From French Polynesia to Malaysia
When travelling from French Polynesia to Malaysia: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Malaysia. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Malaysia
Malaysia runs on 230V/50Hz with Type G, the British three-pin socket.
Grid & history
Natural gas and coal dominate generation, with hydropower from Sarawak supplying the eastern (Borneo) grid. Solar is growing under government incentive programs (NEM).
Availability
Supply is reliable in Kuala Lumpur and tourist areas. Rural Borneo and the east coast can see occasional outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type G is standard, and UK plugs fit perfectly.
Energy mix
Hydro is the largest renewable.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter is essential for non-UK plugs.
- Voltage is 230V, so modern chargers handle it.
