Hi Vietnam visa team!

I'm a Sri Lankan citizen who residing in Malaysia for 10 years. I plan to travel Vietnam by next year 2013, in January. How would I have my visa processed and may I apply for it here or would he need to apply through the Vietnamese Embassy in Malaysia? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jude
