plague0318,

Welcome to Insectnet. Sorry I cannot help identify these wasps, but I expect someone will be able to help.

I have seen wasps in the forest some years ago very similar to the Malaysian specimen. I seem to remember they make a distinct low buzzing sound as they fly. I must admit they are rather scary as I am not very keen on wasps in general, having had bad experiences as a boy and I still bear a scar resulting from a Provespa sting more than 30 years ago.

I must compliment you on the excellent presentation of the specimens.

Adam.
