British citizens do not require a visa for short stays (tourism, social visits, short business) in Malaysia. You will generally be allowed to stay up to 90 days on arrival. As of 1 December 2023, all foreign nationals (see exceptions here) must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online prior to arrival, typically within 3 days before arrival. If unsure of your eligibility, contact the Malaysian High Commission in London before travel.
