Understand
Kota Bharu, located in a state governed by the Islamic Party of Malaysia, is a city deeply rooted in social conservatism. As visitors, it is essential to show respect for the cultural and religious sensitivities of the predominantly Muslim population. While non-Muslim women are not obliged to wear a tudung (scarf over the hair), it is advisable for both men and women to dress modestly, ensuring their torso is fully covered. Additionally, be mindful of prayer times, as breaks are observed in various locations, including the vibrant Pasar Malam (Night Market).
