Rozie, unfortunately, Malaysian citizens are not eligible for any kind of visa free transit at the time being, so you need to obtain a Chinese transit (G) visa in advance to travel on the route you have mentioned in your post.

Malaysian passport holders are eligible for the 24h twov as long as their transit point is not Xiamen.

Unfortunately, Mike is uninformed and is telling you what you want to hear. Unfortunately, the practice by Chinese immigration strongly indicates that Malaysian citizens are not eligible for any kind, including 24 hour, visa free transit. The reason for such a behavior of Chinese toward Malaysians is not openly declared, but if you don't obtain a Chinese transit (G) visa, you are in serious risk not to be allowed to travel on your planned journey. I would not been telling you this to make you a harm, but to save you from a huge disappointment and the loss of money and time you have allocated for your travel. Please, just don't rely on Mike statement because it is wrong.

Since you are a Malaysian, you should apply for a Chinese transit (G) visa through one of CVASC (Chinese Visa Application Service Center) that are located in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Penang. You can do a lot online, but the best thing you can do is to visit their website that is very well constructed and you will be able to obtain this visa in order to travel with the peace of mind.

To conclude, I can just hope that the situation regarding the Malaysian citizens and their ability to normally transit through China will be reinstated as soon as possible, but until then, a visa is a must.
