I'm not an electrician but my understanding of PAL and NTSC is that: 1) they run on different power frequencies, where NTSC is 60hz and PAL is 50hz so an NTSC Wii will need a type of frequency converter to power it on. The games will work only in that Wii because games are either PAL or NTSC also, unless it has been modified. 2) Then there is the TV.The PAL TV will not understand the NTSC signal being sent to it. I believe you can buy a converter for the signal. If you buy PAL games you will need to Hack the Wii to force that signal to NTSC for the Wii to understand it. PAL games in an NTSC Wii usually show a green screen on the TV. Hope that helps?

Your Wii and any games you've bought in Canada will work, but any games you buy in Malaysia will not work, since Wiis are region locked and you will be in a different region (Malaysia is a PAL region, whereas Canada is an NTSC region). The only way to play games overseas would be with a mod chip called Wiikey.
