Malaysia is possibly the strictest embassy for approval due to requirements such as having several months of accommodation booked in Thailand, 6 months banked of 500k THB, notarized certifications. This is why other SE Asian embassies are way more popular for applications. If you are willing to submit what KL wants you will be fine.

I can tell you I'm sitting here in KL wishing I applied here, as the visa I applied through via LAX is taking a long time to get responses out of. First response was over 15 complete business days, asked for more docs. I responded immediately and am now past 9 complete days waiting for second review...

what happens if LAX asks you copy of every page of your passport? And you have a stamp going to KL? Will mess up your whole

Application mate.
