I got an offer letter now in June, already signed, and they ask me to go for medical checkup.
There is 2 copy of questionnaire for insurance need to be filled up - a copy declare by myself, and another copy to be filled up by the appointed doctor.
I was admitted to hospital in back in March'18 due to VERTIGO.
I wanted to declare in my copy of questionnaire.
But the Doctor scold me, and ask me to keep clean in the pre-employment letter. He then "teach" me to be silence if anything not clear, or doubt.
I clarified to him, but still, he think should keep clean in the questionnaire, so he did not write it down in his copy.
But I think nowadays the Insurance record and linkage should be very advance already. Dont think can really cheat on it...

I work for a hr department. The medical tests are subject to the type of job you are involved with. For example, if you are in F&B industry, the tests will include more like stool tests and typhoid injection cos you deal with food products. If only office job, typically test includes blood pressure, cholesterol, blood tests, eye sight and other simple ones. Normally all the tests will be written in the medical letter your company will give to pass to the relevant clinic. If it's not you can ask them cos you have the right to know, it's your body anyway.
High cholestrol, bp, alcoholism, obesity, poor lung function because of smoking is a BIG NO NO. Small tip from what i heard in hr departments is that in the case they know you have high cholestrol or overweight, they will ask you to exercise or go on some good health programmes to resolve the issue before reapplying or taking up the offer IF they really want you.
Medical check up also involves dr asking your family's history of diseases and your exercise habits. In the end of the day, doesn't matter you are active in sports or what, what is important is what the test results tell the doctor whether to deem you as fit or unfit for the job.
Medical test results usually takes a week for the clinic to send to the company provided that it is a good and reputable workplace.
I mentioned some of the illnesses that companies reject on the above already but just to add: HIV is also a no in malaysia unless it is a truly mat salleh company that has clear policies on discrimination. Most companies in Malaysia don't accept. They won't tell that it's cos of the HIV status but they might just say other reasons.
Dont worry based on your description i dont think you will be rejected
