One common phrase we’ve often heard exclaimed in this country, especially on bright and sunny days is, “Malaysia so hot lah!” It’s an unfortunately true statement as Malaysia is located in the Khatulistiwa part of the equator. In other words, Malaysian weather will never morph into winter, summer, spring, nor autumn. All throughout the year, our weather will either be one of these two options: rain or shine. Talk about having a drought of options.
But as the youth say, it is what it is. Malaysians have learned to adapt to their weather admirably over the years. Granted, the advancements in technology have plenty to do with our immunity to the blazing hot sun. Amazing gadgets like handheld electric fans and portable air conditioners are a definite must-have if you want to thrive in Malaysian conditions. Here are some of the best portable air conditioners in Malaysia.
