"As a foreigner living in Shah Alam, you will have access to public healthcare, but it is important to note that public healthcare services are primarily catered to Malaysian citizens. Foreigners may be required to pay higher fees for medical services compared to locals. The public healthcare system in Malaysia is generally of good quality, with well-equipped hospitals and clinics, and qualified medical professionals. However, you may experience longer waiting times and crowded facilities in public hospitals. Many expats and foreigners in Malaysia opt for private healthcare, which offers shorter waiting times and more personalized care, albeit at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses while living in Malaysia," remarked another expat in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
