid forex travel card for your Malaysian trip and save money on currency conversion charges, unfair bank exchange rates and Dynamic currency conversion (DCC) charges.

The Malaysian ringgit is the official currency of Malaysia and as such is the only legally accepted tender there. There may be a few shops or business establishments which might accept Singapore dollars as payment. However, even in that rare chance, the exchange rate they would offer you would be atrocious and you’ll lose a significant portion of your money. It is better to convert your Singapore dollars to Malaysian ringgit by visiting a bank or money changer store.

Again, there may be few establishments in Malaysia willing to let you pay in US dollars but the exchange rate they quote would be unfavourable to you. Approach banks or licensed money changers to get your US dollars exchange to Malaysian ringgits at better exchange rates. You’ll have the added freedom to use Malaysian ringgits to pay for payments anywhere within the country without having to worry if they’ll accept the currency.
