Tioman Tiger reef rocks! One of the best dive site I've been. Incredible colours, sealife.....
As for wet suit, I used to wear shorties when I started diving. Now I strongly recommend full suit, with a pair of glove. Either it is 1mm or 3mm is OK. If you do multiple dives a day, on the 3 day, you will feel it, even it is warm water diving. The water is still colder than your body temp. The suit will keep you warm.
More importantly, the suit will protect your skin. Depends on the season, you will come across microp, tiny jellies, stingers... all kind of stuff that can sting you. If you happen to come across strong current and fighting your way back, full suit protect your whole body from scratches and cuts from the corals, with glove, you can at least grip on something without hurting your hand. While it is important not to touch the corals, you may have no choice in an emergency situation.
It is a wise investment for a full suit and a pair of glove.
