your company must be crazy (dont want to use the word dumb) to send you to Malaysia if you are already in Malaysia... yes u will need working visa, your company should do everything for you by right!
2 :
Just stick with visiting visa and make sure you don't get caught. Getting caught is highly unlikely unless you work in a risky business (i.e massage parlour, GRO, bartender) Edit: I don't think it is considered as work
3 :
i won't use the term work if it is only 20 days, it should be business trip or training, remember if any government officer ask you should not mention the word work ( training is the best word ) upon arrival when you stamp your passport 30 days will be given, just enjoy and have a happy trip, welcome

Go to the nearest Immigration Department to get the working permit. I think this should be done by your company earlier.

NO. Philippine passport holders don't need visas to visit Malaysia because both are members of ASEAN - as long as you don't extend your visit after 30 days and you shouldn't work. A visit just for company purposes is NOT considered work - as long as you are not receiving a salary direct from the Malaysian company/branch. If an immigration officer asks you about your intent in visiting Malaysia, just say that you are undergoing a "Company tour" or "Company training". Do remember that some Malaysian officers are a bit doubtful regarding Filipinos because of the large (illegally-employed) Filipino community there.
