Transit twice through Malaysia, do I need a second visa for the return flight?

Visas are specific to both the country you are visiting and the country you hail from (nationality). When determining if you need to get a visa in advance you should always check two pages:

1: your own countries department of immigration and tourism page. Often there is useful information on these pages for residents/citizens and depending on the country they may provide you with specific immigration information relating to the country you wish to visit.

2: The country you are visiting's immigration page. Here you can certainly look up the visa requirements for your specific nationality and it should tell you specifically what is required of you.

My own personal experience with Malaysian immigration was excellent. They allow for visa on arrival (I'm Australian) for many countries and depending on how quickly you depart/return you may be able to use the same multi-entry tourist visa or just imply get another one.

Below is a list of the countries that can get a visa upon entry, please note that if your country is not on this list you will have to get a visa in your homeland prior to departure. Also, this list is subject to change as per Malaysian governmental regulations. The full list of countries that have exemptions is as follows:

Those who are exempt from requiring a visa will receive a 90 day permit to stay include:

Australia
UK [The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]
USA
Canada
France
Germany

Those who are exempt from requiring a visa will receive a 30 day permit to stay include:

Finally I do not know the conditions but as of January 2014 citizens of India are also able to obtain a visa on arrival.
