Depends on the company culture of course, but the places I've been in Malaysia have dressed fairly casually (lots of polos or casual collared shirts but a t-shirt was fine), what you describe wouldn't be a problem. The only thing to pay attention to is that if your office has Muslim people it is generally respectful to wear long pants instead of shorts (I went to a factory in Malaysia once and wore shorts because it is ungodly hot and my next colleague to visit got a friendly reminder to wear long pants).
Yeah avoid showing cleavage or legs. Long pants in lightweight fabric should serve fine. Uniqlo Airism will do.
Not to mention when you’re indoors the aircon is actually cold.
