Just to add one more point to Mark Mayo’s excellent Answer, this would be concern everywhere, not just Malaysia.
However, planting any contraband in passenger baggage is very uncommon because it is comparatively risky for the smugglers. There is a much higher chance of either losing control, as opposed to airline or supporting assets such as catering equipment, or having it detected by either the passenger or entry inspection.
Firstly, yes currently, drug trafficking carries a mandatory death sentence there (although only if you’re carrying more than a certain amount, out of interest).
Worth considering, however:
Finally, and I’m happy to be proven wrong, but I’d be willing to bet large sums that statistically, you’re more likely to die in a car crash than have drugs planted in your bag entering Malaysia. If you’re willing to get into a car tomorrow, you don’t need to worry about this. Sometimes rationalising it helps. However, sometimes anxiety isn’t rational, and I get that. But it’s honestly not worth worrying about, look forward to your amazing holiday instead!
