Okay. It’s a vine snake of the genus Ahaetulla. You say you’re from Malaysia. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but it could be either A. prasina or A. nasuta. It does not look like A fasciolata.

I would agree with andy. vine snakes are slightly venomous. but know need to freak. They are rear fanged from what I know IF it does bite you all it will probably do is make you ill. However I would let it go You never know how you'll react to snake venom
best regards,
