Need help organising Medical electives in Malaysia

I'm currently in the process of organising my medical elective and I'm considering Malaysia as a potential destination, specifically Kuala Lumpur. I would really appreciate any advice or recommendations from anyone who has completed an elective in Malaysia or is familiar with the process.

A few questions I have:

Hospital Recommendations Does anyone have suggestions for hospitals in Kuala Lumpur (or other parts of Malaysia) that offer electives for international students? It would be great to know about hospitals with a good reputation for teaching and providing a diverse clinical experience.

Application Process Any insights into the application process would be incredibly helpful. Are there specific documents or requirements that I should be aware of?

Accommodation and Living Costs Any tips on affordable accommodation options or general living costs in Kuala Lumpur during an elective?

General Experience If you’ve done your elective in Malaysia, what was your experience like? Anything you wish you had known beforehand?

Thanks so much in advance! I’m excited to explore the possibility of this elective and would really appreciate your input. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!!
