We were just researching what power socket or adapter we are going to need in Dubai to charge our iPhones and power our laptops and thought this info would help you.
The power out of the wall here in Malaysia is 220v the same as Australia and Europe, and fortunately newer laptops and iPhone USB adapters accept both 110v – 240v but you need to be able to plug it in the wall.
Where we are staying downstairs is a small department store that offers really cheap Australian to Malaysian power adapters for 2.30RM each (about 70 cents each) so we picked up 2. So save your money and don’t buy a fancy universal adapter for $80!
