agree with ForestDragon! Erebidae, Lymantriinae, Orgyiini - Orgyia sp.

Though I don't know the species that live in Malaysia, I can say that this is most likely a Tussock Moth caterpillar. It would be Genus Orgyia. Some examples from the USA, they look quite similar: http://bugguide.net/node/view/335/bgpage
