If your ticket says that you are allowed 35 kg, then it is an Economy Flex ticket and the weight mentioned is only of check in baggage. Cabin bag of 7 kg is separate and in addition to it.
Now, this 35 kg check in allowance is to be taken in 2 bags since it is not allowed to take more than 32 in one bag.

The excess baggage charge in per kg terms for your route of travel is $52 per kg. For 20 kgs, it translates to $1040. This is what is given on Malaysian Airlines website. True, this is too much for any person who has hard earned money. From next time, please always check what allowances are there for baggage for each leg of journey. Sometimes, different airlines operate different legs, which makes baggage allowances even more complex.

People travelling on same PNR on routes where baggage is determined by weight concept, are generally allowed to club their check-in bags with the condition that check-in bag does not exceed 32 kg weight limit.

Whether the luggage would be through checked in or not is something which airline will tell. Ideally when both segments are provided by the airline on one PNR, through check in is provided but still it is a good practice to confirm with the airline.
Laptop bag can be taken in addition to the cabin baggage allowance.

Normally, medican aids like these can be taken in cabin, if these are required during the course of flight. These can be taken free of charge as well. It is good to check with the local airline office about the procedure and documents needed for this purpose.

Though cardboard box can be taken as a check in baggage in general, it shall be flat and not irregular in shape. Second, the weight and dimension limits for the cardboard box are same as that of check in bag. So, single checkin bag shall not be more than 32 kg weight and 158 cm in linear dimensions. Same applies to cardboard box. It is checked in on a Limited Release tag.

Normally, you are required to carry the medicine and equipment required during the flight for a passenger with special needs. This will be apart from cabin baggage allowance. However, do check with the airline whether the child with this special requirement will be taken on board and what would be the documents required for carrying this machine on board.

If you have Economy Smart ticket, it will have allowance of 30 kg in check-in. If you have Economy Flex ticket, then allowance is of 35 kg per person. So, it depends on which Economy ticket have you bought. Please note that no check in bag shall be more than 32 kg in weight. So, if your allowance is of 35 kg, then it has to be divided into two check-in bags.

You have not mentioned which fare type within Economy class has been booked by you. However, you are entitled to a 30 kg allowance on Economy Smart tickets. If it is not showing on ticket, please speak to the airline customer support. Have you booked with any agency? If yes, then ticket might not be showing it due to improper feed of baggage allowances.

The problem is the size of bicycle baggage. It is more than 204 cm which means that it will have to sent through cargo services of the airline and will not be checked-in. Bicycle boxed up to 158 cm in sum of dimension are allowed without charge as part of check in baggage and from 158 cm to 204cm, oversize charges are to be paid.

Only Economy Lite tickets do not have free check-in baggage allowance on domestic routes within Malaysia on Malaysian Airlines. You might have booked this fare type which allows only 7 kg cabin baggage. Economy Basic allowed 20 kg free allowance in check in and Economy Flex allows 25 kg in check in baggage on domestic route. Business class passengers are allowed 40 kg free allowance.

Excess 10 kg is meant for check in baggage. No single check in bag shall be more than 32 kg in weight. So, if it is already 25 kg, you can accomodate max 7 kg in that bag from the additional allowance of 10 kg, leaving 3 kg which is to be taken in another check in bag. You can bring laptop in addition to cabin bag.

Please note that we are not the airline and are an independent website. We can not comment on behalf of MAS. However, let us clarify some of your doubts here. People, at times, travel with check in bags which are of irregular shape which gets struck inside the security scanner machines making it hugely inconvenient for passengers to fly due to delays. These irregular shaped check in bags could be those tied with ropes around or some fabric, etc. That is the reason why your baggage was made to repackage and you were charged for it.
This rule has been introduced by some airlines around the world since last few months.

It depends on a number of factors, depending on your itinerary. So, please ask the airline for it when at airport. Else, please follow up with the airline local office giving your booking ref number in order to know the details.
In general, if the airline is same, the connections are provided by it, you have single ticket for all legs of journey and there is no layover which requires you to leave the airport, through check-in is provided. Again, generally it does not cost extra, provided it is allowed. So, please check with the airline local office for confirmation.
