Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy
How we research, verify, and maintain accurate Malaysian travel information.
Editorial & Fact-Checking Standards
At Malaysia Travel Guide, trust is our cornerstone. We follow strict editorial guidelines to ensure every page delivers reliable advice for travelers.
1. Hierarchy of Sources
When collecting travel information, our editors prioritize sources in the following strict order:
- Official attraction operators and ticketing portals (e.g. Petronas Twin Towers, Sabah Parks, KTMB).
- Malaysian Federal and State Tourism Boards (Tourism Malaysia, Sarawak Tourism Board, Penang Global Tourism).
- Official transport operators (Prasarana RapidKL, KTMB ETS, official ferry operators).
- National park authorities (Department of Wildlife and National Parks PERHILITAN).
2. Volatile Travel Facts & Verification Dates
Details such as ticket prices in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), seasonal monsoon closures for East Coast islands, and public holiday opening hours can change. Every attraction on MTG displays a Last Verified Date and a direct link to the primary official source.
3. Estimated Costs vs Official Rates
Where fixed official prices do not exist (such as hawker food meals, taxi fares, or souvenir shopping), costs are clearly labeled as Estimates with clear assumptions documented.
4. Independence & No Paid Placement
No destination or attraction on MTG can pay for higher ranking, artificial five-star ratings, or inclusion. All recommendations are editorially driven.
