Hi it's simple. Go to the states Islamic affairs office - the rules are DIFFERENT for each state. If marrying out of home state a Malaysian must get permission from home village leader. Also foreigners need a letter from embassey stating no objection to marriage. You will need to do a marriage course. The good ones give you all the paperwork and get a checklist from local Islamic affairs office (eg JAIS in selangor).
Beware rules change. Eg recently women have to prove their parents were married. If not hard to get married! Strange but true. You will need an Islamic conversion card to prove you are Muslim.
Good luck
