SINGAPORE, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Asian currencies fall after U.S. lawmakers unexpectedly rejected a $700 billion vote to bail out the financial sector. South Korean won tumbles over 3% to 1,229.9/USD -- its weakest since April 2003. Taiwan dollar hits 8-month low at 32.366/USD while Malaysian ringgit hits 1-week low at 3.459/USD. "We are biddish on the dollar versus the ringgit, like other USD/Asians," says a trader in Kuala Lumpur.
