Quick question for the Malaysia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
