Malay ones need to be grilled over charcoal for best flavour and are accompanied by cold compressed rice cakes, cucumber and (the local) red onion, as well as the peanut sauce. Unfortunately it can be difficult to find in Malaysia these days.
Sate Padang is definitely not sweet.

As for sate in Malaysia, check out the city of Kajang, relatively near KL.
