Your questions are identical to Julien's in the Indonesian forum.

I'd like to say that after work I hang out at bars, get drunk and bring a different girl home every night, but in reality I never worked in Malaysia, and would usually just head over to a mall to eat and shop. Also I'd do photo shoots with hired models or head into the jungle to photograph insects.

There is no advice to newbie expats. Either they figure things out themselves or maybe they should go home and play life safe. Also, if you work here and are lost them join your work colleagues.
