I don't think there is a separate visa for East Malaysia. However, you would need to bring your passport.

Hi, your Employment Pass covers West Malaysia but the Multiple Entry Visa endorsed on it is for Malaysia including East Malaysia. On entry into East African states, you would be considered as a Social Visitor and endorsed with the Social Visit Pass for up to 30 days.

If you are legally staying in Malaysia on an employment pass you can travel to east Malaysia and receive an on-entry endorsement. Same country, just that the pass you have is valid for employment in Peninsular Malaysia - but you have the right to remain in Malaysia and travel within its borders.

So I travelled myself! Yes I visited Sabah (KK) last weekend and it was pretty smooth. East Malaysia have their own immigration even for Malaysians. So as long as one has a valid Malaysian visa (EP included), he can visit East. Social visit is granted with maximum stay of 30 days! Just carry passport, return tickets and proof of stay. Enjoy the trip, its well worth it!

scenario:
(1) fly from BKK to KL: 90-day social visit pass obtained
(2) fly from KL to Kuching: 30-day on-entry endorsement obtained
(3) fly from Kuching to KL: ?
a) Does the traveler get a departure stamp by (2)?
b) Does the traveler get a departure stamp by (3)?

I don't think it would count even if they stamp your passport because you are still in Malaysia
