Actually, buying in the States had the advantage of getting the US-style Magsafe adapter plug. It has the flip-out prongs which travel better than the 3-pin ones that are supplied here. You can still buy the 3-pin one at MacStudio LYP. I noticed a box full of them behind the cashier when I bought my 2.4Ghz LED MBP.
No need ah, just buy Wonpro Malaysia plug adapter upstairs at Sri Computers for RM10. When you buy the Mac in the US you will get the 2-pin flip-out plug plus a 3-pin cable.The UK/Malaysia-style "3-pin" plug from Apple isn't actually earthed (at least the iBook G4 one wasn't), so you are better off with the US 3-pin plug plus a Wonpro adapter.
As for bringing a desktop computer as check baggage, the best way is definitely in the original box with all the original molded styrofoam. It's meant to withstand the abuse that it gets from postal delivery for people who order them online.
If you are concerned about it being an obvious theft target, get another plain brown box and put that outside the Apple box. But I don't think something that large is likely to be stolen, normally it's stuff that the airport staff can fit in their pockets.
