Scholarships
Hi Baiti, I'm not too familiar with the options available for postgraduate study, but here are two links which you may find useful.
Chevening Scholarship and scholarship search engine - http://www.britishcouncil.org/malaysia-uk-education-scholarships-and-funding.htm
University of Essex scholarships - http://www.essex.ac.uk/scholarships/
For undergraduates, there are a couple of websites you may want to check out.
ReCom (worldwide msian student network) - http://recom.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=57
You will have to register as a new user to view the discussions. A lot of posts to filter through but there's a wealth of information there.
Tinkosong.com - http://tinkosong.com/category/scholarship/
much neater than recom. you don't need to sift through the rubbish posts
a website I found with google - http://malaysia-scholarship.net/link/
surprised I didn't know it existed. there's an extensive list of scholarship options here
Just a general piece of advice on applying for scholarship - start NOW! It's always too late and never too early to start applying (/preparing your application). If you know of other scholarships, feel free to drop a comment for the benefit of others.
