Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Plan a trip of 30 days or fewer. Beyond that, Malaysia needs a different permission and this page does not cover it.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the islands and dive sites off the east coast of Sabah, from Sandakan to Tawau and including Lankayan Island, because of the kidnapping threat. The advice does not apply to mainland Sabah or to the rest of Malaysia. Escalation in the Middle East continues to affect airspace and flight routings.
