The Malays are quite active in all respects, including recreation. During public holidays or holidays of an individual state, national and religious holidays, school holidays and weekly weekends, certain groups of the population begin to actively move around the country by Transport, settle in hotels and flood beaches and tourist areas. Do not be surprised by this. Although Malaysia is a Muslim country, nothing human is alien to them, including recreation. At the same time, Malays rest in their country much more culturally than many guests of the country, so you can not worry about the fact that due to the oversaturation of beaches or resort areas you may have conflicts with them.
Worry during the holidays and other weekends you should only think that you may not get a ticket for transport or a hotel room. On the other hand, it is very interesting to visit Malaysia during the holidays. The way out of this situation is quite simple - book flights, train and bus trips, hotel accommodation in advance. Fortunately, for Malaysia, this will not be difficult, and you canBook Tickets in advance for almost any type of transport. The same goes for hotel reservations.
