        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Malaysia?",
        "answer": "The best time to visit Malaysia depends on the coast. For the west coast including Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang, November to March is drier and ideal. For the east coast with the Perhentian Islands and Tioman, aim for March to October. Prices rise during school holidays and major festivals. Note that Malaysia is close to the equator, so it is warm year-round with high humidity."
