      I just go to the government clinic. They are well equipped, know what they are doing, and NOT incentivized to sell you services you don't need. 😅 It's usually like RM2 - 5 (US0.50 - 1.00), but if you're on holiday, you may not want to spend the whole morning waiting for your turn. Though the wait is not as bad as at government outpatient clinics.
      PS: these rates are for citizens only. Foreigners get charged a lot more. But still no where even close to what you get charged at private clinics.

      He's paying full price. No government subsidy. No insurance.
      But Malaysia does have government dental and outpatient clinics, which aren't free, but the fees are nominal. Most don't require pre-booking appointments, though some do. However, there are usually long waits. No days, but hours. As in you go there, take a number, and just wait and doze off. Think of that Mr Bean skit.

    I don't think it is expensive, cleaning at $150 is quite standard, permanent tooth filling is ranging from $130 to $600 per tooth depending on what kind of material. Temporary tooth filling is ranging from $60 to$120.

Indonesia has 17,508 islands spread from Sabang to Marauke. There are so many Indonesian tourist attractions that you can visit, such as: Bali, Raja Ampat, Thousand Islands, PIK, Labuan Bajo, Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, Mount Bromo, Bunaken, Komodo Island, Toraja, Bandung, Jogyakarta, etc. Indonesia has many original cultures and the most delicious food in the world such as Rendang, Soto, Sate, Martabak, etc. Indonesia has a Jakarta-Bandung fast train with a speed of up to 354 km/hour with a track length of 142.3 km. Only 30 minutes to arrive in Bandung using the Indonesian fast train Whoosh. Many Indonesian foods and Indonesian culture are claimed by Malaysia such as Rendang, Batik, Wayang, Reog Ponorogo, Angklung, Pendet Dance from Bali, Keris, Pancak Silat, etc. Food with so many flavors, variants and spices only exists in Indonesia. Malaysia always claims everything from Indonesia, because Malaysia does not have a diverse and numerous culture like Indonesia.

      Oh shut up! Nobody cares Indonesia! Tesla refuses it, NVidia refuses it, Google refuses it. The ordinary tourists refuse it. Overpopulated island od Java with bad infrastructures, eternal traffic jams and congestions, too many motorbikes infesting the streets, lack of respect of traffic rules among Indonesians. Bragging about 17,000 islands which are badly infrastructured. And it's outrageous to claim that Indonesian cuisines are better than Malaysian ones, tourists do not buy this exaggeration. Malaysia is the real food haven. No, we do not claim Indonesian foods. Those cuisines were brought by ancestors of Malaysians from islands that today make up Indonesia, just as many cultural aspects of Indonesia today were brought from outside to Indonesia by ancestors of Indonesians.. These cuisines today rightly and legally form part of Malaysian culinary culture, recognized by UNESCO. Btw, RENDANG came from India to Sumatra, a form of preserved dried curry brought by Indian Muslims to survive the long sea journey from India to Sumatra. Batik existed much earlier in China, Japan, Africa etc before making its way to SE Asia. Same thing as ancestors of today's Americans brought cuisines to America form Europe, like pizza and hamburgers, which today have evolved into American versions of pizza and burgers. But you do not see today Italy (originator of pizza) and Germany (originator of hamburger) accusing Americans of stealing their food culture. Because Italians and Germans are highly intelligent people while YOU Indonesians have extremely very very low IQ that equals that of MONKEYS, that is why you Indonesians are screaming like monkeys that Malaysians steal your culture. There is NOTHING original about Indonesia. Everything about it - from its name, its language, its flag, its national ideology of Pancasila, its Garuda etc etc etc are all taken from others. But Indonesia just love to falsely claim that it is the land of everything original. Go back and sulk in the jungles of your mostly undeveloped 17,000 islands which international tourists do not care to come because the infrastructure to reach these so-called "beautiful islands" (according to YOU) simple does not exist.
