My Pre-Paid StarHub have roaming … but not sure about Malaysia but i guess will work there as that work in Batam (indonesia)

After read yr reply I call my provider m one , they said it is possible to activate the roaming , but then the charges is very high. It is still advise to buy a micro sim card from Malaysia provider.

4 major service provider in Malaysia..

DiGi
MaXiS
CeLCoM
U MoBiLe

but i think DiGi has the best prepaid plan for not-so frequent users like me.

as cheap as RM1 per day. you can buy their broadband internet prepaid pack (if no microsim version available can always ask the provider to cut the normal size to microsim with minor fees, i did tat and no problem so far)

it goes like this..

if you top up RM10, you can use it continuosly for 2 days (RM5 per day) unlimited usage

RM30 - 10 days
RM50 - 25 days
RM100 - 100 days

so for the ease i just top up RM100 for only RM1 per day.

I second Digi

-t

Third. 3G is quite good in urban areas. For rural, you might try for Maxis.
