No, they will give you a strange look. Please don't spread this habit into Malaysia, otherwise you will make it difficult for the locals, really. Not everyone can afford giving extra few ringgit each time he eats or uses taxi or any other service. The 10% service surcharge mentioned is common for restaurants like Pizza Hut but not for Malaysian restaurants.

Tipping is not a must. if you are in hotel you can give as low as RM 1. how much is depends on you.
In a restaurant, take back you paper notes and leave the small change behind, that will be less than RM 1

Spider

no - except the guy who takes your bag to your hotel room - RM1 per bag

no where else takes tips

Yes,
Tip whatever your service is worth, just like anywhere else.

from 0 to 20% depending on QOS.

No.. but giving out is atmost welcome.

In Malaysia's culture, if you give tips to anyone who gave a good service is most welcome.
But this shouldn't be made into a cultural habit for it might tarnished the image of the employer who hires them...remember service above self!

I usually tip RM5 to RM10 on taxi drivers, bellboys, & housekeeping. Same amount goes for waiters as there is already a 10% service charge.

Tipping is always welcomed anywhere. In Malaysia, it is not really expected specially if you see a Service Charge on the bill. However, tip 10% if you want to whenever there is no service charge on the bill.Good luck and go to BINTANG Walk for a beer!

Rey

it's how much you can afford to give. in restaurants 10 percent of the bill is okay.

JaMeShi

No, not really. Most often than not, you are already paying the service charge of 5 to 10%. There's no point tipping over what's already tipped.

Stranger On A Bus

When you dine out in the restaurant, you will notice from the bill that they will charge you about 5 - 10% of service charge. So, you don't have to give them any tip.

IS DEPEND ON WHERE, WHAT TIME, PLACES AND THE PURPOSE

No such practice for voluntary tips.
Compulsary tips we have a lot e.g. when you eat at a presentable restaurant the comp. tips is
a) 10% sales tips
b) 5% service tips

Anyway, don't get the message wrong, these comp. tips (tax indeed) are meant for the government, not the waiter etc.
