TLDR : Answer Summary

A user shared that Malaysia will close its borders for foreigners starting March 18, and expressed hope for their partner's entry. Several comments were made regarding potential travel complications, including overnight stays and transit through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). There are concerns about possible quarantine measures for those entering Malaysia.

No idea yet. Will update if I get need from fellow travelers coming in. Probably transit not affected. Hope it's not 14 days quarantine and go back where you came from for those coming into Malaysia 🤷🏽.

If you go overland you will probably have to stay one night in Malaysia as I did last week. Good luck.
