hello, not sure about the hardness of normal water in Malaysia but Discus require a hardness of 1 - 5 dGH which is soft and slightly acidic.
You can buy a test kit for hardness (KH) and test the normal water from the tap to see its hardness and to determine if it should be soften.
My guess is that your water needs softening , but its better to test it. You can soften the water by putting in boiled water. Make it more acidic by using peat filteration
All the best! Discus are beautiful fish :-)

I know discus are very sensitive to their water and it must be kept correct or they won't survive. They are one of the most difficult fish to keep. They require strict water perameters and temperature. You better do some more research before taking these guys on.
