It is advisable for expats living in Malaysia for an extended period to register with their embassy/consulate upon arrival. Even if it’s just for an invite to the High Commissioner’s cocktail party, it is a good idea to find out what is going on. It would also be easier for them to contact you when there is something of interest or emergency support is required.
