In order to apply for electrical, gas and water supply you will need to supply an Identity Card (permanent residents and Malaysian citizens) or your foreign passport number. Specific procedures vary between companies but it is likely that non-permanent residents will be required to pay a substantial deposit and/or provide details of a Malaysian sponsor with the application.
It is not uncommon to experience occasional power cuts and reduced water supply in remoter parts of the country.
State authorities are responsible for providing refuse collection services and household waste is usually collected on a weekly basis, or more frequently from apartment/condominium complexes.
