Faith, Citizenship and the Law

Two layers, two audiences

The federal Acts apply to everyone in Malaysia regardless of faith. State Sharia enactments apply specifically to Muslims within that state.

Visitors and foreign nationals

Foreign, non-Muslim adult visitors are generally subject to the federal layer only with respect to the licensed casino; verify current entry requirements before travel.
