Did you get my reply to your PM? It was kind of lengthy. If you're passing through let me know - I'll point you in the right directions if I can.

Probably a great place to raise a family and retire so long as the Muslims don't get too out of control in the coming years.

The Muslims control the goverment, but the Chinese control the private money. And everyone pisses on the Indians - although they have no problem celebrating Indian holidays like Deepavalli this Wednesday.
I haven't really seen much extremism because I'm in KL - it gets VERY conservative outside the city. Plenty of non-Halal places in KL and Penang, not so much elsewhere.
For what it's worth, it was two hand grenades (one didn't detonate as the grenades were over 20 years old) under parked cars - and it was attributed to a rival gang problem.
