FAQ

Q1
Technically yes (3 KL + 2 KK), but you'll lose 1.5 days to flying and airports. Better 7+ days: 3 KL + 4 KK.
Q2
Sabah, Sarawak, Peninsular Malaysia are all in one country. But immigration paperwork for non-Malaysians is needed for entry to Malaysia as a whole. Within Malaysia you move freely.
Q3
Singapore is a separate country. You need a valid passport (and possibly a Singapore visa or visa-free entry depending on nationality).
