Answer 1

Since, from some other questions you've asked, it appears you are not planning on marrying a French National, you may not even be able to have a civil union in France as there is a residence requirement for this.

Even if you did marry a French national this is only one factor that will be considered by immigration authorities when determining whether you will be allowed to remain.

Answer 2

The PACS has nothing to do with authorization or lack thereof to live in France. It's basically a civil union between two people (be they of the same s*x or opposite s*x) that falls short of an actual marriage, from a legal standpoint anyway. If you wanted to legally stay in France, you'd simply have to get in touch with the French Embassy in Malaysia to obtain information about the legal formalities and requirements involved.
