Thanks to all who replied! So I have made up my mind to drop east coast islands, Taman Negara, Borneo for this time:) Here's the current version of my itinerary.

I have to find out the specifics of ground transportation (buses, car rentals etc),things to do at those places, accommodation arrangements to make this plan work. So lots of work ahead! As always, I need your valuable suggestions:)

Please comment on the revised itinerary!

20 - Arrive in KL from SIN by noon. KL siteseeing, stay at KL. (Would like to visit Batu caves too but not sure whether I can visit it on the same day.)

21 - Leave for Melaka(2 hrs) early morning, site seeing in Melaka, Catch the night bus to KL(~9pm), stay at KL.

22 - Catch early morning bus for Cameron highlands(3 hrs). Siteseeing and stay at Cameron Highlands

23 - More siteseeing in Cameron Highlands.
Leave for Penang(Butterworth)(3 hrs) in the afternoon, hang out and stay at Penang

24 - Spend the day at Penang. leave for Langkawi by Jetty (1 hr) in the late evening, stay at Langkawi

25 - Siteseeing and stay at Langkawi

26 - Siteseeing and stay at Langkawi

27 - Siteseeing at Langkawi, return to SIN via KL. (I have already booked return tickets from KL to SIN by Air Asia. Will see how easy it is to cancel those tickets and book return flight from Langkawi to SIN to avoid a stop at KL.)

Being new in the country, I am playing it safe and avoiding traveling in the night. Because of this I am wasting some valuable time for sure but I guess, during the travel, I can see some more of Malaysia:) Thoughts?
