Can two persons with same flight ticket apply for visa from different countries?
My friend and I are going to visit Malaysia. I live in Germany and my friend lives in India. We have booked a common flight ticket from Delhi, India to Malaysia.
QUESTION: Is it possible that I apply for Malaysian visa from Germany and my friend apply from India?
UPDATE: Thanks for funny, sarcastic and meaningful replies. I just meant that we (my friend and I) have a single booking (a ticket on which my friend's name and my name are written). So, I was wondering could it be a problem if I submit this ticket for the visa. I was just curious if the embassy could ask me the details of the second person. Apparently, it should not be any problem.

It's not only possible, it is required.
Malaysia's consulates in both the India and Germany require visa applicants to prove that they reside in their respective countries.
From the VFS pages for Malaysian visa applications in India:
Foreign National’s [sic] will have to submit a valid address proof of India.

The Malaysian consulate general in Frankfurt notes among the required documents for a visa application:
Valid Residence permit for Germany

Answer 2
When you are flying with the airline I am working for in IT, as an example, you are technically getting multiple tickets even if you have booked the flight together. The distinction of bookings (reservation data like seats) and tickets (mostly commercial data such as fares and fees) is mostly for technical reasons and dates back to ancient technology. All of this has no relevance for visa and other "official" documents.
Answer 3
Yes you can apply that way.
Actually we do submit our tickets (photocopy) when we apply for visas.
However, it isn't a strict neccesity. We do it that way in order to provide some proof of our planned journey. That's it. You dont need to worry about it.
Answer 4
Not only required at Country Level, but possibly at provincial level as well for India. This especially applies to PRC. I'm in Australia and I have to apply independently of my wife because we officially reside in different states. Try and follow the South, West, Southwest, and "Mumbai, Ahmedabad & Pune" requirements for Malaysia in @phoogs link above....
