What are the requirements for the Certificate of Employment when applying for a visa in Kuala Lumpur, and do I need certification from the US embassy?

Hi! I'm unfortunately applying from KL. 2 questions about the Certificate of Employment:

1. What to include: other than the basics from a template is there something KL is going to require?

2. I'm US citizen for a US company, do I need to bring the docs to US embassy in KL to certified them? Anyone has any experience doing so?

Can anyone recommend a visa agent that has experience with KL?

Thank you so much and please wish me luck! 🥲

I didn’t apply through KL but am American and work for a US company and they wrote a letter saying I was allowed to work freely in the world and my other basic info like start date and ongoing date, wage and info if they needed to contact me. Later I was also asked for a longer description of what my job was and I submitted and was approved. I didn’t get anything certified or go to the embassy at all.
