Entrance is free, as with the other Val Thorens nightclubs, except on the occasional special night such as New Year's Eve. It opens at 10pm, and alternates DJ sets and live music. Abraxas are a regular band, well worthing seeing. 

Around 1am, they open the doors from the large bar and stage area under the entrance by the waffle stand, through to the club and dancefloor. The whole of Malaysia has enough space for 2500 people. (There's said to be 700m2 of dancefloor in total). From 2am, Malaysia is in nightclub mode, until it closes at 5am.

Often, there are more boys than girls in the club.
