Does anyone know if you can get Malaysian Ringits from Korean banks or would I have to buy them at the airport?

I am in Malaysia right now. Just use ATM's when you get here. 95% of ATM's take foreign cards. Also, the exchange rates you get here at money changers is really good and much, much better than you will get in Korea. I came here with Korean won, and got a better deal then I saw on the internet as the real exchange rate.

Thanks for that man.
However, I am not going to be in KL, I will be in the state of Sabah. I think I might have trouble getting Korean won changed there.
Maybe I will take dollars.

Are you getting a direct flight to Sabah?? You should be able to change your money at any airport you go into. At every money changer I have seen here, they change like 50 kinds of money, I assume that you should be able to change your money. Also, you can just use your ATM card EVERYWHERE (I have only found 1 ATM that didn't take my card, but the one right beside it did). Good luck.

Yeah, take US $ and change it there.

There are money changers EVERYWHERE, even in Sabah, so don't worry about changing to ringgit before going.
