Melaka - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

Dress code in public is really anything you like. Although it is a Muslim country, you see Chinese girls wearing very little and Malay women covered up. Women should dress modestly at Malay restaurants and other Muslim food places, i.e. covering up shoulders and arms. Work dress code is fairly relaxed and ties are not encouraged! - Sep 2007
