It's going to be hot.

Stay at the Traders if you want a 5 star experience on the cheap. Club floor = yes.

If you just want cheap, stay in Chinatown. Walk around the street markets if you aren't squeamish.

I hear the Batu caves are cool. Elephant tours can be good depending on your guide, but plan to spend all day. KL tower is kinda meh. If you want to hit the major tourist spots the hop on hop off bus is a good way to see the city.

They say the night markets are where it's at, food-wise. The Reggae Bar in Chinatown can be a nice break if you're craving western food by about the third or fourth day.

Good luck. Tokyo should be quite a contrast.

This song should give you a good idea of what it's like:
