The Malaysian Immigration Dept. reconizes the one issued by FOMEMA, a Malaysian central medical screening agency---you have to pass it before you are issued the work permit. Your employer (potential) should have made all the arrangements...[you first enter Malaysia with a social visit pass, but with permission to seek employment via an instrument called a landing permit].The medical tests includes X-rays of the chest area. blood teats of Hebatitius, TB, HIV, VD....

Before coming to Malaysia you have to undergo a medical checkup with a medical practictioner in India which is registered with the Malaysian Health Ministry. You have to be declared free of contagious diseases such as Hepatitis , Tuberculosis, veneral disease, malaria, HIV , a clear X-ray ( on your chest ), free from diabetes, drug, pregnancy and basically are physically fit ( not handicapped ). You'll have to send the ORIGINAL copy of the medical examination report ( a standard format which a registered doctor should have ) over to Malaysia for visa application. Once you have arrived in Malaysia, you'll be given a ONE month period to undergo another medical examination , this time a Malaysian doctor registered with FOMEMA , a body which oversee the medical examination of all foreign workers in Malaysia. If you pass the medical examination , only then you'll be given a full 1 year working permit. If you fail the test, you'll have to return to India and your visa cancelled. You do not have to worry about what test you should undergo. Just go to a registered doctor in India and he'll have all the tests required by the Malaysian government.
