Given the benefit of total hindsight, a starting point of October 1941, but no additional forces, how can we turn the IJA invasion of Malaya into a disaster for the Japanese?



We have a superiority in troop numbers, plenty of concrete and engineering resources, a few late-arrival Indian pattern Marks IV and VI light tanks and a colony-wide railway network to quickly move things around.



Now, we must consider that overtly redeploying British forces will alert Japanese spies and result in changing IJA plans. Thus we can't just build a minefield at the OTL landing sites.
