It is true they very rarely ask at immigration. I have never been asked to show it. However, I once had Air Asia make me show it before they would allow me to board. I had to go to an ATM before boarding. Everyone saying it’s a small amount of money for a vacation? Sure it is, I just don’t want to walk around with that kind of cash OR leave it in my room.
