Malaysia is hit or miss. I have never been there but some say that, at times, Malaysia mandates fingerprinting for all foreign nationals entering and leaving while recently they stopped doing it but can do so again if it feels like it.
I was in Malaysia in October. No fingerprinting or photos were taken upon entering or leaving. Entered through Singapore by taking a train. Left through Kuala Lumpur's airport. No problems.
