I'm planning to visit South Korea next month. Short stay, only 5 days.
Do I still need a visa? I hold an Indonesian passport with a Malaysian visa (I live here currently).
Indonesian citizens do not benefit from visa exemptions, according to the website of the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All non-exempt citizens must obtain a visa prior to travelling to South Korea.
In your case you'll need a Ordinary Tourist C-3-9 visa:

Thank you so much. Do you know how long it generally takes for the visa to be issued? Unfortunately, I already booked a ticket. – flynzbr Apr 5 '16 at 16:15

3@flynzbr I have absolutely no idea. Your best bet is to contact your local Korean embassy and ask. FYI the way we say

Based on this website:
Visa is not required for a maximum stay of 30 days if traveling as tourist.

5I'm not saying you are wrong since I had this doubt myself. The way I understand this is that the exemption is valid only for people travelling to/from Jeju:
Visa is not required for a maximum stay of 30 days if traveling as tourist, **if arriving at and departing from Jeju (CJU)**.You are also missing that part of the quote. – JoErNanO♦ Apr 5 '16 at 16:13
