The Malaysian government provides healthcare at a subsidized rate, so the majority of Malaysians rely on government funded health care.
If you are not covered by the public scheme, most companies provide a basic insurance policy for their employees. These policies tend to provide limited coverage so it is best to secure additional private insurance. Private healthcare companies can be found in Kuala Lumpur and offer adequate international expat insurance.
