Travel adapter from South Africa to Malaysia
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from South Africa, you will need a travel adapter for Malaysia. South Africa uses Type C/Type M/Type N plugs, and Malaysia uses Type G, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket.

More about plugs in Malaysia
In Malaysia, the standard power plug is Type G. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means every wall socket in Malaysia is the same shape — Type G, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
