Niqab as a student in Malaysia

Hi, I am going to study at the International Islamic University of Malaysia this year in sha Allāh, and I had some questions about niqab and student life. Please don't be quick to think that my questions are stupid, I actually live in France and with all the struggles I had to go through with my hijab, and surprisingly even from some people of the muslim community here, I have some worries.

First of all, I know it is mostly an Islamic country, but how is the global vew about niqab ? Like would I get weird looks if I wear it there ? And can I wear it at school ? Would that be seen strange to wear it on school grounds or in class ?

I always wanted to wear niqab the moment I leave france and go to a Muslim country (it's prohibited in France). Here, just covering your head, even if it is not hijab, is seen as a bad thing. I couldnt wear hijab at school, and as I said, sometimes, even from fellow Muslims, I got few dirty looks because I cover "too much" and they think I and sisters who dress like I do make it even worse for hijabis in France, like we dress covered as a provocation (since it is prohibited I don't wear niqab here btw)

And even in my country of origin, which is a muslim country, very few women wear niqab, and there are people from there who say it scare them or just don't like it. So I am worried it might be the case in other Muslim countries, and maybe malaysia is one of them...

I hope I didn't offend anyone with that post, otherwise I apologize. I just really want to know about this topic before coming to Malaysia and start studying.
