Always carry the prescription bottle plus a doctor's letter naming the medication and the condition it treats. Adding your medications to your profile (optional) lets us tell you specifically which of yours match. Malaysia has strict drug laws; carry valid prescription.

Because you're flying in from Trinidad and Tobago (TT), Malaysia (MY)'s entry rules require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. The standard document is the yellow WHO Yellow Card (ICVP) signed by the clinic that vaccinated you. If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons a physician-signed exemption letter is the alternative — both check-in agents and border officers vary in how strictly they accept exemptions, so plan for the strictest reading.
