Freemasonry in Malaysia and Singapore

Masonically speaking, Malaysia and Singapore are grouped together and operate under three constitutions, English, Scottish and Irish, and come under:
the District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Archipelago (English)
the District Grand Lodge of the Middle East (Scottish)
the Inspectorate Area of South East Asia (Irish)
Each district is headed by a District Grand Master with the exception of the Irish, where, because there are only three lodges in the Inspectorate Area, the head is a Grand Inspector.
In terms of lodges the breakdown is as follows:
In Singapore
English 8 - Scottish 2 - Irish 1
In Malaysia
English 20 - Scottish 9 - Irish 1
In Thailand
Scottish 2 - Irish 1
The largest number of lodges in Malaysia are found in the capital city, Kuala Lumpur, with Masonic Halls also in all the main towns and cities of Malaysia.
In addition, at most of these Masonic Halls, there are regular meetings of Chapters.
Masonic meetings are held throughout the year with no break, and the normal time of tyling is 1830 hours. Labour is always followed by a full course dinner and visitors are usually asked to "sing for their supper". Normal dress code is black suit and bow and in some cases white gloves, but overseas visitors are welcome in any suit and tie. Visitors should come prepared with their "demit" certificates, GL certs or other identification, and also be prepared to be tested before entry.To avoid embarrassment, please check if your GL is in fraternal relations with the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland and Ireland before visiting.
