It's just for casual use. Like dinner or dating session.
So something small and light would do good.

The GX1 looks good but seems like not sold body-old. All comes with the 14-42 or the 14.

Currently the king-of-the-hill tough camera is the Olympus TG-1.

It should take snorkeling depth since its rated up to 12meters but don't take it scuba diving la.

My friends uses the Olympus XZ-1 + PT050 underwater case for scuba but this combination is out of your budget.

The cheapest alternative is the Panasonic FT-3 which is also rated up to 12meters but has less sophisticated sensor (CCD vs backlit cmos) and slower lens compared with the TG-1.

Absolutely cheapest cheapest option will be a Dicapac waterproof bag if you already have a compact camera

thanks for the advice. will be looking for that

It goes around RM2200 nowadays with kit lens! See http://www.mylensdb.com/canon-eos-550d/

For low light recording, you will need large aperture lens. If you are new in this, you will never ever go wrong starting with the 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens! http://www.mylensdb.com/canon-ef-50mm-f1-8-ii/#samplePhoto

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR/Mirrorless + 50mm F/1.8
Budget : RM2,500 (can stretch to RM3,000 if I must)
Your Location : KL, Penang
Preferable brand : Canon, Sony
Type of photography u want to do : Travel, Objects, Portrait (sometimes)
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 550D, Sony NEX F3
Any specific features u want? : Good low-light performance.

I'm quite fond of the new Sony NEX F3 and I really really want the 50mm F/1.8 lens. With the lens, Sony will cost about RM3,100 and Canon is only about RM2,300. It's a huge difference and with the two lenses together, Canon 550D is only heavier by about 100g~150g as compared to Sony NEX F3, though I agree it's bulkier. Please, let me hear your thoughts. I need to upgrade soon and I still haven't decided.
